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.

I agree with Pope Urban--they are infidels.

His words are unworthy, yes. But we must be aware of what the enemy is doing and answer them.

Christians do NOT hold a gun to the head of people and say CONVERT OR DIE.........that is the difference. Christianity is a RELATIONSHIP, not a religion.

Islam is a cult.

Islam is the enemy of every single Christian and Jew in the world!

You're finally coming around, Toddler. Welcome to the ongoing holy war.

This guy should be throwing his quotes from the Quran at the Islamic nutcases, not at Christians. Christians aren't the ones crashing planes into buildings in the name of 'allah'.

This is so annoying. Islamics are terrorists look what they did last year. Christians are terrorists look what they did 1200 years ago. Everytime someone wants to compare a Christian to an Islamic they compare a ripe apple and an 1200 yr old orange. Its pathetic.

Ok, but why not? Why let trash like that go unanswered?

I posted the contact when I replied to people. I don't know if people read the whole thread or only their replies.

There is no such thing as a Christian terrorist. Christians use persuation, not violence. A lot of people call themselves Christians, (KKK, etc), but do not follow the entire Bible, just a parts of it, mostly taken out of context, to support whatever they already believed in the first place. I wonder who posted this, what their beliefs are. I wouldn't post any garbage like this, I can assure you. The pest who did is an anti-Christian, or did so in ignorance, not knowing what the phrase "counter-productive," means, and doesn't want to.....

But when activists claim God is on their side...

How egocentric! I hope I am an activist, but it is too presumptuous to believe God is not on my side. I am on His side.

"Maybe we can make them happy again by deporting ALL Muslims, ALL Arabs and nuking Mecca?"

While you, on the other hand, contribute to CAIR and support opening our borders to terrorists?

Didn't you find that the writer was an anti Christian bigot?

Don't get all bent out of shape... People are responding to the author, not the poster. Remember, though, next time to add a (Barf Alert!) next to the title, so your position will be understood.
