Sick Sick Sick of hearing about this vile and utterly useless false religion. If it were extinguished off the face of the earth I would be happy and jumping with joy.

Zecharia Sitchin makes a lot more sense.

[seeker41]

hmmm...Do you mean "Nefilim" or "those who came down."

[TLBSHOW]

not really interested in a false religion. cult and evil and terrorist is Islam

[SevenDaysInMay]

Theo-fascism with its myth based on a pedophile spun 'round a meteorite into a death cult. Without the accident of oil, Islam would rival Aztec civilization.

You forgot to mention the greatest book of all.

The Holy Qur'an by Muhammad.

A must read for anybody who is thinking of turning his back on a Moslem; unless he is a Moslem, himself.

Every copy of the Holy Qur'an sold gains another ally for Israel.

[Savage Beast]

The whole mess. Zech makes a hell of a lot more sense than Islam does. Hell, Elmer Fudd makes more sense than Islam does. (But I kinda like Zecharia. You can't really say his ideas are harebrained--which is more than you can say about Mohammed's ideas!)

[seeker41]

He is interesting, but as an a christian I must reject his theories. Speaking of mohammad ("piss be upon his head" as a FReeper once stated) he appears to me to have been mad as a hatter.

[Savage Beast]

I think so. And anybody who would follow him is even nuttier.

[Savage Beast]

Anyway, there's nothing particularly un-Christian about Zecharia Sitchen.

[seeker41]

I understand he knows Hebrew and grew up in Israel, but he is a bit far out for me. To each his own.

Since you KNOW that's not going to happen, what's your fallback plan?

I have the solution to the Jewish v. Arab conflict. We had and have the same problem here in the USofA. People move on to un-used land, start a family, a community, and then a nation. The USofA did it moving "West". The Jews started Israel on mostly un-used. In the USofA the Indians want the land back, so do the Palestinians in the Near-East. Here in the USofA we have solved the problem. We don't give the land back, we do better than that; we give gambling rights to the Indians, they become millionairs, they are satisfied. Do the same for the Palestinians, and they to will be happy and rich.

Ping.

[THROW?]

I am just curious as if anyone has considered that Muslim radicals are no different than Christian radicals in the Middle Ages and today. And I will answer now what I will inevitably be asked. My race is white, my religion is Chrisitan, and I am very conservative.

[seeker41]

err.. Haven't we progressed beyond the "middle ages". What a lame argument.

[seeker41]

Oh I know it's going to happen, but the timing is not up to me.

Nobody on the Right believes this although Bush was once fond of say so. Those on the left don't believe it either, but they welcome anything that's antagonistic to the American Right.

, and if we forcibly remove a few bad apples we won't be pecked to death.

I believe the only cure from this 1400 year old Cancer is radical surgery. The Planet desparately needs to be cleansed of this scurge. Daisy Cutters for Mecca.
