Am I the only person who thinks that photo of Rumsfeld looks really funny?

Great, more stupid blunders. This "War on Terror" isn't going to be fondly remembered by history, unless future administrations pay a lot of people off...

Wow, old Rumsfeld is trying the Jedi Mind Trick to make people try and forget about this!

I'm sure the BBC chose it for that reason

I think I need a little break I just read the name of the offending General as Boyd-kin (ok, how is it that he get's dragged into all discussions of religion? or is it just the ready ammo he provides mike wong and others?

That was a pretty dumb move on the General's side. Almost as bad as those "Prayer Soldiers". Even if his statements do not reflect the views of anyone in the government, Muslims in the Middle East will still see it as an attack on their culture.

Does this make it a Holy War?

Yes.

Funny thing is Allah == Jehova == YHWH == whatever-you-wanna-call-the-bloodthirsty-son-of-a-bitch-this-week, so it's more like a holy civil war. Ah well, as long as they don't start killing pagan people again like they did in 99.99999% of judeo-christian history...

Muslims see everything as an attack on their culture. Fuck 'em. Really, they can nuke Mecca while singing "Onward Christian Soldiers" and I'll be okay with it.

Prawn, your a fucking asshole, that is yet again another unfounded blanket statement against a culture that greatly made it possible for you to wallow in your ignorance. Or did they never teach you of the treaty of Tripoli and how the arab world saved the US's ass economically. Made even more ironic by your sig or "No Women, No Children, that's the rules" when you advocate fucking genocide.

One of the first things Bush said after 11/9 (oops, 9/11) was that it was a 'crusade'. I visibly cringed, then.

My reaction was something along the lines "He did not just say that??!"

Ah, that's just it. Chunks of dead people still raining down on New York, and you bitches were worried that the word "crusade" might hurt some poor widdle Muslim feelings. It was a thousand years ago, they can bloody well get the fuck over it.

Post by **Alyrium Denryle** » 2003-10-19 02:35pm

You realize what the word crusade means right? Using the word crusade isnt going to buy us anykind of help from muslim countries if you know what I mean...

InnerBrat · Post by **InnerBrat** » 2003-10-19 02:43pm

It's not going to buy you any kind of help from people who think that religion is not a vaid reason for warfare, and who don't approve of tarring an entire race with the same brush.

Personally, I think Prawn has a problem with brown skinned people...

LordShaithis · Post by **LordShaithis** » 2003-10-19 04:01pm

I have a problem with people so mired in fundamentalism that they're going to be set off by the use of a word which (only in the most literal sense) describes a religious war that took place hundreds and hundreds of years ago.

Wrong. In the Middle East, it only has one meaning. A war on Islam.
