Wondered when you were going to poke your head into this one.

I swore I wouldn't do this again

It has nothing to do with being a religious bigot. It has everything to do with foreign policy. You can scream and cry like a little baby all you want about how we're not that bad of people, and we mean well. You're right, we're not horrible people and we do mean well. But that dosen't change the fact that hundreds of thousands of Muslims have been slaughtered while we prop up a Jewish state and bicker over the death of one woman in Florida after she has been brain dead for 15 years.

I actually agree with you here. I hope this is not what we are disagreeing on. Still, you must also mention the hundreds of thousand non-Muslims that have been slaughtered in the muslim countries. Of course we very rarely hear about it, because anyone that "tells" has their family slaughtered.

Muslims around the world see us are the cause of their plight, and in a lot of situations they are right. In one way or another, we have caused them to be in the situation that they are in today (see Israel and Iran situations mentioned above).

John you are trying to make a religious ("Holy") war in to a political issue. You may be right. Politics and Religion are certainly bedfellows, after all Religion is interaction between man and God and Politics is interaction between Man and Man.

Whether you choose to accept it or not, we have had a hand in Muslims getting killed and the blood is on our hands. Go ahead, complain and try to say that it's not Christians or something, I expect nothing else from you.

I myself, have never killed a Muslim - but the day is young
However, Muslims recently killed 5000 or so Americans in a suicide attack on a large office complex. Perhaps you were aware of that?

It is what it is - Muslims are being slaughtered while we stand by. We'll help the Jews to get into a position where they can slaughter Muslims and we wonder why these folks are so mad at us.

People die horribly every day. Not just muslims killed by Christians or Jews. "We all have but one destiny, and that is to die."
In spite of my cavalier tone, I am sensitive to and grieve for the lives lost. I wish there was a way to "bury the hatchet" and move on, but look at Ireland for example. Not gonna happen! The spiritual forces involved in the Middle East hatred are huge. Yes I am speaking metaphysically. This is all pre-ordained. Revelation tells us that things are going to get worse (much worse) before they ever get better.
I wish I knew what we could do to alleviate it, but I can tell you one thing. If you think that withdrawing our support of Israel will reduce Western Hatred one iota - well I have a deal for you on the Brooklyn Bridge. No checks please. Cash, and in small bills.
