Islamic fundamentalists did this...Islamic fundamentalists did that...blah, blah, blah. What about the flip-side to that coin? Check it out one day, and you'll see the beardy-weirdy face of Jesus looking back at you...
We hear biblical references in Bush's speeches all the time...."the crusade for freedom"..."God bless Amercia"..."I welcome faith to help solve the nation's deepest problems"..."The liberty we prize is not America's gift to the world, it is God's gift to humanity"...if you look it up, the back-catelogue is endless...
Do you not think by making Xianity a direct force behind America's 'War on Terror' half the globe is being alienated? It's no wonder that even temperate Muslims view the 'War on Terror' as a direct assult on their beliefs and their way of life.
Outside of the US, most people overtly recognise the ideological belief system behind the campaign as a Xian one. This is because nearly all other democratic nations have long given up the ridiculous linking of the Church and the State. I read a report in a newspaper the other day that well over half Amercians believe in the legitimacy of REAL 'angels'! The article went on to say that there was no data on what the percentage of Europeans thought as the question was deemed too ridiculous to merit a survey!
The majority of the Muslim nations under attack are poor, so their only response to what they see as a fully fledged 'war' is through diabolical acts of terrorism as they lack the capabilities in the most part to act in any other way.
We're not going to see an end to the covert terrorists attacks from the Muslim side, until we see a ceasing of the more cryptically covered Xian ones.
I find it disgusting that America believes it has a right to do this.
Want freedom? Got Jesus? OK...here you are.
What a joke.

spare yourselves a 7 page bash fest.. he posted this somewhere else..
in any case.. how does an american fundamental come to have a chinese name like Xian?
lol we knew what happened to the crusaders and Richard the lion heart 900 years ago!!! That time the Arabs were the peaceful people led by Saladin who was a very good person, but the Crusaders made the Arabs very angry.
This time its the other way around but they are similarties, but that was a different time.

Re: The Real Terror: The Rise of Xian Fundamentalism
Our Freedom means we have to accept Jesus? Is that what your saying? Lookie here:
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Yeah., I really have no idea what he was saying there. He may as well have said that all other naitons long ago started using cars where the US hasn't, it would make as much sense.

Doesnt every nation go about babbling how god is on their side and thats why they're gonna win?
Middle East - yup
Israel - yup
America - yup
china - yup (hence their name in chinese 'middle kingdom')
I dont see why we can single out america.. because its made more public than others?
Oooo...nice find! As for the term 'Xian'. Let me explain...'Xmas' = 'Christmas, so 'Xian' = 'Christian'...I'm a smart cookie. However, as for a 'bash fest' you are mistaken...If you can't handle a debate, then leave it alone.

maybe not so smart after all cause Xian is a city in China that was the capital city of the Qin dynasty. So since thats an actuall place thats what I forst thought off, reading your stuff it is pretty obvious that it is chrisitains you aim at. But xian for christians is more misleading than it is a clue
If it was 'pretty obvious' to you, then it should be 'pretty obvious' to other people too...The numerous references I made to Jesus, god and the church should help eliminate any misunderstanding...
Being pedantic about other people, is rather amusing when you, yourself, spell like a 10 year old. I highlighted the mistakes I'm referring to for you! You're welcome!

Unfortunately, debates hardly include bickering over petty spelling issues... however I can see where you're coming from with regards to these religious propagandas, but cannot see why you single out one group of people... as these kinds of 'mind control' I suppose, have been going on perhaps since war was created.
and when I tossed china in the mix I was referring to "Mother China" as their god (Nationalism anyone?).. thats fairly pseudo religious in my opinion since it requires zealous worship of various propaganda.
