Then i got back to England and while most Muslims won't tell you to your face that they are glad the ambassador died, they are real fucking happy about it when they are with their friends.

A denouncement of the protesters from the Islamic world would be nice but they are not stupid, they know that their own population is against that and will burn them alive if they do apologize.
That's a quite bold speculation from someone who doesn't know how to read Arabic.

They want to get insulted it gives them an green light to tear shit up and act like spoiled little kids. Blame someone else for why you tear up your own country. Exactly what the terrorists teach. They need a "bad guy" to gain control of the masses. That video was a red herring.

We can apply the same statement to Judaism then:

The logic seems and straightforward. I think all of us should be aware and interested in this information.

Can a good Jew be a good American?

Theologically - no. Because his allegiance is to HaShem, the King of the Universe.

Religiously - no. Because no other religion is accepted by his HaShem except Judaism

Scripturally - no. Because his allegiance is to HaShem alone.

Geographically - no. Because his allegiance is to Jerusalem (and Israel), to which he turns in prayer three times a day.

Socially - no. Because his allegiance to Judaism forbids him to assimilate into the culture of the nation in which he lives.

Politically - no. Because he must submit to the Tanakh (Jewish Bible, aka Old Testament), which teaches that Israel is the most important nation on Earth, through which blessings will flow to the other nations.

Domestically - no. Because he is instructed to marry only other Jews.

Intellectually - no. Because he cannot accept the American Constitution since it is based on Christian Biblical principles and he believes the Christianity to be apostasy.
Philosophically - no. Because Judaism, Arbaham/Isaac/Jacob, and the Tanakh do not allow freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Judaism cannot co-exist.

Spiritually - no. Because when we declare "one nation under God," the Christian's God is loving and kind, while Judaism proclaims that HaShem and Jesus are not two parts of God and therefor the Christian God is a false god.




I could do the same basic thing while using Christianity instead of Judaism if you like.
You can try to apply whatever you wish.......
There are good people on both sides......there are exceptions to every rule....

Yet the exception in this case are those who chose to not to stand up to the plate and speak out against the violence directed towards Americans in the Middle east.
Their lack of action speaks volumes as to whether they agree with the violence or not...

As JohnOfSheffield stated and rightly so -- A denouncement of the protesters from the Islamic world would be nice but they are not stupid, they know that their own population is against that and will burn them alive if they do apologize.

Now we wait for cybersage`s mis-direction....or finding exceptions...lol

i dont understand what's so complicated about it, if you insult someone's religion they get angry. If that person is poor, uneducated, disenfranchized, unemployed, and itching for someone to blame, their reaction will probably not be pleasant.

another thing is that religion is very much open to interpretation, so while u have muslim scholars condemning the attacks, u have extremists on the right saying its perfectly acceptable and encouraging it. Both claim to be muslim, but very different responses. THe same is true for Chrsitans who are'nt very christ like, but purport to be christian.

What he said is actually true, a large amount of the Muslims in England are becoming more extremist.

London is actually the center of radical islam in the world today. Mullahs live on state benefits while preaching hatred of the West and planning it's downfall. I recommend the book Londonistan by Melanie Phillips.

I think we can all agree that no religion has a place in modern America, but let's focus on the one trying to blow us up and take us back to the bronze age first.

Heh
One of the brown shirts has a thread based on his theory that the very minority Muslim pop in the US is going to increase until it overruns the gov
In yours, the very minority Atheists rise to power and kick the rest out

I got to ask though, in your fantasy, which religion are you going to go after when you complete your Muslim deportations?

Seems to me the best way to solve all this . Is the lleast exceptable by the powers that be . We only need 2 bombs 1 for Jersulum and 1 for mecca . destroy these holy of holies and make them uninhabitable for thousands off years . I bet god doesn't show up to stop either weapon from going off . An alien may have seemed to be gods in time past but you won't see me kneel befor an alien god.

Well said, They have proven they cant get along and dont respect freedom of speech, the US should just wipe that area out and we would be better off

Whoever is easiest to paint as enemies of the state, and a danger to the public. Probably whoever was least helpful in getting rid of the Muslims. Call them sympathizers.

Not really.

Muslims are just stuck in the 13th century. They need to realize their nonsense religion is not more important than anyone else's. It will be mocked, freedom of expression trumps your hurt feelings. Don't like it, stay in your 3rd world country and cover your women in black blankets and then chop their heads off after they get raped. Just don't expect the free countries of the world not look down on you.

Well, we can safely say that none of the other major religions are going to back you up.
All of their leaders are going to sympathize with the Muslims
In America it looks like Catholics would be on your list next. Since they have the largest majority.
We know the Pope condemned the cartoons and has called for Christians "to open their arms and hearts" to Muslim immigrants and "to dialogue" with them on religious issues

But your battle is also going to run into people like me, who are not going to stand by while you start loading your trains with my neighbors

You guy's plan is going to take like thousands of years and more genocide then God apparently laid down.

Jesus Christ is actually mentioned 5 times more often in the Qur’an than Muhammad.

Look at the population of atheists\agnostics in the US, and their growth rate. Also consider how devout most US worshippers are. They basically pay their religions lipservice in exchange for the social scene.

The same thing happened in the UK, leading to a nearly godless country.

But I didn't consider having to deal with the likes of you. I guess I give up then. :biggrin:

Religion in the US won't go out with a bang, but with a wimper, just like elsewhere in the Western world.

Just showing the view Brutus stated can be easily applied to just about every social group on the planet. Your logical fallacy does not change this, though I am sure it made you feel better inside.

Drop one on the Vatican too? How about dropping one of every city where there is a lot of violence, which would be Washington DC, Chicago, New York, etc etc?

Good thing we do you allow people like you to have any real power.

As a group yes they are and anyone saying otherwise is an ignorant idiot or a liar. Look at the creators of South Park and look at all the mocking of various other religions and religious leaders. Book of Mormon wins a Tony just fyi.

Yes, it will probably go out with a whimper, very slowly, over let's say the next 2 or 3 thousand years.
And by going out in a whimper, it will not be forced out.
We learned a long time ago that don't work.
Remember when thousands and thousands of prosecuted Christians left the UK and fled to the US?

Oh and ya, I doubt you will ever have to deal with me personally, but I know a lot of the guys standing around you right now still believe in and swore to protect, ALL the freedoms that America stands for.
