[quote=surveyor]I think you should start reading the koran. The current problems we have with islamofacism is due to the calls to islamic supremacy that is within the koran, and hadiths. This islamic supremacy actually does fit the definition of ideology. All muslims are required, per the koran, to wage war against the unbelievers. Luckily, not all muslims are interested in waging war, but they are required to do so.
(and PLEASE don’t try to use the argument that the bible/christianity is just as violent as the koran/islam. You would be devastatingly wrong.)

Isn’t saying this bit about Islamofacism and the Koran something akin to saying that the difficulty with evolution that many Christians have is the fault of the Bible because it said the earth was created and populated with all living things in 6 days? If some nut case reads his Bible and passes them out all day long, then goes and kills an abortion practioneer, is it the fault of the Bible?
Can you blame someones interpretation and use of an old book on the book itself? How about when many people , including many or most adherents to the faith don’t? When in the case of “Islamofascism” many hundreds of years have passed without the book having any such role.
If anything is to blame for the Jihad I don’t think it is a book. I think they feel like they are defending their civilization and interests and the book is secondary, but because of it’s prominence and authority in the faith, it can be used as a weapon. That some people do use it for affecting war making, should come as no surprise.Maybe they do believe it fully. Perhaps if the bible had not existed George Bush would never have been elected and Iraq would not have been blessed with shock and awe.
Getting back to the proponents of Jihad, if you think these same people would quit fighting under the current circumstances because of a new and abridged, Surveyor approved Koran, that doesn’t make sense.You act like they have no reason to fight the U.S.
