you tend to miss a lot of this sort of stuff when you don't talk to Muslims and get to know how they think, and what their moral code is.

So there are good Muslims. Does it make burning people alive, making young girls sex slaves, beheading people because they are not Muslim any the more palatable?

of course not, nor does it make their actions in any way Muslim

Who says the actions are not Muslim? You? Or a Muslim cleric?

Christians who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Thread summary...Muslims are awesome...Christians are evil.

If you are wondering how the guy was able to come up with such a ominous sounding quote, it is because he has lots and lots of time to think it over.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is a militant held by the United States at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp under terrorism-related charges.

Thread summary. All religions can spout extreme ideals, not just one. And Khalid Sheikh Mohammed has been detained for 14 years without a trial. I think he's getting a little pissed off.

thanks, TC.......I thought there was some sort of bad translation or something with the prior summary.

So Timothy McVeigh was shouting "Glory to God" when he committed the act? I notice your link doesn't mention the terrorist act by the govt. at Waco. TC, when you can show me something comparable to Christians marching 300 Muslims down to the ocean and beheading them...you might make have a point.

What? Shouting "Glory to God" is now a required phrase in order to be labeled an extremist? That's rich. Killing people for your religion doesn't need a house "statement".

Any religion, can have their repressive or extremist side. It's human nature. In fact, I prefer Christians when they're not repressive to those who aren't believers, although I've had some pretty good Muslim cooking. Your favored tribalism is showing woody. As for Mohammed, if we claim to be a land of laws, he has a right to have a trial, as reprehensible as the man is, or we've sunk to his level of immorality.

Shouting Glory o God would show how they were using Christianity to promote their act. Sorry you didn't catch my drift. And Christians would be the first to denounce someone if they did.

Please show me how I am favoring one side when only posting factual accounts. Perhaps your favored tribe are Muslims?

howzabout we don't have a 'favorite tribe' at all?

Really woodchip? What about the Christian symbol of the Cross being used and worn as a badge of honor for a currently very active hate group in THIS country? A group who has a history of murdering people when wearing that Cross on their "uniforms" and by burning that Cross on the lawns of people who aren't white Europeans?

I agree. Also, howzabout we don't have a preferred tribe in this country that whines or gets politically active against those other tribes when they don't worship the same deity as they do?

You first.

I belong to no religious tribe, other than being a citizen of the United States, a citizen who has to hear all the whining and bitching from our main religious tribe's supposed lack of religious freedom, which really means they would like the freedom to discriminate and marginalize others they don't like.
