If it's Thursday, it must be Tikrit . . .

Actually, most of AlQueada simply changed its name to that from something els. for example, AlQueda in Iraq (the group Bush-Cheney-our resident conservatives frequently pointed to after the Iraq invasion) was unaffiliated with the people who attacked us on 911. pissed off Sunni's simply changed their name to AlQueda as a way to piss of Americans.

Correct, pj. Even Al Qaeda in Iraq wasn't Al Qaeda.

Those Sunnis just called themselves Al Qaeda in Iraq for the same reason wannabe street thugs in Macon and Missoula sometimes brand themselves as Crips and Bloods: it pisses off the cops and makes them sound tougher.

And for the right-wing dopes who have always just lumped all of the world's Muslims into a single group (terrorists), the distinction between ISIL/ISIS, AQ, and AQIA is far, far too nuanced to bother with. Hence this entire thread.

Reporters on the ground in Libya reported this a long time ago:

Question, did Mohammed marry a 9 year child?

Be careful with your answer Forkie....'cause you know the next question and what the answer is....

Actually, the god of the Old Testament is one of the worst mass-murderers in history - unless you're cool with killing firstborn children. And what kind of a sicko god tells someone to murder his son to prove his loyalty?

But I'm not looking for rationality from any religion. And yeah, I get that you're a bigot.

This seems as if it might be sarcasm.

If it is sarcasm, DonDiego apologizes for referring to 12251n as an acolyte of Chilcoot, . . . and invites him to join the DonDiego Fan Club. There are no dues, . . . however, there are no notable benefits either, . . . except for a warm glow in one's heart, which some compare to a simple esophageal reflux and others liken to an eructation resulting from ingestion of beer.

If it is not sarcasm, DonDiego reiterates: 12251n is an acolyte of Chilcoot.

I'm thinking it's high time we formed the LVA/Iraqi Protection Brigade. We can grab our guns, do a little training camp and head over to Iraq and kick some ISIS butt. Better we fight them there then here, no? Who's with me?

Me?

Sorry, take your petty little names and stuff them. You wanted to bring up Mohammed and I will bring out the Koran.

BTW if you really want to talk about mass murderers you would be best served going to your pal Joe Stalin. His "perfect" society murdered who many millions of his own people and just about decapitated his army's best generals.

I never realized that Forkie loves Islam. Now that we know that, can Forkie give me a group of people that most Muslims don't wish to exterminate?

Now watch the dance.

It's telling that you think that liking Muslims is something to be ashamed of. Actually though, I'm not a fan of any religion. When I leave my table to get a refill, the person who I most suspect might try to steal my laptop is the one reading the Bible - or the Koran.

As I've stated before, after the US toppled a democratically elected government in Iran and installed a brutal dictator, after the US supported Saddam as he used poison gas on his own people and on Iran, after the US supported all Israeli expansions, justified or not, and after the US propped up just about any Arab dictator as long as the oil flowed, you really can't blame most Muslims for hating the United States. We started it.

And to answer your question; my list of people that MOST Muslims want to exterminate: None of them, except the Israelis. And who do the Israelis want to exterminate? I'm guessing it's the Muslims. Now obviously Boilerman, you are classless enough to demand that I prove a negative, but don't try that here. If you have data to prove your allegation, go for it.
