Ever hear of the Inquisition? Made These guys look like amateurs.

Do you want to get into the Muslim connection to slavery as well?

Bluering is evil. He glories in the idea of killing. He glories in the idea of people making poverty wages. It seems like he sold his soul for the love of money and power. Disgusting soul.

It seems like you frequently use the "will you send your children" approach when foreign entanglements are discussed. Why? Under what circumstances do you think we should use troops overseas?

My take is I don't need to offer up my children because my taxes help maintain our military, which has mostly fought overseas for the last century. Based on our history, it's likely that military action will not be on US soil. So, what's your beef with considering fighting overseas?

Two of the leading voices in the Muslim world denounced the persecution of Christians in Iraq, at the hands of extremists proclaiming a caliphate under the name Islamic State.

The most explicit condemnation came from Iyad Ameen Madani, the Secretary General for the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, the group representing 57 countries, and 1.4 billion Muslims.

In a statement, he officially denounced the “forced deportation under the threat of execution” of Christians, calling it a “crime that cannot be tolerated.” The Secretary General also distanced Islam from the actions of the militant group known as ISIS, saying they “have nothing to do with Islam and its principles that call for justice, kindness, fairness, freedom of faith and coexistence.”

Meanwhile, Turkey’s top cleric, the spiritual successor to the caliphate under the Ottoman Empire, also touched on the topic during a peace conference of Islamic scholars.

In a not-so-veiled swipe at ISIS, Mehmet Gormez declared that “an entity that lacks legal justification has no authority to declare war against a political gathering, any country or community.” He went on to say that Muslims should not be hostile towards “people with different views, values and beliefs, and regard them as enemies.”

Gormez said death threats against non-Muslims made by the group, formerly known as Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), were hugely damaging. “The statement made against Christians is truly awful. Islamic scholars need to focus on this (because) an inability to peacefully sustain other faiths and cultures heralds the collapse of a civilization,” he told Reuters in an interview.

Don't ask others to do what you would not. Do not sacrifice American teenagers, so that you can keep your own teenagers close.

What comprises the bulk of IS? Disaffected iraqi sunni and syrian war orphans? Remnants of Saddam's army that were disbanded?

...Washington’s announcement that the US government has no plans to coordinate US attacks on ISIS on Syrian territory with the Syrian government. Washington recognizes no limitations on its use of force, and the sovereignty of countries provides no inhibition.

In Washington coercion has supplanted the rule of law.

Syria has every right to be nervous. The reason ISIS is operating on Syrian territory is that Washington armed them and sent them to Syria. Washington’s air strikes on ISIS could very well be cover for air strikes on Syrian armed forces.

Here we see the complete failure of the Obama regime. As in Libya, the Obama regime set jihadists lose on Syria, pretending that they were fighting for democracy against a dictator. But Washington lost control over its monster which has gobbled up large parts of Syria and Iraq and is forming them into a new country hostile both to the West and to the Muslim vassals of the West.

Steve now holds the rank of Field Marshal within the suburban confines of Santa Clara.

Hey Steve, is what the military does the same as what you feel as a commercial consumer ? Is it the same as complaining that the waiter was slow in delivering your drink when someone who actually knows what's going on doesn't start hacking up those who displease you ?

"Volunteering" is a poor excuse for what used to involve everyone and their children. It was called the draft, and your little boy was once an object of the meatgrinder whether or not you had an opinion as a parent.

So go f*#k yourself unless it's cool with you that a bunch of senators and congresspeople you've never met, think it's A-OK to take your 18 year old child and have other people you've never met shoot bullets at him.

I can't speak for him but I think this is what Dingus is talking about.

The fact is that it's the same people from the same places that go and do your dirty work for you.
