Stop insulting Judaism and Christianity, Mr. President

If you think it's important to know who started describing Islam as a religion of peace and love then probably
you find the words "first, last, smallest, largest and ever recorded" especially interesting then: you might want to read and have your say here

Saudi Arabia, as I've been saying forever, is the single worst Kingdom/country on the earth.

We MUST stop sucking up to them and finally tell it like it is. Iraq was nothing compared to SA, in my opinion.

If the other religious groups mentioned owned the Middle Eastern oil, they could blow up buildings in New York and still get honored with a White House dinner attended by oil corporation stockholders. It's a joke alright... Still laughing?

Making some major assumtions there aren't you?
OBL and his gang of murders do not speak for the vast majority of Muslims.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

Major assumptions?

Read the Koran, study some 7th-century and 8th-century history, and Saudi Arabian jurisprudence. Then get back to us on this. W's Stockholm Syndrome cuddling with Muslims is not all that... illuminating. Charles Martel had a more intelligent strategy for dealing with barbarism.

Doesn't that guy in front of the fireplace look like one of Sadams sons? Did we really get him?

"It is easy to fly into a passion--
anybody can do that--
but to be angry with the right person and at the right time and with the right object and in the right way--
that is not easy, and it is not everyone who can do it."
Aristotle

Ho hum. More drivel.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

Closet Averroist? Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

I prefer the tradition which produced and has maintained the Aquinas version of Aristotle. You know, about a "little mistake in the beginning being a big one in the end." Along with not cutting women's heads off any more. I'll keep that one, thank you. Talking about passion and anger getting people out of control.

Good grief. Get obsessed with a new topic. You'll feel better.

I can only hope that this strategery of the President's is one of keeping the enemy close

There is no strategery here. Just stupidity. And sheer cowardice.

[lainde]

sigh...

Actuallly I don't know that much about Aristotle. This quote is just something I ran across a while ago and it seems to me to be appropriate for these kinds of threads. It seems to me that one of the first things a person (or nation) should do is figure out just who the enemy is.

Get obsessed with a new topic. You'll feel better.
Hey everybodys got to have a hobby, it's not like I have a life or anything. :-)

There's too much relativism in American society. As a point of order, the Christian orientation of Western civilization ought to be embraced and promoted. To acknowledge that Christianity is by far preferable to Islam, that Western culture is more dynamic and tolerant than despotic Middle Eastern tyrannies seems like common sense. The countries which have allowed uninhibited immigration from non-Christian/non-Western countries have mutilated their own civilizations. This starts with cultural and moral relativism. All cultures are not equal. Liberals tend to go out of their way to venerate and apologize for anything non-Christian. This is puerile. Destructively so.

England, France, Spain, or Italy are much better places to visit than Saudi Arabia or Iran. Or at least they used to be. It has something to do with the Christian element in Western civilization. To invoke the Western language of "fairness" and "tolerance" (or "freedom"!!!)to defend Islam is so absurd as to defy explanation. One can be sorry if this hurts someone's feelings. They ought to be more sorry about those tortured, blown up, or who have had their heads lopped off by crazy Muslim regimes.

It took Western countries a long period - centuries - of Christian development to get to the point in manners, culture, and religious morality, to understand that certain types of behavior are barbaric, savage, cruel, and unacceptable. We have been taking steps backwards in recent decades under the influence of secular humanism, liberalism, and moral relativism. We don't need any more smarmy anti-Christian social engineering. We need leaders who are intelligent enough, educated enough, and courageous enough to promote the Christian civilizational heritage which is the source of greatness in the West. Some people will be offended. That's tough. They were attracted to the West (and America) precisely for those excellences and qualities which derive from the Christian heritage - including not chopping their heads or hands off, having free intelligent discussions of things like Aristotle, and assorted other goodies of the Western tradition.
