I know exactly what they were about. The Crusades were a series of wars (sanctioned by the Pope Urban II as penance for those who joined the fight) to seize the Holy Sites in Israel seized by Muslims; the Inquisition was the effort by the Catholic church to eliminate religious diversity and opposition to its power over governments; and as for the "Written Word of God", it doesn't exist... religious texts are simply the insane scribblings of madmen and tyrants.

Both religions have a long history of using violence and fear to bend the will and policies of governments in order to control the human race.

America's enemy is a faction of Islam that does not adhere to the principles of the Muslim religion. And yeah... when I see posts on this forum advocating the destruction of a American mosque and suggesting that we be suspect of ALL MUSLIMS, I'm going to call a spade a spade... it's is bigoted ignorance and I'm embarrassed by it. Our enemy is not Islam, it is radical Islamic Fascism.

Terrorism is the fruit, Islam the root.

Catchy phrase, but it's crap. Is the "root" of KKK violence Christianity? They pervert and twist the bible to justify their racial terrorism, so why aren't you condemning all Christians for the actions of a few thousand Klansmen?

"...t's is bigoted ignorance and I'm embarrassed by it. Our enemy is not Islam, it is radical Islamic Fascism."

Islam is innately Evil. It is the Evil and Hate that is the core of Islam that provoked the crusades.

Islam should be wiped from the face of this earth. Islam WILL be wiped from the face of this earth whan it AGAIN provokes retaliation against itself

Your blind (or, perhaps 'nasty') lumping of Judiasim and Christianity (and all the good they have done this earth)together with Islam even as you EXCUSE Islam and it's manifest evil is truly, disgustingly self aggrandizing.

I asked you how many acts of rape and murder The Prince of Peace indulged in or advocated in His lifetime and you responded with a non sequiter. How can "Radical Islam" be radical when it advocates what muhammad advocated and does what muhammad did?

On Aug. 13, the mosque will hold an open house - the first of its kind - at 2 p.m. for non-Muslims to learn more about Islam.

Wish I could go and ask some questions...with follow-ups!

Those were in violation of the word of God, FYI. :)

It is clear to the casual observer that "war in God's name" does not fit into the teachings of Jesus Christ.

The same cannot be said for the sacred texts of Islam.

If America were attacked by terrorists who professed to do it in the name of Islam, whom would you support?

"I can't believe that question - I'm shocked,"

I wonder if he understands that is exactly the choice he will have to make.

I think this is evidence of your instability. No more needs to be said. You may go back to the hole from which you crawled. I'll watch for your killing spree on the evening news.

The first loyalty is to Islam's principle of not harming innocent people, ever. "We're going to be on the side that's just and fair,"

And considering they believe all the world's ills are the fault of jews and infidels, they will terrorize us in heartbeat.

"If America were attacked by terrorists who professed to do it in the name of Islam, whom would you support? "I can't believe that question - I'm shocked," Amonette, open-mouthed, said. "You don't ask that kind of question of other people.""

"The first loyalty is to Islam's principle of not harming innocent people, ever. "We're going to be on the side that's just and fair," he said."

There it is...that is how they justify jihad, beheading, terrorism...killing infidels.

Infidels are NOT innocent so American Muslims can be loyal to islam and be justified in their acts of evil against us! Americans need to wake up, although I fear it is already too late!

These aren't extremists...this is islam!

"I'll watch for your killing spree on the evening news."

Speaking of holes, you seem to ignore what you can't answer in an argument as you look for one to dive thru and escape.

I'll bet in your mind you're the man with the answers, all of them, every one, if only the unenlightened would listen.

Yeah, you got an argument. You excuse all of these imaginary peaceful muslims as the death cult that Islam is does what it has ALWAYS done--destroy, attack, murder.(You still haven't gotten back to me on the question of how many rapes and murders Jesus Christ got up to in His lifetime).

You call crazy anyone who happens to notice that all of your fanciful peaceful muslims are at war with anyone and everyone around them and that as such they are doing exactly what their "prophet" did in his lifetime and said must be done in theirs.

Islam DECLARES ITSELF incompatible with any other philosophy and in a killing war with them while most philosophies simply believe in their own moral superiority and its' living demonstration

You know what they are and you're scared of them. So you demonize their enemies. That reaction has a big history in the second half of the twentieth century in America.

Call me crazy but I see you as a self deluding, scared little man.

That is the only sort of person who could have missed the killing spree Islam brought to America. (You remember, the one that accounted for more dead than the Imperial Japanese Navy's attack on Pearl Harbor).

I never answer you because it's a stupid question.

You speak in absolutes (i.e., ALL Muslims). People who speak in absolutes usually spout their points from a well of ignorance, and you have proven to be no exception.

Did I say Islam is peaceful? Nope, not once. But Christianity and Judaism are not peaceful religions either. How many women and children did your thug Christian God have murdered in the Bible? And, since the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are all the same God, that makes Jesus a murdering punk as well. You need a lesson or two in reading comprehension. Man's insistence on using myth and religion to control people is our biggest failure. I do not excuse Islam, I condemn it as strongly as I condemn Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, and every other religion that attempts to use the fear of a make-believe God to manipulate and control human beings.

The point I made was that Christianity has just as violent a history as Islam. You are a perfectly disgusting example, advocating the elimination of over a billion people from the face of the earth based on their religion. It seems we've dealt with your kind before. You are guilty of the same zealous desire that Radical Islamofascists have to murder people because they don't worship God the way you do. You are guilty of advocating a "Final Solution" to the 'Muslim problem'. It's shameful and sickening, and you need not reply to this post because yours will be ignored in the future.

Have a nice day, mine Führer!

"How many women and children did your thug Christian God have murdered in the Bible?"

And here we have it. You put God on level with men. If you don't know the difference between God Almighty and a human being then stupidity is something with which you are intimately acquainted.


"And, since the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are all the same God, that makes Jesus a murdering punk as well."

I seem to have hit a nerve, little man. Not only do you try to offend by calling Jesus a murderer and a punk but your anger\stupidity have you ascribing earthly deeds to Jesus of which He was not guilty.

" You need a lesson or two in reading comprehension. Man's insistence on using myth and religion to control people is our biggest failure. I do not excuse Islam, I condemn it as strongly as I condemn Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, and every other religion that attempts to use the fear of a make-believe God to manipulate and control human beings."

Gee, does that make Jesus a make believe murdering punk?

""The point I made was that Christianity has just as violent a history as Islam."

Only if you WANT it to, need it to, to support you sad self absorbed God-hating little world view.I'll ask again since you stress comprehension so much: How many murders and rapes did Jesus commit or advocate in His time on earth?

"You are a perfectly disgusting example, advocating the elimination of over a billion people from the face of the earth based on their religion."

Speaking of twisted: You lie. I advocate a RESPONSE if PROVOKED. I also indicated confidence that the provocation would come.(Wasn't it you who mentioned something about "comprehension")




"It seems we've dealt with your kind before." You are guilty of the same zealous desire that Radical Islamofascists have to murder people because they don't worship God the way you do."

Ahhhh, we're getting closer here: And WHAT is the MAJOR difference between the way I worship and the way Islam worships? (Don't strain too hard here, your head may explode)


"You are guilty of advocating a "Final Solution" to the 'Muslim problem'.""

And when your mean little mind is out of your unique brand of wildly illogical angry invective drag in Adolph Hitler and the boys.


"It's shameful and sickening, and you need not reply to this post because yours will be ignored in the future.""

Don't suggest to me what I should or should not reply to. P.S. Practice grabbing the old ankles, Dhimmie appeaser.

I know the difference. One is real, and one is make-believe.

Practice grabbing the old ankles, Dhimmie appeaser.

And you still don't get it, moron. I am not APPEASING. Islamic fascism should be destroyed, completely.

YOU take it to an revolting extreme when you advocate eliminating a billion people because of their religion, and so you don't backpedal and say I am misrepresenting your position, I will quote your very words:

Islam is innately Evil. It is the Evil and Hate that is the core of Islam that provoked the crusades. Islam should be wiped from the face of this earth. Islam WILL be wiped from the face of this earth whan it AGAIN provokes retaliation against itself

"and you still don't get it, moron. I am not APPEASING. Islamic fascism should be destroyed, completely. "

"Moron" The man with such grand wisdom that he dismisses the prophets and sages of all of Judaism and Christianity is calling another person "moron". Geez, I'da guessed you were bigger than that. Well, they just don't make sages like they used to.

Your appeasing is of the defacto variety. Since you fail to realize that Islam and "Islamic fascism" are one and the same thing.

You can call Jesus Christ a "punk" (wise men didn't used to use phrases like that either)but there are many places you won't call Mohammad that, not even if you get really good at grabbing your ankles.

That's a BIG difference between Christianity and The DeathCult Islam. There is no place in this world where Islamics are as much of the population as Christians are here (80% or some such) that you can say such a thing of muhammad but you did it with impunity in Christian America and you won't suffer for it.

But none of this means anything to you, wise man, does it. It all goes right over your hate filled head.

Now, go look up the word "provoked" and then its use in the phrase "will provoke" What don't you understand about it?

If a people or religion attack with weapons of mass destruction other religions simply for being "infidels" you don't think wiping them off the face of the earth is called for?

In all those billion or so muslims out there NONE take or make a stand to save their religion from your few "fanatics". That is because they agree. If they didn't they have more than numbers enough to stop your so called "fanatics". But they can't, it goes against their very grain; the fundamental command of their Cult: Death or Dhimmitude to the Infidel.

Wasn't the Catholic JFK asked about allegiance to America or the Pope?

Yes. And he was able to give a good enough answer that Americans elected him President, didn't we?
