Quite an interesting discussion that article I posted has generated.
Acheick, some of your posts here are quite political in nature, claiming for instance that Islam is not a religion but a theocracy (you're mixing apples and oranges here). Perhaps you should consult a dictionary, or better yet, take a comparative religion course because some of your statements about Islam are just preposterous. In this discussion you've also made the absurd claim that it is Muslims who engage in organized terrorism whereas Christian terrorists are unorganized lunatic "lone gunmen" so to speak. That is just political propaganda and I'm sorry you have swallowed that big lie. Muslims do not have a monopoly on terrorism. There are all kinds of Christian terrorist groups starting with the U.S. and British armies at the top, down to renegade army units and private cult-like militia in various countries all terrorizing their enemies, and innocent civilians in the process. Don't you know that murder, systematic torture and other human rights atrocities are also conducted by people who claim to be Christian, such as the leaders of the U.S. It all depends on your particular perspective as to who is considered a terrorist or not, but from within the U.S. it is extremely difficult to sort through all the war propaganda the war machine is feeding us. Don't believe me? Just go back and review all the dire warnings from people like Cheney and Rumsfeld and Bush of impending doom if America didn't invade Iraq. According to them millions of American lives were in imminent danger from Saddams's weapons of mass destruction. NOT. It was all lies intended to keep people in fear so their political masters could wage a war for oil in which most of the causalties have been innocent civilians. Sorry, but your attempt to paint all Muslims with the same brush and disparage them by denying that their religion is a religion at all is some of the most offensive stuff I've seen on these boards, but that's just my opinion.
