Re: %18 of Americans think Obama is a Muslim, and other disturbing fac
Uh, YES, by a factor of ten (to twenty-five if you include his unprovoked invasion of Iran).
Dude, that was more than
20 years ago at that time.
And we supported him in doing so. But like Al Queada, he had nothing to do with the building of this communinty center which is not at ground zero. Not that it would matter if it was.
Bzztt.... Wrong again.
After the US Government heard stories about the Anfal campaign we sent Donald Rumsfeld over to Iraq, where he met with Saddam (resulting in the famous photos) and he relayed to the Iraqis that we could NOT provide any military aid. Instead we supplied
Iran with wire-guided anti-tank missiles which neutralized Iraq's tank advantage (which they enjoyed due to the enormous number of Soviet and Chinese built T-55's and T-62's they had purchased).
You really need to read some recent, actual history, because you're always spouting the equivalent of "But the US is responsible for the deaths under Mao's great leap forward by using the American Volunteer Group's P-40's to topple Chiang Kai-Shek and overthrow Ho Chi Min's rule of Thailand."
Back to the point. There exists a radical Islamic world view that blames all the Muslim murders of Muslims and non-Muslims alike on the evil Jews and on America, which is controlled by the evil Jews. This view is identical to the Nazi world view of Jews and Jewish controlled America. It is so vile that a genocidal dictator can kill two to three million Muslims through torture, starvation, rape, and poison gas and still be lauded as an Islamic hero, who sets your heart all aflutter, but anyone who stops these horrific acts is branded a Jewish sock-puppet and war criminal.
Both Al Qaeda, Imam Rauf, the Aryan Nations, and you (obviously) buy into this worldview. We don't need this worldview, Islamic nations don't need it, in fact nobody needs it because it is false, self-defeating, incites further radicalism, and perpetuates the horrific murders of innocents being done to advance radical Islam.
