I quote, “The world is in flames. We are at war with Islam.” He said. Who is “We?” Is the term “We,” the USA? Who is at war with Islam?
The world of Islam has been in an unending war with civilization since the 14th. Century.
Where does Mr. Smith come from by making such a statement like that? I do not believe that the Blessed Dali Lama would never make a statement to that effect. Mr. Huston Smith is showing a bias against the USA – typical of a UC Berkeley Professor.
The USA as far as I understand its political justification in this current situation is not at an ‘outright’ war with Islam nor the Muslim people. If they are, I haven’t been told. I do not think we’re in another Crusade.
