This is what they are teaching their children. There's going to be
a big fight brewing and we are not going to be on level ground if
they are starting with the kids.
And we are liberating Irag for what reason?
Really disappointed, I wanted to see Mickey holding a AK47.
Ok, I'll say it, Islam needs to outlawed, period. And don't give me
no stupid [censored] about banning a faith / religion
because it aint one; it's a worldwide military movement hell bent on
one [violent] mission.
I think it's extremism that's the threat, from any faith or ideology.
I personally know some Muslims who are peaceful, loving, "normal"
people. They are just as disgusted by the things done in the name of
their religion as we are. They have as much in common with the
terrorists as your Methodist neighbor does with people blowing up
abortion clinics.
Quoted message said:And if we did make it illegal, do you think that would change anything
except maybe turn some of the moderate Muslims into haters too?
The problem is that moderate Muslims are often too afraid (and for good
reason) to speak out against violence and for peace.
Unfortunately, comparing truly fringe Christian Nuts who blow up abortion
clinics or protest soldier funerals with "God Hates [censored]" signs to the
Radical Islam Movement doesn't fly. The numbers and percentages aren't even
close; nor are the methodologies of their atrocious acts. (The former,
while reprehensible, don't kidnap, torture, taunt, and then videotape the
gruesome executions of their innocent -- or even "guilty" in their minds --
victims.)
The only valid comparison is that both vile groups "justify" their horrid
acts in the name of their "religions". Despicable. But the gap in numbers
and levels of brutality is huge...and growing.
Double Standard: say anything you want about (against) Christians, but draw
a cartoon about Muhammad...
BS
