    Actually, you analyzed your own by reading only the first half. If you try that with Rob's, you miss the bit you're commenting on... FAIL! ;P

    I posted like that (i dont like ... i don't like...) so that I could emphasize a way to express an opinion without the personal attacks involved. And I skipped the second half of my own because it was my own rant on the soapbox, and wasn't directly relating to Rob's post. I suppose I should try again: I don't like vicious ad hominem attacks like that, and think they only inspire anger and hate, and why would you write that? If you are going to, at least be open to dialog with the people you disagree with. You can say it's pointless to try to be open to dialog w/ terrorists because they're not open, but then again, who ever tried? Ever since 9/11 it's all "we will not negotiate with terrorists" be it truly evil men or people who feel their way of life threatened in a non-trivial way. I don't think I should back down on this one.

      You should have actually read the report before you posted it, because as usual, you got it enteirely wrong. From the study: " Calling the efforts a war on terrorism raises public expectations — both in the United States and elsewhere — that there is a battlefield solution. It also tends to legitimize the terrorists’ view that they are conducting a jihad (holy war) against the United States and elevates them to the status of holy warriors. Terrorists should be perceived as criminals, not holy warriors." See, your buddies are really just common criminals, and should be imprisoned like any other. An the only excuse needed for dumping Islam into the rubbish bin of history is that it is a vile, homophobic, chauvinist, pack of lies promulgated by an intolerant and cruel pedophile.

          Used to be that no Christian could charge interest for any kind of loan. Then they saw how much money the Jews were making (Look up the House of Rothschild - the original Illuminati, just ask Zep)

            My characterization of Islam is not "politically correct", but it is nonetheless an accurate depiction of the beliefs advanced by Adnan and friends (and those same beliefs not loudly rejected by the more moderate faithful). Islam is a violent faith - one of the few that mandates the killing of those who reject its teachings. It is chauvinistic, teaching that women should be subjugated and are less worthy than men... It's founder and prophet was by most accounts a pedophile, and a violent man. Most practitioners of Islam rejects homosexuals, and persecute them with extreme violence and cruelty. All of these are mere facts for which you wish me to substitute politically correct obfuscation and double-speak. You are the one who propagates hate by pretending it does not exist. And no number of believers will make Islam any different as long as they and you maintain the pretense that it is other than what it is. You protect the real hater.

                        FSM is a parody religion. Created to mock Christianity and other religions. Christianity was not established to mock Judaism, but to fulfill it (according to Christ himself). I don't know anything about the FSM religion. Does it give people hope? Does it give them a way of redemption, justification, or salvation? YOU may say Christianity is a bunch of hooey because you have rejected it, those that have accepted Christ think otherwise.

                            worldReligions[7] = christianity;

                            If the U.S. wanted to get rid of Islam don't you think it would be banned in the U.S.? I have no idea why I wasted 5 minutes of my time writing this.

                                    "We" as if you represent entire nation? reality is something else. dont forget Bush started Crusade after 9/11 thus he was determined to crush Islam. I think you believe that only Americnas have live in advanced cities abnd have full knowledge while rest of the world is still in dark age.

                                      Alqaeda(if it exists) is a brain child of American Neocons. If you spend sometime in reading rather being and ignorant than it could make you a bit credible.

                                        Being a citizen of the U.S. with full voting rights I can safely say "we". Bush may have used the word "crusade" to describe the GWoT, but that is a common English word. "A grand concerted effort toward some purportedly worthy cause." I don't know if English is your native tongue, but American English has many many words with dual meanings. Bush was not referring to a "holy war" against Islam. I don't think I ever said anything about the advancement of other cultures.

                                          So lets see: America created Alqaeda so that it fights its own allies ( Turkey, Spain, UK, US, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait..) and create terror attacks around the world? Is that what they are teaching you in school son? oh yeah, its definely not what it is, some radical idiots interpretting Islam the way they want to gain power. Again, You are an idiot. Sorry could resist not mentioning that again.
