This is an interesting question and I am curious to see a poll result. I am watching 60 minutes and some of the "Sharia" patrols are interesting to me. The protests and such in England and France. They are very foreign.

My personal view is that we are at war with Sharia law. Not really Islam. The West will NEVER accept Sharia law. It is not something that our culture will tolerate based on our development over the past few hundred years. So please share your views. I am interested.
 
Re: Is the West at war with Islam?

Nope. We are not.
 
Re: Is the West at war with Islam?

Is Islam at war with the West?
 
Re: Is the West at war with Islam?

A sizable number of them are.
 
Re: Is the West at war with Islam?

Why? I really am curious. I feel we are at "war" with sharia law and those who believe in it. But idk.

To say we are at war with a whole religion is idiotic.

But sharia law? I mean you have to agree that Islam would have to change before it really is accepted here.

Are we are war with Christianity? After-all many Christian nut job groups (like the KKK) uphold extremist believes...
 
Re: Is the West at war with Islam?

No, we are not. Islam is a religion, you really can't go to war with a religion. It's like going to war against nouns.

I never looked at it as being at war with Islam. At war with ISIS, AQ and the like, but not with the religion. I don't even think it is Sharia law. If another country wants to abide by it, that is their business.

We are in a semi-prepared defensive posture and nothing more... Sharia/Islamic radicals are at a war with the West.

Has the KKK cut anyone head off?

I agree. But would you agree that there is no room in our nations for the views of those like the KKK? Or Isis?

You can't be accepting of everyone all the time. The "cultural relativity" movement can only go so far.

Would you even be remotely accepted in sharia law nations?
 
Re: Is the West at war with Islam?

Nope. We are not.

Nope we are not.

We are at war with radical Islam which beheads and kills people falsely in the name of Allah, and his prophet Mohammed.

Are we at war with Christianity?
 
Re: Is the West at war with Islam?

No, Islam is in a fight with the West. The west is at war with anyone that wishes to be at war with it. The west (the US in particular) has always been reactionary in nature with one exception, the cold war. WW1, WW1, Korean War, ect ect, the US has always reacted to an attack rather then be the attacker.

Well, there's technically nothing from stopping anyone going to war with an entire religion. It's just that, historically speaking, those doing the warring tend to look like gigantic assholes after the fact.
 
Re: Is the West at war with Islam?

Would have been better if you worded it as at war with the Islamic world. And to that, I'd say we are sort of, kind of, are at war with its' radical elements, but from a reactionary position.

The KKK is just like the Islamic religion...a HATE organization. And there are maybe 10,000 KKKers world wide, versus 10,000,000 or more Islamic extremist. Dumb comparison.

Islam is a "hate organization"? :roll:
I can already say this debate and thread is going to go nowhere because of ignorant, broad generalized statements like this.
