Ah the rich scent of debate. Shukar Allah that this scent is pervading these threads.
If you had one ounce of sanity in ur brain you woudnt post this stupid remark about war being balanced and pain goes both ways.
Like I said - I didn't say "war is balanced". As for pain going both ways - who are you to say that the pain a non-muslim feels is any less than that of a muslim. For if we are to go by the Quran here, the Quran says that any one life lost is like all of mankind dying. And that includes the lives of non-muslims. But in our "Islam Islam Islam - muslims ought to rule this world" style of thinking (the roots of Islamic fascism, as I like to interpret it), its so convenient to forget these kinds of verses in the Quran that are not specifically meant for any one historical incident, but are rather, universal, in their application...and instead this style of thinking leads us to home in on verses that were meant for particular situations in which early muslims were asked to defend themselves because they were undergoing a genocide.
You friend soldiers dont have a right to step in a third world country and go on killing innocent people for their oil hungry president.
You dont give these soldiers the credit for the fact that most of them feel the same way you do.
** I know young people in wisconsin who refused to do so and were detained or court martialed. At least its better than having the blood of innocent people on ur hands.**
Yes, I agree. However, mankind does not work in this utopian fashion of I-will-stand-up-for-what-I-believe-in. I realized long ago, that this kind of attitude usually applies only for characters like Aerin and Tor in the Hero and the Crown and other such children's fantasy novels.
** People raise so much hue and cry here, over these soldiers killed by so called terroists and insurgents or whatever in iraq..ever thought bout the 100,000 iraqis who were butchered by your precision war tactics or countless people who were targeted in chechnya, vietnam, sudan, haiti and list goes on.**
The funny thing is that this same critiicism is being raised by our very own Americans - nay, not the Muslim Americans only, but by non-muslim Americans as well. So stop generalizing.
** I suggest when u celebrate the christmas with ur gora friends and drink and dance under the tree.do think about those people luyin in graves in iraq..especially the infants who were rotting in graves over there**
And who are you to say that I dont feel anything for those people? Innocent people are dying there, yes. In Afghanistan too. But you know what? Innocent people died here in the US, due to terrorist attacks - done by so-called "muslims". And you know what's even more sick? Is that there are muslims dying at the hands of other muslims.
I suggest you read up a little on Iraq's civil history - not going back to the last 10 years or so - but waaaay before that. You will find stories that are so disturbing, that it makes you wonder if the Iraqi people are being punished by God. Its plausible, at least.
