Why not war against Islam?

Here's a transcript of Steven Emerson's 1994 testimony before the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. It talks about the threat posed by "radical Islam", and mentions the 1972 Munich Massacre in its list of radical Islamic attacks. The term existed then.

Good job. I stand corrected.

Now, as far as your other opinions go: I will go with what Muslims and former Muslims tell me rather than someone who levels personal name-calling tactics.

well not so good as the US but we have a bit of that too.

but yes this exactly is the point.

One can be pro gay marriage and be pro Islam.
i am not pro Islam, i am pro freedom of religion.

Islam is not pro-gay marrage. This is the point of that news article and why gays in the UK are trying to change things about Islam.

It it were possible to be pro-gay marrage and pro-islam, those activists in the UK would not be out trying to change Islamic policy and there would not be a news item for you to link to.

In other words, all Muslims have to already be pro-gay marriage and pro-Islam, or none of them can be.

I don't think you know what the word "possible" means. The fact that these activists exist means that it's possible to be pro-gay marriage and pro-Islam.

Concede the point and move on.

How many times do I have to correct you like this before you start rethinking just "what Muslims and former Muslims tell [you]"?

LOL

These people are protesting Islam because they want it changed. Kind of like what I am doing. They are NOT pro-Islam.

because you attack people and not the argument. Your "corrections" are merely finding minutia and clerical errors to exploit. If I post mistakes that does not mean my whole argument is wrong. There have been a number of items I have posted that you ignore. There have been direct questions I have asked you that you have ignored. You have ignored them because the answer is unsettling to you.
 
ANTPogo, you attack people personally whom you disagree with. That is wrong. That is called ad homimem. Also if you find a mistake -- I believe you would even exploit a misspelled word -- you insist all of the other points and facts that person makes is invalid. Once you find one error you feel you have license to ignore any and all other facts and issues. To your way of thinking since the Taliban really did originate from Afghanistan then Islam is good and we should all embrace it.

Also you seem to insist Islam is good because other religions are bad. Care to explain that?
 
your problem is that the vast ajority of claims are wrong indeed.
don't blame ANTPogo for it. Blame yourself ofr not knowing the details nor being interested to learn the details, no wonder you are constantly wrong over and over again.

Being a muslim makes you pro-Islam? That does not make any sense.
For most muslims, being a muslim is not a matter of choice, nor is it possible to leave Islam. The only option is to try to change it. And this is easier to do in the UK than under a muslim government.

Nice try.
It only looks that way because the valid claims are ignored.

And by the way, it only takes one claim to be right.
So even if most are wrong, it is still a correct point.
 
Bill Thompson said:
Care to elaborate on that?

I saw pics on that page of protestors.

I fail to see (or care) which part is confusing you.

In any event, your claim is conclusively disproven. It is, in fact, possible to be pro-gay marriage and pro-Islam.
