Hello John,

>JH>Giving them credibility isn't going to help any either.  Islam, by
>JH>its very nature, will never assimilate itself into the world
>JH>pantheon of religions.  It is not tolerant of other's beliefs, and
>JH>will only allow them to live if they submit themselves as
>JH>inferiors to Islam.  Like I

>AH>Christianity was the same way - intolerant of other beliefs, and
>AH>followers were willing to kill those who believed differently.  As
>AH>I said, Christianity has grown up, and, while still teaching that
>AH>Jesus is the only way, is no longer killing or mistreating those
>AH>who believe differently.

JH>I don't agree that Christ. is the same way.  You can't the wars between
JH>Protestants and Catholics, any more than you can count wars between islamic
JH>factions like Sunni and Shiite.  If you compare the history of both religion
JH>the amount of time Christ. spent warring against other religions is very sho
JH>compared to that of Islam.  The real thing that defines the two, however, is
JH>the fact that the christian religion does not preach that you murder
JH>non-believers as a matter of course.  That automatically puts it way ahead o
JH>Islam in terms of maturity and sophistication.

Yeah, right.  Christians and the Crusades.  Muslims and 9-11.
No real difference.

>JH>I won't pretend that we can eliminate Islam, but we sure as hell
>JH>shouldn't be playing games with them either.  We should
>JH>exterminate every single one of them we find under arms and do it
>JH>with extreme prejudice.  Because that's all they understand.

>AH>I believe that's our intent in the current wars.  We certainly
>AH>aren't trying to negotiate with the Islamists, nor should we.  As
>AH>you say, they only understand force.

>AH>Which does bring up the question of why it is demanded that Israel
>AH>negotiate with people who seek to destroy it.  Even our current
>AH>leadership insists on it.

JH>That's dead wrong, too, far as I'm concerned.  I have always supported the i
JH>that Israel has the right to defend itself in whatever manner it deems
JH>necessary - right up to and including the use of nuclear weapons.

Nuking Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip is a bit of
overkill, isn't it?  I mean, Palestinian children armed with rocks
against Jews armed with nuclear weapons...
