Well, in my early life we were constantly reminded to hate the Soviet Union. After that fell, we spent years wondering who we were supposed to hate, touching on Lybia, Iraq and Japan (during their economic bubble when they buying up US property.) Now that a small but determined group of non-governmental fringe nuts managed to pull off an attack on the US, it provided us with a whole region of the world to hate! And the government (or at least, parts of it) never for a moment wants us to forget to fear, fear, fear, be afraid at every possible moment!

On the bright side, another Pakistani cleric has declared jihad on suicide bombers:
Sheikh to Terrorists: Go to Hell A Pakistani cleric declares jihad on suicide bombers. And the story is just beginning. BY CHRISTIAN CARYL | APRIL 14, 2010 http://www.foreignpolicy.com/article...sts_go_to_hell "There was a need," says Qadri, "to address this issue authentically, with full authority, with all relevant Quranic authority -- so that [the terrorists] realize that whatever they've been taught is absolutely wrong and that they're going to hellfire. They're not going to have paradise, and they're not going to have 72 virgins in heaven. They're totally on the wrong side." Last edited by WT Sharpe; 04-21-2010 at 04:57 PM. |

When I read the initial quote about promiscuous women, I couldn't help but think that Jerry Falwell, (of "gays and lesbians caused 9/11" fame), had been reincarnated as a Muslim cleric.
Food for thought: Was the Icelandic earthquake cause by God punishing Iceland for their banking system? or did Thor miss a cloud with his hammer and hit a mountain? [/troll off] |

This discussion has stayed within the bounds of what I feel is fair play, for the most part. Disagreements have been aired, but name calling has not commenced. There are some marginal posts that seem to paint large groups of people with the same brush, but no one is rising to that particular bait. So, please continue to keep it between the signposts and we'll all get along.
Personally I am in favor of public displays of nudity. Male and female. We're all too hung up on being clothed. Well, not in Wisconsin in the winter. You just have to cover up or loose appendages at that time... |

It would seem that the Israelis have a long history of "stealing" land. Do you think the British, Moroccans, French, Soviets, Dutch, Spanish, Hawaiians, Americans, and all manner of other former or current “colonist” nations might have learned something from them? Oh yeah, I forgot about the most succesful "colonists" ever; the Mongols. As I recall, Genghis Khan didn't put up with any jihad! |

I must ask do you live in the US? Because honestly that is such a farce. News Media instills fear, not the Government. The only time fear was really used as a tool was after 9/11 really to get the war started. Last edited by rock; 04-21-2010 at 05:46 PM. |

I must answer, yes. And every politician of a certain pachydermical bent constantly and to this day pounds on how the politicians of a more equine nature should not be elected because they aren't sufficiently scared and lack the desired degree of rabid anger.
