RE: Who is the enemy
yeah yeah and so does Bush - "God bless america this and that" etc etc - the amount of times God/America has been lumped into the same sentence is very often -
But if you are a racist or are culturaly predjudiced you will hear 'Allah' as the call to arms of of some fanatic group rather than simply 'God' in another language...
Now.. Bush says 'God' this and that always about the USA, so if he spoke a different language he'd say 'Allah'
simple but you seem to want to suggest it means something entirely different.
Regarding the nazi party, they used tons of Christian Knights imagery in their posters etc, and yes, the vatican DID apease them - BUT the point is, we DONT (quite rightly) attack 'christianity' because of evil regimes in christian countries - but for some reason we feel that it's ok to attack 'another' religion wholesale due to the antic's of one dictator who 'happens' to be in an islamic country.
that formant is pathetic. That'd be like arresting all the monsigniors or whatever they are called from the main cathederals because of the IRA who happened to be in a 'christian' country & catholics - that would be rediculous - BUT, that is in effect what is happening all over the world with Islamic church leaders.
and why?... cos they decry the modern westernised world and it's lack of ethics & humanity?... so does the church if it comes to that albeit more subtley, but that is purely cultural differences of accepted public behaviour. As far as I know it's NOT 'terrorism' to criticise the USA no matter how harshly, or i and most of my freinds would be a classed as 'terrorists' & locked up with the rest of them...
I mean football fans all over the world... they go to other countries, into peoples communities & attack people, smash up public places & peoples businesses & cars, attack & injure or maim and sometimes kill people from time to time... do they ban football & arrest the club chairmen and Fifa officials?.. nope... but what if those footie fans were muslims, or anti-capitalists?
what they do is, they pool intelligence and arrest the proven leaders and troublemakers, take them to court, show the evidence and lock them up - they dont cart them off and hold them indefinately without trial. I like footie, but does that make me a hooligan by association with the sport???
So, no big beef... but get with reality. All I'm saying is, lets have a level playing feild and less hypocracy of hiding/disguising what is nothing more than blatant white cultural & imperial racism against another group who look/live differently.
