It's human nature to want to bring down any religion, race, country, or leader that kills our fellow Americans, that's not racism!!! All of you that claim to know so many Muslims... You don't because true Muslims are not here, they despise our western culture. They are willing to kill or die for what they believe and consider us weak because we are not. And if there are good ones answer me this. How long would you call yourself a christian if Christians were filling truck loads of body bags with innocent men, women, and children
War is not the same thing as what these people are doing. If America is so evil then why don't you go live somewhere more suited to your sensibilities?
I did not say America was evil, I was merely copying and pasting statistics. (and not very good ones)
War is not the same thing? lmao... war is war, death is death. It is the same outcome.
Religion is war
Money is war
Oil is war
Power is war
Whats the difference?
