All you have to do is look at the messages Bin Laden and other radical Islamists use to whip up their followers for their jihad. Look at the pronouncements Bin Laden makes periodically, and his rationalizations for 9/11. They are always centered on our occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan, not some vague anti-Christian feeling.

As usual, reality is much more complicated than what you might see on the news. It's not simply a Muslim vs. Christian thing.

As far as "Allah requiring that you be killed" if you convert, and I know this is a dead horse that has been beaten many times on this board, but I'll say it again: you are expressing one radical interpretation of the Qu'ran. If you can say that as a blanket statement about Muslims, you have NO basis to refute the posters from Westboro Church that say "Thank God for Dead Soldiers". None.
I don't get it........

How about you go to ANY Muslim country and try to build a church. How about Saudi, how about IRAQ, how about IRAN, and see how you're treated.

You are full of CRAP if you don't believe the RADICAL FACTIONS of Islam don't hate us. Go ahead, take a bible business to any of those countries, and try to sell them. I hope you have an IRON CLAD NECK.......

Get your head out of the sand. They have ALWAYS hated us.

And as I said about this particular group.......they are RADICAL.....not all Muslims are RADICAL but some are.

As for the westboro folks...they are RADICAL Christians, and I feel the same way....they are FILLED WITH HATE due to some twisted view of their religion........I'm just glad they don't seem to be violent..........yet.

Later,
