You are a very scary person, allowing a small minority to define an entire population in your mind. Thank God that people didn't let Tim McVeigh define white Christians in their mind (despite Clinton's best efforts).

When McVeigh did his terror you didn't see thousands of white Christians chanting down with America, kill all Americans, you saw just the opposite. Why is it everytime an event involving Americans and the Middle East happens there are thousands of Muslims on the streets chanting kill Americans and down with America? You expect a rational person to say that these people should live among us? These are not all Wahabi's yet they still carry their hatred forward.

McVeigh was an atheist.

Wahabi Muslims should be treated like the Aryan Nation. Exposed. Ridiculed. Condemned. Spat upon.

And, if they're violent, they should be executed.

Violent racists are genocidal and should be removed from civilized society.

It's not just in the military where people of the Islamic faith are creating problems. There was an incident in Chicago where a Muslim FBI officer REFUSED to do any surveilence or arrest any of the muslim terror suspects his unit was watching. The President said "either you're with us or you're with the terrorists". These people are making their choice. They look at anyone who's not Muslim as an infadel and not worthy of living. Their intent is to either kill us or convert us. Now tell me again how we're letting a few bad apples define the entire culture? If you look at it, it's a minority of the Islamic community that's brave enough to stand beside us against the majority of the people of their faith.

Lots of folks do associate Tim Mcveigh with hard right white folks like me.

In fact you and several others have been using that analogy as a moral equivalency tool on occasion since this thread started.

This is about black muslims in the military right now whose loyalty may be in question. How many White Christian Identity fools do you reckon are in the military?

I bet the average Farakhan rally has 10 times the number of all the white supremacist memberships combined in the nation.

I must point out that Christ told his disciples to preach,but if the people would not listen then leave that place ; Mohammmed apparently told his followers to preach and if the people will not listen they are to be killed.

Big difference.

So McVeigh and other terrorists who professed to be Christian were acting AGAINST the tenets of their faith, whilst John Taliban and the Washington sniper were in ACCORD with theirs.

The fact that most Muslims do not do likewise may mean they realize just how wrong it is to murder peaceful people simply for worshipping a different God. The fact that leaving the Muslim religion calls for an automatic death sentence should be clear evidence of its inherent wrongness.

Since Christians condemn killing and muslims imbrace killing your analogy does not work. Christians hated what McVeigh did, muslims love the killing of infidels.

Tim McVeigh was no Christian!!!!! His last words were from the poem Invictus "I am the captain of my soul, I am the master of my fate." No acknowledgement of God at all. He was either an atheist or agnostic. He did not commit his act of terror in the name of any God (Christian or other). So please don't call him a Christian!!!!!

By the way, his partner, Terry Nichols, married a woman from the Philipines and made several visits there. At the time Ramzi Yousef (involved in the '93 WTC bombing) was based in the Philipines.
