The third jihad. The true face of Islam

I think extremists are just being true to their religions commands and beliefs, everyone else is being a moderate, which imo isnt being true to their religion, which isnt necessarily a bad thing for the rest of us.

I think extremists are taking literally their religious commands and beliefs, everyone else is using common sense, which imo isn't being a sheeple to their religion, which is the best thing for ALL of us.

Have you read the Quran yourself?

Not front to back, but I have skimmed it and I do own a copy. The same can be said for the bible and the book of mormon. I own multiple copys of the bible. I have the cliff notes, "the bible for idiots" and the audio bible, both the king james version and new international.

And to counter all that nonsence, I have the colected writing of Fredric Niche' (or however thats spelled).

"and thus said zathura!" lol

Nope.... Few reasons, and I'll oversimplify for the sake of humor.

1. Iraq had brown people, brown people where flying planes into buildings, brown people bad.

2. We already had a bunch of stuff near Iraq.. so.. why not?

3. Saudi Arabia are our buddies, friendly brown people.

4. Iraq had no friends, and is on the other side of Iran (aka more bad brown people) which is next on our list of places to visit with the army.

Brown noser!

I went to Southeast Asia in 1965 and 1966 when anticommunist riots killed 500,000 people in Indonesia. I remember listening to Radio Peking complain about the massacre. I don't recall anyone suggesting at that time that religion played a part in the violence, but later historians, (Kenneth Young?) have suggested that much of the violence came from Muslim groups killing other Muslims as well as everybody else. One must wonder if any of the killing was justified as a defense of Islam.

Also, while some presidents of Indonesian have been Muslim, I think Sukarno must have been a Buddhist. His daughter, also a president of Indonesia, wrote her name in the Buddhist fashion.

"AMEN" to that my friend.....kudos......

Exactly.....you couldn't have said it any better!!!

I second that statement Bro.....
