“And until there is a surefire way to tell them apart,”...
For starters, you can ask what sect they belong to, or which country they’re from. Then you can ask about how they feel about Jews & Israel, that’ll give you a clue.
Or maybe you’re trying to tell them apart by sight?
“As long as islam MUST abide by the quran...”
Has it never ocurred to you that in reality, they pick & choose from the Koran as christians pick & choose from the Bible?
“it is an obedience to a false god.”
Whether you like or agree with their beliefs in whichever god they believe, doesn’t matter. They can pray to a dozen gods, if they like. That’s what freedom of religion is.
Should we ban Hindus?
I looked at Joel's Trumpet website. I just can't get excited about someone who travels around doing paid seminars. It looks to me like he is jumping on the Perry bandwagon to gain speaking dates.
We have to face the fact that defeating Obama is more important than having the "perfect" candidate and I'm not ready to settle for having Romney forced down our throats by the RINO contingent and the media.
The Shah of Iran was our best ally-Reagan
I think Perry can beat Romney, and he has a better record than any of the other candidates.
If Sarah doesn't jump in, he has my vote in the primary so far.
Hindus aren’t interested in killing everyone who doesn’t convert.
Look. You are getting way far afield here. I am not interested in interviewing a gazillion individuals to ask if they want to kill me or not. And I am not a missionary either. I don’t give a flying flip what they worship if they would keep it to themselves without trying to destroy any/every other culture around them one way or another. Convert or die doesn’t turn me on much.
If YOU want to do what you suggest, fine. But do you want your children forced to learn a false history. A stolen legacy?
Do you want a mosque at Ground Zero because they *say* it’s peaceful when we know their custom is to build mosques on what THEY consider a defeated enemy’s territory like dogs peeing to stake out THEIR territory?
Either you are completely naive or you are suicidal...or you are a muslim yourself. In which case, you might be an exception to the rule. But that is as far as it goes as long as the rule constitutes the majority.
Thamk you for the conversation, but it’s over now.
lol. You’re the one getting far-afield.
The thread in on Perry.
Do you honestly thing Perry was trying to harm children?? REALLY? I've seen several FReepers post here that they had their daughters get the innoculation, without harm. Now health sources are saying the boys should also get it. I live in Texas, over time I've read a number of articles saying that Junior High School kids are engaging in oral sex because they believe it to be "safe" sex. The HPV virus can be transmitted in that manner - passed on and on.
I read the curriculum, and it does not appear to say what you claim. On the whole, it looked better than what’s in my kid’s high school history textbook. Not saying I agree with every opinion in the curriculum, but I don’t see it ignoring islamic terrorism; I believe you are right that it doesn’t mention Jefferson; there’s a lot of things it didn’t mention, as it’s a pretty short curriculum and doesn’t cover the history of the world from creation to modern times.
Now you are just being silly. Catholics are the same as Methodists? Mormons are the same as Baptists? Episcopalians are the same as Seventh DAy Adventists? Jehovah's Witnesses also claim the same Bible.
No Muslim has the correct faith, so it's hard to argue that one particular sect is "better" than another. But from the perspective of the religious impact on the political and socioeconomic fabric of our country, it's absurd to suggest that everybody with a passing believe in "islam" is identically dangerous.
Although I certainly know that some people truly believe that; I'll just say that I bet you won't find a SINGLE republican presidential candidate who will agree with you on that point. Even the occasional candidate for any office who expresses concern about Sharia law will also tell you they don't think that most muslims present that danger or raise that concern.
Tell me which candidate you support which has called for banning the building of Mosques.
