How do you spell "Dual Loyalist"? Tim needs to join the service and defend his borders. If that had been Al Jazeera and it was about Israel you’d be screaming like mad for Al Jazeera to be bombed.

US and Iran are the same kind: violent and ruled by an idiot. For the rest of the world though, Iran only talks of their idiocy, Americans put their idiocy to action.

Unless the "peace" you talk of is spelled "piece" as in pieces of bodies being blown up by Islamic terrorists. Sadly, my country suffers from a disease called Political Correctness. Therefore we have to pretend that all religions are good and peaceful and none is better than the other. Well, that's a bunch of poppycock! If Islam is a peaceful religion I am certainly not convinced. Ray, yes, Islam is a religion but it is anything other than peaceful!

Quoting Gandhi when asked about his opinion on the Western Civilization: "I think it's a good idea". Maybe it's just me, but "collateral damage" and "extraordinary rendition" is just as bad as hanging homosexuals with a crane. While I deplore and despair over the evils being committed in the name of Islam, sanctimonious holier-than-thou Judeo-Christian preacher-cum-whoremonger doesn't exactly appeal to my tastes, either.

He once said that the war on Christmas was going to make it impossible to display Christian symbols like Frosty the Snowman. However, his idiocy does not excuse his support for terrorism.

Been there, done that. Sort of. The response was that, to file a complaint, you must be a *country* in order to have any legal standing. A country rather than an individual would have to file a claim with the Hague. But this, of course, was of NO help whatsoever when Lebanon accused Israel of war crimes in the Lebanon war of 2006 for bombing so many civilians. It also depends upon *what* country you are.

That's pure invention. Your words and the behavior of the US is much closer to fascism. Islam is a religion, and the root word is "peace and submission to God," not to a dictator. The political ideology of fascism is completely incompatible with the faith, regardless of what you think. This is precisely how Hitler convinced his society to support him; first by mixing politics and relgion, second by taking advantage of people's limited knowledge, third by getting an unsuspecting nation to espouse the boogie man myth, and then going on a power grab and killing spree. Welcome to the Neo Third Reich. You are a willing full member.
