#3 Paul, because we have turned the other cheek.
But, this too will pass.

#4 Have you guys ever wondered how come the christians are still there in Iraq today? If Islam warranted hatred of other religions, many christian communities around the world would be wiped out by now. Its the west that is scared of tolerance because it infringes on its own harsh views on society. Hell, in the US you can go overseas and kill hundreds of muslims but back home you cant even buy a beer if under 21! They killed the christians out of hatred towards the US, so its actually the US that is indirectly to blame for their deaths...

#7 Interesting logic, antimullah. Anger justifies murder. Ok, so if you piss me off and I KILL you - then the murder is YOUR fault, right?

Ok, glad that's cleared up - idiot.

#8 They killed the christians out of hatred towards the US, so its actually the US that is indirectly to blame for their deaths...

And this explains the way that Muslims have been killing Christians for hundreds of years before America was even discovered, exactly how?

Your logic sucketh mightily.

#10 Yes, but many Christian communities have been wiped out by the Ummah, my dear Mr. antimullah. The entire Roman empire was Christian in the 4th and 5th centuries A.D., and there were plenty of Christian communities well beyond, in Arabia and Persia. But as the Muslims conquered, they offered the natives the choice of Islam or the sword... and many ancient peoples were erased when they refused to convert: in the Byzantine empire were Christians and Jews; in the Persian empire those, the fire-worshipping Zoroastrians whose rituals are still preserved in Iranian fire jumping at their New Year, and Buddhists; in northern India the Buddhists, the Hindus, and the Parsees. Where once their worshippers had numbered in the millions and hundreds of millions, they were reduced to thousands... and the Muslims build mosques and palaces over the piled bones. Those that were permitted to live had to pay jizya, an extra tax every year to continue refusing to convert... a tax non-Muslims continue to be required to pay to this day, in Muslim countries.

As for why they are still there, my dear Mr. antimullah, mostly they aren't. Historically, 20% of Palestinian Arabs were Christian; in the Palestinian Territories that has fallen to under 5%, because most have emigrated to the U.S. Historically, a little over half of the Lebanese Arabs were Christian; a great many of them have emigrated, too, to the U.S. and Europe. The Christians of Africa have been moving to Europe, and make much better future citizens than the Muslims who preceded them there. Since the fall of Saddam Hussein the Iraqi Christians have been able to escape, and so they have in droves; I think the Christian population is about one third of what it was before. In Pakistan, Christian places of worship are destroyed, and Christians are accused of blasphemy as an excuse for murder and rapine. In Saudi Arabia those Christians caught so much as worshipping privately in their own homes are arrested by the Muttawa police and can have their heads cut off. In Indonesia the secular courts just ruled that Sharia law also covers those who convert from Islam, and Sharia law prescribes death for apostates.

Muslims were killing Christians for a thousand years before the United States of America existed, so someone with an IQ greater than that of a mushroom might be excused for assuming that it wasn't America's existence that set the Muslims off on their killing spree.

Oh, and while those under the age of 21 might not be able to purchase alcoholic beverages in the US, there is no law preventing me giving one to a guest in my own home. It quite undermines your argument when you show such abysmal ignorance on every single subject you address, my dear Mr. antimullah. I suggest you reread your schoolbooks, and perhaps come back when you actually know more about your subject than do little American suburban housewives.

#12 As minority groups are liquidated in the Muslim tyrannies, we continue to import the liquidators. Not only that, we cater to the Muslim minority. The State Department has even attacked European governments for placing garment restrictions on the liquidators. The right wing bloggers were all over the President last week, after he pledged negotiations with Iran, omitted to mention that his generals couldn't report much progress in the Surge, and joined the liberal immigration and aid-waste circus. The President doesn't have to worry about re-election. But fellow Republicans have to defend a quasi liberal agenda, then voters will have no real choice. Hopefully, the President won't coast into retirement with policies that won't offend the Dems, and he will support a right wing agenda with an alliance with anti-cleric Iranians. Hopefully, GWB will be the last US President to order troops to patrol hostile urban environments.

#13 Its the west that is scared of tolerance because it infringes on its own harsh views on society.

It's so nice when the universities let out their 'special people' for fresh air and computer access...
