what a misleading thread title.
It is nothing about america adopting any form of sharia. It is about trying to teach their troops to show the proper respect when they are on operations in islamic countries. Which seems eminently sensible considering lasts weeks problems due to them not understanding those sensibilities.
You and others are constantly demanding that immigrants accept our standards, but seem unwilling to extend that courtesy to people in other countries.

Sorry to disagree, but I find this absolutely appalling!! I would love to know what some Constitutional scholars would have to say about this mandatory reverence and deferential treatment of religion not one's own, I don't give a damn military or not. This damn book I am sick of it! The ONLY reason that I can see for this double standard is that Muslims are violent and uncivilized who at the drop of a hat will kill to prove that they are superior. Is the level of violence that followers of one certain religion are willing to do now the standard for how the rest
of us must behave? What?

We are at war what part of that does one not understand. Can we imagine giving respect to Mein Kampf during the last global conflict? As far as I can see Islam and its followers completely believe they are

superior to all other religions and every time they see us on our bellies crawling so as NOT to offend that opinion is re-inforced in their minds. The more deference that we show them the more convinced they are that the violence against the infidel should continue.


Son of gun, the Muslim are motivated by hate and passion for their beliefs, what the hell do we have? They are not going to win this struggle we are going to lose it.

Sorry. don't mean to offend you, but it has always been my opinion that we should not expect men and women in the military to become diplomats, we should not expect to see them bowing and scraping to the same people who in the next instant may shoot them dead. The military has a job to do, that job is difficult enough and could very well cost them their lives, and now they have to also worry about how they treat a damn book? Our cultures demands that we put human life over the printed page. When I see Islam respecting others and their religions maybe I will feel differently, but I doubt it....war means that a lot of people die and it also means that a lot of things get broken that's why it should be avoided.

Sorry Mystic, that philosphy cost the yanks the Vietnam war, you need to learn from History, they also did not respect and cost them thousands of lives, where as you look at British forces in conflicts used a much better approach of respecting the people they had come to help and guess what it worked.

You are misunderstanding me Didge, there should be no boots on the ground in these backward uncivilized nations. There should be no such thing as "winning hearts and minds" or nation building. Afghanistan chose to harbor terrorists who have killed and threatened the world around them. The country should have been leveled from the air. End of story. Then the Afghans could have put all of their energies into rebuilding or going further back in time whichever they chose. How many of our military would not have been killed or maimed for this nebulous concept called peace?? There would have been NO need for sensitivity training and we could have saved ourselves a boat load of money.

Can't believe what I am reading reading really, beggars belief, your philosophy has never won over people by classing them as all one uncivilised nation. It requires time, you would rather we treat them as savages, even though there are those who want to progress. How many would have survived if Bush did not ignore the Taliban who were willing to give up Bin laden in the first place, so please spare me that? It is not about being sensitivity, but repecting being in a nation with a different culture, do you not expect the same when people come to our nations?

You see Didge, call me cruel or whatever I just don't see that any of these people were worth one drop of US or British blood. Take away their every single means of waging war, give them starvation and pestilence, let them know what real terror is, that is what they understand, and we wouldn't have heard from them for at least another hundred years. Works for me...
Well I am sure there are many servicemen and women that would very much disagree with you, when they daily put their lives in the line and feel they are making a difference. Sorry your philosophy would make the whole of the middle east against us, and we do not have enough resources to sustain ourselves and with sky rocketing fuel prices it would not be them but us that end up starving, when we will not be able to sustain ourselves, there would be anarchy. You really need to think things through, before creating a devide in the world that would leave us very much in peril, until we develope other fuel resources, you would leave many western nations grinding to a halt and cause another global recession, that is not what I call clever in the least. if we cannot move forward and find solutions then we are in trouble, it is the far east that is taking over our economies and growing faster than we are, you would ruin our civilisations and turn our nations into anarchy.


Respect? What? Respect? Do you really think that lack of respect is what killed our troops in Viet Nam? Stupid me, here I thought what was killing them was the fact that communism was on the move and the US was attempting to halt its progress. If only they would have known that a little respect would have done the trick maybe 58,000 young men would have lived to reach old age. Damn!

and that has been a big difference between american and british thinking. Hearts and minds are where you win these sorts of wars

america got beat in vietnam by little yellow chaps in pyjamas because they did not win the hearts and minds of the people in the villages of viet nam. The viet cong could not win a single engagement militarily, but it was still they who took over the south. Britains approach has always been to try and get the locals onside and by an large that approach works.

this appears to be guidelines for troops overseas in muslim countries. As we have seen burning copies of the koran has untold consequences in these countries where people hold a lot of store in a book.
Would you prefer more american soldiers be killed because of easily avoided situations.

US troops being killed in Afghanistan because of the book burning?

I suppose up until now the Taliban have Been playing tiddly winks with the troops??

What mind boggling stupidity

There were a lot more reasons why the USA lost the vietnam war than "winning the hearts and minds" of the Vietnamese. Rather than doing a Didge and posting pages of stuff, this simple exam site lists the main ones:

Its the same with Afghanistan and other countries like it. Mystic Moon's right in her post - we shouldn't get involved - we'll never understand their "hearts and minds" because they're fanatics who'll never change. Its an unwinnable mission.

PMSL again this morning, what a wonderrful day, you yanks screwed up very much on their policies in Vietnam, not only on hearts and minds but their bombing policies, so much it turn their on people up in arms over it. You have to understand the culture you are dealing with and the British have done this very well in other conflicts Tessticle. You seem to really have a problem with me and i find that very amusing, don;t forget to take your bitter pill darling this morning!

Well spotted, my mistake, should have said the yanks, as to tess, I just get bored of the constant little digs, i would not mind but I actually argue my points, though sometimes it can be amusing, it is mainly just boring, some people are just very bitter, so I take the piss more out of them when they do !
