See my post on this point.

That's why I laugh when American try lecturing us about being blind to the danger
from Islam. Do you guys seriously think we'd ever let them get the upper hand ?

Graham

Upper hand? What does Europe plan to do about the exponents of
population growth, negative for the traditional population and
positive for Islamic immigrants?
So, you're worried about a hypothetical something in maybe 1000 yrs ?

Has it ever ocurred to you that most European Muslims don't want to live like backward
tribesppl ?

He's perfectly right.

The 'Natwest 3' were extradited to the USA from the UK for a supposed 'crime'
that doesn't even exist in UK law and that alleged 'crime' took place on UK

Tell me how many times the Bill of Rights says "people" and how many times it
says "citizens."
It says "the people", not the more global "people." And it does
recognize the concept of US citizenship. And in fact the constitution
originally recognized that slaves did not have full rights of regular
citizens, so there's plenty of precedent for allowing preferential
rights to citizens.

But US law certainly doesn't apply everywhere, and the US courts
recognize that. It's self-appointed "International Courts" which claim
global reach.

Yes, but you see, if he denigrates your point of view by labelling you as
someone that could never say anything good about the US, then he doesn't
have to take your point of view seriously and try to understand that perhaps
it might even be a valid point of view, that an intelligent person may be
capable of coming to through independent thought. It's the same thing the
Bush administration does by labelling everyone that disagrees with it a
"traitor" (under the *extremely* liberal interpretations that disagreeing
with your government is tantamount to aiding the enemy.) What they seem to
fail to understand is that the Constitution gives every US citizen is given
the *responsibility* to question its government *every single* day of their
lives. It really is sad that the Bush administration has seen fit to
legitimize this sort of anti-American behavior.

I saw Keith Olberman's broadcast on this issue.

I find it truly fantastic that the US Gov't has become such a cesspool of

What do you think?

_Radical_ Islam has shown no qualms whatsoever about dispatching other
*Muslims*, if it suits their ends. Well more than half of the victims of
the insurgency in Iraq have been Iraqi (presumably Muslim) citizens.
There is no entity known as radical Islam.

Graham, what John said is straight out of their Koran. Repeated
in many Surah, Ayah passages. For example;

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Surah 47, Ayah 4 When ye encounter the infidels, strike of their
heads till ye have made a great slaughter among them, and of the
rest make fast the fetters.

The Bible says contradictory things too.

What's contradictory about: "If you don't convert we'll cut off your
infidel head."?

There wasn't such thing as a coherent "Axis" in 1939-40. There were
three separate nations, pursuing separate goals, often in
non-coordinated fashion, at times even in a way which was detrimental
to the other Axis members goals.

Can you [or anyone] remind me why the Irish Republican terrorist
organisations received so much in the way of donations from concerned,
caring, American private citizens? I've never been all that sure myself.

I get of hearing this. They collected money in areas with high Irish
American population, and the average American heard nothing about it,
till the "TV news Exposé". If the average American had know about it
and had agreed with it, there would have been more than enough money
flowing into their coffers for them to have won. The ones who did
donate were people who came to the US to get away from the British, and
wanted to help those left behind, right or wrong.

So you're happy to admit to a desire to sponsor terrorism ?

What's that all about?

All he wrote, it seemed to me, was a narrative.

It was a clear acceptance that sponsoring terrorism may be acceptable.

Oh yes, those attempts to kill OBL were horrible. The Bush admins policy

No, not quite. True about the part of world domination, not about the
other one. Islam recognizes two categories of non-believers. One is
"polytheists" for whom, indeed, the accepted options are conversion or
death. The other is "Um al_Kitab", meaning "Nations of the Book",
which includes Christians and Jews. These may be allowed to live
without converting but only as "dhimmi" (you may check on this term).
Meaning, second class subjects, possessing the (limited) rights
granted them by their Muslim rulers, with the stipulation that said
rights may be withdrawn at the whim of the rulers.

Until such time as Muslims exist in sufficient numbers the point is utterly moot.
---
No, it's not.

What we're discussing is Islamic law and its ramifications, not the
number of Muslims required to overrun a non-Muslim society to the
point where you're given the choice to either convert or die.

But, more to the point, why do you feel the need to always poke your
nose into places where it doesn't belong? Just as an example, your
last post contributed nothing to the thread, and was an annoyance.

Are you capable of understanding that? If you are, then why do you
do it?

The glib answer is "Just like Bush." Look at how popular *he* is.

The honest answer is, I don't know. I have to admit I'm not familiar with
the workings of the Iranian government. What I do know of the situation
comes from the writings of several scholars of the Middle East, who, to a
man, say that Ahmadinejad is not popular with his constituency, and will be
gone presently if we don't stir the pot too much.
