Living in Germany, I see and talk to Turkish people daily, in fact today, a 3 man-muslam group informed me that the Koran states (just like christians) suicide is a sin. The extrimist are not mayrters, but misguided sinners.

They said you gain the glory of Allah in battle (as in solder vs. solder) not by blowing your self up, but Turkey is a pretty modern country compared to their eastern bordered muslems.

Keep in mind what you wrote is true to some groups. How Alqueda and radical groups pull off the 16-Virgin bluff, is find some of the THOUSANDS who can't read or write, and read them the Koran (blink-blink) their way, then yes every one is an infadel, and should be destroyed.
True muslems do indeed 'look down' on non-muslems as lesser beings. But they (historically) use the lessers as servants. Why wipe out potential laborers.

I my self am weary of the muslem culture I truly admit.

But in ANY CULTURE, when you mix religon in to your politics, (as in the Islamic republic of _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ fill in blank) it is gioing to be bastardized and get all out of controll, just like now.

If you brain wash people in thinking they are doing Gods' work, they get weird. Look at Koresch, and Jonestown, even some of us western-wasps fall for the trap. In the mid-east they just took it too far on a large scale.


And on the Mexico invasion I created for my senerio, the answer is ,yes. If you as political body, or party, breech another nations borders, and kidnap citizens, you get what you deserve. I just chose Mexico as an example because of our weak border with them.

But for this Israel thing going on, the PLO types run Gaza, sponsored terrorist are in the parlament in Beirut. THEY KNEW WHAT ISRAELS RESPONCE WOULD BE! I guarentee they were hopeing the 'rest of the muslem world' would ralley.

And here is the clintcher for me. We as Americans should tolerate Israels mistakes, because until I see all those WMD's that caused the invasion of Iraq, I think 2,500+ brave young American solders, marines and airmen & sailors dead, so far has been for absoulutly nothing.

And don't think I am a peacenik, I was in Desert Storm, and in the US Army for 10 years (with a real honest to gosh honorable discharge), and am trying to go reserve.
