Porkchop, what do you base this fear on? I though AMUs reputation was regarded rather highly in DOD and Intel.
OT-I changed majors from Intel Studies to History only because I fear I won't qualify...

The same could be said about Christianity too.
One thing I was hoping this article would reveal is the historical significance and legitimacy of the Palestinian people and their right to the land. This seems to be one of the, if not the, major...
Very well said!
Hasn't our reputation in Africa significantly improved mainly because of our assistance with the AIDs crisis?
I think most of this alleged "hatred" is just jealousy, envy, and...
Not trying to add to the argument, this just made me think of a question.
Couldn't there be a c) The people support those who are providing social services to them. Religion is secondary.
Or...
Hi Marc,
Completely agree with you that there has to be moderation..and a lot of it. I think a well-trained, well-educated, and religiously well-mixed group of people can pull it off...
Can't contribute much, but what an incredibly interesting discussion.
Amen to that! Although I don't have personal experience I would imagine #2 plays a large role as well.
MSG Proctor, I'm...
1) The remarkable progress in Iraq. To name one specific related item: Petraeus and Crocker's testimony to Congress. (I think that changed, in a good way, a lot of the American public's perception)...
Coupla questions to clarify. What do you do? Just go to that wish list link and purchase it normally, then everything's all automatic?
And about the amazon search: Do you just have to use the...
Good verses, Sarajevo. Thanks.
What are ways that Muslims are commanded/allowed to convey the message?
And is 3:22 the consequences of rejecting Allah? "They are those whose works will bear...
Sarajevo, some questions. Why are you calling it crusades? Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and all those other right-wing idiots who do are wrong. I think most, if not all, of us here know this. We've...
More crap from the anti-COIN/HTT crowd. :rolleyes:
Marc, I have no problem looking at the "dark side". We should. I don't think anyone's trashing..YET...but the thread seems to be going in that direction.
My only "problem" (and, no, I don't have a...
Tacitus, I think you have the book of Job all wrong. Job was not sinless, he was blameless (because he feared God and shunned evil). It was not a "wager" between God and Satan. Satan challenged and...
I'm going to continue the tradition of glossing over. I don't know the answer to this. The closest I get is because He's God, so there must be some reason for it that we don't understand and may...
That's kind of the same reasons I'm asking these questions. (although I'm probably being a little more theological here). I'm trying to be careful and show respect for other's beliefs, not trying to...
That's probably when it's the most important time to have talks.
What about sports? Soccer, wrestling, etc. Introduce American football to them (that'll channel the aggression!)
Well, Steve, I AM a grandfather, so here's my take.
Who promised you this?
I'm an old guy going for his UG degree, no one promised me anything. Yes, ultimately I hope to get employment in...
Yes, definitely debatable...as is most everything in the Bible. (the authorship and dating of the NT probably being one of the bigger debates)
I'll just leave it at this: there's a big difference...
I have to disagree, Marc. Most of the early (pre AD 60) churches, such as those in Ephesus, Thessalonica etc, did accept Paul as one of the messengers of the gospel. If there was any argument about...
Don't know all that much about "original" OT translations, but Paul's letters are considered by many of the original church to be the "first" NT. (he wrote them long before the Catholic empire...
Sarajevo, thanks. Although not exactly the same as the sermon on the mount, their are many similarities.
This is mostly to satisfy curiosity. Is there any section of the Qur'an that has any similarities to Jesus's sermon on the mount? Or is it just a case of digging and finding particular...
Happy Birthday, USMC. And thank you ALL for the freedoms I enjoy.
God bless.
