Well, read Ayaan Hirsi Ali, "Infidel", and you come away thinking its
high time we jerked their chain. Its kinda like the IRA, there were a
lotta good people in Boston who were sending money back to Ireland to
enable the IRA to carry on its charities... without thinking about how
much of that money was siphoned off for weapons and bombs.
And when that was explained, they quit sup****ting the IRA. Now, with
Islam its more complicated cause the oil money is siphoned off, and we
are not yet in a position to really cut that off. But I, for one, would
not belong to a religion that was such a useful tool of terrorism, Which
has been going on for centuries.
I dont think its that similar to the hatred of Jews. There was just the
one group that hated the Jews, and just the Christian nations that thot
they were exploited by the Jews. The Buddhists, Hindus, Con****ians,
Bhai, and a myriad of indigeneous tribal traditions didnt have any
problem with the Jews. But with Islam... all these other spiritual
traditions have been suffering Islamic terrorism, and have damn good
cause, as we see now going on in Darfur, to call a spade a spade.
