At least CNN is reporting on this. That’s a small plus.
I respectfully disagree. Hamas might be funded by Iran. But Hamas is as much a political party in Gaza as it is a terrorist group. In other words, many, many, many Gazans and "Palestinians" will have to die before they get the point and not create the next Hamas. If they don't get the point, then they all have to die.
Islam needs a Council of Nicea moment like the Christians had in AD 4th century. That's when the Christians made official, among other things, that the Old Testament is good for theology but not for doctrine (rules to live by). Doctrine comes from NT (i.e. don't follow the laws of Moses and other OT prophets who taught things like to kill nonbelievers, etc., follow the teachings of Jesus and his Apostles in the NT). The Koran is full of violent teachings and, unfortunately, is all from Muhammad (assuming he actually existed, but that's another topic). That may be why Islam hasn't had a Council of Nicea moment where Muslim leaders from all over met and decided that the violent teachings are no longer doctrine.
“ Islam needs a Council of Nicea moment like the Christians had in AD 4th century.”
It will never happen. No “reform” if islam is possible. Anyone even suggesting it would be immediately marked for death as an apostate.

Yep. This is where I am. The scenes of the widespread cheering of what were obviously war crimes by regular Palestinians was all the evidence anyone needed to conclude Hamas are valid representatives of the will of most Palestinians.
Therefore, ethnically cleanse Gaza. Drive them into the sea.
give them the star trek treatment...
no muslims in the future.
I cannot get over the short clip I saw of a 5-6yo boy howling as he watched his sister killed “I wanted her to live”.
I will never forgive a group that celebrates such barbarity. They should have died out with the dinosaurs and that omission should be rectified. Anyone who glorifies, celebrates or excuses such acts should be executed en masse.
True. There is no “golden rule” in Islam, and every Muslim has the duty of jihad. Every non-Muslim is their sworn enemy.
The earliest “Christians” were all Jews. And so was our savior. All of them lived by the Torah (first five books of the Bible).
We are in a war for Western Civilization. “Israel is just in the way.” The barbarity that exists beyond our ken, be it Communist block, tribal Islam, or even the revered “noble savages” of native Americans come to mind whenever we fail to acknowledge the Judeo-Christian ethic and Western Civilization. Take, for example, the behavior of the Comanche. Reminds me of Hamas:

The Council of Nicea is one of the major events in history that most contributed to the scourge of antisemitism. Remember, Rome didn’t fall until centuries later.
If Christian means “follower of Jesus” (to use the name derived from ancient Greek) then the apostles were all Christians, of course! But they were Torah-keeping Jews, and so was Jesus!
I prefer first-century Christianity to the later iterations. So should all of us who call ourselves Christians. But that requires an open mind and a certain degree of enlightenment, and that is uncommon in the era of modern Christianity.
