I guess we could.

I'm not sure it's entirely accurate to compare our conflicts with the conflicts of 10 or 15 countries always fighting one religion based war with one neighbor or another. I mean we have wars. They end. These muslims seem to have to have a war or some major conflict going at all times.

The US has probably fought more wars and low intensity conflicts and covert operations than any other country on the planet.

You have to wonder which countries the US has not fought any such engagements with.

I don't know. I'm certainly not an authority on it or anything. I see how they're behaving over a (admittedly stupid) cartoon and have to shake my head and wonder

Good gawd. Be sure and walk on eggshells around muslims. You DON'T want to cause them even a minor irritation. Hell, they'd probably break your neck if they had some split ends or a hangnail

Well, people may make of Islam whatever they do, however, I don't think it's fair (read: I think it is biased) to say that Islam is militant because there are a great many conflicts where Muslims are involved. If you want to judge them on a case-by-case basis, I think you would see it takes a way a lot of that force.

Israel - Palestinians: Israel grabbed their land. Who would not fight after having their land grabbed?

Pakistan - India: Again they fight over what I see as an Indian land grab. Kashmir is overwhlemingly Muslim, and I believe Jammu is as well, so India is just abusing their power as a larger country over Pakistan in order to take a territory that should go to Pakistan.

Russia - Chechnya: A conflict that has been going on for several centuries, again involving a land grab. The Russians came down into Chechnya as they came into Eastern Europe, Afghanistan, China and other countries and has grabbed some land. Naturally the Chechens are resisting that.

US - Iran: Look at how we and the British government toppled their civilian government in 1953, and replaced that with a dictator (the Shah) who resorted to torture and barred freedom of speech, press and assembly.

There are some cases where the Islammic side is just undeniably wrong, such as in the Sudan. However, I sympathize a great deal with the Muslims who are victimized just because they are weaker than their foes.
