                    You speak in code, Michael--
                
                    To compare today's Islam with yesterday's Christianity is silly. Half a millenium ago Christianity had some serious issues relating to gratuitous violence and use of force to convert non-believers. Today we live in a modern world, and modern Christians (which I am not) no longer practice such barbarity; BUT modern Muslims do – not all, of course, but a large segment. Don't kid yourself for a moment that Islam is benign. 
  I know of only one Muslim organization that regularly speaks the language of peace, that regularly condems terrorism, and that supports the American effort to wipe out Islamofascism: The Free Muslims Coalition.
  If you really want to turn the Islamofascists into friends, please get to the front of the line so you con be their next victim, while I prepare to take them out in order to protect the rest of us.

                Can we preach peace and not violence?  How can we turn an enemy into a friend?

                    boy i don't know where to begin
                
                islam is violent.  -- Christianity is just as violent.  this is sort of like the pot calling the kettle black.  
  preemptive strikes -- when you know an attack is coming -- when was  that?  with Saddam Hussein? -- hardly.  I think he was a very  smart ruler -- knew who not to bother. -- knew it would be disastrous.  
  bush only wanted to take out Saddam to remove a threat to israel --  that's all -- to pave the way maybe for israel's present military  action?  
  what is see here is you writing in a vacuum -- making statements  without checking with people who know -- there about a half dozen  people involved with the Moslem religion on Blogit -- you could check  with them regarding Mohammedanism.  
  and the brand of  Mohammedanism you mention?  If I am  correct, that is a rogue faction, small in number and loud, and a  lovely target for Christians to brand as exemplarly of the Muslim  religion as a whole.  
  to use that as an example of Mohammedanism is sort of like using Jim Jones as an example of Christianity, isn't it?  
  I see plenty of propaganda here but not a whole hell of a lot of subtance.  
  and that's the problem with the issue.  
  it will only get worse as long as both sides speak from a limited and uninformed point of view.
