    But Shiite are the more "progressive" Muslims, It's the Sunni who are the more "radical" ones.

    Oh look, $2.4 trillion and 4,000+ US soldier corpses later and Iraq is busy resetting to the pile of shit it was beforehand. Almost like this was a terrible fucking idea from the start like you were told repeatedly by everyone.

    Good thing all the conservatives used those memory wipers from Men in Black to pretend they were against the war all along lol. I look forward to them pretending they were all against Trumpism in 5-10 years too.

    A disaster for the Americans. Get rid of Saddam and replace him with a black turbaned virulently anti american shia cleric a decade later.
    Pretty much what I've been saying for a decade.

    There's a difference between a Religious Leader, and a Leader with a respective Religion.

    Also, who cares? The U.S shouldn't bother with another country's problems, anyway. I mean, we're not Jesus.

    Remember when George W. Bush said that God told him to go to war in Iraq?

    Or is that under the giant straining pile of cognitive dissonance and intellectual dishonesty?

    tell that to the queen of england. or the pope. or every monarch country with a protestant state church. or the dalai lama.

    dont like those double standards. religious leaders can lead a country very well, this is proven over millenia. if god is the only entity above you, you still have something higher above you to keep you in check.

    if you are atheist and become leader, there is nothing that can keep your actions in check, the best example for this is hitler.

    exchange religious with fundamentalistic, and your statement becomes correct.

    Maybe, but most of them aren't allowed to speak to the press without prior permission, have positions that are purely ceremonial, purely clerical, or both.

    Very well said. Religious leaders can be very good if they're genuine. Fundamentalism becomes a problem with any religion. The major ones, for instance, were all codified in a very different and violent times, and most people have realized that certain aspects of it (like women being essentially property of their male relatives in Islam; eating the wrong thing can have you put to death in Judaism; or stoning prostitutes or eye for an eye retribution in Christianity), has no place in a civilized modern society. Extreme fundamentalists, sadly, still see those things are things God EXPECTS and DEMANDS be done... or you're a sinner.
    The most difficult thing to do is accept that there is nothing wrong with things you don't like and accept that people can like things you don't.

    you wish, weirdo. I mean you never ever mention WHY anyone is wrong so again this attitude coming from you is just fucking hilarious. you're not smart or wise, you're just an asshole.

    "Muqttada al-Sadr...

    "

    To be honest this is a good outcome. Al-sadr can be negotiated with and has credibility-he can keep the shias onside unlike all the recent leaders.

    Of course he killed a lot of yanks, but I have a hard time giving a shit since they had no business invading the country in the first place. This is a total humiliation for the US, but it is thoroughly deserved.

Of course, if Pence was Muslim, trying to force Sharia Law down our throats, you'd call us racist for trying to resist it. But hey, nothing gets in the way of a Liberal whining about (imaginary) bigotry or slamming Christianity.

    One, true for the Irak/Iraq point. I will write Iraq.

    Two, Iraq/Irak is a good faith error. Transliterated names often vary a lot according to the language. For instance, in French, Rasputin or Putin are rendered as Raspoutine or Poutine. While ''Poutine'' is a rather disgusting fries, cheese and gravy dish, ''Poutine'' is way less ''diplomatic incident in the making'' than ''Putin'', since ''Putin'' pronounced as it's read in French is a crude word for a streetwalker.

    actually in 2018 yes western religions are way better... how can you dispute this?

    uhh all those languages combined (the ones with IRAK) do not equal the amount of english spoken.

    ALSO in Philippines we always used IRAQ not IRAK. so your list may be wrong...
    Spanish as a first language: 350 million.
    English as a first language: 340 million.

    The point would stand regardless. Being an asshole because someone spells the name of a country differently is easily and reasonably explainable as the name being spelled that way in their first language. Especially when the it's unambiguous which country it is. Pence is unquestioningly a Dominionist, as are multiple cabinet secretaries. As are actions taken by this Whitehouse, eg: moving the embassy to Jerusalem.

    How surprising an anti-western politician is leading in an area where the majority see the US as a flat out enemy to their country
