There is no entity called 'radical Islam'.

Just like there's no entity called 'white supremacists'.

Who exactly do you mean ?

The members of Islam who would have no qualms about relieving you of

Let me make this clearer.

What, you want _names_?

That would be a start. Something more coherent than 'radical islam' for

Too bad a simple concept is so hard for you to grasp when it's other
than American.

For example, I'm sure you'd have no problem with radical white
American supremacists. well, understanding the concept, that is.
I'm sure you'd have a very _big_ problem with them otherwise.
I would have no problem with the phrase used properly. Radical Islamic
extremists provide the thrust for the terrorist attacks which this thread is
about. Speaking of Radical Islamic extremists as a single coherent
organisation is wrong.

Same with White American Supremacists. I can only assume there are as many,
often disparate, groups as there are in the UK (lots). Islamic terrorist
organisations are often even more fragmented.

Sadly this is indicative of a certain mindset. Fortunately it is not one

Again, why should the government be involved in medical research?
Why *shouldn't* it ?


There is plenty of private money about.
Only for things that can make a fast buck.

That's why Governments need to be involved to do the stuff the *ought* to be

Oh, and there is also a Federal law that say in any recording of a phone
conversation, at least one of the parties to the conversation must be
aware of the recording.
IIRC, Federal law makes it a crime to disclose illegally obtained material.
So if you tap your calls to your married lover to get him to admit killing
his wife that gets thrown out in an all party state - except in Modesto CA.

What ought to be done? Why is government better able than the free
market (including the free market of getting donations to support
private research like that done by MDA, St. Judes, etc.)
There are a bunch of studies that show little correlation between
government funding and the number of people with the disease, costs of
care, impact on the economy, etc. Government health care bucks are
every bit as much as a pork barrel as the transportation bill.
Political in extreme and having nothing to do with what ought to be

"It" being radical Islam,

Radical Islam can't be described as having a "single unified goal."

---
I disagree. I think the single, unified goal would be the
acquisition of unlimited power.

Really? "Radical Islam" covers a variety of branches of Islam - which are
often at war with each other - yet you also think they have a unified
goal.
Interesting take.

---
I don't believe that their being at war with each other periodically
negates their collective desire to see the downfall of the west.
Aha, then you view all Christian nations as unified? We have a collective
desire to see the downfall of terrorism and we share a religion.

Which group would get the unlimited power and why would the others (Shi'a
vs
Sunni for example) allow them to have it?

---
In the end, as in any war, to the victor goes the spoils.
Which is why they are not a unified group.

How can a groups of organisations which have no single unified command or
structure have a single unified goal?

---
They all have the Koran, and the Koran advocates the vanquishing of
infidels. That's the single common goal. The rest of it is petty
in-squabbling for local acquisition of power.
Which is why they are not a unified group.

Some radical Islamic groups which operate as Terrorist organisations in
Asia have
no interest in Global conversion.

---
But they still want power.

Which nation, religious group, company (etc) doesnt?

---
They all do, and rightly so. The problem that arises, though, is
when any entity seeks power beyond its needs.
Interesting. Who determines its needs? Are the needs set for "today" or for
future possibilities?

Consider the human body; when in balance, a system where everything
in it is functioning for its own benefit as well as for the benefit
of the rest of the "team". But if any part of it starts getting
ideas about 'taking over', and puts those ideas into effect, then
the whole thing gets out of whack and we get sick. At that point,
it becomes the body's job to straighten out the offender and get
everything back on track. If it can't, it'll die.
Interesting and amusing analogy, but it implies all global nations work in
harmony for a single goal. They dont, and as a result who gets to decide if
a body part is out of whack?

Taking this analogy to its limits - the US is a cancer cell which refuses to
abide with the wishes of the other body parts (UN).



the goal, in my opinion, would be to
convert everyone to Islam and have them be subject to control by
Muslim jurists, the goal being total world domination by Islam.

Refusal to convert would result in death.

Ok. This is just your opinion though.

---
Well, no. The fate of infidels who fail to convert to Islam (not
just radical Islam either) is spelled out in the Koran and is
relegation to social insignificance, at best, for 'People of the
Book', and death for the rest of humanity.

Yet, as mentioned elsewhere, it is not as clear cut as this. Islamic
nations
tolerate Hindus for example.

---
Yes. It seems that nothing is ever really black and white. (Except,
perhaps, the statement that it seems that nothing is ever really
black and white. ;) )
Very true :)

Christianity does not tolerate unbelievers either. Papal bulls in the
tenth
century declared all non-Christians as subject to death on the whims of
their Christian lords.

---
I think, "Christianity used to not tolerate unbelievers either"
might be more accurate.
The interpretation of the book is all that has evolved. The hubris of man
means even devoutly religious people think the Word of God is fallible
enough that mere humans can redefine it. In the case of Christianity
believers have morphed from peace loving worshippers of a kind and
benevolent God, to violent, blood thirsty crusaders killing all that moved
and then on to the modern state of a mixture of tolerance and rhetoric.

What is to say Islam will not undergo the same metamorphosis? I mean, no one
tries to kill Cathars any more do they? (Side note: Has the pope ever
rescinded the Papal Bull regarding them?)

Just as with Christianity, there are differences in how people interpret
their "rulebook."

---
Mostly true, I think, except for one branch of Cristianity, Roman
Catholicism, where the buck stops at the pope's desk.
Even then, some Catholic priests think that while they are not allowed to
marry or masturbate, it is perfectly legitimate to bugger choir boys.

Every person has to be responsible for their own actions - claiming they are
"forced to do it" by a book is (IMHO) insanity.

An equally valid opinion would be to
say the US has global world domination as it's goal.
It is after all only an opinion.

---
I think the US's actions speak otherwise in that, clearly, we have
no aspirations to Empire. Had we chosen to we could have kept
Germany and Japan after we beat them, but we didn't.

I think otherwise. The US has no aspirations to an empire in the form of
the
Nineteenth century European ones, I agree. However the US wants to have as
many nations as possible under its sphere of influence. That is an Empire.

---
What we want is an economically competitive planet with all nations
at peace and capable of determining their own futures.
Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be everyone's goal.
Again, all we are doing is debating an opinion which is based on our life
experienced and assesment of what information is available to us.

As I see, the US operates a variety of anti-competetive practices which
ensure American companys get a head start in the race.

I should, at this point, hightlight the fact I do not see this as "wrong."
I do think Empires come in many forms. The US occupation of Iraq for
instance has not opened it to global commerce.

Fortunately, we're the cops.
Here we disagree.

Having said that, ultimately the police need to be answerable to the people
they police. The US is not answerable to anyone.

"Agreed. Finally abstinance is being taught and encouraged in American
schools. Things are actually starting to look up morally here, at least
where I live. Girls who "fool around" are really looked down upon and
