Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Wow...
The majority of these posts were not what I was expecting. Breaks my heart.
I pray for peace in all hearts, open eyes, open minds, and the ability to see the real enemy.

I, like most thinking individuals, initially judge many things, if not all things based on appearance.Originally Posted by Irving
It's called discernment.
What is "the real enemy?"
Seriously? How about you tell me?
I'd love to believe that the hatred of Islam was nothing more than simple close mindedness on the part of "dumb bubbas in the west" ... but you read their Qu'ran and Hadiths and look at the example of their Prophet and you will realize that the absence of peace, closed eyes and closed minds are in the Madrassas and Mosques, not here. Then you'll see who the real enemy is.
Islam creates a huge problem for a pluralistic and tolerant west. It puts us in the position where we have to choose between the higher ideals of tolerance that western civilization is frankly built upon, and simple survival. The problem is that some people just simply can't be "gotten along with". Nothing wrong with lamenting that we're forced into this position, but in your quest to maintain those higher ideals of western civilization, don't fall int to the politically correct trap of cultural self hatred.
I don't like this any more than you do.
Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

You "pray for ... the ability to see the real enemy."
Surely you have something in mind.
I'm just curious as to what it is you "see" as "the real enemy," since you brought it up.
"...don't fall int [sic] to the politically correct trap of cultural self hatred..."
Where did I do that?
Do you carry? If so, are you able to determine what is a threat and what is not?
Civility will be recognized and adhered to or this thread will go the way of all things.
