Are we at war with Islam? I've heard numerous people say no, including the POTUS. However, can anyone name one Islamic country that has no ties, either collectively or individually, to terrorist attacks? Islam is called by its adherents the religion of peace and they claim Islam has been hijacked by the few. And there are dozens of Islamic countries. Surely there must be one in which the religion has not been hijacked and used to attack the west?

Disclaimer: I too believe in freedom of religion. Those are acceptable when kept personal.
Your post encouraged me to speak up. Specifically you highlighting Christianity, since this is cross-cultural. Terrorists are fanatics that adhere to any ism that threatens the liberty or quality of life of others. Usually via personal validation or groupthink. Interpret it how you like.
There wasn't a thread created for "are we at war with religious fanaticism?"
As a minority that dislikes religious literalism that inspires cultural exclusivity I would say yes. Not to say that I am a tree hugger. Those Buddhists need to stop wasting petrol.
The East is holding no reservations, and is going further into biotech and other engineering. While the West is hanging on to Jihad, metzitzah b'peh, and an inability to advance with stem cells.
We can sacrifice the best of our QP's, but not an embryo. Wake up America. We clone mammals now. Who is we? Mark 5:9 "…Legion, for we are many.” This is not the time to lose our edge. Let me know when the mormons clone the prophet. I hear they are on the cutting edge of genetic research.
They even have an official 5013c: Mormon Transhumanist Association. Not kidding. To discuss "posthuman" special forces, that would be a great thread. To imagine a transhumanist Mormon, would be an act of terror. Especially if it was wearing magic underwear and consulting FM-2030.
Thank you for your post. God bless Amerigo where I can blaspheme while watching primitive mythology in its death throes.
