Libya's Moammar Gadhafi calls for holy war against Switzerland

From what I gather, the Swiss government isn't taking Gadhafi's call to Jihad seriously. I don't think he's too well liked in the Muslim world. But then again you never know. There are certainly enough terrorists and fanatics in the Muslim world and I'm sure that many of them are always froggy and ready to jump in response to the rantings of any lunatic. A lot of guns in Switzerland though. Almost as many as there are in Florida.

Roy: Did you mean to say that they are in favor of banning the burka?

"There are certainly enough terrorists and fanatics in the Muslim world and I'm sure that many of them are always froggy and ready to jump in response to the rantings of any lunatic."Wow. That was a very efficient, two-,  nay, one-dimensional analysis of terrorists. I suppose I say the same about Americans. And to think those froggy crazies call your countrymen terrorists. Oh the nerve of them! And to save time I would love it if you didn't simplify my retort into sympathy of terrorism.And yes, Europeans are not clearly in support of banning burkas. Read the polls - the lawmakers do not always speak for the majority; just because it becomes banned does not mean that is what everybody wants.

Hugh: I imagine that you're on to something there. Also the Europeans are more "progressive and tolerant" than we here in America are. As you know, America is a terrorist nation filled with racist/xenophobic/homophobic/Christian religious fanatics that strap on suicide bomb packs every day of the week and blow themselves up along with innocent men, women, and children in the name of Jesus Christ.

Send in Condaleeza Rice to talk some sense into him.

of course I keep forgetting the only form of terrorism is suicide bombs. how stupid of me. thank sweet lord jesus not one american has ever taken another life in his name. my oh my, i do feel stupid now! and if you want to simplify my 'defense' of terrorism to an act of complicity, that is fine with me. I would rather at least take the time to try to understand an enemy (and yes, terrorism and terrorists are an enemy) rather than just chalk up them up as nutjobs. have you even looked at a webpage of a muslim fighter, terrorist or not? i would agree with you there are defnitely some crazy manifestos out there. but what about a man who lost his three daughters and wife in a roadside bomb dropped by an american bomber? would you say that is a man you would rather chalk up as crazy, or maybe someone who shouldn't be treated with a bullet but rather some therapy, maybe even an apology? fighting someone and villifying them is not the only answer. sometimes yes, absolutely, but not always. i know this is a stupid question before i ask it, but just try to imagine yourself in that situation. would you be angry? perhaps even delirious? again i will ask you to not simplify my comment down to a sympathy call for terrorism. i would agree that killing civilians is barbaric and an atrocity. im just saying the terrorists arent the only ones doing it. and i'm sure you can justify the times when 'our side' does it. i just think so could they.
