"Desperately?" Hardly. I shake my head at some of the reaction. My wife had to change the channel to calm me down when I saw the British Muslim demonstration and their "behead them," "jihad" and "screw free speech" placards. What gives me hope that this doesn't have to be Huntington's...

w-i-i, When you say "these streets" does the same thing apply within the "green zone?" From what I've seen from afar it looks like the "green zone" is more secure than outside, and the rules may not always work the same way.

I see 48H finally self-destructed. In any case, to answer his question, in no way do I suggest we don't talk about it. I do think some of the previous comments using terms like "heathen," "primitive," "nuke 'em" don't advance the debate, and only serve to inflame. There are many Muslims that...

The replies crack me up. I loved this one One of you guys?

Actually, I challenge that it was purely a PC exercise. I distinctly recall seeing a pub titled "Shoot to Live" that was much older than the '80's variant. The weapons depicted in the illustrations were .303 Lee-Enfields. And yeah, I also remember the abundance of ammo in the early '80s, except...

Since my question I've seen some additional info regarding the "three extra" cartoons. They are allegedly "hate mail" sent to Muslims in Denmark, that were included in the "dossier" that the Danish imam took on his tour. Gues-|- Reacting to hearsay isn't a uniquely Muslim failing. Nor is it...

In my job I deal with the threat every day, in one way or another. I see just as much, if not more, damage incurred from overstating the threat than from ignoring it. We can't very well win hearts and minds by, through our own ignorance, giving the radicals the tools to influence the ignorant...

I think you've made your point crystal clear. My emphasis added, in case anyone missed it. I have a feeling as I type this the mods are deciding what to do.

How old is "Shoot to Kill?" I seem to remember the "Shoot to Live" programme came to us in the mid-'80s, but was based on a '40s or '50s pub (my ever-dimming memory recalls a copy of it in the Regt'l library of my old Mo regt.)

EDIT: I got a bit wound up about the direction of the "discussion" and resorted to a personal attack on 48Highlander. My apologies.

The quoted news article makes no mention of the Danish imams or the false cartoons. The sources for the allegation are pretty thin. Is there any corroboration anywhere?

??? Silly analogy, even if I disagree with Glorified Ape.

Well, Cannonfodder just "...opened [his] mouth and proved it."

Sorry Eddy, I'm not a Fan Club member, so I can't say I read enough of your posts to know that your knowledge is strictly pre-'68. I should have checked your profile. Thanks, though, for acknowledging that I may well be correct within my own span of knowledge (sorry, should be 25+ years, not...

The trouble is we're not dealing with an Internet "don't feed the trolls" type of situation. Ignoring the problem won't make it go away. In any case, I think I have to side with the "civil society" camp, as opposed to 48's offerings. The fact is, we do live in a society with imposed norms of...

Another Seahawks fan wallowing in misery.  :'(

COs have powers of punishment, and can delegate officers with lesser powers. Now, at least, only Commissioned Officers can be delegated officers. In fact, in my 25-odd years, I don't think that has changed. A WO cannot be a delegated officer, and therefore cannot have powers of punishment under...

And Morresy illustrates the gulf between cultures. Muslims cannot understand why we do not accept religion's dicates on political and legal matters. In addition, our reaction to the cartoons, or to the results of the cartoons is illustrative of our ignorance of how Muslims regard the Prophet...
