I've heard conservatives and republicans say that the war in iraq and the war on terror is meant to win over the hearts of moderate muslims and bring democracy and freedom to arabs by liberating them from al-qaida and such. But ive read several posts at freerepublic.com, a popular conservative site where members call islam a religion of death and call arabs savage barbarians. Now, these are people who support the war...i'm not some radical left winger saying "see...this means that conservatives only want oil, or they only want to hasten the rapture/apocalypse", merely i am really wondering if there is a logical answer to why many people (it seems) hate arabs and muslims, yet support a war that Bush freely claims to be in the best interest of innocent muslim civilians. Our God is love. {(Their god is Hate.............. 3 posted on 01/15/2007 12:20:06 PM PST by Red Badger)} that, in brackets, is an example of a comment on freerepublic in reference to muslims.
