The faster we realize that we are being used as pawns in a game, the more quickly we can remove power from those who are pulling the puppet strings.
The West reacts with offense and indignation, and we find ourselves gleefully chanting for war.
There is a historical and traditional connection between Christianity and Islam. The two faiths share a common origin in the Middle East.[2] Muslims consider Christians as the People of the Book. From a Muslim standpoint, belief in the Injil (the original Gospel of Jesus) is an important part of Islamic theology, although Muslims view the current Gospels as corrupted. The bond extends even further with the Islamic Prophet Muhammad instructing Muslims to defend the Christian faith from aggressors in certain circumstances after treaties of peace have been signed, such as in the document called the Achtiname of Muhammad.

The backlash is already fomenting and the eye for an eye mentality is already beginning to groundswell. Just read a few threads here and you'll see the warmongering.
I'm no hippie or peace activist. It's time to stop the madness and stop waging war for profit. My country is not the muscle arm of any corporation and it's time we let our leaders know that we are not stupid, easily controlled, or apathetic.
I fight for the right reasons - not because some folks with agendas want to push my buttons for their own benefits.
My anger, BTW, is not directed at you. I'm just fed up with what I'm seeing in the world lately and am speaking my mind.
