Well put.

Farhad,

Evangelicals are annoying, but Muslims are frightening.

Sorry, fear of death trumps fear of being shouted at.

I'm asking anyone who questions the USA's action: do you think your armed forces exist to harm you... or to protect you?

The armed forces exist to protect US interests. This doesn't mean that they always do that in effect. It also does not mean that they are making me safer.


As I said in my original post, lesserfool, the US is at war with people who don't wear a uniform. They are unidentifiable.

The conception of "war" must change. We aren't in WWI trenches with bayonets here, we're dealing with anonymous individuals operating in frequently independent cells. At times, extraordinary measures must be taken in order to gather information from detainees. Logically, it may be worth the risk to harm an innocent man than to permit the death of dozens of innocents.

Undoubtedly, some sadists have been put into circumstances when they have abused their authority, and they are not without accountability. Martial law is usually more severe than civilian.

Soldiers and those who have chosen a military volition are willing to sacrifice their lives for their country and for you. I return to my original question: do you trust that your military force is working for you, or against you?

What do forays into mathematics have to do with a cultural or religious rebirth? And what does religion have to do with science?

Does Islam take the merit for those contributions? If so, shall we attribute all scientific endeavour to the faith of the explorer?

Please ask yourself this last question in earnest.

It seems you may need to "think" about my words (and your own) longer, thinker247.

If Islam never had a Renaissance, then where did we get algebra and algorithms? Your ignorance hurts me.

The important distinction campionidelmondo is that this is 2008, and no-one is killing in the name of Christianity. The Crusades and Christian Emperialism ended quite some time ago.

The Muslim world's drive, however, is still fueled by the ideology of a 6th century sectarian battalion. Islam never had a Renaissance... never had the period of self-doubt and introspection that Europe went through... this may be in part because just question Koranic validity is punishable by death!

Cheers to jwray for going against the grain.
