War, gore will do nothing but bind them together. That's why I criticize so much War on Iraq. Is doing no good. Is aiming at the wrong targets, Americans are striking Arabs but not Islam.
The fight on Islam must not pass trough killing Arabs or being unnecessarily reckless on them, but to show them there're other ways out of Islam or even on a (really) moderate Islam - I may say like what we have a lot here now is "non practicing Catholics" (I say this people is Agnostic...), we also need "non practicing Muslims" (luckily those are also grow on numbers, but unfortunately many have to still practice to not be hunt down) - that works better and lets them live with more freedom, prosperity and equality.
BTW. I don't know if you're aware of it but a pacific demonstration on Brussels scheduled to 9/11/2007 on memory of the victims of 9/11 was forbidden because it can be consider as offensive by muslims and the city county is not able to ensure the security of the demonstrators... You can now imagine how Europe is getting in troubles with those people. You're too far from Islam, just get residual immigration of such, but we're getting as a target of mass immigration from them.
EDIT: About the Crusades, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say you're idiot. But is a subject that really pisses me off, among my family there were Crusaders and I still feel need to respect the blood they spilled on the behalf of Europe. |
