The right's dance with Islam
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/o...erspective-hed
"In May of that year, former presidential candidate Pat Buchanan wrote that on such issues as homosexuality, "conservative Americans have more in common with devout Muslims than with liberal Democrats." Chiding Bush for urging Muslims to embrace the modern American version of liberty and equality, Buchanan wrote, "Why not stand beside Islam, and against Hollywood and Hillary?"" interesting article ... how about giving a chance to muslims for proving "who they really ARE" instead of making huge and constantly effort to deny "who they are NOT" a better understanding of true islam would actually help drop radical islamists off .IMHO

If your religious leaders didn't encourage "Death to America" chants on a routine basis, that would be a start.

you watched the "declassified" documentary and you know what they have done to our country,religion and people , and those are just a very bit of what actually has happend . granted ,itsnot nice at all to yell at other country calling for death ,although you know who and what the motto's targets are ..but any way. fighting with islamic radicals is what iran has been doing for a long time ..and the fight has many battlefields 1)in seminaries 2)in universities and 3) in borders ! yet we are alone and accused of helping them . Taliban and al-qaeda hate shia and true islam as much as they hate america and americans..just in case you might want to know. i am not going to enter a tiresome marathon with any one in here ..becuase you accusing me and i accusing you ,itsnot going to pave any way to to reach out a solution.

I believe and hope that most moderate Muslims want to live in peace and be free. The goal of the west is peace as well, but we wont give up our freedom and way of life. So the peace will have to come after we win this war on terror. Why don't you tell me what the ultimate goal of radical islam is so I don't screw it up? I think it has something to do with destroying America and subjugating the planet to Islamic rule, but I could be wrong. |

My point is that the US is out there fighting the radical Muslims while the rest of Islam sits on it's hands and does nothing. If you want good PR for Muslims, it's up to you good folks.
