tollytee said:Of course not. I am aware of the Rock of the Dome in Jerusalem. I thought there was a temple or a black rock or something in Mecca that they worshipped.
tollytee said:As it is only a matter of time before the Islamics acquire and use a nuke, the US government should let it be known now that if such a device is detonated against any western country the consequences would be so severe they should think twice about using one. We should warn them in advance that if they nuke us in the name of their religion, we would retaliate by nuking every holy site they have. If they knew this was going to be the response in advance, they would not dare use a nuke.

Are You ?
Sycophant said:Yup. That would be the best way to ensure they attacked the US with a nuke or radioactive bomb.
Because the US dropping a tactical nuke on Mecca would be the biggest boost to membership that these terrorist organisations could hope for. Just about the whole Muslim world would join in against the US then. Fantastic.

UberLutheran said:I wasn't aware that rahma (being Muslim) was "an Islamic".
Should I let the guy who works across the aisle from me, who is a Muslim from Pakistan, know that he is "an Islamic"?
I know a lot of Muslims, and just about all of the Muslims I know really resent being lumped together with Al Queda as "Islamics".
I can relate. As a practicing Christian, I really resent being lumped together with radical Christian conservatives -- especially the James Dobson/Jerry Falwell/Pat Robertson kind who believe they have been given carte blanche to speak on my behalf.
By the way -- do you know who developed all those nuclear weapons; then engaged the Soviet Union in a massive nuclear arms race so the two countries developed tens of thousands of nuclear weapons; and when the Soviet Union fell, did not plan on a way to retrieve all those Soviet nuclear weapons (many of which have fallen into the hands of the Russian Mafia, who is only too happy to make some money even if it means blowing us all to Kingdom Come)?
I'll give you a hint. It wasn't "the Islamics".
We have allowed this problem to develop over a half century, and (true to Scripture) we are reaping what we have sewn.
tollytee said:I don't know what you or Rhama are and I challenge you to point to anything I said that would suggest otherwise.
We face two distinct enemies. Primarily, the Islamic fanatics, who's purpose is the annihalation of western culture and democratic principles, and secondarily, Muslims who do not proport to follow the hard line of the fanatics but do support their cause to one degree or another. Any other interpretation of my earlier comments is incorrect.

UberLutheran said:It's not a matter of being "politically correct" (I know how conservatives love using that terms when people disagree with something conservatives have said!).
As a practicing Christian, I do NOT like being lumped in with the ultra-nationalistic, ultra-conservative ideologues who have the audacity to believe they have the right to speak for ALL Christians.
I would not PRESUME to assume that all Muslims are "Islamists" who are hell-bent on blowing up the West with any and all means available to them. NONE of the Muslims I know are like that.
This falls under the very Christian precept of "treating others as we would have them treat us."
tollytee said:If you can't comprehend any of the simply points I make, that is your problem. I can not help that. You failed to meet my challenge to you in post #30 in this post. Nowhere in this thread or anywhere else did I 'lump' you or anyone together. I catagorically deny that I ever asserted all Muslims are Islamic fanatics, nor did I hint that such was true.
Respectfully
tollytee said:I agree that we would have to retaliate with nukes. Knowing who to strike would be the challenge. That's why I suggested Mecca or somewhere of equal importance to these terrorists. Isn't there some rock there or something that they worship? Are they willing to watch it be vaporized?
Look above. You just did.I catagorically deny that I ever asserted all Muslims are Islamic fanatics, nor did I hint that such was true.
tollytee said:I have denied your allegations and challenged you to substantiate them specifically so that I may be able to review that to which you object so that I might review and revise my remarks as I may see as reasonable. You continue to fail to cite any example of what you accuse me of and therefor, I respectfully submit to you that mischaracterizing and misrepresenting other people's posts and making unfounded accusations is not conducive to responsible, worthty discussion or debate.
