You’re right. When faced with overwhelming evidence, of the suicide murder of innocents and beheading of "hostages" the predictable cry from the Islam

‘Journalists from outside were able to visit places in Iraq where prisoners of Saddam Hussein’s regime had been held. When the Kurds captured Kirkuk, Gwynne Roberts described a visit: ‘ ‘The Kurds guided me into the pitch-black vaults of the security building used as a torture centre. In one cell pieces of human flesh -ear lobes -were nailed to the wall, and blood spattered the ceiling. A large metal fan hung from the ceiling and my guide told me prisoners were attached to the fan and beaten with clubs as they twirled. There were hooks in the ceiling used to suspend victims. A torture victim told me that prisoners were also crucified, nails driven through their hands into the wall. A favourite technique was to hang men from the hooks and attach a heavy weight to their testicles. ‘ ‘These reports were rightly front-page news, but that was partly because Saddam Hussein was the enemy in the Gulf War. The appalling nature of his regime was highly visible and the world was ready to listen to such accounts. For years Amnesty International and others had been reporting similar tortures in Iraq, with little resulting publicity. ‘ ‘And from Kuwait, soon after the Iraqis were driven out, came reports that it was the turn of Palestinians to be tortured. Victims of the new wave of torture were interviewed in Farwaniya Hospital. One Palestinian had half his body ‘1 was tortured with electrical shocks. I became paralysed. ..I was held by an intelligence unit. ..I do not know what is my destiny. I was captured only because I am a Palestinian. They threw me in this hospital. I want to get out of here…out of Kuwait…Please help me. ‘ One thing is clear from this. Cruelty infects the victims like a virus. It spreads itself, transmits itself through violence and anger aimed at the original perpetrator, you can become the perpetrator as well. Cruelty enhances domination. In domination there is safety. Saddam Hussein and others like him are perpetually concerned with personal safety, at the same time as they undermine it by greater and greater acts of cruelty.

Why would it be prudent ? If you assume that you are under attack then you are going to start behaving towards the west as if you WERE under attack and that is not the case. Western tolerance is a pretty fickle thing, over the last 50 years western europe and the US have become pretty peaceful and tolerant areas of the world, but if Islam decides that it is at war with the west then sooner or later an Islamic extremist will perform an atrocity that dwarfs 9/11. This would be a very bad thing for Islam, you’ve seen islamophobia grow hugely after 9/11, if Islamic terrorists destroy a western city and the people in the middle east all applaud then what do you think the west will do ? > Can you give any recent examples of religion winning when a war has been > fought against it ? > Holocaust.

Holocaust, I assume you mean WW2. This wasn’t a war against a religion this was a war against nazism. Utah ????? When ? I know american history fairly well and I’m pretty sure the Mormons have never faught any wars.. Iraq was UK/US destroying Saddam’s evil, a shiite takeover is not a given deal yet, they may end up with a lot more influence but not all power. > How recent is "recent"? Rome.

Um, it is prudent for Islam to assume it is under attack and adopt the appropriate defensive postures. That’s just plain logic. > I doubt if you could find one > source where the US states it is a war on Islam but there are hundreds in > which Muslims state it is a war on Islam.
Incorrect. There are "sources" on both sides with say it is a war on Islam. Unless you have a very elastic definition of "source" that changes its meaning when being applied to either the US or Muslims. > Unless, of course, you are saying > Islam is equivilent to terrorism then I would have to agree with your > position.

It’s at least two sided Jeff – as your rant indicates. So, as I say, it is prudent for Islam to assume it is under attack. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> > Can you give any recent examples of religion winning when a war has been > > fought against it ? > Holocaust.

I’m sorry but you are flat out incorrect. I doubt if you could find one source where the US states it is a war on Islam but there are hundreds in which Muslims state it is a war on Islam. Unless, of course, you are saying Islam is equivilent to terrorism then I would have to agree with your position. Granted, many Muslims may have a perception that there is a war against Islam but I believe that says a lot about Islamic thinking. David Koresh (the Waco, Texas debaucle) is an excellent example of the leader of a group creating paranoia among its adherents and having his followers believing. Perceptions can be confusing. Funny me when I view or hear about a group of people beheading someone while the perpetuators are yelling Allah Akbar, or that group takes the word Crusade to mean something other than an identifier, or when a suicide attack causes the deaths of children with the gleeful yells of Allah Akbar accompanied by dancing in the streets, the pursuit of known terrorist causes outrage from Islamic leaders from countries not even on that continent and you tell me it is not a one sided religious war. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> Can you give any recent examples of religion winning when a war has been > fought against it ? > Holocaust.

Some of the attack dogs in this newsgroup and neocon media seem to indicate that it is. Trying to mute this sort of message makes strategic sense, it gives you an advantage if the "enemy" doesn’t know you are attacking them, but it would be prudent for Islam to assume it is under attack given the rhetoric floating around. > Can you give any recent examples of religion winning when a war has been > fought against it ?

But the whole point is, it ISN’T a war on Islam !!! Can you give any recent examples of religion winning when a war has been fought against it ?

It speaks to the past success and future wisdom of waging war on things like desired drugs or religions. Beyond the strained equivalence of "religion is the opiate of the masses", making war on a religion usually means the religion wins. In other words, it is relevant to this thread because "if it truely WAS a war on Islam" then you would likely no longer exist. Certainly your way of life would be destroyed and your civilization corroded and weakened.

..And besides, if it truely WAS a war on Islam then Islam would no longer exist, simple as that.

Two office buildings get knocked down in Manhattan and suddenly it’s a war for Civilization. How does that differ from "an attack on one is an attack on the whole family"? …

I believe it was many, including religious figures, in the Muslim world who incorrectly declared the US attack on Afghanistan was a war against Islam that created the impression. The general lack of assistance from Islamic countries in apprehending the perpetrators of 9/11and seeming support (Palestinians dancing in the streets) did little to eliminate the impression that Islam is a all-for-one and one-for-all religion. Besides, if all your concept is that it was only two office buildings being knocked down then I suppose it is a deadend discussion. The enormity of the crime, using four airliners filled with innocent people, to advance one groups personal agenda is beyond belief even of a jaded America. It would have been far worse had all four jet liners accomplished their primary objective. Add this to the many previous attacks occurring for years against embassies and other innocent civilians with the sole intent of hurting non Muslim countries. You can disagree but the idea of a religious war is a one sided issue. For the most part, Americans and other Westerners could care less what your religious belief is. It is Muslims who can’t seem to understand or accept that life and goodness can occur under any other government than one under Islamic Law. > – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> …

Mafia is the right word too. Both the Mafia and Islam says "We can do anything we want to you but don’t dare touch us–An attack on one is an attack on the whole family" – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> Can’t take the truth?! > > Being chastised for torture, by a Muslim, is like the village idiot > > chastising Einstein for a math error. > > > An American Way of War: Torture, Rape, Murder > > > The photographs of US soldiers torturing Iraqi prisoners have become > symbols > > > of American conceit, American hypocrisy and American brutality.

The truth doesn’t bother me; it’s the gross hypocrisy. I believe another example would be a Mafia hit man expressing indignation about someone stealing a pack of gum.

Being chastised for torture, by a Muslim, is like the village idiot chastising Einstein for a math error.

i like the way that people like you continue to make such a big deal over these prison pictures but fail to condemn the weekly murders of innocent western civillians, like the bbc cameraman today. it stinks of racism, pure and simple.
