At it's very roots, it's essential being, Islam is violently intolerant and incompatible with everyone who is not Muslim
Thanks for proving my point with your blind fear of Islam. :lol:
I'm just sayin', the truth that our leaders and news media refuse to say out loud.
We are in a war. Everyone who isn't a Muslim vs. everyone who is. Period. I don't give a **** how "moderate" the Muslims are or how assimilated, they are...
We are in a ****ING WAR. Believe it or not
The Muslims are simply exploiting an available weakness. I can't fault them for that strategy. We do the same to our enemies. We try to determine their weaknesses and exploit them to our advantage. That's simply war and life in general.
What about a bacon sammich joint?
Thanks for proving my point with your blind fear of Islam. :lol:
No you are at war with everyone who is Muslim. Not everyone. I know plenty of people that aren't at war with Muslims, but are at war with fanatics.
You just compared Muslims to roaches, and yet you want me to take you seriously?
Thanks for proving my point with your blind hatred of Islam. :lol:
Sodomy, adultery, and premarital sex have all been criminalized in the US to various extents. It's been less than ten years since the sodomy laws were held to be unconstitutional.
Adultery is still a criminal offense carrying a potential life sentence in some states.
If you go back far enough, you'll find that the American colonies imposed the death penalty for witchcraft and blasphemy. All these laws were enacted by people who read the same Bible we read. They just interpreted it differently.
To remember the attack? They say their goal is reconciliation between non-Muslims and Muslims. This relationship was badly damaged by that attack, and the groundbreaking ceremony is trying to address that.
You're not analyzing the situation from a rational point of view, with logic, you're colored by emotion. By those you love, admire, and an inability to look at the harsh reality because the conclusions are too terrible to contemplate.
You are too pussified
Wait, so the actions of autocratic, corrupt governments reflect on a religion of 1.2 billion?
Kind of reminds me of the cold war... :lol:
You're not analyzing the situation from a rational point of view, with logic, you're colored by emotion. By those you fear, hate, and an inability to look at the harsh reality because the truth is so much harder to digest than the lie.
You are too funny. :lol:
I know, right? Me too.
And it's the same arguments borne out of fear of the unknown and a twisted view of reality that is completely focused on the exceptions that make headlines, totally disregarding the normal and average harmless majority. I remember when people used to say that all Russians were savages bent on killing us all, and many posts in this thread remind me of that time. I'm willing to bet that not a single one of these people who rant and rail about Islam and Muslims have ever met a single Muslim in real life.
Heres to all of our brothers and sisters who have given their lives against these ****ing pricks.
May you Rest In Peace.
Until people like you quit pandering to their "religious sensibilities" and acknowledge that it is not a religion of peace, it is just going to get worse.
We're not talking about the past, we're talking about the present. How the religion was 500 or 1000 years ago is not too relevant to how it is today.Christianity isn't any more or less a religion of peace than is Islam. Christianity's time in the sun has, for the most part, passed. That, more than any ideological reformation, is why modern Christianity appears to be more peaceful than modern Islam appears to be.
We're not talking about the past, we're talking about the present. How the religion was 500 or 1000 years ago is not too relevant to how it is today.
We live in the 21st century, not the middle ages.
You're neglecting that its peak was during the middle ages or 1500's, or however long ago when we thought the sun revolved around the earth and the earth was flat. We live in a civilized and developed world now. The far past is not relevant to today's actions.History is always relevant.
Christianity has demonstrated its potential to be a violent religion when it had the political power to go along with the ambitions of its leadership.
In truth, today's Islam is significantly less dangerous than Christianity at its peak, primarily because it is decentralized.
You're neglecting that its peak was during the middle ages or 1500's, or however long ago when we thought the sun revolved around the earth and the earth was flat.

I'm not defending Christianity in the past, in the crusades they were violent. But that is done now and it is not relevant to today. What we are looking at is how are the religions today.
How does that excuse the severe lack of religious freedom in Muslim dominated countries? It doesn't.
And the differences between Sunni and Shia Muslims have NOTHING to do with Islam's stance on non believers, women or religious text that bare any point to the discussion here:
Shia Muslims believe that the Imam is sinless by nature, and that his authority is infallible as it comes directly from God. Therefore, Shia Muslims often venerate the Imams as saints and perform pilgrimages to their tombs and shrines in the hopes of divine intercession.
Sunni Muslims counter that there is no basis in Islam for a hereditary privileged class of spiritual leaders, and certainly no basis for the veneration or intercession of saints. Sunni Muslims contend that leadership of the community is not a birthright, but a trust that is earned and which may be given or taken away by the people themselves.
What's the Difference Between Shia and Sunni Muslims?
texmaster said:Yet not a single Muslim country has a majority of people in ANY poll where Bin Laden is considered evil.
There goes your theory.
texmaster said:And you being the Bin Laden supporter ignore the fact that we pulled out of Saudi Arabia before the Afgan invasion and he still attacked nor were we in Iraq. Your excuses for Bin Laden's claims for justification are truely pathetic.
texmaster said:How about we read what Bin Laden told his followers about the real reason he attacked us.
In 2003 on the first day of the Muslim holy celebration of Eid al-Adha, the Feat of Sacrifice, he began a sermon:
"Praise be to Allah who revealed the verse of the Sword to his Servant and messenger in order to establish truth and abolish falsehood."
What does the verse of the Sword say?
Fight and slay the pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war)."
texmaster said:Bin Laden's supporters like you who soak up his lies about his justification for attacking can always find an excuse to continue the murder of Americans.
You give Bin Laden his power. Terrorist supporters like you who justify attacks on Americans by believing what the terrorists claim in speeches to the West while ignoring the speeches they give to their own people which reveals the true justification for attacking the West.
Yeah, you're neglecting that part in your argument, which is why your argument is false, not neglecting that piece of information. Of course I wouldn't expect you to understand this, otherwise you would be able to properly respond to arguments.No, actually, I'm not neglecting any such thing. I sorta figured you would know that, so I didn't mention it. Sorta like how I didn't that the sky is blue.
Anybody who actually believes that is a complete fool.
History never stops being relevant when the subject is human nature and ambition.
How is this relevant to Islam, violence, and the 21st century? It's not. You're just stating the same irrelevant sentence over and over.Actually, what I'm looking at is what you get when you combine religious organizations with political power, regardless of when in human history the two came together.
The end result is always violence.
