Am I a guest or an invader and occupier? as for there version of heaven I like mine better the one where I don't get in with the virgins because I forced my religion on others. you see I would much rather coexsist with all peoples with the understanding that we can all get along and that most of the tenents of our chosen forms of worship are about the same things. I can do that with many of the worlds religions and other forms of worship and I can do that because they do not require that I be killed because I dont prey to a rock as they do. so um in short, screw um!

You know how supportive those libs are of our men and women in uniform...if you don't, just take a look.....

Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death. Such evil must be purged from Israel. (Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT)

(Moses) stood at the entrance to the camp and shouted, "All of you who are on the LORD's side, come over here and join me." And all the Levites came. He told them, "This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: Strap on your swords! Go back and forth from one end of the camp to the other, killing even your brothers, friends, and neighbors." The Levites obeyed Moses, and about three thousand people died that day. Then Moses told the Levites, "Today you have been ordained for the service of the LORD, for you obeyed him even though it meant killing your own sons and brothers. Because of this, he will now give you a great blessing." (Exodus 32:26-29 NLT)

hey stupid, he's not in uniform, he's a civilian.

Shooter, I'm not sure why you'd go out of your way to offend the Muslims if you say

I've always found you have to give respect to get respect. You are in fact a vistor in a country other than your own and IMO you should at the very least not intentionally offend people. It makes Americans looks bad and as a representative of the U.S. I'd hope you would behave in a manner which brings honor to the men and women who put their lives on the line, much like you did when you served. Because by doing otherwise you put them at greater risk by fanning the flames of annimosity and discontent in an already hostile environment.

That is just the opinion of a liberal though so take it for what you will.
