Yeah, right. I guess that's why Jesus said to render unto God what is God's and Caeser what is Caeser's.
So you argument falls flat right there. Oh - and there is no such passage in the Koran, because Islam seeks to have its religious leaders also be its political leaders.
That's not the argument I was trying to make--If we continue to view followers of Islam as the cartoon of the bearded, wild-eyed fanatic screaming "Jhihad" who wants nothing more than to kill Americans for the sake of killing Americans (because they hate our Freedom or somesuch)or because they just want virgins in the afterlife, we will fail.
I was replying specifically to a certain post, but that may as well apply to the article itself: monolithically (it says) Islam wants to destroy America. Monolithically, Islam opposes democracy. Monolithically, Liberals hate America.
We need to be smarter than this.
As for the line about rendering unto Caeser--the way that I've always understood it, Jesus was speaking about paying taxes & saying that the money is Ceasers--it has his face on it--give it back to him, while the taxpayer is in the image of God & needs to render up to God his life & soul. Love of money is the love of Caeser, love of life is the love of God.
