Quote:

The root cause of 99%+ of terrorism today is Islam so the argument that we need to elminate the causes of terrorism to stop it are flawed from the start. Accepting the premise that there are "reasons" these savages kill women and children is to excuse their actions when they do so. This flawed reasoning plays into the hands of those who forsee the USA living under Shira(sp?) law.

We cannot kill all terrorists, but we can and should destroy all who attack us and the governments that support them.



Agreed, the word Islam means submission. In the opinion of many, if not most Moslems it means submission of the entire world to the will of Allah as interpreted by the Imams. I’ve read much of the Koran, it clearly states that it is the duty of all Moslems to forcibly convert all of humanity to Islam. At the time of Mohammed Syria and present day Turkey were the most solidly Christian areas of the world. Jews had spread throughout the Middle East and Mediterranean and Zoroastrians were a thriving community in the old Persian empire. Within 100 years the Zoroastrians were wiped out, the Jews and Christians mostly killed, forcibly converted or reduced to Dhimmi status, compared to which most of the later pogroms of Europe were mild by comparison.

While many evil things have been done in the name of Christ, the words of Christ and his disciples cannot be used to justify them. The very words of the Koran ARE the inspiration for violence and CAN be used to directly justify the killing and enslavement of non Moslems.

The root cause of Middle Eastern violence is Islam. It teaches that the entire world must be made to submit. That any act that furthers Islam or hurts those who oppose the spread of Islam is justified. That all land brought under the rule of Islam is forever part of the sacred land of Islam, and that any area taken back by non Moslems is sacrilege.

If you don’t believe it, just read the Koran. Everything the Iranian clerics, Osama and the rest of the Jihadists say is true.

We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
