cherokee said:Wow you're sooo right.....:roll:
whats the total number of people you have?
How many countries support them with funding?
So far I only see anti gay crap
Maybe I cant see the "We should rule the world poster"

Yes, I feel the love.

Iriemon said:I think it is safe to say they also do not represent all Christians.
Calm2Chaos said:Except christians aren't detonating terrorist bombs throught the world every single day. The comparison is tough one to make when one set of people back there words up with support of murdering terrorist that are a global problem. And the other are 3 fruitcakes on a corner with a sign. Then go home and watch the 700 club...
Iriemon said:I know my point was a bit subtle, so I will spell it out. The point is not to compare the guys I posted with radical Islamics, although IMO there are probably many traits in common. The point is you cannot take a picture of a few protestors and make implicit deductions that they represent all members of the religion.
Calm2Chaos said:Maybe the religion should take a much larger roll in distancing themselves from these people. Maybe this would help when images like that appear to keep people from jumping to conclusions and sterotypes. Maybe if the billion plus muslims actively purged this scum from there midst it would make the world safer, and make people see islam as a religion of peace instead of a call to die. I have a hard time believing that within this huge community they can't erradicate the terrorist element. If not possible then stop aiding , funding, housing, training, hiding, harboring, and helping them. If these animals go into a city and nobody will give them refuge, or they are spotted and turned over to authorities. It makes everyones life easier. It's a tough call. But when I see images like that... As I said before... Targets of opportunity - missed.
When terroism of this sort is no longer and issue and a pic of an image like this appears I will dismisit as I do the christian guys and the 700 club.
Iriemon said:I figure that because of antagonism between ME and west there is a fair number that support them, to differing degrees. I would also say its a fair guess many do not. It's no more a monolithic group than Christians are.
Calm2Chaos said:Except ...... there are no large groups of chritians killing people world wide in because of there religion. Thats the major sticking point when you try to make a routine comparison of the two as if there similar. Right now one of the two groups has a good size portion of it's "members" killing people in nations all over the world. The other religious groups hold signs on the street corner....... When people from one group kills 100's or 1000's there are streets full of people celebrating. When a person from the other group does something grossly illegal the people people in that religion for the most part condemn and distance there support of him....
Iriemon said:1. Again, my point wasn't to compare Christians and Muslems except to point out that neither is monolithic group.
2. You don't have to go very far back in history to find examples of so-called Christians slaughtering groups of people because they belong to other religions. Or even other sub-groups of Christians.
Calm2Chaos said:And how far back do we have to go to find this example on the terrorist scale of today?
ProudAmerican said:There is a huge difference in a group that is terrorist, and happens to be Christian, and a group that is terrorist BECAUSE it is muslem.
muslems do what they do because the quran commands it. I dont know of any particular book in the Bible the IRA followed.
if I missed it, enlighten me.
