Reply #8: Validate Your Beliefs with DATA

[vanlassie]

I would like her to defend just one of her many generalized, global statements. How about this one?

"...I want peace as much as anyone else, we are not "war-mongers", but we also realize that there are times when war is the only answer."

Exactly WHEN is it that war is the ONLY answer? Please be specific, given how very important the belief is.

And then, please offer your proof for the following:

"The people we fight don't believe in peace unless we are willing to subject ourselves to the laws of Islam."

Which PEOPLE we fight? Are those the PEOPLE of Iraq? The half million we have killed? Are those the ones? Or are you speaking about some OTHER people? Please be specific.

It is always a good idea to be clear when you have strong beliefs, and further, to validate those beliefs to be sure they are actually TRUE. There is only ONE way to tell if something you believe is true. That is with DATA.
