A religious faith whose personally wielded a sword, killed non-believers, enslaved children, authorized the execution of non-beleivers, called for death for his followers who converted to anoterh faith is a CULT, not a religion.

Are you calling Christianity a cult? What about the Jews, I guess that's a horrible "cult" also? Read the Old Testament lately?

Some individual Muslims may not approve of the Sharia Law, but they are few and far between and their silence is deafening.

Yeah, and most of dem blacks.. And most of dem Jews.. And most of dem southerners. You can't defend this broad generalization.

You may as well claim all hispanics are lazy or all Catholic Priests are pedophiles.

The U.S. and the west in general should and must recognize Islam for the threat it is, a theocratic hate system which tolerate no one, chattelizes women, and locks society into a brutal past.

Another broad generalization, with parallels to Christianity as well.

Islam should not be allowed or tolerated here and a;; Muslims should be deported.

Will you re-write the constitution, or shall I?

Funny thing. On 9/10/01, I would've agreed with you. But since then, my eyes have been opened. Who did me that favor? Muslims themselves.

"Are you calling Christianity a cult?"

When was the last time you read about a priest or minister or Buddhist monk calling for a Holy War against Islam? When was the last time you heard about a death sentence issued by cleric against somebody for writing something negative about Christ? When have you ever heard about a Christian being executed by other Christians for converting to another faith?

" What about the Jews, I guess that's a horrible "cult" also? Read the Old Testament lately? "

Yes I read the Old Testament. But it discribes acts of violence against non-believers that occurred thousands of years ago and these were restricted to a limited geographic area. Further, it doesn't enjoin Jews to commit any such acts in the present and they do not do so. I haven't read of any Jews forcibly converting anyone, killing non-Jews because they weren't Jewish, or trying to force Mosaic Laws on non-Jews.

"Yeah, and most of dem blacks.. And most of dem Jews.. And most of dem southerners. You can't defend this broad generalization. "

Yes I can, and you are beginning to sound like a liberal Democrat who resorts to using a racist paintbrush when attacking someone who disagrees with you.

"You may as well claim all hispanics are lazy or all Catholic Priests are pedophiles."

You think Hispanics are lazy?

I never said all Catholic priests are pedophiles and as a matter of fact, you are the first person who has ever made that statement.

Comparing the acts of a few individuals in a population with the population as a whole makes no sense. Comparing the acts of a great number of individuals in a population with that population, especially when they are acting out the edicts of their founder, is not.


"The U.S. and the west in general should and must recognize Islam for the threat it is, a theocratic hate system which tolerate no one, chattelizes women, and locks society into a brutal past.

Another broad generalization, with parallels to Christianity as well."

You, sir, are demostrating a politically correct brand of social equivalency which makes no sense. There is NO connection between Christ, his teachings, and modern Christianity with ANY of those "parallels".


"Islam should not be allowed or tolerated here and Muslims should be deported.
Will you re-write the constitution, or shall I?"

If the Thugee Cult was still alive, or human sacrificng druids still around, would you feel the same way? Not every belief system should be tolerated, anymore than we should tolerate Nazism or Communism (and once upon a better time we didn't - and it was o.k. under our current Constitution).
