Sadly the day is coming when all muslim lands will be destroyed. If they do not repent of their jihad, God will pronounce judgment upon all those who fight against his people. All the nations that rise up to conquer rape and pillage Israel in the last days will be destroyed. The Bible has a detailed prophecy of the nuclear destruction of Damascus as an example. Iran, Syria, Libya, Algeria and possibly Turkey and all their allies will be destroyed on that day. You can read about it in Zechariah 12 and Ezekiel 38-39.
It is rather tragic, but as prophesied in Genesis, Ishmael continues to behave like a wild ass, agitating all his neighbors. Here is another startling prophecy fulfilled by the children of Ishmael, the Arabs,
He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone's hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers."
If the Muslim would just come to his senses, burn his satanic Koran and turn to Jesus, he might find that abundant life and peace that currently eludes him. This is one context wherein burning a Koran, even publicly would be a good thing.

Deny ignorance. Mainstream media news are full of blatant propaganda lies.
I grow up in an orthodox Muslim family and the way we responded calmly to this latest public burning of Koran:
"Let them burn the Koran. Let God take the best actions."
That's all. End of story.

Comparing actions of the USA to that of Nazi Germany is laughable as neither have anything in common in this context.

I still believe we were within our rights for actions in afghanistan, as well as Iraq.

Coloring the United States as the evil of the world is a very ignorant viewpoint. Some people on here who are not from the United States have some very strong opinions, and that is fine. I do ask you though that you place yourself into our shoes at times and ask yourself the following:
If it were your country that was suppose to act as a Super Power and play the World Police, thereby making your country a very high target for extremists, terrorist, dictators etc that would have absolutely no qualms about selling items to these groups to hurt you and your citizens, exactly what steps would you take to defend yourself?

Islamic extremists is to Islam as the KKK is to Christianity.
All religions have their wingnut elements that beleive what they want, and nothing will change their mind. The Islamic faith does not prohibit other religions at all. What it does is prevents them from prosteltizing, or gaining new members by convert, and the extremist elemnts will grab on to whatever they can to justify their actions.
I suppose my reaction would depend on whether I had done anything to inflame and incite my neighbours since moving in to the area.
You try living in a house where your neighbours throw rocks into your proerty every day and see if you'd get annoyed. Gaza sends rockets every day!

Change the words Bible and Islamic for Koran and Christian and ST's comments would be given a half hour special on Fox news.
I am just stating what the Bible says concerning those Islamic nations we are currently in conflict with. They will all be destroyed.

I can't believe there are any religious members on a website that clearly states to deny ignorance.
I'm always surprised by people coming in saying "Oh, let God take care of it.", especially if they come from the middle east, I mean stand up for yourselves.
I really think religious members should be banned. This site is really not for them, they do want to THINK.

I think it is a comparison we should keep applying in the West as a reality check for a while to come. If Hitler thought preventive war was a good thing, while respected Amercian statesmen (like Ike) thought otherwise... chances are AH was siding with the wrong part of history.

Afghanistan? That depends whether you believe the government's official version of 911. I did for about a few hours - then, as soon as the "facts" started to surface, I grew suspicious.
Another thing, I lived near right-wing fanatical Christians in Virginia and I knew their mentality well. They WOULD lie for the sake of armageddon, and victory, as most Americans would not. So you can say I had a mistrust of Bush from the start - that is true. Because I know that kind of people - they are about as uncomplicated as Moslem terrorists... They tried to convert me for years.

Now this is the essence of our differences. We are not supposed to act as a superpower and play the World Police. We are supposed to be in a playpen with other nations and cultures. Better in many ways, but no King or Pope. No one entrusted us to be the Boss. Sorry.
And in many ways we are not, although modern America is truly exceptional in many ways - take our entertainment industry, our lead in computers and the very invention of the Internet. I could go on for pages. Do we need to spoil it with this World Policeman role? Well, I am not sure.

With a nation like North Korea, many nations might put their power together - they do present a problem to several people, one that everyone sees except they themselves. However, the world saw the Iraq question very differently. It could be about oil, it could be about Israel's unfounded insecurity, it could be about many different things. However, the connection GWB was trying to hammer in everybody's brain between 911 and Hussein would not satisfy a schoolboy. The truth is, this was a turning point in the perception of the US in the world. What is more, most of the world could see that since Reagan, we have had imperial ambitions. I am not an 'isolationist' as we learned in history, I am glad the US entered the war against Nazism, but imperial policies are tipping the balance way over to the other side.

Perhaps it is not a surprise that due to these "world police" roles, we generated more debt than any other nation on Earth, so our economy is pretty much shot.

Good observations. Although there are American Moslims as well, I knew one in 1986 already. And another one, a Black Moslem, was regularly giving me free cakes and health teas for years at a craft market where I worked. These people had stricter rules but they did not want to tell others what to do. They did not even proselytize much. They told me about their faith, and no, none of them wore chadors.

The elephant in the living room is this:
The neocons (an essentially antidemocratic force, started around the same time as Muslim extremism) needed a new enemy for their imperial plans after the collapse of the Soviets. In fact, many among the ranks of leading neocons or their families had suffered various inhumanities in Eastern Europe (Holocaust, Stalin etc.). This type of people could never get used to democracy, a multiparty system, constitutional republic, you name it. I personally knew many Soviet and Romanian immigrants - most yearned for an absolute power that would protect them against their enemies.
'The neocons developed a strategy to demonize Islam in think tanks - a policy you would have found a laughable fantasy in the D.C. of 1986, but one that was actually becoming a dominant force by 2003.
Now we have to live with the genie of our own creation...
I still have hopes. ATS gives me hope. And I respect differences and shades in opinion.
