I want you to correct me where I´ve misinterpreted you. That´s what I want so we don´t get confused.

What we need to learn is tolerance without hypocrisy or prejudice. What we need to learn is to mind our own damn business.

I interpreted your statement as saying: if things were that simple (anything goes in war), then "your" side would´ve anihilated the enemy a long time ago. I imagine with weapons of mass destruction.

Please, correct me if I´m wrong.

So this is basically where we´re at, I think. Where did I get it wrong?

I guess first up is where your applying what happens in war for us as to what happens as civilians for them. You continue to use acts of war as a justification for sharia law and i dont see anyone else trying to make that match. Apples and oranges my friend. Are there acts committed during wartime that are regrettable? Absolutely.

Is our penal system and its punishments as barbaric as those of sharia law? Hell fucking no and you keep acting like all of sharia law is at war with us when it isnt. The war is on terror not sharia law and all of those that follow it.

In other news, I actually agree with Rand Paul (for the moment anyways) on something O_O.

Foreign aid to Egypt must end. I urge my colleague to vote to end it when Congress returns

Foreign Aid to Egypt buys tanks and tear gas, but does not buy the good will of Egyptian people.

President Obama says he “deplores violence in Egypt”, but U.S. foreign aid continues to help pay for it.

Egyptians use American military vehicles to quell dissent; Congress responds by sending more military vehicles

I understand there is some murkiness is doing so, but the way the Egyptian military is acting it is hard not to support saying, "You know what? We could use that money to pay for some of our shit instead."

Shit, I even took my time going back and quoting our responses and I get NOTHING. lol

Alright, lets just pick it up from here then.

So we´re in agreement that the vast majority of countries under Sharia Law and the vast majority of Muslims are not the enemy?

My question is: who´s right?

And in conclusion, this is my point.
