More Muslim Media Bullshit

Yes Congress and the majority of American people were very much against getting involved in WW2. American involvement was by no means "inevitable" as posted earlier. The jap surprise attack on Pearl harbor changed all of that overnight. Americans got relly really pissed off and rightfuly wanted some payback. It still would have been difficult for FDR to get a declaration of war against Germany though. Hitler took care of that by declaring war on us a few days later anyway.
I agree with heretic that the Iraq thing was fucked up. I really despise BUSH for that bungled BS.

Driving Out the Nations
1 When the LORD your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess and drives out before you many nations—the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites, seven nations larger and stronger than you- 2 and when the LORD your God has delivered them over to you and you have defeated them, then you must destroy them totally. [a] Make no treaty with them, and show them no mercy. 3 Do not intermarry with them. Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons, 4 for they will turn your sons away from following me to serve other gods, and the LORD's anger will burn against you and will quickly destroy you. 5 This is what you are to do to them: Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones, cut down their Asherah poles and burn their idols in the fire. 6 For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession.

I can almost guarantee that the excuse will be that that was from the Old Testament and Jesus corrected it with the New Testament. I could be wrong, but that's what I've been told numerous times when discussing this with other people.
That's why I maintain that ALL religions are dangerous. They were developed for a couple of reasons....to explain the scary unexplainable and to control the peasants.

Religion is a tough thing to discuss. The quote... 'Religion is the opiate of the masses', doesn't really tell the tale.
You don't slam planes into buildings for an opiate.

Religion is a tough discussion to have on a Sunday morning at your local church, never mind broadening the topic into geopolitics into the mideast. Good luck!

I would not say Jesus came to fulfill the law in this case, as this is not part of the Liviticule law. This was a pronouncement for this singular event - coming into the land God had proclaimed for His people. Why the current inhabitants had to be destroyed I can not say. I don't know. I trust that God, being God, did know, and had very good reasons. I can make guesses and put forward theories, but that is all it would be - my guess.
There is an important difference between these passages and the Quran. As mentioned, this was a singular event - not a command for all time, all places and all people who aren't Hebrew. There is nothing in all of the Biblical text that commands others accept the Jewish (or Christian) faith or be killed. God's law was for His people and only His people. They were not expected to force others to accept it and comply and this was never done. When Christianity has done so, it has been greatly in error and acted in direct opposition to what Jesus and the apostles taught. The same is simply not true of Islam or the Quran. When they set out to slaughter anyone who isn't a Muslim they are obeying their god and prophet.

I think I'd have to say no. . . But why do you ask??

Wait till enough Muslims are here...
