We can't lose OUR god-mandated right to white Christian leadership. ANYONE BUT BARRY!!!
These 2 guys, Ahmed Mohamed Nasser al Soofi and Hezam al Murisi, might be Muslims.
I know call me crazy. However had they might of been Tea Party people Bobby would have thrown down the gauntlet and we would hear about it all over the internet. Those racist bigoted tea party people - I won't stand for it, but hey Islam is cool in spite of thousands actually proveable signs of violence and extremism.
Embrace Islam! Celebrate Diversity!
nadvertising, i see where u r going, but i think it's amusing that obama is almost as white as he is black (in terms of the dna that his parents provided) and the man has professed on many occasions that he is a practising christian.
yet the hard right nutjobs (hey pistol pete) would have u believe something entirely different.
Actually Pistol, the world would be a much better place without both right wing teabaggers and islamic extremists. Note that islamic extremists represent a tiny, tiny subpopulation of the 1.5 billion muslims on the planet. Just as Christian nutjob murderers who kill abortion providers respresnt an extremely small minority of Christians in the world. I realize that as a right wing conservative you probably have no way to comprehend what I just wrote. Just read slowly and stick with it.
WWW - I belive that Obama beleives in Liberation Theology - a perversion of christianity that beleives in Collective Salvation which is what Marxism did to get into the Church.
Jerimiah Wright was his pastor for 20 years and that is what he preaches. Sadly Obama is havign a hard time findng a Liberation Theology Church near the White House - or maybe he'd just rather golf every Sunday.
Jerimiah Wright, James Cone and Cornel West have worked to incorporate Marxist thought into the black church, forming an ethical framework predicated on a system of oppressor class versus a victim much like Marxism.
Pete do you ever go back and read what you just wrote? Do you have any idea how stupid you sound? I come on here less and less because i cant stand reading this moronic shit. At least Oy Dave and Dale C sometimes made sense. Your conspiracy theories have gotten out of control. My theory is that you are a born again christian who once had a problem with drugs and alcohol. It is the only thing that could explain your complete lack of critical thinking and willingness to believe whatever you are told. Plus the years of drinking and drugs could explain the stupidity.
Edge - which post are you talking about? Obama does beleive in Liberation Theology how could he not he sat in that church for 20 years? I am ok with that. I don't like Obama for his policies. Personally he is probaly a good guy but I can't disagree more on his policies. The stimulus package cost us more than the entire war on terror.
Driveby - When Jews or Christians commit acts that are heinous they are condemned by Jews or Christians. Jews or Christians do not ask to build a place of worship at the place where said abortion doctor was killed.
Only Islam builds a mosque on top of the holiest place of another religion and then name a terrorist army (the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade) after it.
The silence of the Muslims here and abroad after atrocities committed in the name of their God and their refusal to condemn by name those who commit them is both telling.
1% of 1.5 billion equals 15 million. We'll call it a few million, since you'll say 1% is high. That's a few million insane homicidal religious fanatics. Please check my math, I had a dishonorable discharge from Ga. Tech.
Eric Rudolph and Timothy McVeigh were/are insane but to say they and others like them are comparable to this Islamic Supremacist movement is nuts.
No, they're not the same. Only one is a threat on a worldwide scale here in 2010. I hate it. I don't want to have to be suspicious of people I wasn't suspicious of twenty years ago. Now tell me WTF am I supposed to do?...to quote KRS-One.
Why do you never list the Unabomber, the Weathermen, Commander Cinque, Earth First or animal liberation nuts when you proudly list non-Islamic terrorists?
ok, add them to the list.
add yourself to the list if you'd like. makes no difference to me. reactionary doesn't necessarily mean fundamentalist but it's a fine line.
either way- fundamentalists are all the same. all of them represent a threat to our way of life.
oydave, If you want to kill muslims you can do so legally and in an acceptable manner, by joining the army (or corporations like blackwater). My ex-roommate was an extreme muslim hater, he used to talk about how he just wanted to "kill Mohammads" (his words, not mine). Guess what, he enlisted. More muslim civilians have died in the past 5 years at the hands of christains than vica versa (and before you say its different because "we are in a war and there are always civilian casualties"-- guess what, they think exactly the same thing). I am certainly not suggesting most people in the army are like him, probably only a small percent. I guess its one of those things we will never know.
I am not your ex-roommate.
Where do you get from my post that I want to kill all Muslims?
I'm for whacking the "tiny fraction" who are rabid insane religious maniacs attacking non-Muslims all over the globe. I think there are many Muslims of a modern mindset who share this goal.
What is you solution to Islamic Supremacy? Ignore it?
oydave, I did not mean "you" personally. I was just responding to your suggestion in this post and others that extremist USA-Christians do not have a support structure and so are not dangerous. The army is their support structure, if they so chose it to be. They get high level training and equipment and sent out on war just like extremist Muslims do. Again, I know I am walking a fine line and I dont want to in any way disrespect the majority of our troops who join to serve our country honorably. But there are at least a fraction who join because they want to conquer and kill Muslims.
Whats the difference between an extremist christian who joins the army, gets trained and equipped, and sent of to war against the immoral Taliban and its allies. Just like the extremist muslims who join the "islamic army", get trained and equipped, and sent off the war against the immoral (in their viewpoint) USA and its allies. To say that 'extremist Christians' dont have an organized support structure is ignoring probably the biggest support structure in the world.
By the way, you ask me my solution to islamic supremacy. What is yours? You never have mentioned anything that can be conceived as a solution. You make the same "some muslims have propensity towards violence" comments without offering any thread of a solution.
I certainly dont think that assuming hostile attitudes towards Imams and/or mosques that have assisted the CIA in the past is helpful (such is the case with the NY mosque). Do you? I think part of the solution involves fostering relationships with moderate mosques that have shown propensity to cooperate with the government. Do you agree?
Obviously a "full answer" to the 'solution' to Islamic/US tensions would be a book, not a CL comment and I have no idea what that answer would entail.
Montoya I think we are moving forward towards coexistence and that it will just take a long time to get there as we butt heads and fail to find common ground. Islam needs reform movements much like Christianity had to do which took hundreds of years. Islam's age of a religion is several hundred years behind Christianity.
Most people are vengeful and when attacked - attack back. When we lose a freind, relative, etc...to acts of violence we typically want justice.
I like your view it is extremely peaceful and uptopian and will just take lots of searching for commonality, acceptance, education and tolerance (not political correctness) to get there.
