"Islam wants to kill everyone that won't convert and enslave those who do. "

..and yet, WE'RE the ones that invade and occupy THEIR countries! Go figure. I suppose it stops them from converting and enslaving us, right?

Islam wants to kill everyone that won't convert and enslave those who do. Can't believe how many want to give up and live in slavery.

Certainly the militant and fundamentalist Muslims do.

But the Muslims I worked with never presented to me that they held that belief. And we had lots of extensive conversations on the topic. So where there is even one person who believes that religion has no business engaging in violence to force people to adopt their faith, there is hope.

And tell your son that I REALLY ADMIRE HIS DEDICATION (as well as his service)!!! We will really need professionals like him to carry on this struggle against militant Islam.

I wonder if I've ever met him personally (worked with a lot of AF guys).

I'll keep him in my prayers..

Hawk

What are you talking about? Who's doing all the killing? All I see is U.S. and Israeli bombs murdering Muslims by the tens of thousands. And so the Muslims fight back. You would to if someone was murdering your family. Your crap makes no sense as it is US who have the powerful weapons WMDs and are using them on civilians. Have you ever thought that the reason Muslims are pissed is because of that?
