Paul watches an hour of more of edited extracts about muslim
fundamentalists. He now hates their guts and wants to kill them all.
Aha, I was waiting for this reaction. I knew that someone would digest it
that way. Do you really think I'm that simple minded? I don't think you
have read what I said very carefully.
I am not saying "kill them all". I am saying kill everyone who stands in
front of a group of 20,000 impressionable, young, pissed-off men and says
"kill the infidel because they are infidel" quotes inciting scripture,
instills them with a faith in almighty Allah that they are doing his work,
and then goes about giving them weapons, training them to make bombs, and
pays their families when they carry out 'jihad'.
IF, and this is a big IF, there are people who run around and say these
things, and clearly, there are, because they were saying these things, and
HAVE been saying them for years, they need to be taken care. Omar asks the
question "how?" That is the problem. I'm not offering a solution. I don't
know the answer. If I knew, I would tell someone. I just don't see how
making friends with them will work. They don't want to be friends.
Seriously, if the US and the UK invades Iraq on false pretences, initiates
a civil war that kills up to a 100,000 people who wouldn't have died
otherwise, does that explain at least partically why a large number of
people in the muslim world hate the west?
It might explain why a bunch 'more' people who didn't previously. But how
do you explain those who already did?...
And how about BEFORE the previous 'hate-inciting' historical event?
How many would hate the west if Iraq hadn't been invaded? Less or more.
Should it be ANY?
