Our War is not against Terrorism

Foxfyre, Do you think it would be any easier to identify those fundamentalist muslims than the fundamentalist Christians?

It seems to me that if Islam is really a "religion of peace," there should be plenty of peaceful mullahs and imams and clerics willing to denounce Islamofascism and excommunicate those who practice it. But I won't hold my breath waiting for that to happen.

virtually all terrorist activity around the world is done by murderous thugs who happen to all be part of radical militant fundamentalist Islam.

We can easily identify fundamentalist Muslims ... its just that the people of the world would hit the ceiling if we started dropping bombs on their rallys.

that if Islam is really a "religion of peace," there should be plenty of peaceful mullahs and imams and clerics willing to denounce Islamofascism and excommunicate those who practice it. But I won't hold my breath waiting for that to happen.

There are two conclusions that I might draw from the fact that you see few moderate Muslims denouncing the fundamentalists:

* The moderates fear that if they "cross" the fundamentalists, there would be repercussions for them personally.

* The moderates really want the same things to happen as the fundamentalists.

So if you were in charge religious genocide would be the answer?

[If a gang in me neighborhood were to stand on the sidewalk outside my house chanting
"Death to Fedrals Family"
and periodically attacking members of my family, do you think I would be the tinyest bit out of line think they meant me ill and would I be the bad guy if I walked up to one of them and kicked one of their asses?

Not all terrorists are Muslim's.
Not all Muslim's are terrorists.
Is it really that hard to understand?

Our enemy is not terrorism. Our enemy is violent, Islamic fundamentalism.

So in the "war on terror", our enemies are NOT the terrorists!?!

We are fighting a "war on terror" against fundamentalist Muslims!?!

Odd.....

Islamic fundamentalists who sit inside their mosques and preach the nonviolent gospel of Islam to their followers are not our enemies.

Islamic fundamentalists who force school teachers to indoctrinate little children to hate Americans and Jews and all other non-Muslims are very definitely our enemies.

Al-Qaida is probably working on plans for major attacks on the United States and Europe, and it may be seeking weapons of mass destruction in its desire to inflict as many casualties as possible, the International Institute of Strategic Studies said in its annual survey of world affairs.

Osama bin Laden's network appears to be operating in more than 60 nations, often in concert with local allies, the study by the independent think tank said.

The United States is al-Qaida's prime target in a war it sees as a death struggle between civilizations, the report said. An al-Qaida leader has said 4 million Americans will have to be killed "as a prerequisite to any Islamic victory," the survey said.
