It doesn't matter. You can show people as many photos of mangled and violated corpses as they can take without vomiting, they'll still go to war.

If we haven't realised that war is bad by now, we will never, ever realise it.

It totally is. And this war had nothing to do with that.

varus is the one espousing war on Islam. That sounds suspiciously like genocide to me. Hasn't someone else tried to wipe out a particular non-christian religion before?

Yeah, I think it was Totem. Good thing we foiled his plans.

You're surprised that they are human? Murder, rape, larceny ...all normal.

If you want to know what humans do, you don't need horror stories about sailors. Read the news.

I'm sure you're quite wrong. The Japanese never murder, rape or steal from each other. All crime is imported, mostly from America, which as we all know is bad.

Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad.

Are you saying that because of this fact, we shouldn't bother punishing anyone at all for these crimes? If so, well...enjoy your sh*tty anarchy.

Allow me to reverse this:

We prosecute hundreds of citizens of Japanese ancestry here in North America for getting drunk and raping, murdering, or stealing from the other citizens (and some do more than one of these things)

See? It doesn't matter what the nationality is, people will still do terrible sh*t, and they should all be punished.

Actually Islam has already declared war on western civilization. Western culture can either capitulate or defend itself. Guess which of these options I advocate? I know you would rather pretend Islam is this peace loving religion hijacked by a few radicals; but that's not reality.

Sometimes war is the only solution to preserve ones basic rights. Unfortunately the Democrats would rather get on their knees than defend the liberty the forefathers of this country fought, and died, for.

If Christianity (or at least all their leaders) declared a Crusade on someone or something, would you, as a Christian, immediately strap bombs to yourself and kill for the glory of Jesus? No. Well, ok, maybe YOU would. But not most "Christians." "Islam" as you are describing it is just a portion hijacked by a few radicals. If Muhammad himself came down and declared Jihad, you might have a point. Same if Christ came down and declared a Crusade. Barring that, we are NOT at war with Islam, and Islam is not at war with us.

A radical sect of worshippers of Islam has declared a fatwa on Americans. Islam itself is a religion.

You're right we should declare war, because that's been going well so far.

It is. Considering there are between 3-5 million Muslims in the US, and around 16 million in the EU alone, I'm sure we would've felt it a bit more if Islam really had declared war on western civilisation.

I continue to pretend Christianity is the same, despite repeated attempts by you and many others to prove me wrong.

Ah the ever popular Christian/Muhammad comparisons. Only you seem happy to ignore the fact the Muhammad used force and violence to achieve his ends. Jesus did not. Perhaps this fundamental difference is why ME Muslims are so violently radical.

Ash,

Apparently you don't see the difference between Jesus preaching love and compassion and Muhammad using military prowess to dominate.

People are always going to kill in the name of this or that. What we're talking about here is the basis for these respective religions.

I don't give a **** about their religion, I give a **** about their actions. EVERYONE'S actions. They can base them off of whatever they want: crazy is as crazy does. For the record, I find you to be no different from a "radical Muslim," except that you haven't taken up killing people yet.

Smiley: lol

The basis of Christianity, essentially, is that there are no gods but the Christian god, and that Jesus is the son of god. (My own interpretation, but I don't think it's far off.)

The basis of Islam is that "None is rightfully worshipped except God (La ilaaha ‘ill-Allah), and Muhammad is the Messenger of God (Muhammad-ur-Rasool-ullah)." (Cite)

Not really much of a difference, and no mention of bloodshed in either. Nice try, though.

And this is how Islamic leaders want you to feel. Oh and by the way that's a pretty big exception.
