This was great to see. Hopefully, this will tone down the knee-jerk reactions.

Since that is just as blasphemous to a muslim fanatic, as saying, "Mohammed sucks camel cock," we might as well have some laughs in the mix.

Geting back to the topic of the thread, though, here is a broader report on what's happening in Libya.

We seem to be on a slippery slope where ridiculing religious belief is not allowed. We should look into our past to rediscover where that kind of thing leads eventually. Why should someone care what somebody else says about their faith? It's a perverted situation you have where people think killing a creation of some omnipotent being is what that omnipotent being would want? If god created all around us then they created it for a reason and so the continued existence of these bigots is a requirement of that entity perhaps? Perhaps you fail the test if you kill them rather than pass the test. Who can second guess the wants and desires of a fictional being, only the creator of that fictional being.

Rich, have you been reading different threads to me ? I know you are getting better at spin but this takes the biscuit.

Only a Republican could be unhappy to a show of support for the US in Libya.

We are all waging our own battles with the religious right/religious extremists.

Moderates in every country need to support each other. It is the only way we will free ourselves from the religious tyranny that goes on not just in other places, but even in places like the U.S. Politics and religion do NOT mix. And when they do, you get repressive laws, restrictions on free speech, the oppression of women, and many, many other ills.

I would never want anyone to think that conservatives and the religious right in America somehow represent all of us. Because they absolutely do not.

In the same way, I cannot label any other country or peoples in their entirety to be terrorists, extremists or whatnot. Why? Because it is simply not true.

Certainly not. We are just the ones who keep the guns oiled, to make sure you can keep your mouth running.

Really ?
I hope this is tongue in cheek,cause ,to the best of my knowledge,the US Armed forces has never,ever,imposed a political purity test to see if one is qualified to serve,and possibly die or be maimed,to protect this country's freedoms.

Ummmm,not really Rich,I'm still confused.It's a given(in my mind at least) that the no refers to the rights defense of the Second,but in truth no one is attacking the Second,in spite of all the rights claims to the contrary.
No one is coming for your guns Rich,seriously relax,they are safe

It's a bit disingenuous to suggest that only religious fanatics are in the military.

I personally have extended family members currently serving in the U.S. military in the Middle East. These family members are socially liberal people who bear no resemblance to the Religious Right, so I really don't appreciate your perspective. But thanks for sharing, anyway.

I'm a vet, with family currently serving. I wouldn't suggest for a moment that our forces are all of a single political view.
