BRINGING IRAQ INTO THE RAP GENERATION

THE WORLD "DE-SECULARIZES" WHILE WE STOMP OUT RELIGION

The world is embracing religion. Hinduism, Muslim, Christianity, and to a limited extent Buddhism is seeing a rise. In corners of the world old tribes are rearing their heads and embracing religions and practices thought to be dead for two thousand years.

Only in the "West", most particularly "Old Europe" has religion fallen in the number of participants. Islam has exploded as has Hindu. Here are the numbers since 1920 and they should make everybody think. Western religions have gone from 48 per cent of the world's population to ten percent; Islam from 2.4 percent to 18% including Bosnia etc.; Hindu from .03 to more than sixteen percent. Even the African tribal religions have risen from near zero to nearly 10%. No accurate figures for Orthodox Church are available but churches just in the city of Moscow have increased in number from under 50 in 1988 to 250 by 1993 with 30 percent of people under the age of 25 asserting their religion, up from zero in 1988. The number of mosques in Central Asia rose from 150 to 10,000 in the same period.

The U.S. is attacking expressions of religions here (except Blacks and Islamic), manning our government agencies with atheists, while we try to deal with societies that are becoming more and more religious by the minute. People of "anti-faith" cannot deal with people of faith; by definition they have contempt for those who believe in God and in a divinity. Atheists believe that the people who believe in God are stupid by definition. So all populations of Islam, India, South East Asia, Latin America, and much of Africa is "stupid" to them. They look down on them as inferiors on the basis that others believe in God and they do not. The attacks on Ashcroft are based purely on his religion and Bush's belief in God is a subject for literati ridicule.

Now we are involved in "nation building" in Iraq, a Muslim country that has a glorious 4,000 year history with not one microsecond of democracy. Why should they change? We can assert change if we "shove it up their asses", meaning we have the guns and we can force them to do what we say or we kill everybody who crosses the line. We did that in both Germany and Japan after WWII, but under vastly different circumstances.

The other way is if Muslim Iraq wants what we have. We have superior technology, superior material things, and a superior army. We claim to have a better way of life. We have something called "freedom". What we also have is despicable displays of women on TV and movies whose sole purpose in life seems to be to let all men know that they are a great piece of ass. We offer homosexual relationships lifted to the divine sacrament of marriage. We offer a culture of drug addiction and alcohol abuse, songs that glorify incest and murder, corrupt business practices, movies with men kissing each other, women in lesbian sex relationships, and a Godless legal system. All that is on display for them to see.

In a world that is tilting toward religion in every continent but Old Europe we bring in a Godless culture and Godlessness. And something called Democracy. This is a system where people get to vote for their own governments. So they had this election in Algeria and the Muslims won the election; the ruling class cancelled the election and didn't let the Muslims serve. The same thing happened in Turkey, but the Military let the election stand, for now. The fundamentalist Muslims won the election in Jordan. Muslims won in Pakistan too. That's a democratic outcome we don't like, can't understand because we don't believe in God, and believe we have to stop. Democracy doesn't mean you elect representatives of a God that doesn't exist. Smart, huh?

I report, you decide and how many of our guys are going to die this week?.
