Quote of the Day by Bogie

[Jorge]

Falwell apologized for his statements following 9/11...... then he apologized for his statements on the Pat Robertson show...I wonder how long it will take him to apologize for these statements.

[Jhoffa_]

"If a massacre were being conducted against people of color, God forbid, or groups like gays and lesbians, there would be an understandable outcry that would demand change," Falwell told Baptist Press. "It is a tragedy that Christian lives do not seem to have the same value to the national media."

He's right about this.

OTOH, Falwell (and some other people who I won't mention) need to realize that Islam is protected by our constitution here. It's not fair to paint every Muslim with this broad brush, especially domestically.

If it were some Tim McVeigh or Jim Jones type nut job killing people in the "name of Christ" I know I certainly don't deserve to have my religion slandered and categorically blamed for their actions.

We punish actions here, not religions.. so there's no need to stir up a bunch of hate for Islam in general.

Falwell; "If those in the media were doing their jobs, Dr. Vines would never have felt it necessary to point out these disquieting elements of an enigmatic religion."

Oh, so I guess Jerry Farsmell believes the media's job is to point out that Muhammad was a "demon-possessed pedophile." Right.

Falwell told Baptist Press. "It is a tragedy that Christian lives do not seem to have the same value to the national media."

Must be that lifted protective shield thing again.

I have absolutely no sympathy for the Muslims in this country because they failed in their duty to be the biggest cheerleaders in condemming the 9/11 attacks and calling for the crushing of Islamic terrorists who would carry out such attacks.

Their condemmnation was weak and all they worry about is not being profiled.

If a 'Christian' terroriest group had carried out such an
atrocity and had done it 'in the name of Christ' it would
be the duty of Christians everywhere to be the loudest voices in procecuting those terrorists. And I believe they would.

If wjorge and joffa want to kiss their a**es then fine.

I say good for Falwell.

Good info. Thanks!

"If it were some Tim McVeigh or Jim Jones type nut job killing people in the "name of Christ" I know I certainly don't deserve to have my religion slandered and categorically blamed for their actions. "

The difference here is that these people are NOT following the precepts of Christ. On the other hand, Muslims who surpress or attack non-Muslims ARE following the precepts AND EXAMPLE of their founder Mohammad.

"If a massacre were being conducted against people of color, God forbid, or groups like gays and lesbians, there would be an understandable outcry that would demand change," Falwell told Baptist Press. "It is a tragedy that Christian lives do not seem to have the same value to the national media."

Christians = only group that it is fair to mock and discriminate against

God bless Falwell for truth speaking
