If we're not careful here, we might end up understanding, and, agreeing with each other!

The Moslims may not hate Christians, but they sure jumped at the chance to enslave American sailors after the USA lost the protection of the UK. Remember Commodore Preble? (local boy) and Captain Steven Decatur in their battles with the Barbary pirates? It was a Moslim country that was the first to declare war on the infant United States.

Preble and Decatur went over there and kicked ass. As Winston Churchill said in response to Hitlers threat to "wring Englands neck like a chicken"..."Some chicken, Some neck"
