Poll question: Would You Call Bush's So Called WAR ON TERROR A War On Islam?
Edited on Wed May-25-05 07:15 AM by DistressedAmerican
Personally, I think I'd feel like it was if I was one of them. So, I my vote would be a yes.

I'll refrain from further lobbying until some votes are in.

8. I voted that it is a war on Muslims
But I"m sure any death to dubby is good. So far he* has mostly killed "them".

:nuke:

Just heard the talking point "culture of life" and thought to myself it should be "vulture of life".

:think:

9. Bush's War is a war for control of oil that is using euthanasia on...
...primarily Muslim believers, although I'm sure that innocent Iraqi Christians have been indiscriminately exterminated as well in the process. Iran will be invaded because it also has large oil deposits and it is only coincidental that they are a Muslim nation.

12. NOT really, per se; it's bush trying to instigate the muslims to war
against us.

That justifies their invasion into the nations they wish to acquire.

18. Yep
Some will deny it, but all you have to do is turn on some of that hate filled evangelical radio broadcast during any part of the day to find out. If I had as much hate bottled up in me as some these broadcasting ministers I would be making an appointment for counseling to rectify it

For calling them selves Christians it sure seems like a lot missed some major lessons of what it's all supposed be about.

I am willing to bet that there is lot more to this than meets the eye but why do all of these other folks have to follow so blindly? :shrug:

PS. Please excuse irrationality above with it's trying reason why others could also be ignorant. I keep on forgetting that a lot of them are some kind of trance with this unreasonable cultish behavior and that I shouldn't waste anybodies time even thinking about it.
Next time I will watch what I say :hide:

20. Oil
If it was owned by redheaded, left-handed Papua, New Guineaians, that's who the 'terarists' would be.
