Paperclip, you'd know something about twisting stories to fit an agenda, wouldn't you?
BTW, (from your avatar) did you have to put down your AK-47 to type your post or can you do both at the same time?

The Christian view of martyrdom is to die under persecution for one's religious views, while the radical Islamic view is one who dies by blowing himself up and taking out as many infidels as possible.
I think they're quite different.
Did Washington tell the Iranian government to forbid/disqualify nearly one thousand possible candidates before the elections?

Did you forget to mention the 40,000 strong corps of martyrs that have been recruited?

And given the track record of Islam the last 500 years would cause many to be alarmed by what this Iranian president is asserting.
Btw, is the religion of Islam freely allowed to be worshipped in the West?
Is the religion of Christianity freely allowed to be worshipped in Arab countries, for example Saudi Arabia, etc.?
I rest my case.

Now how does that rest your case?
So he says Islam will spread, its only an idea at the end of the day, and a good one at that.

If his intentions were merely to spread the "idea" of Islam, then he would not have created nor sanctioned those "martyrdom brigades," correct?
And yet, you likewise sanction the spread of "an idea" while stating that if Bush or the Pope had said that "Christinaity will conquer the world," you had issue with that, correct?
My point was that the brand of Islam that is going to be spread is NOT the real Islam nor its "ideas." It is a twisted version. You still think that "idea" is "a good one at that"?

Again, Islam strictly forbids one of faith from committing suicide, and strictly forbids the use of suicide bombings
lol wheres the relevance in that? that's just asking for a 'parralel' example.
Will he lead by example and be the first to detonate himself on the way to martyrdom?
