The problem with that statement is that only one nation is actually waging wars. The other side is fighting back.
You are such a guinea pig. Seriously, your arrogance knows no bounds. Rarely do I come by people as preposterously arrogant as you.
You use impressive language but for such stupid and ignorant things.
If you want to be taken seriously, expand your knowledge beyond your comfort zone 'blame america' literature.
It'll be for your good.
The constitution clearly warns about any infringement of any religion
Have you ever in your entire life read a book of theology? or philosophy??
I feel like you lack the maturity to understand something like: Islamic theologians (it's religious thinkers) like Ibn Hanbal, Al Ashari and Al
Ghazali, have developed a core literature about which Sunni Islam functions. This literature develops the official Sunni theological doctrine of
Allahs nature. Al Ghazali describes Allah as powerful - the dissenting view had Allah as being identified with reason. The difference is this: if
Allah is reason, than Allah would be
limited in his ability to act freely; to bind Allah to reason is to deny Allahs pure free will. This was
inconceivable, when the Quran describes a God who is completely omnipotent, beyond the comprehension of man's conscious mind. So, it was this doctrine
of power that was developed. God IS WILL (which transcends all thought), therefore, the only way to live according to Gods will is to follow the
directives given in his Holy Quran. The extraction of this juridical info was the province of Islams theologians. In line with Al Ghazalis fundamental
idea: of God as Will, they are able to deduce from the text prescriptions for daily actions; this is called "Shari'a".
Now Shari'a provides 5 rules for every action; every action is either an: Obligation (fardh) Recommendation (mustahabb) Permissibility (mubah)
Disrecommendation (makrooh) or Prohibition (haraam)
That's how Shari'a abiding Muslims live.
Problem is, this makes them essentially incapable of forming moral decisions using reason alone; if morality ends up corresponding to action, it is a
mere happenstance, as all actions are predicated on the theological doctrine of God as Will. Human beings live rightly by
imitating God.
Therefore, Orthodox Sunni Muslims follow a metaphysical doctrine that makes lifes daily experiences spiced by a mystical connection with God's
'essential will'.
This is why Men overpower women in Islam; God is the actor - the Masculine. Man is the submissive female (Islam - the religion of mankind, means
'submission'). And this is why Islam separates the world into two categories; one which expresses apart of the world that has submitted to Allah; and
another part that is at war with Allah. The basis of this viewpoint is in the fact that in Islam, all of us are mere 'actors' of Gods Will; we don't
really exist, and our purpose in life is to come into submission to Allahs Will. Therefore, if you resist the word of Islam, the message of the
Prophet Mohammad to all mankind, you are at war with God.
This is all undeniable.
You have something terribly wrong your thinking if you cannot understand this. Do not be stubborn.
