That was intense. Americans on the whole are completely clueless about how we are thought of in the rest of the world. And like you said, the dumbasses would stupidly welcome the Chinese coming to kill them.

Here's the really crazy thing. You and the Islamist have much in common. We both want to save the world from the bad guys. But he comes from a culture where revenge and violence are much more acceptable, especially mob violence. He was saying "When the war between good and evil begins and they start killing children, there will be zero mercy on the children of the evil." The culture is so very different from what we are used to. But they seem themselves as the 'real men' because they are willing to fight in these gruesome ways for what they believe to be righteousness. And it may come to that one day. I'd rather be on the same team with people who worship God than with those who worship Satan. But I am willing to die for my faith in Jesus. Muslims, Jews, and Christians have much more in common than Hindus, atheists, Gnostics, and pagans who worship the earth.
