The violence across our southern border is reprehensible and a good number of them are Catholics.

Edit: Though I will say there is a difference in crimes being motivated by religion as opposed to simply having a faith and committing a crime.

No doubt pretending that simple truths are figments of other people's imaginations is one of the few defenses left to you. A more honest person wouldn't feel the need to divert the topic onto, "Oh yeah, look at what the Torah says!"

A propensity to planting bombs and cutting off people's heads are two stereotypes society holds about Muslims. This is, unfortunately, a fulfillment of the latter. Accept it and move on.

Another irony in this thread is how you keeping trying to point out how every person here who does not agree with you has a distorted view of reality.

Of course you will fail to see this irony as well...

The problem I find with Democrats on the subject of Islam, is that they all too often tout this sort of man, who beheads his wife, as the moderate Muslim. A moderate is not a terrorist that takes the weekend off. A moderate is a Muslim that is condemned by his fellow Muslims for daring to speak out against violence.

You can be a moderate Muslim and a criminal, which is likely the case with Mr. Hassan. You can also be a moderate Jew and a criminal, a moderate Christian and a criminal, et cetera. This act was not necessarily related to the religion.

It is in your imagination, you can claim otherwise all you like, but you can't quote a single person here to back your claim.

If you had any respect for honestly you wouldn't chartreuse my intention or make up a quote to attribute to me.

I accepted as soon as I came across it, long before this thread existed. Again, you are simply deluding yourself into believing otherwise.

Ironically, you have a distorted understanding of the meaning of irony.

Yet I have no issue seeing the irony described in the OP, I just see little point in repeating the obvious.

Largely emasculated by renaissance I'm not to concerned about Amish blowing up a stadium or treating women like vommit.


That's the thing about liberals they don't let logic get in the way of their leftist views.

Thats right! Excuse actions of the present due to the past!







No.

:confused: yeah it's just a phase, we need to be more tolerant.

The thing about partisan hacks is that they can't come to terms with the fact many people aren't partisan hacks.

So seeing as how anytime radical Islam is involved in a thread, you are the staunch defender.....


When will you come to terms?

This may be the 1st time that you have responded to one of my posts and not used profanity, vulgarity and vicious personal attacks...... I feel we may have turned a corner.

You see what you want to see instead of coming to terms with the fact that I am no defender of radicalism, Islamic or otherwise.

Seriously, I dont know where the stereotype comes from.

From Today:

"PATTANI, Thailand (AP) ? Suspected Muslim insurgents ambushed a military convoy and beheaded two soldiers in southern Thailand on Friday in the second such attack this month, police said."

It might be tougher then you imagine to dig up a good parallel case?

Threat title: "Man who tried to put positive light on Islam beheads wife"

If you find something comparable please post it, I'd like to see it.

Still looking? ;)
