What I "get"

US Marines and Soldiers are stationed in and around Islamic Holy lands, playing Metalica, Godsmack, and Hip-hop artists on their iPods. This angers the Islamists...I get that.

Danish Newspapers publish a coupla cartoons depicting Muhammad and Islam in general as more a religion of violence than the peace verbalized by Islam's supporters. This angers millions of Muslims world-wide...and I get it.

The Pope quotes a 14th century Islamic scholar who stated 600+ years ago his opinion that Islam was about violence and conquests. This infuriates millions more....and I get it.

The response to the military in Iraq is to car bomb, ambush, and use IED's, killing thousands in the past 3 years.

The response to the Danish Cartoons is to have massive riots in the streets, where hundreds of thousands gather to chant, "DEATH", "DEATH", "DEATH", "DEATH", "DEATH", "DEATH", "DEATH", "DEATH", and in fact dozens have been trampled to death during these demonstrations.

The response to the Pontiff's statements was to brutally gun down a nun at a Somalian hospital.

Like I said...I get it. Do you?

They are nothing like us...they do not think like us. They are not reasonable, they are not educated. They are taught intolerance and hatred from a young age. Like "gang" mentality, when you have nothing to begin with....you are susceptible to radical thinking and ideals. You can't fight them as you would a conventional enemy. They just don't see things like we do...They don't GET IT.

The President of the UN and one of his sidekicks found a woman on the side of the road- she'd been beaten, probably raped, and was near death.
The UN pres looked at his aide and said, "This is just awful. Look at this woman. The man who did this to her needs help!"
Then they walked away.

Yep. I get it. Bastards.
