Christianity has no shortage of terrorists [Barf Alert]
Orlando Sentinel ^ | Published November 17, 2002 | Mike Thomas

Osama bin Laden uses the Islamic faith to justify his nationalist, anti-Western political agenda.

It is an old religious ploy, one that Muslims were on the receiving end of during the Crusades.

Pope Urban II used love of Jesus and hatred of Muslims to motivate his troops at the beginning of the Crusades. Urban actually called Muslims "infidels."

Political leaders often wear religious disguises and exploit hatred in pursuit of their goals.

This brings me to the leaders of the religious right in this country.

Oh, that's right you are totally without judgment of others.

I've never argued for the brutal elimination of an entire sect of religious peoples. Can't say the same for many kooks I've seen post here...Unfortunately.

Jesus was the ultimate terrorist. Everytime he healed the sick, cast out a devil, raised the dead, feed the hungry, forgave sinners, etc., the Devil fled in horror at watching his curse being reversed. Wait until the world sees an Army of Christian miracle workers in action, then the devil and his demonic horde will be howling in abject terror, knowing their reign on Earth is about over, and eternity in the Lake of Fire is about to commence. All false religions and doctines on the Earth will quickly disappear like fog being hit by the sunlight. And then "He will rule ALL nations with a rod of iron." And you thought you have seen it all, you ain't seen nothing yet.

I have nothing against the Crusaders going to kill the Turks and Saracins. My problem with them is unpleasant incidents like them expelling all the Jews out of the Rhineland during the First Crusade.

I just wanted people to see the whole article, it was much more offensive than the excerpt.

Johnny Shear: No more than I find a number of Freepers being anti Muslim bigots.

They're all a bunch of whacked-out hate-filled kooks.

Jael:Why do you say that? The Bible says we are to hate every wicked way. If people hate a wicked way, it doesn't mean they are what you said.

Johnny"And they can make us all look like genocidal maniacs"

Jael: You are barking up the wrong tree. The genocidal maniacs are not Americans or other non Muslims.

What a brave man to write this article! Comparing Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson to Muslem Terrorists! How insightful! He really went out on a limb here didn't he? Attacking Christians is just so brave- it is never done in the media or our culture. What a contrarion writer and original thinker! I am sure he will be toast of his oh so liberated fellow thinkers not brave enought to bash Falwell (that has never been done before.) Maybe that collosal intellect of the Left, Larry Flynt, will invite him to dinner!

I too fear a repeat of the anti muslem pogroms and lynchings that swept this country after 9/11 by the hoards of Christian fanatics inspired by the froathed mouth Jerry Falwell if another terrorist attack occuers!

And people wonder why the GOP won the last midterm? Maybe it has something to do with the total lack of any sort of rational perspective liberals like this clown have on reality.

One doesn't even have to be a believing Christian to see the indecency of this comparison of Muslem murderers to even the most Right Wing of Christians Evangelicals.

Only a fanatic of the Christian hating Left could write something so stupid and insulting.

Is it worth it? I would rather just batten the hatches and prepare for the storm, almost. Talking/debating/speaking seems to do no good anymore, words mean nothing to these screwed up people.

No one wants to eliminate them, they just don't want to be eliminated by them.
