Go to ISLAMIST VIOLENCE
- Add a comment
- Go to The Language of Terror
You speak in code, Michael--
To compare today's Islam with yesterday's Christianity is silly. Half a millenium ago Christianity had some serious issues relating to gratuitous violence and use of force to convert non-believers. Today we live in a modern world, and modern Christians (which I am not) no longer practice such barbarity; BUT modern Muslims do – not all, of course, but a large segment. Don't kid yourself for a moment that Islam is benign.
I know of only one Muslim organization that regularly speaks the language of peace, that regularly condems terrorism, and that supports the American effort to wipe out Islamofascism: The Free Muslims Coalition.
If you really want to turn the Islamofascists into friends, please get to the front of the line so you con be their next victim, while I prepare to take them out in order to protect the rest of us.

Can we preach peace and not violence? How can we turn an enemy into a friend?

boy i don't know where to begin
islam is violent. -- Christianity is just as violent. this is sort of like the pot calling the kettle black.
preemptive strikes -- when you know an attack is coming -- when was that? with Saddam Hussein? -- hardly. I think he was a very smart ruler -- knew who not to bother. -- knew it would be disastrous.
bush only wanted to take out Saddam to remove a threat to israel -- that's all -- to pave the way maybe for israel's present military action?
what is see here is you writing in a vacuum -- making statements without checking with people who know -- there about a half dozen people involved with the Moslem religion on Blogit -- you could check with them regarding Mohammedanism.
and the brand of Mohammedanism you mention? If I am correct, that is a rogue faction, small in number and loud, and a lovely target for Christians to brand as exemplarly of the Muslim religion as a whole.
to use that as an example of Mohammedanism is sort of like using Jim Jones as an example of Christianity, isn't it?
I see plenty of propaganda here but not a whole hell of a lot of subtance.
and that's the problem with the issue.
it will only get worse as long as both sides speak from a limited and uninformed point of view.
