Both sides of this world conflict are pretty terrible and I'm sure one is probably worse than the other.

They both paint themselves as being the "good guys."

As many conflicts as there are in the world there are only really two sides, and it is not really good vs evil. It's more like the Hatfields and the McCoys. Half the time people fighting wars don't know what side they are fighting on.

I know I'm confused. It just looks like a struggle to gain control of the masses and control the wealth of the world.

I don't think people should even get sucked into taking sides. Neither side is your friend. Let them fight their own battles.

Well, let us look at the concept of blind tolerance. I have been prompting people to read the Quaran to understand what they wish to tolerate. How can tolerance be offered to a faith that offers none of its own? There are way too many conflicting view points in this world and a lot of them play on ignorance, a lack of education, and fear. I utterly oppose the presence of Islam in America but we are told "We have to tolerate it." I can't count the number of times I have tried to discuss Islam only to be rebuffed viciously about questioning their faith while Christians will entertain a good argument. For one there are too many of "God's Chosen" on this world trying to kill off the rest of us. There are concepts that work against us and likewise work against peace. Diplomacy only works when both sides wish to talk. otherwise one side has to be forced to talk under threat of destruction/ annihilation. This is the essence of man kind. Americans need to get over themselves and come to realize the world is a much bigger place and we are not that evolved. We must be ready to make war to protect peace.

Humanity itself IS the ultimate paradox.

How do you deal with intolerance? Beat it into submission or wipe it out.

In deference to Syria, the UN and America has been messing with them internally and now the war THE UN AND US CREATED HAS SPILLED INTO LEBANON! Now the UN with Hillary Clinton and France are trying to drag us into another conflict that has nothing to do with us. There are too many people trying to force things that will not be forced. I feel the UN is going to bring Armageddon around partially because of their ignorance tolerating Islam and letting it get bigger and more powerful. Islam is going to cause the WWIII we all talk about and fear. Again READ A QUARAN!

There is no thought going on other than to appease a false god that does not exist! if people could grasp the concept of what god really is they would feel pathetically smaller than they do now!

When it comes to religion and tolerance, this is what I think.
Islam does not practice freedom of religion so if their religion demands inflicting their laws into our society, they are not welcome here.

I don't care what mythical god they worship, they should not be allowed to practice their laws in this country. They must abide by ours.

If they don't like it, there's the door.

In America, we only "tolerate" them because we DO practice FREEDOM OF RELIGION.

So they better embrace that or get the hell out.

When in Rome, Do as Romans Do

And the Romans do it a lot.
