GWAAHAHAHAHAA!!!! ZYPHLIN SMASH!
Why why why why why why WHY do people continue with this idiocy. Do people not think to do an OUNCE of actual research at all?
Lets go over this again folks and show why the McVeigh comparison is idiotic to bring up
It is not hard or difficult in the least to show that the reason the 9/11 attacks did what they did, how they did it, and to whom they did it to was tied either directly to their religion or tied to political beliefs that are held in part due to their religious ones. It is absolutely neigh-impossible to connect McVeighs attack directly to him being a fervent christian or to political views based on him being a fervent christian...in large part because he was far closer to an athiest than a christian let alone and EXTREMIST christian.
Does that make those that attempt to portray all muslims as extremists right? Absolutely not. But people being ignorant of history and facts surrounding an event and a person and attempting to use horrible analogies to prove a point is not right either regardless of your intent in using such absurd arguments.
You miss the point that I am trying to make. Yes, the hijackers who killed americans were Muslims but so are thousand of american citizens who truly loves ther country and practice their faith peacefully. Just because the hijackers share the same faith as those who live peacefully doesn't give no one the right to put them all in one basket. It is sad that political pundits and office holders continue to demonize the Muslim faith for ratings and points.
The Christian faith keeps getting black eyes from negative publicity of certain priest and ministers behavior. Also, extreme Christian churches protesting at funerals. People see this and believe that they represent our (Christian) point of view. Thus resulting to a bitter taste in their mouth toward Christianity. resulting to many leaving the church.
This is why I am sympathetic to Muslim, because as a Christian, I know how it feels to be place in the same bucket with extreme members of my faith.
