When your belief system makes you stupit...

OWEGO -- Army Lt. Gen. William G. Boykin's first words to an audience of about 300 on Friday set the tone for the three-part lecture on current events and military history he will give this weekend at the Owego Treadway Inn. "Do we have any Muslims in here?" he asked. "Who's in here to cause trouble?"

"You need to understand that this is a war of ideology -- it's not a war of Islam versus Christianity," Boykin said. "This is a war of Islam against everybody that is not submitted to Allah. Now because most of the world is Christian, it falls out that most of the people who are under persecution, or the targets of Islam, are Christians."

"I have no resentment, no animosity towards them because I know that they're living under a hall of darkness," Boykin said, "and I know that the ultimate resolution to this is to take the gospel to them, to bring light to them."


This guy leaves me wondering who would be next if he managed to somehow defeat Islam. This is a guy who served at the highest levels of our military and civilian government despite being utterly blinded by his ideology. The imaginary world he lives in is leaking into our physical world, what can we do about it?
