Grazingterrorist said: "Why don't you declare the judaism as a terrorist religion since it allows EXACTLY the same behavior than Islam?"

Yeah that tiny little speck of a country is intimidating the poor little muslim world. Uh huh. Poor helpless little muslim EMPIRE is threatened by a strip of land about the size of west virginia. Go on.

Let's declare Evangelism as a Terrorist Religion,, don't they preach eternal damnation & the "End Times" ??

"RonnieHM, there were no terrorists in Iraq before we toppled their government."

Well, unless you count the government. The guy dropped gas on an entire city and killed almost 200,000 people in one day. And what's with this theory that America showed up and suddenly Sunnis and Shiites wanted to kill each other? They were all in Iraq before we got there. We made them hate each other?

"Anyone who wasn't a politician?"

You mean like a soccer stadium filled with people, in the part you requoted from me?

And what, do politicians only count when they say bad things about the US? Don't get me wrong, they could do a lot more. But so could we, and saying we have to kill them all, or that we should "outlaw their religion as a terrorist group" does nothing to help us.

[j-whitman]

Ronnie,,, Think of it this way,, very basicly,, no one anywhere likes namecalling, neither does any sovereign nation.

[grazinggoat]

It's about time we designated that whole "religion" a terrorist organization.

RonnieHM , you are the reincarnation of Hitler... and you are silly. Your thoughts aare all driven by an objective that is not clearly said. You don't mind and don't care for the safety of any. Tell the people here in this blog what are your hidden objectives of smearing the reputation of religions? Why don't you attack the Neo-Cons Evagelists who are not behaving better than Islamists? Why don't you attack the behavior of Ultra-Orthodox Jews in Israel who are behaving exactly like the Islamists. Or why don't you attack or at least criticize the killing of innocent civilians in Beit-Hanount/ Gaza strip... Why don't you declare the judaism as a terrorist religion since it allows EXACTLY the same behavior than Islam?

[pakaal]

We're failing in iraq because of iraqis, not Bush. Bush made one mistake: depending on muslims to take our side against terrorists."

RonnieHM, there were no terrorists in Iraq before we toppled their government. Who knows, we might even have come out ahead if we had came, saw, conquered and left. We stayed.

"Interesting question, RonnieHM. Mubarak condemned the attack. Arafat said he was shocked by what he described as "an unbelievable disaster and said he would be "willing to help track down the perpetrators." In Iran, Tehran's main soccer stadium observed a minute's silence in sympathy with the victims. Ayatollah Imami Kashani spoke of a catastrophic act of terrorism which could only be condemned by all Muslims, adding the whole world should mobilise against terrorism."

Anyone who wasn't a politician? I'm talking about protests. Anything? They took to the streets over cartoons. Were there even two old guys in a street waving a flag after 9/11?

[j-whitman]

vessius,,, As we are talking,, Bush's Former Treasury Secretary Snow is in control of Hedge Funds that control the companies being awarded New Iraq Contracts,,, they employ the same execs accused of WAR PROFITEERING... Bush is flatly selling out our country & troops.

vessius,,, You've fallen victem to the GOP harmfull & quite wrong rehtoric turning Americans against Americans,, just as they did in Viet Nam, & succeded then also, turning Americans against Americans, & turning Americans against our troops...

"That whole concept of declaring countries as Terrorist or "Axis of Evil" -- has only caused more problems"

I think once a country is a terrorist regime, we're pretty much beyond the point where calling them a name is going to make much difference.

[ronniehm]

"What's the logic there? That Islam has caused more violence in the world than Christianity?"

In the last I-don't-know-how-many centuries? Yes. It's about time they evolved already. Was there even ONE protest in a muslim country against 9/11? If there was, I sire didn't hear about it. I'm sorry, but I'm sick of it. These people need to stand up to their own terrorists like christians condemn terrorist acts by christians. We're failing in iraq because of iraqis, not Bush. Bush made one mistake: depending on muslims to take our side against terrorists.

[pakaal]

There's a big difference between "understanding" and "justifying" and that's where you fall down - you think 'all people in the Middle East are terrorists, and subscribe to an evil religion'. Sure, with that way of thinking you will never understand folks over there, and can't articulate a strategy/response other than "kill them all". This is the fatal shortcoming of the Bush administration, a shortoming Bush 41 didn't have.

[pakaal]

vessius, saying I "justify killing americans in various ways" is both insulting and incorrect.

As I just said, "For the record I am opposed to ALL suicide bombers, and terrorism in general. Heck, I'm opposed to killing in general, it's just not very civilized."

[pakaal]

"It's about time we designated that whole "religion" a terrorist organization."

I expected a more reasoned comment from you RonnieHM. What's the logic there? That Islam has caused more violence in the world than Christianity? I can't imagine you'd stick to that argument, I think you know history better than that.

[vessius]

moral relativism, gotta love it. both pakaal and j-whitman have exercised great effort to justify killing americans in various ways. The crux of both arguments, our policies.

[j-whitman]

Ronnie,,, That whole concept of declaring countries as Terrorist or "Axis of Evil" -- has only caused more problems,,, Bush even uses that for his own political promotion.. while causing more terrorists... IT'S OUR FORIEGN POLICIES NOT OUR FREEDOMS.
