mos, are you talking about the kind of inspired communication and diplomacy that took place in Munich between Hitler and Atlee? If so, forget it!

Little Hawk, that's the first time I've ever heard the statement that christianity has also been spread by the sword.

Birlliant!! Absolutely brilliant. Why didn't anyone ever think of that before: that Christians are just as guilty as Muslims if not more so. Maybe someone will nominate you for a Nobel Peace prize. After all, Arrafat got one.

Getting serious for a moment, naturally I want the culture in which I live to come out on top. If it comes out on top with all your dreams for a better world intact, fine. If not, I'd rather live under our system than theirs.

For one thing, forums like this one are allowed here. Under fundamentalist Islam, you dare not criticize the government. The same would probably be true under a Fundamentalist Christian Theocracy and I don't want to live under that either.

If we could all just get along...

But we never have and probably never will unless, of course, you want the would of "Brave New World" or "1984" And please don't anyone respond with "We already live in the world of 1984". It's been worked to death and it's not true anyway.

The facts of my "historical diatribe" are accurate and simply point out what is now happening and why. All the finger pointing and "you did it too" is not going to change the facts one iota.

The whole world is, in my opinion, endangered by radical Islamist terrorism at the present time and there will be no peace anywhere by anyones definition - except theirs - until it is stopped.

You want peace? It's easy.

Surrender.

Submit to Islamic rule. Live like the Afghans under the Taliban.

No freedom, but peace.

So lets deal with the here and now and work on utopia when the present threat is gone.

BTW, if anyone is going to post about how America is the biggest threat etc, PLEASE have some hard facts available. To the best of my knowledge, the US has not inflicted a 9/11 on anyone.
