Islam, a growing threat to the free world?

they will condemn it in public.

Ah, yes. But do they mean it?

By 'they' do you mean politicians?

If "yes', asked and answered.

THIS is true: A few years ago,our then Prime Minister, John Howard, was taken to task for breaking a campaign promise. (no,really).

Speaking slowly,as if to a rather dim child,the PM explained that the issue in question had not been a 'core promise'.What's rather scary is that people actually swallowed that explanation.

Um, no. I was answering Frodo who made the original comment about the majority of muslims.

If they do believe it they're kidding themselves.

[Minimalist]

All believers willingly kid themselves.

I would suggest that pointing to Palestine after 1948, Afghanistan after 2001, and Iraq after 2003 won't quite deliver an objective scientific analysis of the true muslim stance towards the west - that video is more about an occupied nation's reaction towards the misfortunes of their invaders, and their invaders' principal allies. Sad and very shocking, but understandable.

Christianity is a threat to the Mid-East as much as Islam is a threat to Christ countries. Two different forms of retardation will cause fighting. Perhaps WWIII this time around?

[Existentialist]

Not really. Christianity is a spent force in the west, and islam is a religion not a country. The needs of people in the Middle East for resources - land, energy, food and water - and the reaction of western capitalism to those needs are better predictors of war than religious allegiance.
