I'm worried more about militant religion in general, not just Islam. If it isn't for the 'war on terror' it's for the salvation of our souls...

The biggest threat is increasing government.

I regard Political Correctness as being a direct analogue of the Witch Hunts and Heresy trials that swept Europe and America in the 16th Century and shut down nearly all social, scientific and philosophical discussion and progress.

Although the vast majority could see that the Witch Hunts and Heresy charges were riduculous, they went along with the show as they were too afraid to say 'NO'! for fear of being branded as Witches and Heretics too.... the same tactics as the PC brigade use to stifle dissent when they say 'White is Black' today.

The biggest enemy of Political Correctness is the US Constitution. Uniquely in the West, it guarantees the right to free speech and that is why they (the Liberals), hate the US so much. Only in the US can right thinking people stand up and show the 'Emperor has no clothes' without fear of a change in the law to silence them.

No, like it or not, there are muslims out there outraged at the attacks. I may get flamed for this, but AQ did it, based on one SECT of muslim beliefs. Like Christianity there are different sects of Islam. Sunni's and Shi'ites. Sunnis are typical of the militant type that hate us and form most of the Taliban and AQ. Shi'ites are to some extent a persecuted people even in their native lands. Oddly enough the Sunni's are considered the conservatives and Shi'ites are the liberals. Liberal to them though is still more conservative than our version of being conservative is to us.

Sunnis typically hate all Muslims other than sunnis. They especially despise American muslims. The U.S. will never do anything that can in any shape form or fashion be credibly called a "war on islam" it would be assinine. Now wow we can expect stupidity of that magnitude out of liberals we can bet that even they won't single out a single group, other than republicans, for anything other than special privleges. I may be young, and talk a lot of shit, but poly sci is NOT a subject anyone wants to enter into with me lightly.

Apparently you know very little about islam. THEY (islam) are at war with US (you and me). Most people fail to accept that FACT (apparently you are one of them). At some point (hopefully) maybe VERY late in the game (hopefully not too late) we will come to that conclusion.

Most of the Muslims in the US may be, but all of the ones I know from overseas are apathetic at bes t regarding 9/11. I hang out with a lot of Muslims, mainly because most of the people in my Biology and Chemistry classes are Arab or Pakistani.

I may get flamed for this, but AQ did it, based on one SECT of muslim beliefs.

No, a lot of people are in Al-Qaeda, across boundaries of religious sects. A clear majority of the leadership is Salafi, a subset of Sunni Islam, but there are Shi`a Muslims in AQ.

Like Christianity there are different sects of Islam. Sunni's and Shi'ites. Sunnis are typical of the militant type that hate us and form most of the Taliban and AQ.

nope, most Muslims, Sunni and Shi`a, could not give a crap, negatively or positively, about non-Muslims anymore.

EDIT: outside of our current actions in the Middle East, that is.

Shi'ites are to some extent a persecuted people even in their native lands.

And, judging by the danger Iran poses, Shi`a should be persecuted.

Oddly enough the Sunni's are considered the conservatives and Shi'ites are the liberals.

no, they are not. All the Shi`a believe that is different from Sunni Islam is that `Ali was the rightful successor to Muhammad, and that the Hadiith may be invalid. They both still believe in the literal interpretation of the Qur'an, and in fact, literal interpretation is a de facto standard to be considered Muslim by any Muslim.

Liberal to them though is still more conservative than our version of being conservative is to us.

Nah, it does overlap a bit.

Sunnis typically hate all Muslims other than sunnis.

yes, they believe Shi`a and Sufi are going astray.

They especially despise American muslims.

nope, almost 100% of US Muslims are Sunni. You are talking about Salafi. Salafi are a sect of Sunni Islam that hates all other sects of Sunni Islam and Shi`a.

The U.S. will never do anything that can in any shape form or fashion be credibly called a "war on islam" it would be assinine.

Learn more about Islam then before you talk about it

.

Even though my family consists of Catholics and Baptists/Methodists, I have spent a majority of my time studying religions studying Islam, as it just has a more interesting history, IMO.

I am quite sure of that.

I know little about the people (Muslims). However, I have spent some time reading and understanding the relevant portions (to me) of the Qur’an. I know EXACTLY what I need to and it's VERY VERY clear. There is no mistaking it.

Just like it is very clear that the Bible supports baby-murdering(see Samuel's commands to Saul) and genocide(Jews vs. Canaanites et. al). The point is that in a wrong context, either the Bible or the Qur'an will appear very evil and barbaric. Only through commentary by leaders in Biblical and Qur'anic research can you piece together things even somewhat decently.

You're stretching it a bit but thats not the issue nor is it in dispute. The Qur’an is FILLED with hate. Verse after verse promotes terror and murder. Even the most liberal person could not conclude this is the will of GOD. The whole book is a farce.

The ONLY thing to be concerned with is islam is intent on killing us or forcing us to submit to islam.
The book is a sham. for the people who have not had a look at it read it and make up your own mind.
You will likely come to the the same conclusion.
