I

  had  never  known  that  much  about  Islam.  Raised  as a  Christian,

obviously I knew there had been religious conflicts for centuries.  I

knew about the Crusades, and I knew that there had been fighting

and atrocities forever.

But  I  also  knew that  Christianity  had  evolved  from  the  Middle




Ages. We don’t kill people because they’re a different religion.

The  people  we  were fighting in Iraq, after Saddam’s army fled

or was defeated, were fanatics. They hated us because we weren’t

Muslim. They wanted to kill us, even though we’d just booted out

their  dictator,  because  we  practiced  a  different religion  than  they

did.


Isn’t religion supposed to teach tolerance?

P

eople say you have to distance yourself from your enemy to kill

him. If that’s true, in Iraq, the insurgents made it really easy.

The  fanatics  we fought  valued  nothing  but  their  twisted

interpretation  of  religion. And  half the  time  they  just 

claimed

  they


valued  their religion—most didn’t even pray. Quite a number were

drugged up so they could fight us.

Many of the insurgents were cowards. They routinely used drugs

to  stoke  their  courage. Without  them,  alone,  they  were  nothing.  I

have a tape somewhere showing a father and a girl in a house that

was  being  searched.  They  were  downstairs; for  some  reason,  a

flash-bang went off upstairs.

On  the  video,  the father  hides  behind  the  girl,  afraid  that  he’s

going to be killed and ready to sacrifice his daughter.
