Funny, but wrong.

The cops from Rambo drew First Blood. Come on now, everyone should know that.

It started when they pulled the plug on Ninja Turtles.

So, it started with Monty Python, ", oh wonderful "

It all started "In The Begining."

First the Earth cooled, then the dinosaurs came, but they got fat and died and turned to oil. Then the Arabs came...

So some clarification is needed is it?

Where did the Terrorists come from?
what got them going to destroy the West?

When did it become America against Muslim?

How does The Muslim religion support terrorism?

How far back does it go?

Which terrorists? 9/11? They were mostly Saudis.
Western presence in the "Holy Land," and western cultural influence in the area are what has attracted the particular ire of Islamic extremism.
I don't think it ever was "America against Muslim." Islamic Fundamentalists are uniformly "against" any culture not conforming to thier ideals.
"The Muslim religion" does not support terrorism! First, there is no 1 Muslim religion just as there is no 1 Christian religion.
How far back? Since the time of Mohamed; all the religions in the area have consistantly tried to suplant every other belief system, it is imperative to the survival of the dogma to do so. It is precisely this ridged following of any belief system and hence, disaproval of any other, that creates hatred between people of differing races, religions, nationalities, etc.

It is all good and well to have an "Idea," but a "Belief" is a whole other animal; A rabid beast that should be euthanized.

If you haven't seen Airplane, demand it. It is the funniest movie EVER made. It makes fun of everything. Here's an equation for you, more laughs = less intollerance. See All in the Family. What we all need is more .

Agreed, try and keep things in context, not everything is said to a reaction from somebody.....and don't call me shirley.

Hey listen to billy J, "We didn't start the fire"

Red China
South Pacific
Bay of Pigs invasion
North Korea South Korea
Berlin Wall
Communist Russia
Nuclear Era/ Cold War
Budapest
KKK
Panama Invasion
The Alamo
Desert Storm
Iraq's invasion of Saudi Arabia
Terror on the Airlines can be traced back to 80's if not earlier

Vietnam (remember 2 libbies kept it going and the GOP leader put a stop to it)...
ANOTHER LIBERAL HYPOCRISY
THEY STARTED VIETNAM...

Tienaman Square



We didn't start the fire.
Though we didn't light it but we tried to fight it.
It will still burn on and on and on.

Since the Fundamentalists get their leadership from the teachings of their religion and it is the different religions in the area that are at the source -trying to supplant each other, is the true source of the current problem the original teachings from the religions that originated in the area?

I believe that the one underlying fundamental that causes the greatest friction is that of: "this is the one True God, all others are false Gods!"
It is this intolerance of any other religion, in effect saying that: "My religion is correct and your's is a pack of lies." How can this be anything but devisive?

"My religion is correct and your's is a pack of lies." How can this be anything but devisive?

Is there a similar belief in Christianity? Is it only these regional religions that have this intolerance built into them?

Is it fair to say that if a people's existance is dependant on not allowing others to exist; they should not be allowed to exist??
