In one case islam is a subversion of noble savagery and the other a reinforcement of the most base desires. In either way a treatable ideological cancer. <BR/><BR/>Your friends belief that deviation from innate human nobility has genetic rather than ideological causes does assume the worst. However much a person may identify themselves with a religion, they and the religion are seperate and comparable things. Devout muslims, encouraged in their devotion by such lazy propaganda as you have indentified in Clancy, will be condemened by the very same persons that proudly conspire to mis-educate such muslims. <BR/><BR/>Apostacy isn't death. Encouraging people to devote themsleves to an ideology that is, whether you are aware of it or not, on a collision course with your own will lead to their, or your own, death.maccusgermanishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01887574496312472556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25624602.post-70463673962499285562007-09-21T22:35:00.000-07:002007-09-21T22:35:00.000-07:00Well, I jumped on you a bit with my comment there,...Well, I jumped on you a bit with my comment there, Dag, written in the rush of the day. I reread this post and edited my comment a little. I now see that the post is more hopeful than perhaps I first recognized. Violent foreboding is a tough emotion to write about. The means for our ongoing deferral of violence is what we need to learn about, which entails thinking neither too long or too short.

My friend likes people and wants them to be as happy and healthy in mind and body as is he. He finds the good in most, and the bad he dismisses as aberrant. My friend supports Lefty causes, wishes well for the enemies who will provoke a storm of rage, hatred, and violence against the primitive masses.</I><BR/><BR/>What justifies your vision, Dag, especially to the reader that comes to this blog for the first time? It seems you mostly imagine a terrible closure to the present series of events. Is it not possible that things could work out better than in your fears? Is our sense of narrative, one that always assumes a closure - disaster - to blame for our disinclination to be both realistic about Jihad and to be more hopeful? What is the vision of less violent change you maybe want us to know about?<BR/><BR/>I ask these questions because, with all due respect for the study I know you have done, you don't show it here. Do you really think it's appropriate to call a billion people savages? If so, it would seem that you can offer no more for the future than those you suggest will bring about mass death. Can savages or primitives change or must they all be killed, or controlled and separated from their children, hte latter to be raised by others?<BR/><BR/>If the left's stupidity is setting the stage for a crisis in which only mass killings will bring resolution, how is your utter rejection of Islam/Muslims going to lead to an engagement that will be less violent?truepeershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16401984575637492845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25624602.post-41695694152679639662007-09-21T16:51:00.000-07:002007-09-21T16:51:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.truepeershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16401984575637492845noreply@blogger.com
