What pray tell was that outburst about?

Christians have always been permitted to bear arms in the wars of a duely constituted civil authority (the impediment in the days before Constantine was a requirement that legionaires perform pagan sacrifices), though from the day of St. Basil the Great, at least, there were penances on those who actually shed blood, and our clergy were not permitted to bear arms.

And however do you see that staking out a position on the degree to which those who accept the false teachings of Mohammed are obliged to put into practice the most violent face-value interpretation of those teachings--a matter of considerable policy importance for the conduct of the wars currently waged by America's duely constituted civil authority, wars which represent the defense of both what is left of Christendom and its secularize post-Christian remnants--makes one less Christian?

the vast majority of posters in this sick thread--blithely asserting that 'the only good muslim is a dead muslim'--stain Christianity, America & FR by their association with us

do they renounce the Constitution that justifies abortion, or just what some have made of it?

it's not our muslim friends' restraint from following the qu'ran that we rely on but a human conscience to see each in the other's position (the Golden Rule)

conscience and Jesus' teachings are utterly lacking in the posters to whom i refer
