Communism or Islam?

I prefered Communism as a bad guy. At least with them the tactics of MAD worked with them...

Btw... I realise the ignorance in everything i just typed. Be assured its tongue in cheek. :)

At least the commies lived in the same world as us. Radical Islam totally rejects western rationalism.

Personally my most feared enemy will always be Gargamel. That bastard has more tricks up his sleeves then Inspector Gadget.

The same could be said of all organized religion. ;)

Communism. During the Cold War, both sides were stable, generally rational, and willing to talk; there were no fanatics sneaking inside hotels or buses and murdering innocent civilians like is the case with fundamentalist Islam. When dealing with the Communist bloc, you knew who you were facing and what they wanted.

Now, in terms of raw body count Communism is clearly worse than radical Islam, but it doesn't pose the same faceless threat that radical Islam does.

Commies. Muslims aren't bad enough.

I don't know, "welfare queens" or "black nationalists" were very overhyped threats in the past too. They should be included in the poll, tongue-in-cheek, of course.

As a Left Communist, I'd have to say that the Russian Bolsheviks were a very formidable enemy to have on an ideological stand point. As for Radical Islam, I thinks its just a conjured hobgoblin with little ideological clash or real chance of damage.

I don't consider Islam my enemy.

Communism had style; now it's just a bunch of Che-shirt-wearing angst-ridden teenagers in the US. Not really worth fighting.

We need a new bad guy. How about space aliens?

Philip K. Dick wrote a short story where people colonizing a planet were attacked by aliens that took on the form of their clothes and appliances. Those would be a challenging and scary enemy.

SPOILER ALERT:

If you want to know how the story ends, the colonists are eaten by an alien that took on the form of a rescue ship.

The Communists of the old Soviet Union were badass. Islam as a whole isn't dangerous in itself, only the fundies in this and any other religion can be considered dangerous.

I say there should be a Mafia Akkiance. Now that would be a big baddie.

Communism was worse, apart from the nuclear weapons, it far outstrips radical Islam as far as number of people killed is concerned.
