    OK, after much thought and examination of what is going on in the world here is it is: Problem: Islam has many factions; some very extremist, bent on destruction, most, peaceful. But, how does one control the other? In a religion as distributed as Islam, how does a muslem in Birmingham control what a muslem in Indonesia does? Solution: A central muslem authority. Something like a pope, at the head of a centrally organised religion. As with the pope said head gets elected by the most eminent leaders. As an organisation, it has the ability to declare a rogue cleric as 'excomunicated' from the church, thefore outlawing him and all his teachings. This is the only way Islam is going to solve its problems. So, you muslems out there, whos got the ball sto start this going. Untill you do you will all be tarnished by the behaviour of the few.

      What's your solution? As much as I hate to give fat_boy credit, he is at least trying.

      ...in three parts: 1) Radical muslims keep killing each other and others. 2) All attempts to reduce #1 result only in encouragement for radical factions. 3) End of the World, as we know it and otherwise, with neither radical muslims nor their victims feeling fine. Actually, that's not so much a solution as a prediction of what will really happen... :rolleyes:

          The problem with any sort of discussion about a "solution", is that you need to have a well-defined problem first. Yeah, violent groups of muslims running around is a problem... but it's based on a whole slew of little problems: land disputes, law disputes, disaster, drought, oil, poverty, greed... Some of these might be solveable, some really aren't, but it is very, very doubtful that there is One Great Solution for all of them. Of course, you can always define the problem as "the world is very evil", and get back to my solution... ;)

Well like the Catholics do at least. But the point is that you can form a Christian Church and not abide by the Catholics rules. I think it needs to start in the schools where they teach these poor kids to blow themselves up. And kill innocent people. Should be arrested for child abuse.

            Yes, protestantism caused me to think on my statement. But, I think the difference is that protestantism, coming from the germanic area of europe, is the bastion of a different cultural attitude and mentality. To whit, one of abidance to the law and social responsability. Re 'start in the schools', a central authority would dictate what can, and cant be taught in the name of that religin, and would thus control this too. Nunc est bibendum

                The problem with engineers & programmers is that they think they can program anything including history, politics, society and religion.:doh: You can program computers and make machines but you can't program people or build cultures. Boy, I am just imagining millions of muslins fascinated by your fantastic "discover", anxious to implement it... Can't you see? You're just like the idiots in the White House thinking they can make nation building by imposing/forcing a external "solution" to a totally diferent culture/society. The solution to the problem with Islam begins with Islam and inside Islam, not in the Western countries, which should stay out of it. I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.

You just dont get it. When they start flying planes into buildings, they brought us into it. Try reading a little history pre-WWII. Look at Chamberlin and Churchill. Who was right?

Is that why 80% are glad the US freed them from a dictator? Every culture has a right to be free. Just because it is diffrent from your own does not mean that it is not smart enough to handle freedom.

It is our belief that Islamic terrorism will not be eliminated unless and until the ideology behind it is exposed and eradicated. This is what we intend to do. more info from ex-muslims available at FAITHFREEDOM[^] "As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy." Abraham Lincoln Thereupon I concluded: As I would not be a dhimmi, so I would not be a Muslim. Ali Sina the forums at the above 2 websites are full of interesting posts.... for current non-ex-muslims, here's a website, check out THEIR forums to see what they are saying, especially if you support the "lefties" and disagree with the "righties" posts here at CP MANIACMUSLIM[^] and after reading all this blather, then try to imagine why some people want to post ANONYMOUSLY about this stuff :confused: :confused:

                                      Oh my, oh my... You certainly made a great effort to not understand my "rebutal". My central argument is that you can't change culture, politics and people from the outside. Your quotation is just an appendix to what I wrote. My argument is like Marc Clifton said some messages bellow: And people is a problem that other people always try to fix but can't. Where did you learn to debate by doing this stupid old trick of confusing the small part for the whole? With french descontrutivist philosophers? I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.

You just dont get it. When they start flying planes into buildings, they brought us into it. Try reading a little history pre-WWII. Look at Chamberlin and Churchill. Who was right? Diego Moita wrote: Can't you see? You're just like the idiots in the White House thinking they can make nation building by imposing/forcing a external "solution" to a totally diferent culture/society. Is that why 80% are glad the US freed them from a dictator? Every culture has a right to be free. Just because it is diffrent from your own does not mean that it is not smart enough to handle freedom.

Look, I am not here to try to justify their insanity, stupidity or to hide the plain fact that they're the ones to blame for their own problems; but honestly there is a lot to discuss and criticize about the Western policy towards Arab countries. Oh, BTW, do we need to go back again to the subject "Afganistan, Saudi Arabia and Paquistan suported Al-Qaeda, but not Iraq"? kgaddy wrote: Is that why 80% are glad the US freed them from a dictator?

It is not about freedom. They're not countries. There are no arab countries, just tribes with flags. Their current geographical boundaries where drawn mostly by europeans.

Well if you read the reports, the one's doing the fighting are not the Iraqi people, but radicals from other countries. Diego Moita wrote: It is not about freedom. They're not countries.

Their current geographical boundaries where drawn mostly by europea Are you saying they do not even rise to the level of a country, but are just tribesmen? Are you saying they cannot even handel a border and act like a country? Why are you so down on Arabs?
