My friend, get off your xbox, go and do some research, preferably on ATS.
You are way off. I have a Playstation 3, not an Xbox.....
My apologies!!
You obviously missed my point.
Please enlighten me.
Also, since you like history lessons fundamentalism has been around even before the Crusades my friend.
I'm sure it has, but since Islam has only been around since the 600's and the crusades started in the 11th century, most of the early fundamentalism
was within the Muslim world, so my point still stands.
Your obvious hatred for a few political figures permeates in your posts.
Not hatred, I'm not keen on any politicians really, but my biggest bugbears are wars and conflict. I'm sorry, under that lot we had plenty of
both.
You say if the Western Civilization would just leave them alone they would go away?
yeah I knew that would come back to haunt me, it's 3:30 and I was too lazy to edit it out. Forgive me and please read "if we stopped bombing
Muslims, they may stop bombing us".
I highly doubt that. Give me some good examples of others who vow to behead entire families and organizations for people even drawing a
picture of Muhammad. Yeah, I'm truly convinced that's a byproduct of Western Culture.
I agree, the reactions of some Muslims can be disproportionate, there are some filled with a mindset that is incompatible with ours. However I ask
you, how many of these situation are contrived. I had a friend who lived in Karachi (while I lived in India in the 90's), and he witnessed men going
around with wads of money, paying protesters against Indian aggression, handing money to those jumping around screaming and stomping on whatever
effigy they were burning at the time. Not everything is as it seems.
Sorry if I was rude by the way, it's late and my manners are asleep I think.
