I see bigotry, bias and a lack of understanding. But then so what else is new? The old cliche goes that those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it is sadly true. You haven't yet figured out why we lost in Vietnam and are now cheering on another losing war in Iraq. And once again, young men and women are dying for the stupidity of those who never learned from the past.

Anyone with a modest of knowledge of history (not something I would necessarily accuse you of) knows that all the crimes that either the bigoted or the uninformed claim are central to Islam could also be charged of Christianity at various points in its history. Likewise the outbreak of anarchist terrorism at the end of the 19th century is not so different even in ideology of the more nihilist Islamists. Or that while Christianity was at its most barbaric that Islam was the world leader in both tolerance and in arts and sciences. It also appears that you are unaware that the country with the world's largest Islamic population is also a functioning democracy which has had a woman as president.

Better to focus on actually fighting terrorism rather than engage in stupid religious slurs and the promotion of new Christian crusades against Muslims. That was tried in the 1095 and turned out rather badly.

Chris, Read up on the god of Islam and while your at it, refer Rick to the parts about wanting all people to convert or die.

Read some history. Read about the Christian crusader slaughter of Muslims and Jews at Jerusalem. Your assertion that all or most Muslims follow the Islamist teachings is both uninformed and bigoted. But what else is new?
All excellent points RickSp. Our drug crazed 'friend' was taken short. You will blow his brain entirely with you poser about 'woman president'. Will you put him out of his misery or will I. OK , then. Bang, bang...bang. Eight, is that enough. Certainly did for that poor Brazilian.

Now that we have a drug free zone again, could you hazarded a guess at which religion was responsible for the most 'conversion by sword' converts. I would guess that the number in South America alone would be enough to win it for the Christians. I'd guess the Christians have a better score rate than all others combined. Some record. Now, don't count in those in Iraq today. And leave out Vietnam. I've seen enough about Vietnam in 24 hours to do for the next 6 months. It's really tough trying to debate with someone only spewing out scu - no that word is banded - bigoted racist crap. I think he got buried in a load of his own. I just got a worm advise. I'd say we all got a bit infected today from that worm going about. I'm afraid I might get dumped upon if I say any more. Keep up the good work. Moderates everywhere.
