Well, you could be right, maybe there are radical Muslims who have declared war against me personally, but I have not gotten the memo. And although I agree with you when you imply that I do not have the power to stop people from thinking that they are at war with me, I most certainly do have the power to decide whether I will be at war with them.. |
Go speak to a few and you'll get the memo I promise you. My solution was to educate and teach the children and to lead through compassion and not war. You can be at war with their ideology without being physical. We should be at war with their ideology but not through force.

Based upon the hypocrisy I see in this thread alone.

Because the leaders of the individual extremist groups announce it.

What also came to mind when I read your statement was how our judgment of Muslim extremists moved us to go to war with them, which resulted in the deaths of thousands of civilians, people who may not have been involved in any terrorist attacks whatsoever, in both Afghanistan and Iraq. Their judgment of us lead to thousands of innocent people dying, and in turn our judgment of them lead to thousands of innocent people dying. And this doesn't include, of course, the thousands of men and women in the Western armies who have pledged and given their own lives in service to their countries. Judgment seems to come with a high cost, in my view. |
Like I said we're at war whether you like it or not. You will either deal with it today or pay for it tomorrow. The best solution is not through war but through resolution over Palestine (if possible) and our own propoganda.
Honestly, your reactions would be different if we were talking about Christians bombing abortion clinincs.... You wouldn't ask "How I know this" or "speaking about our police action against them" or "questioning in general". I've made my point that its un PC to speak out against muslim fundamentalists; that was my only goal.
