Stop demonizing one fifth of the world's population, jmfcst.

people are people and demons are demons - therefore, it's not the people who are demonic, it's their religion that is demonic

getting tired of this crap.  the Judeo-Christian USA has military presence in 130 countries.  has orchestrated the only large scale invasions of sovereign states in the past decade, both, of course, of predominantly Muslim countries.  your eschatological prejudice can't hold up to objective fact, doesn't try to, and, worst of all, is widespread and destructive.

Saddam had violated the cease-fire agreement on what, 14 counts?  (fyi...in the future if your don't agree with the terms of cease-fire agreements, then stick with the war plan)  And the Taliban was protecting someone who openly attacked us.  Now, I think what Bush was attempting to accomplish in both countries was exceedingly naive, considering that 1) they were both intolerant Muslim countries, and 2) had no experience with democracy and tolerance...but we still had every right to wipe them off the map.

If one were to highlight every instance of Jmfcst illustrating that he has no idea what decency entails, one would no doubt grow depressed really, really fast.

dates back to Winthop, not his fault.

Really?  There are hundreds of examples.  Edward I expulsion of the Jews, Ferdinand and Isabella's forced conversions and expulsions, pogroms throughout C. and Eastern Europe for 600 years.  Religious tolerance isn't exactly a western virtue.

well, forced conversions fits under my definition of theocracy...and Western persecution of the Jews doesn't have to involve Christianity, take Hitler for example.

someone of course will say here that 'Hitler was a Christian'

what matters isn't what he 'really believed' in private but rather whether Nazism fed off of Christian social and ideological currents.
