I acknowledge that this is how it must seem to many Muslims who have no access to television and can't read, so don't have access to newspapers. However, what you forget is that we were happily minding our own business when Islamic people decided to kill 3,000 Americans in New York.

A few Islamic people.....not a nation, not a city state but a few Islamic people. Two Christian white guys blew up federal building in OK City. Do we condemn all white Christians?

Therefore, we fought back. Islamic people need to be taught that we will never allow an attack against our innocent civilians to go without a response of equal or greater magnitude.

Taught? When does anyone learn a lesson from a hard blow to the head? We are killing innocent Muslims while we do shock and awe. What we are teaching is for them to hate us.

We have allowed this cancer to grow for too long and now it's time to go through chemo.

These are people, not a virus. Chemo works on viruses.....sometimes; not on people.

You don't have to like it, but it was inevitable. As long as Islam continues to be a backward, intolerant religion devoid of intellectual capital and modern ideals, they can expect to be at complete odds with the rest of the world. As long as they direct their hate at America, they can expect to get attacked and beaten.

When did Christianity promote unmerciful revenge? Wasn't Jesus against an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth?

It's pretty silly really. If Mike Tyson was walking by you in a dark alley, would you throw a punch at him? Then after he beats you to within an inch of your life, would you then say how unfair it was of him to give you a sound beating? Wake up. Islam is corrupt and the Arabs in the Middle East need to figure out how to climb out of the 5th century and join the rest of the world in the 21st century.

The people who committed 9/11 were not corrupt. They were fundamentalists.....incorruptible religious ideologues......not too unlike the Evangelicals of America. They are fully committed to their cause.

You know DR is fond of saying that liberals will quickly forget the importance of 9/11.........and he considers that to be the underlying problem. Well, let me tell you.....DR has got it wrong. The Republican's unwavering obsession with 9/11 will be its undoing.....and this country's....if the rest of us can't stop them. Mark my words!
