Live in Pakistan or the United States? That's another hard one. I live in up in Eastern Washington right near Idaho and Canada. Yeah, sure, I'm gonna pack up and move to Pakistan because America is so bad. Anyone who thinks like that really doesn't have a clue. How can you point to the greatest country on the planet while you live in a pig sty and tell us how bad we are? The facts don't match your rhetoric.

Tell us how many million people in Indonesia support violence to further Islam.

Do you not support the use of violence to further "freedom"? What is the Iraq invasion other than a violent act to IMPOSE a political ideology on a people? YOu can hide behind the euphemism of "liberating" the nation.. But the simple fact is that the US HAS NOT LIBERATED ANYBODY.

WHy don't you tell me how many people in the US support violence to further US national interest? SO just because it is US national interest it is acceptable violence?

22 Million indonesians may support violence to further Islam.. why does your midget intellect not register the 198 million that DO NOT support violence? The indonesian Democracy ALLOWS the 10 % to have their opinion. Indonesian democracy also ensures that these 10 % never come into power.

Is that not democracy?? If not then tell me why.. Last i checked, the OPINIONS of the population did not determine whether they are a democracy. The only criteria for being a democracy is whether the leaders are elected by popular vote. And they surely are in Indonesia, Malaysia and Turkey.

So jefferson's statement that no muslim democracies exist is just plain false.

You can whine all you wish about how wrong the policies of these democratic nations may be.. But who the hell are you to pass judgement. Just like the US was not bound to repeal the Patriot Act because of international pressure, NO OTHER nation needs US approval of their internal democratic processes.

Hubris.. and it will cause the evntual downfall of your once great nation.

You're just the typical lying muslim who will say anything to the infidel to further Islam. You prove it every time you post. You come around here and say you are for peace. Then out of the other side of your mouth you say America is as much a terrorist as Hamas and Hezbo.

You don't have a clue what real democracy is.
I am not a liar. Who the fuck are you to call me one?? What so you are a christian american and that makes you better and more truthful than me??

I am completely AMAZED that you find it within your rights to whine about how everybody slanders you for being a bigot and a racist. YOu prove that "slander" at every turn.

YOu are no more than a bitter old man, howling at your own insignificance. YOu will cause no revolution, you will inspire NOBODY, you will NEVER fight for your country, and you will certainly NEVER contribute to the solution of this planet's problems. But you will talk.. and talk.. and talk..

You are irrelevant... and the only reason you are a such a loudmouth is because you know it.

Come on Jeff, you totally took the discussion off track.

We started with your statement about how no muslim democracies exist. And i showed you that statement was wrong.

As far as which country is preferable to live in.. Well dude ur american.. you will prefer america.. big deal. Indonesians prefer Indonesia, Turks prefer Turkey and Iranis prefer Iran.. What exactly are you trying to say?

Not in the most admirable fashion i admit..

And i really don't care what you are going to accept.. when you ask a question you can not decide upon the answer. I think that is the basic concept of the question/answer process.

Like i told you i actualyl belong to a minority that is discriminated against in Pakistan. Ahmedis are not allowed to call themselves muslim ON PAIN OF DEATH ( thankfully it is a little enforced law )

This discussion started when you stated that all christians would be killed. It is not fair to term a religion genocidal when it is not.

Sure discrimination exists. But it is steadily decreasing. The generation of my grand parents would not even share a table with a christian. Kinda like how many of the ancestors of todays white americans would not think twice about selling a black man as cattle.

Also you claimed that muslim democracies do not exist. That also is not true. I take issue with this statement because it sounds like you believ that Islam and Democracy are incompatible idologies. And as Malaysia, Indonesia and Turkey have proven that is NOT the case.

It is important to remember this because many clerics claim that Islam and Democracy clash. Democracy is a danger to CLERICS. NOT TO ISLAM. Again i suggest that you stop believing the stupid mullahs when they make these statements. I mean christ it's hard enough to keep the uneducated muslim man from believing those belief peddlers. Are we gonna have to CONVINCE you too? That won't [articularly help in implementing democracy anywhere.

You are confusing the issues of Muslim EXTREMISM (or more specifically terrorism) which the vast majority of Muslims don't practice, with the general practice of Islam itself.

Muslims number approximately 1.3 BILLION.

And how many of those are causing problems???

Thank you for your confession. When you say, "not in the most admirable fashion I admit..." what you're really doing is admitting that Muslims persecute, torture and slaughter Christians on a DAILY BASIS - and it happens all over the world!

Even YOU - a liberal Muslim - would be persecuted and killed in MANY Muslim areas. Some religion of peace!

What you are admitting is the proverbial "tip of the iceberg".

Several MILLION - by conservative estimates.

And so, while you try to make the percentage look inconsequential, you're admitting that the sheer number is staggering.

Whose "estimates" are those?
And how many of those "million" reside in the U.S.?

I acknowledge a problem exists with EXTREMISM in Islam. I'm not trying to gloss over that.

But the point is that Islam ITSELF is not the problem.
