#21…Mr. Fusion….hey Dude, we own a medium sized ranch and we sure as hell aren’t going back to Mexico….we stole our land fair and square from the Indians, thank you very much.

Many religious conservatives are very far from violent, such as Quakers and Amish. Many religious conservatives will be found in monasteries or convents, devoting themselves totally to their beliefs.

I don’t see this as a bad thing, since Arab Islam is being used as a cover for violence, and the majority of worshipers under Arab Islam don’t feel a need to fight against it.

Why is the issue more complicated than that?

But the problematic component is the conservatism, not the religion.

Stick with me before you flame:

Are liberal Muslims forming radical groups? (no!) Are moderate Jews gun-ho on starting WWIII? (no!) Are liberal Hindus butchering Muslims? (no!) Are moderate Christians for nuking Iran? (no!)

No! It is only the CONSERVATIVE wings of religion that causing all the problems.

But take the religion otu of it. Secular conservatives are more likely to be militant, these days.

So, using logical deduction, you have to conclude that the troubling component is the CONSERVATISM, not the religion.

But I think the worst-of-the-worst is the evil nexus of conservatism and religion.

(I concede that this was not always the case. Decades-ago, there used to be left-wing bomb throwers, by they’ve pretty much faded away. Now most of the bomb throwers are conservatives.)

Nuke them before they nuke us. We have thousands of warhead sitting here, collecting dust. Maybe if you used one, the world wouldn’t think of us as pussies. Examples, the nut job leader of N Korea, a small little insignificant country telling us he will retaliate against us if we stop his missle test. Hello moron, one sub could reduce your whole country to ashes. Maybe we should, then others like him, Castro, Chaves, that kook in Iran and other third world assholes would shit their pants and mind their place in the world. We are the superpower, we should show that we are, Peace comes from strength, those that don’t believe that are doomed.

But, unless you Bill & Ted’s out there want to get into your time machine and kill Jesus and Muhammad, and all the witch doctors and wizards who proceeded them, this is the world you’ve got to deal with. Sitting there smugly in a drug-induced atheistic haze isn’t going to help anyone. We are in a war that has been going on since at least the eight century. And now the Sword of Islam has a thermonuclear tip. Whose side are your on, and what do you think we should do about it?

I can’t even read the American press, nor do I watch tv…Actually…all I do is look at blogs now. I can’t trust anthing. Tech journals are trying to sell gadgets that have a shelf life of 2 years give or tech. Journalists rely on the AP ( who is biased towards whomever is paying them for coverage ). History class in America is about the neocon / neo-conservative crusade over Islam…Ask a teacher ot teach anything else and they’ll come out to tell you, “Why…we won !”

In the end its all garbage. I read news reports like this and I am thinking several things. Who funded the report. Where was it published. Who published it. Do they sleep with 6 year old children while living in a van down by the river ??? Can this report be verified by 2 other sources. If so, by whom !

Moreso, why is Dvorak publishing stuff like this ? Is this something his son pulled up in reponse to a term paper ? Perhaps he is being paid by someone else to provide a counterpoint to all this press coverage lately. Who knows. Well actually, no one does. And there will come a time when I will never be able to read anything anyone has to say in fear of it being tainted propoganda of the state !!!

No God isn’t evil, but organized religion is. When man presumes to speak on Gods behalf, that is where the danger is. And its not confined to the Muslims. Christians are just as bad. The pope has no more insite into God then anyone else. He is just a man, plain and simple.

As to the muslim problem. I have said that Muslimism, especially, muslim fundmentalism is the greatest threat to the world in thousands of years.
