You may recall a thread last week or the week before about VMI holding a celebration of some Moslem aggression in Spain centuries ago and how it was being billed as 'outreach' or some such crap.
I expressed my feelings about how I have very mixed emotions regarding what I helped usher in to the country of Kuwait...specifically the subjugation of Christians and Jews.
Well, Afghanistan is set to execute an apostate.
Afghanistan.
The nation we "liberated" and spent time and money on "nation building" in order to, I guess, appease Islam.
There is a form letter which will be e-mailed to SecState Clinton, Spkr Boehner and Ambassador Eikenberry.
I added my take to it...
<snip>
I served in the Army during the First Gulf War and I used to be proud of the fact that I helped liberate a country. Since then, I have come to learn about Islam, and, having seen some of the stories that come out of Kuwait regarding the treatment of Dhimmi in a Moslem society, I have grown to feel like I did not, in fact "liberate" anyone. I simply aided in the subjugation of others at the hands of people who practice an ideology that is anathema to everything we in the West are supposed to cherish.
As I said, I have studied Islam and can say the only difference between a "radical" Moslem and a "Moderate" are the means to the same end. One is simply using demographics.
And you.

American Family AssociationThis sort of thing absolutely eats away at me. We
installed and
support that government! Did the idiots in charge not understand what sharia
is?
Anyway, without getting into it much more deeply, I think I can safely assume that most of us here feel the same way and respectfully submit this link.
