Are you stupid or do you just refuse to read? And do you just refuse to educated yourself? And its pathetic that I have said NOTHING about race...and youre trying to bring you racial whining bullsh!t into this thread.Stagger Lee said:Here we go again. "Why is islam the religion of terrorism and conquest?" Cuz of the west. "Why does anyone do anything bad or anything bad happen?" Cuz whites.Islam has always been that way since it's founding in 700ad. The only thing you can do with it is to contain it. Which was the policy until about the 1960's. You're partly right, liberals and conservatives have both encouraged islam's spread and meddle in the middle east too much.
And another thing there's no "maturing" islam short of converting. Also whether Islam theoretically worships the same god as Judiasm and Christianity is irrelevant. They don't worship their god or gods the same way and don't describe him the same way. So one or more of them is wrong.
How about you directly address the points Ive made and tell me where I was wrong. Its historical fact that the UK and USA backed a coup in Iran in the 50s. Its historical fact that foreigners backed coups in Afghanistan. Its fact that the Soviets invaded and that the USA armed fighters who would later become the Taliban. I bring up the Soviets meddling as well...and your response is "wah wah cus west"?
What is wrong about any of those historical facts? Find me information that states that is wrong. Why whine and make lame retorts like you just did?
There was a time when Christianity was used to run around killing masses of people. There was a time when religion was used in this country even, as an excuse to discriminate against anyone with the wrong skin color and background. But I dont believe Islam will be the way it currently is forever. Especially considering how Turkey and Indonesia are Muslim nations with moderate politics, rights for women, and dont have citizens who travel abroad all the time to blow people up. The West has a huge problem with the Middle East...and a lot of it is down to foreign policy.
So yes, along with the fact that Islam needs to mature out of its Dark Ages behavior, Western meddling has led to dictatorial or Islamist in areas around the world. Or do you forget there was a time when the USA and UK backed the dictator known as Saddam Hussein?
Now hes gone and Islamists are trying to take over Iraq. Yeah...Western work at its finest Good job containing the Islamists by illegal ousting (again) the only guy keeping them in check.
