Village president: 'I owe nobody an apology' for posts (calls for killing all muslims)
Traverse City Eagle Record ^ | 7-11-17 | Mark Johnson

Kalkaska’s village president’s continued refusal to apologize for his Facebook posts may trigger an attempt to remove him from office.

A series of posts village President Jeff Sieting shared on his personal Facebook page — including one that appeared to call for the killing of Muslims — caught Cindy Anderson’s eye several weeks ago. She and others fruitlessly sought Sieting’s apology at a June 26 village meeting.

Anderson, a real estate broker who owns land in the county and grew up near Kalkaska, returned for Monday’s village council meeting and asked Sieting if he thinks he should apologize for the social media activity. He displayed no remorse.

“I owe nobody an apology for exercising my First Amendment rights,” he said.

Ya. Northern Michigan is very different from any where near De-toilet or ann arbor. Takes a different sort of person to live north of Cadillac, or in the UP.

WHO here sees a threat against muslims?

I see an invitation for foolhardy people to submit to their own bad judgement.

Ha. Thin out the bleeding heart libs via having them host muzzies in their homes. Too many would bend over and convert, though.

So even if you killed all the Muslims, some wackadoodle eventually would find the book and resurrect the religion.

It would still be a blessed relief that it had to be resurrected from scratch.

Looks like I may have been fooled by liberal lies in the article:

“A series of posts village President Jeff Sieting shared on his personal Facebook page — including one that appeared to call for the killing of Muslims — caught Cindy Anderson’s eye several weeks ago. She and others fruitlessly sought Sieting’s apology at a June 26 village meeting.”

It’s not clear to me what you mean.

Would they show up ready to go to work on the Muslims, or to defend them?

Indeed, such a sentiment simply mimics the exact same blind, thoughtless savagery which Islamic extremists display
.........................................................

The so called extremists are not acting blind and thoughtless at all. They are following the leader of their cult. The silent one’s are just letting the others do the dirty work. But they know, as does anyone who has spent minimum time looking into Islam, what their end game is.

You should do 5 minutes of research before posting meaningless blather.

Sage advice which others should obviously heed as well.

"Kill all Muslims" is the veritable epitome of meaningless blather—and evil meaningless blather, at that; I generally try to limit my meaningless blather to that which—at least marginally—comports with the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Others are free to get inspiration for their meaningless blather from whatever lesser source they please.

Lord knows we'll never defeat this enemy by adopting its hateful tenets—"kill all infidels"—so, alas, the civilized world will have to defeat Radical Islam while retaining a modicum of Christian decency...

ALL islam is radical. There is no friendly, neighborhood cool muslim.

If some will not personally cut your eyes out or detach your head from your body with an edged instrument for not bowing and converting, they certainly will not object if a more militant one does it instead.

That is the primary premise of the entire belief.

So, what would be the decent Christian way of dispensing with those who vow to live and breathe their religion, that calls for you head on a platter?

Sargon is one of the Muslim know it all’s. One on this site claims he spent years in Saudi Arabia, but; apparently never learned about their inbreeding to protect family wealth, add the terrible problems our pilot trainers had teaching these people to fly as their night vision is almost non existent. Inbreeding causes many other physical and yes, mental problems. Depression is just one. Most of us recall no Muslims here period, and; we had no mass murder on any military post or base then. We all recall 9/11 when they clearly showed us their intentions. Europe and this country would do well to go back to the Battle of Tours in the mid 1300’s as Charles Martel saved Europe from Muslim domination then. 700 years later they just take over entire sections of major cities in Europe. The police will not even enter these areas in France. We should damn sure recall paying ransom to the Barbary pirates and what Jefferson learned about Muslims lying to non Muslims when he was in France. Today the left teaches Jefferson had an Muslim dinner at the White House. That is BS. Make no mistake as there are jihadi training camps all over this country. These people are not here to be Americans/assimilate. Those who believe that are deluded.

Perhaps you might ask yourself why any group needs jihadi training camps all over the US? Look it up as there were 22 at last count. No Czechoslovakian, Polish, Greek, German or any other group who came here needed these or ever tried. These European types all wanted a better life for themselves plus their kids etc. A very good friend, whose family came from Poland, graduated from West Point in 65.

That's patently false. If it weren't, we'd be having a lot more problems in America than we do. America has a moderating influence even on fanatics. And there are clearly a large majority of Muslims in America who are neither fanatics, nor sympathetic to fanatical hate.

So, what would be the decent Christian way of dispensing with those who vow to live and breathe their religion, that calls for you head on a platter?

Everyone has the right to defend themselves against imminent danger. Unfortunately, even if all Muslims were forced to wear armbands—you know, like the Nazis did with Jews—there would be no way to tell whether such individuals deserved killing or not.

My heinous sin on this thread, apparently, was expressing Christian reservations to the "kill all Muslims" mentality—the same mentality Nazis exercised towards Jews—and I will not apologize for adhering to Christian standards of propriety. Advocacy for mass murder based on someone's religion is for indiscriminate haters—not Christians...
