Answer 2

So, you want to destroy all the "Al-Queda infidel??" First, you may want to do a little research on the word "infidel." This is not a word commonly used in Western Culture, nor is it used in Christianity. It seems to me that it is most often used in Islam referring to all "non-believers of Islam." And, just a note of history for you: King Richard was never "lionhearted." History refers to him as Richard the Lionhearted.
And finally, are you prepared to join that "army of modern day crusaders" and give up your life for-WHAT? If so, then perhaps you would be a good candidate for the Ordinance Division of the American Crusaders? Go sign up.

Answer 3

Interesting, I wish you luck.

I think more people that have posted a response need to pull out the ye ole dictionary or look up infidel on the internet to see what it actually means. Just because Muslims use the word a certain way does not mean that is the only meaning, the correct meaning, or correct usage for that matter. A Christian that doesn't believe in the Muslim or Islamic faith, and a Muslim that doesn't believe in Christianity are BOTH infidels. Go figure!!

The next time a Muslim calls you an infidel, call them one back. Talk about their mother and about 3 generations of their family. It should piss them off enough to step into a fist or the path of a few rounds of American made ammunition traveling at head level.

Answer 4

No point really. Any army raised, especially in the UK would be subject to the same rules & restrictions placed on our troops already in Iraq & Afghanistan. Political correctness, Human Rights, Rules of Engagement and of course "don't hurt insurgents whilst being questioned or they'll want compensation".

As for who will lead this army of Crusaders I cannot for one moment believe that our illustrious "we are totally committed to the war on terror" politicians would leave the comfort and safety of their own bed to undertake this daring enterprise. Not without at least a regiment of security guards to protect their sorry @rses.

Answer 5

You are being sarcastic?

They call us infidels. As an atheist I wish that were true.

What's your point anyway?

Re your update:

You are serious?

You want to bring back the horrible religious wars, of the past?

You don't just want to fight the Muslim extremists? You want to fight all Muslims?

That's what the terrorists want.

Answer 6

I believe it is time for the sleeping giant to awaken once again. It is time for "order 66". We need to sweep the democrat (separatists) out of the way in Washington. Re-organize the existing republic into the "First American Empire" We then need to commission an appropriate individual to enforce the new Emperors will across the outlands (which I eagerly volunteer for, either position). We will have to refit our current armed forces to "Imperial" stormtrooper standards, (perhaps throw in a few battle droids to mix it up a little). Maybe begin expanding the International Space Station into a device of more "usefulness" to the endeaver. Then I think we shall have a new era of security and stability, and most of all.......peace.

Answer 7

Bloody hell - get your facts straight mate - al-Quaeda would consider "the West" to be infidels, not the other way around!!

Anyway, I thought that's pretty much what George Bush is doing!

Answer 8

I think thats a spendid idea, the Swiss and the Swedes, very experienced in warfare, should be the vanguard. Even Saladin would turn tail.

Answer 9

No - only the first crusade could be considered a success - most of the time we were lucky to find the holy land let alone conquer it.

Answer 10

Billy Graham riding on a white stallion, holding a flaming sword, while President Bush holds his shield.

Answer 11

Would rather have some protection here...bring the army home and let them defend us in our cities, rather than getting blown up and shot at abroad - at least here, they stand a better chance of getting to an hospital. Plus we stand a chance of getting rid of those who hate us yet want to live here and get benefits from us...
