    Today... in Fallujah, Iraq... not the time or place.
    I mean... I understand the Marine's intent and it was from his heart... but, dude... come on. You are in their homeland... it is a hostile (War) environment... you are in charge... you got the M-16... you got the power to call in an airstrike that can take out a city block... your home is on the other side of the planet. Think about it... it's all about perception.
    Maybe... America would be better served if you ask THEM about Islam... you know... to get a better understanding about where they are coming from. You are in their home... if the shoe was on the other foot... the gun was in the other hand... wouldn't you feel better if they asked you about Jesus, instead of telling you about Mohammed?
    ...
    "FALLUJAH, Iraq — At the western entrance to the Iraqi city of Fallujah Tuesday, Muamar Anad handed his residence badge to the U.S. Marines guarding the city. They checked to be sure that he was a city resident, and when they were done, Anad said, a Marine slipped a coin out of his pocket and put it in his hand.
    Out of fear, he accepted it, Anad said. When he was inside the city, the college student said, he looked at one side of the coin. "Where will you spend eternity?" it asked.
    He flipped it over, and on the other side it read, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:16."
    ..."

    If the shoe was on the other foot....the gun was in the other hand...that soldier would be dead.
    "they don't give a shit Keith Moon is dead,
    is that exactly what I thought I read?"

    yeah but smarter folks realize jesus never existed


    Yeah, but even most faiths that are not Christian acknowledge that He existed. They just don't think He was God's son as I believe. They think of Him as a very enlightened prophet.

    Why don't you believe He even existed? I think history admits He did, if even only that.

    Always jumping to extreme conclusions.I did not say all Muslims
    are murderers.
    But if it was an occupying force they would show less mercy to
    the U.S. than the U.S. are currently showing to them.
    They want ALL the infidels killed.No prisons.
    If they had prisons they would make Abu Ghraib seem like a
    daycare.

    Huh?

    Not all muslims are murderers, but if they were the occupying force they'd ALL show less mercy and they'd ALL want the infidels killed?

    Again extreme conclusions.
    The occupying force would not include ALL Muslims.
    Just like the U.S. in Iraq does not include ALL Americans.

    But everyone in the occupying force would murder innocent Americans.

    If you want to talk about extreme conclusions you can start with your own.

    Yup, that is exactly what they would do.
    You're learning.
    Ever hear of 9/11.

    Yes. The hijackers are dead, however, and dead people cannot occupy a country, let alone kill someone.

    Furthmore, since ALL muslim occupiers would kill Americans, one can only assume based on the evidence that is presented, and following your logic that ALL American soldiers try to convert muslims, and if I were to do a quick search I'm sure I could find a case in which an American soldier abused his power even more and committed grievous bodily harm, thus ALL Americans must do this as well.

    Either way, it's silly to continue to talk about a hypothetical situation. This is not what this thread is about.
