Ok, so you didn't get my mockery of ignorance on the A-rabs thing. lol.
Oh, I did. I was just mocking your mockery, since you were displaying the same degree of ignorance (though in a different direction) as those you were trying to mock.
I'm not a scholar of Islam but I know there are many tribes and you can't paint them with such a broad brush no more than you can do so to Christianity by calling out Westboro Baptist Church.
Well, then I would suggest that you actually learn something about Islam before discussing it, then, or trying to whitewash it with your big brush. Start by reading the Koran, then some of the Hadith (which are first-person accounts of what Mohammed actually said and did). Might surprise you.
I think almost every religion has a version of the Golden Rule...outside of that is distorted to hell and back. War radicalizes all religion. Its used against humanity instead of for it.
But again, you seem to be arguing from ignorance. Not only your admitted ignorance of Islamic scriptures, but an ignorance of history. Islam has
from its very beginning been a religion which made war on anyone who opposed it, or simply wanted to be left in peace. The first concerted act, after Mohammed and his followers had established themselves in Medina, was to ambush and rob a merchant caravan going to Mecca. The second was to return to Medina and massacre the Jews there.
As for evidence of a profit motive in starting wars... are you denying that no one benefits from it?
Of course not. I'm arguing that those who stand to lose vastly outnumber those who stand to benefit.
The US alone is 10 trillion MORE in debt since 9/11. You can't make that claim that there is no profit motive in starting wars.
Now let's see here. You're arguing that because the US wound up $10 trillion more in debt, that it had a profit motive in starting a war? I fail to see the logic here :-)
It's also at odds with the facts. The US did nothing to start war. In fact, it ignored attacks repeated over decades, while trying (at considerable expense) to make peace.
