This is typical propaganda directed at Islam. Growing up in a fundamentalist church, I saw this type of slant used against every other Christian denomination as well.

Didnt you know that Catholic monks and preists rape nuns? Yeah, that is why they have cloistered convents so the public never knows.

Didnt you know that predestination allows Presbyterians to treat people like cattle and exploit them at every opportunity? Yes, this is allowed because if one can do this to them, it means that God ahs predestined them to such treatment.

Didnt you know that Baptists drink, whore and do all kinds of wicked things? YEah, they do it because they all know that God will forgive them anyway since they have said that they accept Christ as Lord.

None of the above are true, of course, but this is what the propagandist can do by selectively reading a religions texts and ignoring how the vast majority actually practice their faith.

Or lets look at what a Muslim might say about Christianity if they took every Christian kook out there as representative of Christianity.

Didnt you know that Christians practice polygamy? Sure look at the Mormons in Utah in the mid 1800s.

Didnt you know that Christians burn witches at the stake, conduct inquisitions, go on Crusades to spread the faith, marry off little girls, their preists are pedophiles, etc, etc, etc?

The author in this thread has no shame in distorting Islam and venting his hatred of it as he does.

This is not going to win hearts and minds anywhere in the Muslim world; he is doing neither himself nor his religion nor his country any favor by spewing this garbage.

He reminds me of the fundamentalist I once heard that claimed that Tolkien was a Satanist, because the elves in his stories were actually demons and presented in a positive form. When asked to explain how he figures Tolkiens elves were devils, he said that we all know that there are two kinds of beings, humans and devils and since Tolkien admits his elves are not humans that can mean that they must be devils.

This kind of 'logic' is pathetic and laughable, and Kellmeyer seems to have it down pat.

It is amazing that anyone still falls for this kind of idiocy.

Heck, in Leviticus, it's commanded that persons who leave the Jewish or (by extension) Christian faith be stoned.

The author is presenting truth against the lies of the Muslim he is interviewing. Truth is not distorting or propaganda directed at Islam.

the difference is that if a Christian is being immoral, committing a terrorist act etc they are violating the Christian scriptures (the bible). If a moslem is being immoral, committing a terrorist act etc, they are following the islamic scriptures (quran and hadith)

Islam is the enemy and rightly so

Facts are not propaganda. The author documented the recent factual events that back up his point about how scattered and broken up Islam is.

You liberals have a real problem dealing with reality and your post only gives evidence of your delusions. In fact liberals have a lot in common with radical Islam.
