upvote and a tweet for you my friend.
i have read reza aslan's "no god but god" a fantastic book dealing with islam and its current struggle between reformation and fundamentalism stagnation.
i have not read his newer book,i think i need to stop procrastinating.
It's modern-day newspeak for unending war.
I think we need a wild-eyed *Christianity channel too.
And on an unrelated note, Reza Aslan is so cute I just want to grab him and kiss him all over!
I would respect these moral relativists more if they were sincere. For example, they see Americans and/or Westerners as no greater than jihadist throat-cutters, who are no doubt merely expressing their unique belief system with honor killings and homicide bombings.
The only people who find no room at the table with relativists are individualists favoring free markets, free speech and limited government.
The first thing Palestinians will do if given their own state is turn it into one giant launch pad for rockets aimed at Israel.
Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us. --Golda Meir
While the other is a war on abstract concepts like 'terror' and 'evil', with a few international allies, which has no end game and no objective other then ending 'evil' allowing for continuous warfare and aggression using the terror misnomer.
I believe QM is desperately needed in the front lines to tell the US troops who exactly is a jihadist throat slitter, an insurgent, freedom fighter, mujaheddin or a northern alliance soldier. This would be invaluable.
The Palestinian attacks are directly a result of Israel actions over 60 years.
And whats with the straw men arguments? Moral relativists? What next are you going to call Reza a liberal? LOL stop trying to package someones ideas into a format that takes away from the point they are trying to make.
