The magic of turnspeak. the proof is in the actions! . when Christians , Jews , Buddhists start blowing up tube stations and beheading people for their god's glory , and speak of taking over the world and destroying all other Religions and creeds then people can make weak , baseless comparisons like that. This constant lumping all faiths as just as Violent as Islam will be remembered as the greatest appeasement to an aggressor in the history of mankind. we are slitting our own throats .

I just pointed out a factual error. If Spencer said , "There are practically no armed groups...." I would have shut up. I am just making sure we do not indulge in absolutist statements that tend to a simple manichaeism which might make us feel good but which is inherently false.

sublimer, look at it in context. if you compare the numbers in Violence and compare the retoric you will clearly see that there is NO comparison of Islamic violence compared to any other faction. What the Palestinians are teaching their children alone makes Islam one of the greatest abusers in history. there have been over 4000 Terror attacks since 911. you'de be hard pressed to find equal numbers from any group in the last 200 years aside from Nazi Germany. an apt comparison i'd say.

Spengler: "It is all so pointless and sophomoric; anyone can quote the Koran, or for that matter the Bible, to show whatever one wants"

Yeah, you can do that with a science book too; or a telephone book. Everythings relative man; no absolute truths or anything.

I have never said, and will never say, that any view of Islam is correct or incorrect. That is because there is no central authority in Islam that can decide such matters. I do say, and have said many times, that jihadists recruit by presenting their version of Islam as pure, true, and correct Islam, and that this view is buttressed by passages from the Qur'an and Sunnah as they have been understood by mainstream Islamic commentators...

You both say these things as earnestly as if you had a sword to your next to your respective throats.

Perhaps, not a bad idea under contemporary circumstances.

No violence (except whipping moneychangers out of the Temple, none of whom died) can be justified by what Jesus said, as his example of pacifism and non-resistence demonstrated.

So, as Mr. Spencer noted, their acts are not based on the claims of their religious texts.

The "orthodox Jews" in the West Bank are doing what the Arab Muslims in the area are doing: insisting that their holy dogma gives them the lease to the land.

I think, historically, they have the earlier claim to the region, so the idea of the "grandfather" clause of law favors them.

And I don't think that they would we fighting if the Arab nations around the newly-re-established state of Israel (1948) had NOT declared war on the Jews and immediately invaded Israel.

The Jews were willing to live with an unjust (to them) two-state U.N. solution. The Arabs and nascent "Palestinians" were not.

And now it's May, 2007, 74 years later, and the Nazi's, now called "Muslims," are again showing their evil faces and attempting to rule the world through murder and genocide.

Iraq is in a Civil war because of a centuries old fight between Sunni and Shiite , that's why. It quite easy to see from History that if there is one thing Muslims love more than killing infidels is killing other factions of " Muslims "
The Civil war in Iraq has little to do with the US or the West, this sort of Civil unrest is built right into the Religion, a Religion i might remind you that is considered " Perfect" and unchangable unlike other Religions that Evolve with the ideals of mankind. Islam is in the same place it started , stuck in a tribal , murdering mentality. Islam is the snake that eats it's own tail. when there is no Outsiders to kill and devour, it turns on itself.

No violence (except whipping moneychangers out of the Temple, none of whom died) can be justified by what Jesus said, as his example of pacifism and non-resistence demonstrated. ("Turn the other cheek" etc.)

-- I also highly admire Jesus' pacifism. If everybody abided by his phlosophy, there would be no wars.

Any group claiming to be "Christian" which then wars in the name of "Christianity" is hypocritical and fraudulent.

-- I also agree with you. They are hypocritical and fraudulent.

So, as Mr. Spencer noted, their acts are not based on the claims of their religious texts.

-- This is where I disagree. They are based on religious texts because they too indulged in selective quoting. Look up Sepulveda. How do you explain the fact that slavery was justified religiously too ?

The "orthodox Jews" in the West Bank are doing what the Arab Muslims in the area are doing: insisting that their holy dogma gives them the lease to the land.

-- I agree. They're both pretty dogmatic in their beliefs.

I think, historically, they have the earlier claim to the region, so the idea of the "grandfather" clause of law favors them.

-- You mean "religiously". while there were some Jews who lived in Palestine, the Ashkenazi Jews who went to Palestine since the Sykes-Balfour declaration were either claimed a Zionist/Socialist or a religious justification to reclaim the land. If the rule of the grandfather applied here, Israel should be palestinian because they were living there for more than 2000 years.

And I don't think that they would we fighting if the Arab nations around the newly-re-established state of Israel (1948) had NOT declared war on the Jews and immediately invaded Israel.

-- If you were invaded, would you declare war ?

The Jews were willing to live with an unjust (to them) two-state U.N. solution. The Arabs and nascent "Palestinians" were not.

-- If the French invaded the U.S. (citing the Louisiana purchase as unfair and citing mythological reasons for reoccupation) and the United nations decided to give 60 % of the U.S. to France, would that be fair or unfair ?

The Jews, orthodox and otherwise, defended themselves. And won.

-- They did indeed win. The law of the jungle prevails.

Are defensive wars not allowed?

-- Of course they are. That's why the Palestinians are fighting.

And are they the same as the aggressive, imperialistic jihad?

-- Imperialist Jihad is aggressive and unjust. Defending your homeland is something else. You are confusing the two.

“I do not use Qur'anic citations to show that Islam is hateful, bigoted, or warlike. In reality, I report on how jihadists use Qur'anic citations to justify hateful, bigoted, and warlike actions.”

This position is understandable from someone in the public arena but I think for the rest of us we have to believe that the Koran can be judged on what it fairly clearly says and since it says the awful things, repeated ad nauseam, that it does and which are used to justify today & historically, murder, conquest & terror, then it is condemnable outright.

Would it have made sense in 1932 to say “I do not use citations from Hitler’s Mein Kampf to show that Nazism is hateful, bigoted, or warlike. In reality, I report on how the Nazis use its citations to justify hateful, bigoted, and warlike actions. “ ?

True, there is no central authority in Islam today to confirm exactly how to read the Koran, but when its intolerant, infidel-hatemongering and jihadic texts are clear enough and repeated enough, we do not need a central authority’s interpretation to say that no valid religion can come out of it.

Never said " unbated "i said centuries old, which it is. what's your point? cause mine is that Muslims can't even be at peace amongst themselves let alone the rest of the world, and that you simply cannot dispute. Just look at your "Civil War " in Iraq, that is a Sunni/Shiite rift that has next to nothing to do with anything except the fact that Islam cannot achieve live in peace , even with itself.

Posted by: MoBlows at May 7, 2007 11:34 AM

The one important fact that Spengler ignores here is that, for scriptural religions, interpretations are as much as part of the canon as the source texts themselves. This is very marked in Orthodox Judaism, where the sanctioned interpretations ("Oral Torah"--the Mishnah) are regarded as having equal status (divine words) to the source written text ("Written Torah"--the Pentateuch) that they interpret. It is that which separates Judaism from other religions that hold to the Written Torah (Christianity and Samaritanism are two examples). But all institutionalized scriptural religions hold the tenet that Divine Writ cannot be divorced from its sanctioned interpretations.

Re the Iraq Civil War: peace in the Islamic world invariably means there's a strongman keeping the lid down on the warring factions. Saddam removed, centuries-old Sunni/Shia war in Iraq renewed. The Muslims have proved incapable of stepping outside the dictatorship/anarchy dichotomy.

Posted by: sublimer at May 7, 2007 11:43 AM

Sublimer try this :

http://hnn.us/articles/934.html

and this for a start:

http://www.csmonitor.com/2007/0117/p25s01-wome.html

" The split between the two main branches of Islam is NEARLY 1400 YEARS OLD, AND STARTED WITH A FIGHT OVER WHO SHOULD LEAD THE FAITHFUL after the prophet Muhammad's death in 632. One side believed that direct descendants of the prophet should take up the mantle of the caliph – the leader of the world's faithful. They were known as the Shiat-Ali, or "partisans of Ali," after the prophet's cousin and son-in-law Ali, whom they favored to become caliph. In time, they came simply to be known as Shiites.

The other side, the Sunnis, thought that any worthy man could lead the faithful, regardless of lineage, and favored Abu Bakr, an early convert to Islam who had married into Muhammad's family. "Sunni" is derived from the Arab word for "followers" and is shorthand for "followers of the prophet."

The Shiites were the eventual losers in a violent struggle for mastery that lasted decades, a fact now reflected in their minority status within global Islam.

But while the civil war now raging between Shiite and Sunni in Iraq is sometimes cast as an extension of this age-old religious struggle, today's conflict is about something slightly different. "

A Muslim should know this.

This is so good of you and I agree. They must if they can come forward and support their beliefs and true interpretation of how they got there. Our Bible people take out of text to try and give them excuse why they do what they do. "Why it says right here!" Uhh read further! It is great how you do this comparison. The meanings though are so parable but here I go apostate or sharia woman. Their meaning stops at Mo the time of Abraham! Living in The 1st Humanity=DEATH!
Abraham was to represent man's end of bondage of death. We now have a new redemption in Jesus.
2nd Humanity=LIFE!
They are working out of the 1st Humanity now!
All these devided religions in United States are all done through someone's interpretation. When we should really be listening to scholars. It is easy then to see what has been added and taken away.

You are talking semantics. It's a centuries old Rift that if not kept under control by strongmen like Hussein and other Tryrannical leaders would have become an ongoing CIVIL WAR. it's the same thing. it was kept under some form of control through terror and fear. the Civil war you refer to is because as in Islam when it is left to it's own devices it becomes violent and aggressive. the only time in History that Islam has been kept under control and at bay is when it is in an inferior position, like in the Ottoman Empire or the British Empire. with no controls over it Islam does what it is meant to do . Destroy and subjugate all others, including Muslims .

using the term "Civil War" is a deflection tactic used by sympathizers and aoplogists. Islam IS Islam and it will never change it's stripes.

I don't know about the Lord's Resistance Army. But on Jewish settlers in Judea and Samaria, their holding on to that place isn't different from Arabs holding on to places like Oman, Emirates, et al. When these Orthodox Jews want to wipe out the Eastern Orthodox in Serbia, Hinduism in India, Buddhism in Thailand, Confucianism in China, et al, let me know. I'll then concede that you have a legitimate equivalent.

We aren't talking about Muslims keeping Christianity and Judaism out of the Arabian peninsula, which would be the equivalent of Jewish settlers in Judea and Samaria. We are talking about Muslims trying to dominate the world - not only violently using Jihad, but also demographically and proselytizing.

Posted by: Infidel Pride at May 7, 2007 12:05 PM

Sublimer,

Nice shift in point. Wikipedia aside, the reference was unimportant comparative to your response. The removal of Hussein did incite the current secterian violence, and I for one think that is advantageous to all those outside of Islam. terms like "Neo-cons", "exit strategy" and "peace planning" are misplaced in this thread.

As far as your "defensive warfare claim", here's the rub on that. Per the Qur'an, the whole world is Allah's and Muslims are instructed to cleanse the world of all opposition to his will. Simple existence outside of the realm of Islam justifies "defensive warfare" against that existence.

The original story about how Spengler misses the point is valid. Anyone can find things in a text they are attempting to justify. The difference of those who act aggressively on a justification discovered in a text, which is commonplace in Islam, and say for arguments sake, those who act similarly in the name of Christian texts is, quite frankly....remarkable.

Staying on-topic always aids the flow of the debate.

Posted by: awake at May 7, 2007 12:07 PM

MoBlows,

So now "civil war" is a semantic tactic ? So what are you saying there is no civil war ? It is just Islam which is violent is evil is etc.... ? How do you explain the fact that there intermarriages between sunnis and shia ? Your argument does not make any sense. First you say that the civil war is centuries long and now you say it does not exist. You then say that anyways Islam is in a constatnt state of Hobbesian war of all against all, unless put under the lid by empires like the Ottomans. Do you know that the Ottomans were Muslims ?

Posted by: sublimer at May 7, 2007 12:10 PM

Awake,

I think you've missed the point altogether. The removal of Hussein might have caused the civil war. Does that mean that the civil war was going on for 1300 years ? You also seem to forget that the reason the civil war started was because al Zarqawi (Al Qaeda) decide to bomb a respected Shia Mosque. Why was Al Zarqawi in Iraq ? I guess we come back to my first question.

Posted by: sublimer at May 7, 2007 12:16 PM

Sublimer you might want to read my posts again. i quoted " Civil War " in regards to your points. you called it that. i didn't call what has been going on for 1300+ years a Civil war , i called it a centuries old rift , which it is. i agree it is now a "Civil War" in Iraq because there is nobody with the will to crush the civil disobedience. One more time tell me what is your point?

I do though believe that calling it a "Civil war" in Iraq is irrelevant cause the seeds of distrust and the fighting between Sunni and Shiite has been going on for centuries.

"It is all so pointless and sophomoric; anyone can quote the Koran, or for that matter the Bible, to show whatever one wants"

If you can't quote the Koran to determine what Muslims believe, what's the point in having the book? The words must mean something to someone -- or to a lot of people.

The Koran, and the bible for that matter, provide a belief system and instructions on acceptable behavior for those believe in them as the revealed word of God.

It would be pointless and sophomoric not to reference these books in trying to understand the minset of their folowers.

You are absolutely right. All was quite well in Iraq before Bush (the idiot) went in thinking that Arabs were just like Westerners and interested in democracy, human rights, and peace!

What a joke.

Hussein was exactly what the Arabs need. A ruthless, son-of-a-bitch who could get medieval on their asses. A Muslim Hitler!

We completely overestimated the intelligence and decency of Muslim Arabs who can be kept peaceful only under the threat of terrorism.

I normally don't, but given what Islam is, I do. In other words, if the Jews were trying to evict anybody else from that territory who had been there for centuries, I'd probably oppose that. However, given that it's Muslims that they are trying to evict, and given that if Muslims demographically gain an edge there, it would be over for Israel, I don't fault the Jews at all. Similarly if the Serbs and Indians were to take steps to de-Islamize Kosovo and Kashmir, I'd fully support it.

Otherwise, in the case of other conflicts, such as if Ireland wanted to expel all Protestants from Ulster, I wouldn't.

Part of the American backbone during the Civil War was the sermons of the northern preachers explicating the evils of slavery. They were considered then to be liberal. Today the tide has turned, and the conservatives are part of the backbone of American values as the rest of the culture slides into relativism. Again, IMHO, from the pulpits of the American fundamentalist churches the salvation of America will come.

I have given a copy of Spencer's book, _The Truth About Mohammed_ to the my church's library. The pastor has read it and so others are also reading it. When I am finished with Spencer's other works, I shall donate them. From what I have heard, it is having an impact.

Bottom line in the war on Islam: Spencer keep writing and join an Independent Bible church.

Islam has no idea of what they are up against.

Posted by: Crusader at May 7, 2007 1:13 PM

MoBlows,

I am a Muslim.

Yankee Doodle,

Although I disagree with the words you use, I agree with your assessment. Although I support democracy, most Muslim countries cannot afford democracy right now. Democracy, unlike what Bush (the idiot) says, is not simply a process of voting. It needs to exist in a context where most of the people are educated and a society where humanities and the arts are flourishing. The founding fathers of the U.S. were part of the Enlightenment century in 18th century Europe. So you cannot just come and impose democracy. It has to be internal and has to be the final flowering of a mobile civil society interested in philosophy, freedom and most importantly able to think for itself. A lot of you people are so discouraged by what you see in Iraq that you think Muslims are incapable of this. But you seem to forget that Iraq was ruled by a dictator where this civil society was not allowed to exist. Look at Tunisia or Morocco or malaysia or indonesia for a counterpoint.

Infidel,

I am sorry tho see that you think that way. You do have those principles but you've made an exception solely for Muslims. This is the reason why Muslims radicalize themselves. They think that nobody wants to hear their plight. I am thinking mostly of the Palestinians who have been stateless for more than 50 years now. I think a respectable two state solution with viable borders would put an end to the images of humiliation at check points and bulldozing which Arabs see on TV and which fuel terrorism today.

Posted by: sublimer at May 7, 2007 1:16 PM

While being "nice" about the subject of Islam might make us friends, it will not defeat our enemies.

Islam is a cult. The Mormons are a cult. The big difference? Islam has Muhammad as its center, and the Mormons have Jesus Christ.

I can tolerate Mormonism. I can not tolerate Islam.

I might vote for a Mitt Romney. I would never vote for an Barrack Obama. Guilty by association in varying degrees.

Auntbea,

Look up an article on the French intifada and how people reappropriate symbols they see on TV. If there was a war between the US and Mexico and there happened to be a neighborhood in France with a lot of Mexicans and Americans what do you think will happen ? Have you ever been to school ?

Posted by: Quijybo at May 7, 2007 1:24 PM

Sublimer, do you really believe this ignored "Plight" is what is causing Muslims to Radicalize? because they think nobody is listening?

You don't think that the Radicalism has been going on all along and that it is the Clerics and Imams who are radicalizing the Muslims of the world. I do . it has ittle to do with their plight cause their plight is self imposed because of the teachings of MO and Islam. When Islam is willing to modernize and live in peace with all peoples and it's neigbours you will see this Plight disapear. It's in their hands , not ours. all we can do is defend our way of life and if Islam intends to keep pursuing our destruction the plight of Muslims will worsen. We have a right to exist .

Robert, I don't know who Spengler is, but I only had to read the first sentence to decide that the piece is either senseless mumbo-jumbo or garden-variety dissembling. The guy seems full of himself and just as unaware of anything specific about Armstrong's work as your own. Frankly I'm shocked that the piece got published. Has the Asia Times no editors? Do they have any standards for what it publishable?

Spengler appears to think that an obscure poet is a great authority on these matters. I'll give him this, he appears to actually have read a few things this Adonis has written. He should have stuck to doing a poetry review. (Maybe this is a review that got rejected by the Arts Editor and so got rewritten as an op ed.)

Posted by: Archimedes2 at May 7, 2007 1:47 PM

Quijybo,

Adonis is indeed a great poet.

MoBlows,

I agree with you that the plight is radicalizing, that a ot of the imams have a radicalizing force. But you cannot just say it's the Muslim's problems and wash your hands away. I think that is cowardly. Indeed, a lot of imams are not helping but let's say they all calm down and call for peace. Israel will still be occupying the West Bank. Just this time the population under occupation will be docile. Let's say the Iraqi's calm down and Al Qaeda (as I do really hope) disappears from the surface of the earth. The Iraqis will be docile but still possibly living under American occupation. I mean do you really think the US went there just to promote democracy ? The Industrio-Military complex, the oil companies have had a big say in the invasion. ou know when american politicians say "we have to protect outr interests". what do you think those interests are ? What I am saying is yes a lot of imams are at fault, but you cannot occupy somebody's land without expecting some sort of radicalization.

what if somebody comes and kicks you out of your house, would you get angry. How would you like it that when you get so angry that you want to shoot someone, somebody calls you a radical ?

What I am saying is that the problem is more complex than black or white. It is black and it is white and rational people call for a solution to all problems. Sloganeers call for the eradication of the other.

Posted by: sublimer at May 7, 2007 1:49 PM

I have never said, and will never say, that any view of Islam is correct or incorrect. That is because there is no central authority in Islam that can decide such matters.

Makes perfect sense to me.

Sublimer

You've got cause and effect interchanged - I make an exception for Muslims because they are intolerant - not the other way around. And I'm pretty familiar with Muslim intolerance in India for starters, and have noted that they aren't any different anywhere else.

The two state solution that you are talking about already exists - Gaza, for instance, is today Judenfrei (or Judenrein). Hamas totally runs things there. Fact remains that any land that was once part of the Ummah has to revert to the Ummah. Which is why you see not just Hamas, but Fatah claiming Israeli territory. It's why you have Muslims not only claiming Kosovo, but now operating in South West Serbia as well. It's why SIMI (Students Islamic Movement of India - the group instrumental in the 7/11 bombings last year) - has as its manifesto the 'liberation of India from Infidel rule'. It's not enough that they have Fuckistan and Bangladesh - they want India as well. You see that in Bangladesh vs India, where some millions of Bangladeshi Muslims over the years have infiltrated illegally into India. Why don't they respect the two state solution?

As Concerned Citizen pointed out, none of the countries you cite are examples of Islamic tolerance. For instance, how would you like living in a country that had Malaysia's Bhumiputra system, but in this case, directed against Muslims? Such as Muslims must be forced to share their wealth with non-Muslims, regardless of how it's earned? That mosques can't be built in the new capital city?

A Muslim revert perhaps? Your vocabulary is quite good. You have a Western education, that much is obvious.

The trouble I see here is that your attempts at equivalence are going to get you into no end of illogical thinking. Jewish settlers are not strapping bombs onto themselves or teaching their children to hate. A huge portion of Israel is, in fact, Arab Muslim.

The LRA's "activities" have not been restricted within Uganda either. Kony and his followers have been used as a proxy group by the Islamists in Khartoum in their genocidal war against Sudan's Christian south.

Oh, so this must be the reason that Muslim terrorists never wear uniforms and that Islamic states hide behind Washington lobbyists and Islamic charities in order to maintain that powerful "gray" area, right?

A good plan, perhaps, but you see, I believe in black and white and it makes it so, so easy to see what's in-between. There really is not need for moral wishy-washy-ness in this war. Islam is the source of the problem, therefore Islam is black.

The rest is white.

See how easy that was?

Now, if the "gray" Muslims want to become apostates, are you going to allow it or do as "good Muslims" command and slay them? If it really is as complex as you maintain, we wouldn't even be able to find such dogma in Islam, but you see, the Creator didn't dictate anything to Muhammad, so that imperfect "prophet" couldn't have predicted opponents like you're going to encounter in this thread. God creates thinkers and people with free will and self-determination. We are not meant to be slaves or live in fear or own the lies of treacherous propaganda artists like yourself.

Instead, we choose to use logical reasoning and own worthy principles that allow for a future for humanity instead of a quagmire of 7th century misogyny and slavery and racism and hate. If Islam can not come into the Light of Reason, the Islam will meet the Fate it manifests for itself -- and if that ends up being Reformation or Destruction, either way we will all be the winners, Muslims and non-Muslims alike.

So, don't come here and attempt to make this such a complex thing. It is not.

The problem Sublimer is that you seem to not recognize that the Islamists agenda is on a massive worldwide scale . There are more Radical factions in almost every faith , but until i see a plane full of Jews fly into a Tower in a Muslim City or see Christians or Buddhists ambush and behead innocent schoolgirls and 70 year old men , along with the Pope and the highest cardinals and Bishops calling for the absolute destruction of an entire people and of all religions, coupled with all the rallies in the M.E calling for death to anyone who opposes Islam , and then throw in some evidence of Jews or others teaching their children to hate and murder you are talking out of your ass. no offence intended. It's simply just not the same . It's an Islam problem , not a problem with the west. we give aid and care about people . we don't dance in the streets when an atrocity is commited against Muslims, Muslims do when we die example 911. we have a different ideology. We embrace life and Islam embraces Death . i call that Evil and inhumane. Islam is not compatible with compassion or human dignity. Stonings , amputations and the abuses of women and children under the Religion prove that , time and again.

Islam and Muslims need to own up to the fact that their Religion and violent intolerant ways are the symptom, not the result of..

99.99% of Christians are in a solid consensus of what the Bible teaches. God created a creation and it is good. Humanity fell, but God still loved us. God chose a particular people Israel to witness to salvation history. God came through a crucified and risen Jesus in history to fulfill salvation history. Those who follow Jesus are saved. Jesus will come again to judge the world and the creation will be transformed into a resurrected state whereby we will be in full communion with God. That's the skinny version ... yes, I've left some other stuff out, but hey, I don't want to write an essay on other essentials like the Trinity. If you want to list some more theological consensus, enjoy. My point is, that the Christian theological narrative is extremely stable. Consider the RC church rarely changes doctrine. Even the evangelicals with their lack of structure have a significantly solid consensus on essentials.

Sure the RCs, Evangelicals, Orthodox, and others disagree on some other stuff, however the consensus regarding the interpretation of the Bible is pretty consistent except for the JW's and liberal Christianity which are a pretty fringe group from a global perspective. And even these dissenters from the consensus do not interpret the Bible in a violent way.

As for Muslims, in Canada an Environics poll said that 7-10% thought that killing fellow citizens was a faithful religious response to Canada's intervention in Afghanistan.

I'm sure someone could write an essay, but it is intellectually dishonest to say that you can make the Bible say whatever you want. Sure on an individual level its true, however as a community Christians have a much more stable narrative than the Muslims do. That is why Islam is such a dangerous religion. The instability of the Koranic teachings and the hadith lend themselves to an unstable consensus regarding the right narrative within their religion. This is why some Muslims can turn from the ghandi-like mecca Mohammad into the murderous Mohammad of Medina. Islam is a Dr.Jeckle and Mr. Hyde religion due to its unstable theology. Dr. Spencer is just pointing out this fact which is reflect on a continual basis in the Islamic tradition, history and current news.

There were some terrorist attacks but just let us know who financed that terrorist group. You'll be surprised. As for syria, can you also let us know how many terrorist attacks happened there.

thank you in advance for the research.

Posted by: sublimer at May 7, 2007 2:38 PM

A Muslim poster would have us believe that since the Battle of Karbala (and those mountains of eyeballs) the Sunni and Shi'a have been peaceful. If so, then why was there steady, low-level hostilities in the interstices between higher-level hostlities? Why did the Shi'a come up with the doctrine of Taqiyya, if not to turn away the suspicions of Sunnis?

Skipping forward to the 20th century, why did Gertrude Bell in Mesopotamia in the 1920s worry about the revolt of the Shi'a tribes against the Sunni overlords the British had imposed? Why was it that in Pakistan for decades Sunnis have been killing Shi'a, and why is there a Sunni group, Sipaha-e-Sahaba, expressly devoted to killing Shi'a professionals? Why have the Saudis been discriminating against the Shi'a in the Eastern Province (Hasa) for the entire history of Saudi Arabia? Why have the Shi'a and Sunnis been at each other's throats in Yemen? Why, in Bahrain, does a Sunni ruler lord it over a population that is 70% Shi'a, and why have the Sunnis decided to offer citizenship to 50,000 Iraqi Sunnis, if there is "no problem" between Sunnis and Shi'a? Why in Lebanon did the old merchant middle-class of Sunni Arabs treat the Shi'a Arabs with such disdain, and why are they still doing it today? Why, why, why?

It isn't the Americans. They, idiotically, are trying to prevent the Sunnis and Shi'a from being at one another's throats. It's exactly the wrong thing to do, by "tough-minded" innocents, naive about Islam, and Muslims -- beyond belief.

Sublimer

Foehammer bats brilliantly for himself, but on your part, this is more of a vain exercise in semantics rather than an acknowledgment that he gave you a complete response. Your question was:

can you remind me again why Iraq is in a civil war ?

Russia is responsible due to its backing of Iran and Syria, not because of its own problems in Chechnya. In fact, one wishes that Russia would recognize this as a problem of a global Jihad. Maybe they do, but they also see the West as allies of Jihad when it suits them such as in Serbia and Chechnya. As a result, unlike Foehammer, I don't completely blame them. So Russia's contribution to this civil war is indirect, courtesy its backing of Iran and Syria.

Iran has been supporting the Mahdi Army, and providing improvised IED's to Shia terrorists in Iraq. While that's been used against US troops, it has also been used against Sunnis. So that's how Iran's been contributing.

Syria has allowed itself to be a gateway into Iraq - allowing both Muslim Brotherhood thugs from Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Syria itself into Iraq, in the process easing the internal Sunni pressure on the Alawite regime. It would also have no problems letting Hizbullah spill into Iraq, should the need arise. So they've been contributing there as well.

As for Mohammed, Quran and Islam,they are the reason that the Iraqis, instead of rebuilding their society a la post WWII Japan or Germany, are focussing instead on making Iraq a true Islamic state. And Ali, and the memory of his struggle against Abu Baqr, Umar and Uthman, as well as Imam Hussein, are what inspire the Shia-Sunni conflict, which is there not only in Iraq, but also Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bahrein, Yemen and Saudi Arabia.

So they don't have to be countries to inspire any civil war in Iraq.
