AND
In western culture the witch burning and inquisitions didn’t swollow up our culture.
Ahh, the old liberal moral equivalence argument. Why are you living the liberal lie? 60-90% of Americans identify themselves as Christian. What percentage of them actually are majority Sunday attenders, believe the Apostles' Creed (or can recite it), and can explain their relationship with Christ.
Adherent Muslims are either terrorists, suicide bombers, sympathizers of both, or will refuse to reject the former. Disagree? Name the moderate Islamic organization that is fighting to be the voice of Islam. Therefore, it doesn't really matter, does it, if every Mo doesn't wear a TNT belt? The West will begin winning the "WOT," in a longterm and meaningful way, once these facts our recognized publicly.
With regards to the inquistion/witch burning, you are comparing apples and oranges: Afterall, there is quite a bit of difference between Islamist killing Westerners, and Westerners killing their own. I hope you recognize this... please read the liberal media if you doubt me on the shared friendship between Shiites and Sunnis. Additionally, parroting the secularist talking points is also disingenuine regarding the eeevilll Christians and the Inquistion/Witchburning. The last scholarly work I read estimated that it is unlikely that more than two thousand people were executed for heresy by the Inquisition [The Inquisition edited by Brenda Stalcup and Henry Kamen's The Spanish Inquisition]. Nothing to be proud of, but consider it in light of 911.
Honestly, I'm not trying to make this personal, but rather, plead with others to recognize these arguments that we see all too often, coming from both the left and, unfortunately, the right. It may very well be a matter of our own survival.
I can throw out your whole post because you said Christians were burning their own. That’s not true since they were clearly burning wiccans and others that weren’t Christian.
Why you coming at me with this liberal crap? Because I don’t believe all Muslims are terrorists?
You better come up with alot better than that. I personally know Muslims that have bled for America in Iraq.. Who do you know? Huh? I didn’t think so.
So unless you can prove to me the man I knows secretly wants to blow up Christians(even though he’s going back to Iraq to work for our country again) then you need to quit sounding off like someone who has NO clue what he is even talking about.
If you bothered to read my post which you clearly didn’t I mentioned the fact that Christianity’s past pales in comparison to the evils in the name of being a Muslim.
However it is unfair of you to not equate what Christian people’s are capable of. Nazi Germany for example was as religious as any Western nation and allowed themselves to fall hook, line, and sinker for Hitler.
Was killing the American Indian Christian like? Just because it wasn’t waged in the name of God doesn’t mean it wasn’t war all the same? What about the American Civil War. Whether it be for “slavery” or “states right” both the South & the North called each other naughty names. We were Christian then were we not?
Don’t lecture me about history.. you got your head all wrapped around Muslims because you think they are the “worst” thing in the world.. but I got to tell you Olberman. Western culture has it’s own demons too.
All you need to look at is Abortion to tell you that.
