Great post...thanks!

When it comes to these radical Muslims, it is kill or be killed; their Quran says so.

Notice the bold above. People like OWK and demidog always use crusades and Salem witch trials as proof Christians are also violent but the bold above details why that is flawed thinking. They are doing it against Jesus, where as muslims do it FOR their Mohammed as it is directed by their kuran.

I've noticed, even way before 9-11, that Muslims seem to be PREEMPTING this war of ideologies thing. It's a fact that the easiest way to hide your guilt is to accuse your accuser LOUDER and LONGER than he can accuse you...thus putting him on the defensive. It's hard to make a decent offence if you're constantly on the defense.

It's also a fact that Muslim extremists murder Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Judaeists - ANYONE not of their faith. And it's a fact that they use their ideology as an excuse for horrible crimes.

One's faith is not an excuse for hideous murder. Saying that "well, YOUR religion has been used as an excuse for murder TOO" is not a defense either. It's an OFFensive move, meant to throw the opponent off balance. And it works.

Christians haven't been running around throwing grenades into Mosques full of people. Mulsim extremists HAVE been running around grenading worshippers in Christian churches.

Good point, Christ himself was something of a wuss! "Turn the other cheek" and all that. Whereas Mohammed was an a$hKicker of monumental proportions.

I believe those facts are not subject to interpretation.

I mean heck, even King David was a a$hkicker as well, Christ on the otherhand, well, lets just say that in the corporeal world, I dont know if I would have wanted him to back me up in a fight.

agreed...but remember this..theyll always play the "victim" hand saying that israel and the U.S is to blame all together..we all know this much..i looked at the map of the west bank (even flew over it on flightsim 98) and i discovered something there about a mile and a half or so from jerusalem and ..think of it like this if the pali's get control of jerusalem..then the christian holy land will be turned upside down..and youll see possibly million's give up or lose faith..and then the muslims will all laugh in our faces ..i got that info together from my own opinion as well as this quote from arafat "we will never stop until the palestinian flag is raised over jerusalem" guys if you ask me i think we should send troops to israel..cause there close...too close from almost destroying moral in the christian world

OWK and demidog are at least consistent. Consistently screwed up and wrong about almost anything they comment upon, that is.

[BibChr]

They're cliche-recyclers, apparently incapable of free thought or genuine dialogue. That's why they're among the half-dozen or less names on my NEVER-respond list.

Right. Accuse your accuser louder and longer than he can accuse you, thus putting your accuser on the defensive.

I just can't help myself. When I think they have reached a new height in lunacy they go and top themselves.

[A Ruckus of Dogs]

If Moslems see Jesus as a prophet, why don't they follow some of his teachings? When it applies to the stoning of adulterers that currently goes on in some Arab countries for example?

[hopespringseternal]

Peter, was with Jesus for years. Does anyone really believe that in all that time Jesus never knew that... "Peter was packing a sword".

Well, the topic of self-defense and the bible is well hashed. Nowhere is mindless pacifism suggested. Defense of one's self, family, and nation is recognized throught the bible.

The difference between Islam and Judaism and Christianity is that Islam authorizes free agency in violence. Judaism and Christianity strictly forbid violence except for defense, criminal penalty, and as commanded by God on specific occasions (which there is no record of in 2500 years).

Where has the misonceptions? I know we are pretty well known for being peaceful. But wimps? I dont agree.

[smith288]

Those people you know that hide in their cave need to study the Bible a little more. Confrontation is what Jesus told his disciples to expect. Its what we will see in the end times and those people who hide like cowards need to understand that. Im always up for a challenge...
