"one violent and primitive exception" Distressingly right after I wrote my former post this was my next reading...

Multiple victims' after shooting at US high school

Heck we don't need Muslims to kill us... We'll do it ourselves!

I watch Grit TV... every once in awhile... they specialize in Oaters... "TV with a backbone" and other he-man type TV and movies. Lots of incredibly racist movies about "violent" native Americans attacking peaceful Christians who were after all ONLY SETTLING on their land.

Native Americans were "one violent and primitive exception" in the 50s and 60s remember? Of course we "slaughtered" 8 million of them.

Few people buy THAT bullshit anymore but...

Nothing really has changed... we still thing the victims of our violence are the "bad" guys... we just have different bad guy victims now. Now its not land its oil.

It's a bit amusing but not a little distressing how our culture seems to think violence is the cure for almost every problem. How propaganda permeates our culture. TV is a constant parade of violent idiotic cop shows.

Nice try in changing the subject, which was theology (religious belief and dogma), not politics, although in Islam, they're basically one and the same. Muslims are commanded, by their religion, to "kill the Jews". The reverse is not true. And Christianity and Hinduism and any of the other religions do not command their adherents to "kill the Muslims" and promising paradise by doing so.

Politics and war are different subjects, and I have neither the time nor inclination to dig into those here at this time. Have the last word on this, if you feel the need..
