Ok, first a reminder that I do swaps in exchange for linkage. If you can handle that, then swapping I will do. And if you confirm, Jachra, you apaprantly are happy with any of my characters. I'd probably do Orrick since I have plans with EE swaps. RA, you crazy girl. I am suprised you're not going ...

I would like to point out that when one stops following Buddhism - that is, rejecting the teachings as a terrorist would - one stops being a Buddhist no matter one's claims. The most important part is the conviction and dedication to the teachings. Not harming and preventing the harming of life is ...

I must also ask you to define 'half measure.' What sort of scale is it based on? What is it half of? Where does this half point lie? Is it set at giving them candy or perhaps at eating their children? Exaggeration used for emphasis, not seriousness. I find it rather difficult to evaluate a method so...

To quote Winston Churchhill, "For evil to win, good men just need to do nothing." There's rather a large difference between 'nothing' and 'wholesale slaughter, rapine, pillaging, salting of fields, and poisoning of wells.' Large differences imply a multitude of options. For example, the United Stat...

You might want to, you know, explain what you're talking about. Vagueness is a terrible way to make a point. Do you mean we should start bombing cities with nuclear weapons, or were you talking about nuclear bunker busters? Finally, I seriously doubt God will take a hand in just about any of this. H...

The composition of the Islamic world being under debate in another thread on this forum. Certitude seems a little premature at this juncture in time, but I'll leave that topic for there. Once again, no argument that radical terrorists are the problem, however A simulation on the effects of a bunker-...

I beg your pardon, I've already acknowledged the threat and existance of radical Islam. If I was unclear, feel free to assume this is a clarification. I am not a fool who believes the United States launched 9/11, nor am I one who believes efforts should not be taken to annhilate them. I have seen ab...

The 'Turn or Burn' philosophy that leads people to such acts is still prevalent among some of our Christian brethren, indeed. A small minority, thankfully (I agree with WanderWolf. I don't intend on going out and converting the heathens by the sword or executing them out of hand,) just as the radica...

"The ridiculous amount of violence committed in the name of this religion is staggering." (Note, this next part is only meant to balance.) Yes, funny how I was comparing radical Islam to medieval Christianity earlier...if I replaced 'this religion' with 'Christianity' it would be exactly the same. S...

They fear they and their families will be tortured and killed, you say. Just so. Why should they bend themselves over backwards for us, then? They have trouble enough surviving for themselves as it is in their miserable countries. They have to choose who to protect: Us or their families. Why would t...

Problem: Retaliation will come down on their heads. They know this, they wouldn't have their power and influence otherwise. So if they DO want to preserve themselves and, perhaps more importantly to them, their power ... Saddam Hussein sure wasn't going to die for his country, but in order to hide h...

Why, yes, the people I know and their families have been clean for the past fifty years, thank you for clearing that up. I'll judge them as decent people from their actions. You're judging the whole by the extreme few. Most people want to live in peace, the zealot fervor only comes up once in many, ...

The worst part about it is that you can't be sure they'll adhere to the self-preservationist attitude of the Soviet Union. The USSR would never drop nukes because they cared far too much for their own skins... Yet when you believe that you're doing the morally correct thing, that in the event of you...

Inequality is hardly unique to Islamic nations, all of which (unless I missed one, of course) are classed as developing. Developing nations have a historic tendency towards inequality, occasionally dating to or at least exacerbated by the assorted Imperialist eras (No, not a rant about Imperialism. ...

Islamic Radicalism (Better title than Earlier, certainly...)
Hrum, my topic appears to have turned into a flame war... Vast apologies, I had to leave that week and so left my query to the mercy of the wind. Which proved thoroughly merciless, from the looks of it. Although I am startled by the existance of people who think all Islam is evil..I'm sure my Persia...
