As I have stated numerous times, which I now again will reiterate, I don't mind Muslims as long as they don't mind me believing in what I believe in. What I do mind are Islamists who want to kill me for not being a Muslim!

As for our troops in Basra and Helmand, I also want them home as soon as possible. Why should more of my fine young fellow countrymen come home in body bags because the people, they have been placed there to protect, are killing them, because they don't want democracy in their countries?

these pages are occupied these days by war mongers. which is sad,
try to learn compassion, tolerance to accept different people and
not to put down other people who happen have different skin color, different
religion, or no religion at all.
( and no, "they started it", "they first", start from you)

I wonder how many innocent Muslims have died due to the 'Demonize Islam Campaign'...

They did it to the Jews, they did it to the Christians, and now they are doing it to the Muslims...

Kinda makes one wonder who the real demons are...

Not quite right Fuzzy. I don't know if you really don't get it, or are deliberately misstating it to inflame.

I extend to others the right to do as they please as long as they don't step on my rights and extend to me the same right to do as I please as long as I don't step on their rights. Those that refuse to grant this don't deserve freedom, but belong controlled so that they can not act to stop anyone's right to do with their life as they see fit. Their choice to meddle in others rights is permission to meddle in theirs. It isn't a matter of a religion but basic self derivable ethics.

What those rights are, are well stated in the Declaration of Independence and what a man should not do, is well stated in what was revealed to Moses.

I do consider dangerous any religion that gives it followers commands to convert others, even the religion of democracy. True religions do not need that for the beauty of their truth is there for all to see. If others chose not to look, that is for God to handle come their meeting with him.

As for the troops, why the H did we send them there knowing that the country did not want a democracy in the first place. That reminds me of a country in South East Asia were we sent troops on the same mission and failed. Failed for the same bad reading of intelligence reports too! Seems that is a lesson the USA still hasn't learned.

Once we verified there weren't any WMD we should have been home PDQ, if that is why we went in. We should have let the country erupt into open civil war. It would have been a spectacular lesson to the world as to how the practice of the Muslim religion there has been perverted. At least to those who are circumspect.

Personally I could care less what religion you follow, My problem isn't with Muslims who worship peacfully and respect others rights to do the same. My problem is with Extremist who want me dead because in their words I'm a non-believer and should be killed in some jihad.
My view of religion has been skewed pretty bad I'll admit to the point I think I'm going to start to worship George Carlin cause I'm fed up with people who feel the need to kill in Gods name.

At best, God can be viewed as nothing more than an uncaring incompetent father-figure

Religion has never really had a big problem with murder. Not really. More people have been killed in the name of God than for any other reason.
George Carlin

Religion easily has the greatest bullshit story ever told. Think about it. Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time! But He loves you. He loves you. He loves you and he needs money!

Well, at least you're not rounding us up and exterminating us like Hitler did... ;)

(Give me LIBERTY or give me DEATH! Being your personal SLAVE is not an option.)

Control is a fence to keep evil doers away.

I don't see any discrepancies between what I wrote and what I mean and what you wrote and what I perceive that you mean.

I watched an interview on tv the other night with a Muslim living here, an Egyptian born man, who stated the same. He is severely tired of those people who give his religion a bad name, he wanted to tell that the well integrated Muslims in the Danish society and in the Danish culture and traditions will not and can not be compared to or lumped with those who are subversive to our society through their conceptions of what Islam is. He basically said the same as you did in your post. He also want the troops drawn back from Iraq and Afghanistan.

And I am sure that my downstairs neighbors, who are Muslims, feel the same, I don't think they want to be lumped with those who are on a jihad. They are nice people and I speak with them when I meet them on the staircase. I usually greet them on the end of the Ramadan when they celebrate with their family and friends.

I think you don't know what a jihad means to those nice people downstairs.

My deepest respect to Jeffrey. He is a very clever guy. He does not answer directly and only in short sentences. Very clever!
