RE: Who is the enemy
k thats very revisionist of you... shall i start posting links to catholics who saved tons of jews?
you know better than to throw a statement out there like that...
hitler hated christians and thier bible and was much more a champion of modern athiestic thought than anything else.
so to restate it,
"I mean after Hitler, no-one started a pogrom against athiests did they?.. "
we could go all day back and forth on what christians did or didn't do to stop hitler but in reality your accusations of a)hitler and the church being friendly and b)bush being equal to hitler are not responsible statements. there may be evidence either way but you pass it off as 'common knowledge' when its very dubious.
so lets back off the hitler comparisons ok?
now to your point k, i can agree with you that the iraqi regime is more or less secular but you can't deny they invoke the name of allah to get the crowds riled up anymore than i can deny we demonize sadam as a muslim dictator.
so yah, bush throws the name god around a lot. have you read any speeches from other presidents in our history? nearly all of them invoke the name of god on a frequent basis. you will probably find the same in your own country but i can't imagine you as a patriot so it is a wasted point i suppose :-)
