Reply #26: Hatred

[jobycom]

What difference do you see between your hatred here and the hatred you claim "they" show towards non-Muslims? What is your answer to the problems you see? Given that you bring up the war, and imply that you support at least the war in Afghanistan, I suppose your answer is the same as every other hate-filled racist group throughout history, from the Nazis to al-Queda. Kill them all, let God sort it out. Would that be a fair summary? (Certainly no less fair than your summary of my view). If not, what is your solution? Only kill a lot of them? Kill their leaders, convert them all?

How other nations train their children is not our business. They don't like the way we train ours, either. How women in oppressive cultures are treated is our business, but that oppression is hardly limited to, or based on, Islam. There are plenty of Hindu, Judaic and even Christian women who are treated as woefully. The difference is in our solution to the problem. We try more peaceful methods of convincing other peoples to provide human rights. We justify genocide towards Muslims-- kill them for their own good, they will thank us one day. The same argument was used to justify the slaughter of 20 million Native Americans.

Islam is not the problem. It is not even a problem. The problem is what we have done and are doing to other people, and how they are reacting to it. Regardless of their religion.

And you ask but don't ask what my solution to al-Queda would have been? Take them out, just as Clinton tried to do. Arrest them, stop them, increase our intelligence to fend them off, and WHEN THEY HAVE COMMITTED AN ACTUAL CRIME, take them out. My solution would not be to invade and enslave one of the most violated nations on earth simply because a criminal element lived within their midst. That would make no more sense nor be any more right than blowing up a school full of children because a bankrobber hid in it. That's morally what we have done there.

The overwhelming majority of the people we have slaughtered and are slaughtering had nothing to do with anything that has ever hurt our nation. Ever. They may or may not have hated us, but hating us is not a crime.

I'll bet they hate us now, though.
