Actually, minor quibble (well, it's probably not minor to a Muslim, but I'm not a Muslim), Muslims don't believe that Mohammad was the messiah, simply that he was God's final messenger (the "Seal of the Prophets") and that he delivered God's true message, as the Torah and Bible had been corrupted over the centuries, so Mohammad had to put them back on track. This is also why they (theoretically) tolerate Jews and Christians, but not Baha'is since Baha'is, while believing the Abrahamic God, believe in a prophet after Muhammad (bahaullah). The messiah in Islamic theology (or whatever the correct term is) is called "The Madhi", and depending on which brand of Islam one subscribes to, he either hasn't shown up yet or he was the 12th (or 7th, maybe) Imam after Muhammad and is in occultation waiting for the end of the world. Jesus fits in somewhere, too, I think he's, like, the Madhi's partner or something in Islamic theology (IE he comes back, the Madhi shows up and they partner up to fight crime- I mean, the false Messiah).

Back on topic, Palin is.... not very tactful. At all.

Whoops, my bad, thanks for the correction. That's the way I always heard it described.

Since it seems like she is saying that we ought to stay out of it, I actually agree with the sentiment if not the verbiage.

Oh, sorry, I mean "HURR SARA PAILN LOLZ". Edit: damn phone.

I'm pretty sure most Americans would agree with you. We're just pointing out that she said it in the worst way possible. And they wonder why the middle east hates us...

**KalashnikovMarine**

No they don't hate us because Sara Palin is a prat, they hate us because we do the exact opposite of what she's suggesting. We've been sticking our fingers in their cake since the 1970s. That's why they hate us.

Gifted speaker Sarah Palin trotted out her goods Saturday during the Faith and Freedom Coalition Conference, suggesting that the Obama administration stop supplying weapons to Syrian rebels in their fight against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime and "let Allah sort it out." In case you didn't know, that's the second half of the old saying: "Kill 'em all and let God sort ’em out." Earlier this week, the White House confirmed more "direct support" to the Syrian opposition, prompting Palin to question supporting "radical Islamic countries" who are "slaughtering each other as they scream over an arbitrary red line, 'Allah Akbar.'" Palin may or may not be sharpening her tongue for her return to the Fox News Channel pulpit next Monday.

Sounds like an amazingly good idea.

**Lost Boyz**

It's a Shia vs Sunni war - and they have been fighting it since the middle ages... I doubt a small influx of US arms will help that much - so we will have to go BIG or go home. I thought we were 'going home' but apparently not!

I was not upset to watch Nusra (Al Queda) fight Hezbollah. Have at it, fellas... I was curious what the current administration would do with two bad options.

Well more like the 1950's actually.

Anyway, Palin is an idiot she needs to get back to moose watching and changing diapers of her illegitemate grandchild.

1954, actually. But you've got the right idea.

You can't blame Britain's cluster on the United States

but yes the West in general... well a hell of a lot longer then just the 1950s

Well, when Britain asked you to kindly take over what they couldn't handle anymore you went charging in with great gusto. Not that we can really hold that against you, at the time you were pretty new to the whole 'foreign intervention thing' (South America doesn't count).

It's more the sixty years after that, up to and including today, in which you've basically failed to build any kind of coherent, viable and practical understanding of intervention that's been the problem. I mean, lurching between 'we absolutely have to do this right now because of whatever blah blah reasons this particulary issue involves' and 'nope, it's all the way over there and so we won't involve ourselves' just doesn't cut it. Especially when so many of the conflicts that people argue to involve themselves in contain all the same blah blah reasons as the ones you decide you want nothing to do with.

Paris Hilton...dang...she's not dead yet?....reminds me...wonder if I still have that video.....

**xole**

I"m assuming this got off topic so fast because the orifinal message was not impressive, shocking, surprising, or debatable.

Since I don't actually care, Paris Hilton...why. There are so many better humans out there.

Way too bony. Also, she just lays there.

**Tannhauser42**

Funny that Palin says we should stay out of it now, when years ago she claimed it was "God's Will" that we were in Iraq and Afghanistan.

**Ouze**

Well, God is sort of a troll that way. Remember when He told Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry they should run for president? God always puts the lulz first, always.

That's a sexist comment?

Also, I find the ''supporting "radical Islamic countries" who are "slaughtering each other as they scream over an arbitrary red line, 'Allah Akbar.'' part of the comment to be much more insensitive than the "let Allah sort it out" part.

Incorrect, Jesus is actually a prophet for the muslims too. And inversely, generally speaking, the different Christians sects tend to claim that every religion adresses the same, unique divine entity has they do.

The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is the same God that the three abrahamic faiths worship, that much is true.

But YHWH, God, and Allah are also three different approaches and interpretations of the same person. Those interpretations and how people approach Him are the differences and why they are not the same.

I am different now in my 30s than I was in my 20s and in my early teens. I am still the same being, but now the same person.

(Not saying that God has changed in 3000+ years, just that people's interpretations change)

Given that God is described very differently in Islam vs Judiasim/Christianity, its pretty safe to say they are not the same god.

Islam says god is a singular entity. The Judeo-christian god is a Triune being. One god in three distinct persons(Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Each is known by different names but the plurality is what is important)

That is a very major difference which makes them incompatible.
