[Rhodes22-list] Muhammed, Prophet of Doom

[Roger Pihlaja]

Ed,

There are many things about religion I don't pretend to understand.  With so
many unappealing aspects, why is Islam the fastest growing religion on the
planet?

The review on the cover of the book you cited paints a pretty bleak picture.
I hope & pray it's not really that bad.

My fear is the situation really is that bad!

Anyone that can look at the world situation & not be really really nervous
just doesn't grasp the significance of what's going & how quickly the
situation could deteriorate.

I don't think John Kerry appreciates the gravity of the situation.

Roger:

I have never taken the position that Bush's directions are the best
way to go.  However, your analysis of the oil problem added to the Islamic
terrorist ideology supports why I have to take my position.
Appeasement or negotiation will not work with Islamic terrorist.  I
sit here in the heart of fundamental Christianity.  Some of them are so
rigid in their non-acceptance of others, that they are not significantly
different from the Islamic fundamentalist.  Karsi (sp) of Afghanistan put it
eloquently when he said that the Taliban just did not want to enjoy life.
The most important issue today is the Islamist threat and whose
approach is the better.  You have nailed the differences, but do not expect
those who are rigid in their stance to understand, or even be willing to
understand.
Again, to those willing to consider the problem, I suggest reading
of "Muhammad, Prophet of Doom" by Craig Winn.  See attachment where I have
stolen the inside jacket cover.
