Are we in the beginnings of the New Crusades ?

[kentuck]

But, this time, we will take Jerusalem and make the Holy Land safe for Christianity? The war on terror and the war in Iraq are only the beginnings of a long and deadly religious war?

No doubt, we have stirred the religious fires of the Muslims, flushing their holy book down the toilet, and showing photos of their prisoners on international TV, and invading and killing their innocent women and children. Is this only the beginning?

1. Shit

War on terrorism has been a war on Islam since we attacked Iraq. Can't have a nation of non-Christians now can we?

3. Huh?

I'm against the invasion of Iraq myself, but not sure how you square this with our alliance with Pakistan or our close (and baffling) friendship with the Saudis.

5. The Meathead Administration

is just using the Saudis and Pakastanis like whores. And those whores are more than happy to take the US dollars for their service.

2. no it is the start of the end of the radical Right wing nuts

4. Most frightening

are the internal struggles going on innside Christianity and Islam. The fundamentalist elements are making inroads and taking over control of both religions and those elements want to control the countries in which they are located. If they are successful, then we will have warring theocratic nation-states on our hands and that will lead to modern versions of Crusades.

6. With a uiniformly uniform, uniformly Evangelical officer corps

, New York Times, May 12, 2005,

A chaplain at the Air Force Academy has described a "systemic and pervasive" problem of religious proselytizing at the academy and says a religious tolerance program she helped create to deal with the problem was watered down after it was shown to officers, including the major general who is the Air Force's chief chaplain.

The academy chaplain, Capt. MeLinda Morton, 48, spoke publicly for the first time as an Air Force task force arrived at the academy in Colorado Springs on Tuesday to investigate accusations that officers, staff members and senior cadets inappropriately used their positions to push their evangelical Christian beliefs on Air Force cadets.

For more than a year, the Air Force has been struggling to respond to accusations from some alumni, staff members and cadets that evangelical Christians in leadership positions at the academy were creating a discriminatory climate.

In an interview on Tuesday, Captain Morton, a Lutheran who has been a chaplain at the academy for two and a half years, said that the initial reception to the tolerance program helped illustrate the climate.

Maj. Gen. Charles C. Baldwin, the chief of chaplains for the entire Air Force, screened the R.S.V.P. program in October, Captain Morton said, and afterward asked her, "Why is it that the Christians never win?" in response to some of the program's dramatizations of interactions between cadets of different religions.

In an interview on Wednesday, General Baldwin acknowledged making that comment and said he had objected because too many scenes in the original program had portrayed Christians at fault for excessive efforts at evangelizing.
