        Evidently you haven't heard the phrase "You want it? You got it, and everything that goes with it." Not surprising, as pinko commies think their demands won't have any long-term side effects, which is absolutely 100% false. If you want to bring these loons in, you risk bringing in the "fanatics".

        However, seeing how you still have an obsession over Christians as if it were the Spanish Inquisition, fetch... the comfy chair.

                  The fight is against religious fanatics, and the ignorant mindset that equates all believers of THE OTHER EVIL FAITH with fanatics. These aren't normal Muslims any more than normal Christians are the WBC.
                  That isnt as true as you make it out to be. The % of nutjob Muslims >>>>>>>> % of nutjob Christians. It isnt a majority but it is closer than many on the Left pretend it to be. The moderates in the Muslim faith have not made much headway in this matter either.

                  We need to stop making false equivalencies. Muslim Fanaticism /= Christian Fanaticism in the modern day. The Muslim World lives in the 1600s. It is time we treated them as the Dark Agers that they are.

                        I wonder if anyone has been able to figure out at all what the biological driver is for them wanting to live in the 1600's? I don't remember my history that well but I do seem to remember that part of the world being ahead of the science curve at one time. It's like they just stopped evolving.

                          They were doing very well until a few things happened. The radical clerics started gaining a foothold through much of the region, and European imperialism carved up the nation in "unnatural" boundaries, placing warring clans and religious factions within the same region. This is part of what caused Iraq to be so volatile even before Saddam or the US got involved back in the '80s, with the Shiites and the Kurds (and that third group whose name escapes at the moment) being forced to play in each others' sandboxes.

                            Sunni would be number 3.

                            Still, you would think the main driver of any civilization would be civilization. They seem to defy the definition of the term.

                              Well, when the nutters gain power and control the militaries or militias, then the common folk are going to fall in line as a matter of self preservation.

                                True. But then logic would say that freeing the common folk from the nutters would effect change. Which we thought we did in Iraq. Instead it backfired. Maybe the whole population has Stockholm syndrome and can't be corrected.
