The viewpoint I am showing here is a minority one even within the right. Most of our Politicians wouldn't know a Wahhabi from a Moderate Muslim. They refuse to think of this as a "Religious" war on their part. I don't think it is any more a religious war than the nazis were a religion. I believe that there are bigots in Islam, just like there were bigots in the south, and right here in Canada. My great Grandad was an Orangeman of fierce repute. 3 or 4 women in his family were blown up by catholics and he hated them with a passion. We live longer lives than most, so I knew him well. I was even invited to march in the Orange Lodge parade at one point. One of my young cousins was seeking some information for something or other, and I mentioned we were an Orange family in the early years. he is young yet, barely 30. he phoned from his new mother in laws house and asked his questions, and I answered it. He said to his mother in law that I said we were an Orange Family. Some Catholics still have not much of a sense of humour. He is apparently a Cornish Christian and the new in laws are French Catholics. 100 years ago, Orangemen ran the province of Ontario, and the rights of Catholics had to be Guaranteed by the Government because of the discrimination Catholics faced. 100 years ago we used horses and steam shovels and cement was moved in wheel barrows by hand. We just have to make sure that we kill the right muslims and keep the best and most moderate alive for a couple of generations. 100 years from now Muslims will giggle and say, that didn't happen at all. Just like my young cousin, didn't know the Catholics killed women in his family with a bomb.
