wow, has this become the pick your terrorist team forum,,,,,smh...

Checking on children and their homes dont have a choice if its your job and petition usually they will listen to what you have to say if you assure them you aren't there to cause harm......

And we have freedom of religion in the US, which means everyone has a right to their own beliefs and cultures in this country. What makes it okay for Christianity to tell others they are wrong or to kill for it? Just because our laws are that way does not mean its right for us to go into the rest of the countries to tell them what they do is wrong or right. Who gave anyone the right to say what others do is right or wrong? I dont see the Lord Almighty here stating that the Muslims are incorrect in their determinations on Muhammad was the last prophet and therefore beliefs to be kept or thrown out, nor do I hear or see any proof that Jesus was the son and mesiah, as the Jewish do not believe. The Jewish believe the mesiah is yet to come and Jesus was a very holy man. So in the context of looking at three very differing opinions and the RIGHT to FREEDOM OF RELIGION DO WE HAVE THIS WAR? Is this whole war biased and based on the beliefs of christianity? Is there not seperation of church and state? And really what is the definition of serperation of church and state in the US? Not saying I agree or disagree with varying opinions in this thread

Please do us all a favor and read "The Principles of Rule." This unfortunately is how humans operate.

The only thing terrorists understand is a reason to be more scared of the people they are trying to terrorize!

,,and,,,

If you have you would understand a lot more than you are letting on to. Look, you ride both sides of the fence on the ideals of religious freedom. Allowing unbridled freedom of ANYTHING is asking for trouble. When a religion is inherently violent it tramples the principles of our constitution. You seem to not face the facts as presented to you that Islam is dangerous to anyone not choosing their way. Should Islam be allowed in our country. Knowing what I know about them now, NO!

I could give a rats azz less how peaceful anyone is when their religion is based on such hateful and domineering method. The very basis of Islam tramples our constitution in so many ways and yet here you are telling us to be tolerant of a religion that will not tolerate us. When they have superior numbers and strength they will try to purge us all, just like the Holy Roman Catholic Church tried circa 200AD to 600AD, the Christian's real Era of Blood. Their religion propagates bloodshed and warfare. Christianity does not. This is coming from a NON-Christian. They will talk you to death but that is it.

If you cannot see what Islam is in its roots then you may not be as educated or illuminated as you seem to think. it is unsafe embracing an enemy as a friend. It is worst having to let them live among us. Islam seems to not do more than impose third world mentality and drags nations down. How many "Islamic" countries really are doing any better than 3rd world? Iran? Sharthole! Somalia? HA HA! Saudi Arabia? Please, its like Las Vegas. The strip is all pretty but the rest of it? Most of Saudi Arabia is an arm pit in a desert. the only reason they are second world is Oil and Money. If they didn't have oil they would have NOTHING! Arabia went into the toilet the day the King became Islamic. Iran under the Shaw was going somewhere but when the Ayatollah took over... FLUSH! Swirley swirley swirley swirley GLURK! Now they want nuclear power? For what? So they can make weapons and threaten Israel? Listen to the Rhetoric coming from Iran and tell me Islam is our friend!

Duoh!

save it, it has little to do with intelligence or reading, people interpret religious books the way they choose to

I recall the same CRAP justification being given for not allowing minorities to live amongst white folks


'oh, look at the destruction they bring'

as if there is some racial or religious monopoly on destruction


trust me, as a Christian, I feel I have a connection with Christ but I dont feel that that connection gives me the authority to decide who else will or wont be in Gods grace,,,,,and certainly doesnt give me just cause to label strangers as enemies because of the religious label they choose to fall under,,,


rarely are people EXPERTS on the religion they hate or adhere to, and choose instead to pick and choose which verses support their particular opinion

LIKE THE BIBLE, I could research to find the context and history in which fighting with non believers and even killing them was justified
and I could use that as PROOF that both these religions were evil

likewise, I could research to find the context and history in which such fighting was not MANDATED and was actually shown to be LESS preferrable than peace, this is the interpretation I have of the bible, and it stands to reason the interpretation many muslims have about their Qu ran

and regardless to what they may believe(which only God knows someones heart) , if they are acting within the laws of the land,, its not really anyones business to persecute them(them= christian OR muslim)

they did the labeling when they crashed 5 planes into buildings here

ooooorah moe

and what did Israel do with the attack on Lebanon,,,? with the SUPPORT of the US


I challenge someone to research what religion STARTED this 'war' , which action superceded ANY other,, so I can join the trend and pick a side,,,,

as far as i'm concerned, it was started when they flew 5 planes into buildings and killed 2700 people.

If it takes THAT MUCH effort to perform a simple act like trying to JUSTIFY why you should choose the country that gives you the freedom to spew stuff like 'tolerance' and 'balance' while siding with the ones who would take it from us, then you've already picked a side ...

But we didn't drive planes in to them....we didn't send suicide bombers.....do you not realize the ammount of muslim/islamic lives we have saved from terrorist regimes???? come on now...who started what is irrelevant....who took the feud to a new global level????????????????????????????? I know the answer...every country has allies and people they help....look at us...this is generally an american war...but us Canadians are there helping...are you calling me a terrorist now???? friends help friends. Even through the tough times...and of course...we have to get something out of it...if you dont know these things then you are missing about a hundred years of history in your opinions. I cant take responsibility for what christians did a thousand years ago during the crusades. But we were alive and present for these attacks. And that is why they must be held responsible. It would be different if these middle eastern govts were helping us...but they aren't...IT IS US WHO GAVE THEM DEMOCRACY! What have they given us??

got that, and the muslim extremists think it STARTED when we supported the killing of other muslims and unwelcomed 'occupation' of muslim lands,,,,

like I said, IM sure noone can honestly come up with which side committed the FIRST offense in the muslim-christian saga

I can!!!!!! historical fact...at least as far as documentation can confirm on BOTH sides........The muslims!!! dating back to the roman empire under the rule Marus Commodus Aureilius, and Luscious Verus. Dating back to the battle of carthage and germania.............the muslims supplied boars and siege weapons to the gremanians and the armies of Carthage. Years 161 - 180 if my memory serves......Christianity was born at the death of jesus. Which the jews were responsible for should you believe in christianity. It was the roman emperor Constantine who was a life long pagan that unified rome under one religion. YOU do the research.

lol,, ok, whatever,

keep killing each other over 'religious righteousness', I hope I can survive in the sidelines until I come before the ONE with the authority to judge,,,

again, you are making this something that it isnt.....your perception on this is flawed......I dont care if it is another Christian nation that bombed us......I'd attack them just the same. Muslims attack muslim nations for god sakes....DO we attack other christians??? NO!

the OP was shining light on certain cultural traditions in Afghanistan, part of that excerpt was referring to Islamic tradition,,,,,


I am shining light on the hypcorisy of a culture that still practices the death penalty itself(US) judging the death penalty implemented by other cultures


ie is what it is,,, hypocrisy,,,

you are incorrect.
