Muslim Leaders to Hold ‘Stand with the Prophet’ Rally in Texas

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

If we start that, where would the madness end? White people saying they are not like other white people, black people saying they are not like other black people, this is getting ridiculous.

Well, I will start. I am white and a Christian, and those Westboro Baptists are some crazy folks that be giving white folk and Christians a bad name. Lock them up!

Can you apologize for them giving black Christians a bad name too? Or are we keep the same color and religion in one category and leaving other colors of the same religion out to swim for themselves?

And by the way, Westboro Baptists don't represent my Christian views either. From the only black VJ woman in the Hot Topics section.

Yes, to the disappointment of many. Turned out it was some gun crazy anti-government militia types.

Some people went back to their little privater bunkers and tried to pretend they didn't hear the news.

Yes, you, as a Christian, can apologize for them too.

Hahahahahahahahaha

So in other words, us Christians cannot cross the racial lines when apologizing for what someone else is doing in the name of Christianity? What a load of croc.

You do realize Muslims come in all different kinds of shapes, sizes, colors and come from different countries?

Am I a different Christian from you? I noticed the extra stress on the word you in your reply to me.

You sure read a lot of stuff into my posts that is not there. I really am an accommodating person. The comma's are where they belong. Punctuation is important, for clarity.

Just checking.

Good this academic entity is willing to hear controversial individuals intellectual thoughts. Learning should not be one-sided, for example, willing to teach and unable to listen to opinions that differ from the teacher. This wouldn't be news if it read Christian Leaders to Hold "Stand with Jesus" Rally in Texas.

It would be news if Christians were slaughtering people by the 1000's in the name of Jesus in almost every corner of the world , daily

About 20 nut jobs in Kansas are the same as the many millions in almost every part of the world that are killing and oppressing 1000's daily .

Got it

THE MYTH OF THE TINY RADICAL MUSLIM MINORITY

He doesn't count. He was a troubled Catholic, and deserving of our prayers... Religion really only matters if the perpetrators are Muslim... Everyone else gets an immediate get out of jail card and to collect $200 as they pass GO.

A disgruntled Catholic did..

2010 Austin suicide attack

2010 Austin suicide attack

13^[2] Victim Vernon Hunter^[3] Perpetrator Andrew Joseph Stack III

The 2010 Austin suicide attack occurred on February 18, 2010, when Andrew Joseph Stack III deliberately crashed his single-engine Piper Dakota light aircraft into Building I of the Echelon office complex in Austin, Texas, United States,^[4] killing himself and Internal Revenue Service manager Vernon Hunter.^[5] Thirteen others were injured, two seriously. The four-story^[6][7] office building housed an IRS field office, along with other state and federal government agencies^[8] and some private businesses on the first floor. Prior to the crash, Stack had posted a suicide note referring to "greed", "insanity", and the IRS, dated February 18, 2010, to his business website. Stack is also suspected of having set fire that morning to his two-story North Austin house, which was mostly destroyed.

In the aftermath, there was increased debate over the policies of the IRS, and appropriate forms of protest. In response to the attack, the IRS spent more than $38.6 million,^[9] with $6.4 million spent to recover and resume work at the building, and over $32 million spent to increase security at other IRS sites in the U.S. However, the spending on security changes was questioned as being ineffective (see below). The building was repaired by December 2011.

There was a Democratic president in the WH during the OKC bombings... The motley crew gives McVeigh a pass for that reason.

I wonder which category the Oklahoma bombing dudes would be classified under?

Catholic with Muslim friends. This will put him in the category.

[JohnR! 5,495]

In this case, all bets are off.... His friends made him do it... He must have been a mujahid!

and I think he did it because he was mad at the IRS, not because he wanted to slaughter anyone who did not want the pope to be the ruler of the universe.

Nope. They just slaughter without saying God is great every day. You posted that 19,000+ people have been killed in terrorist attacks since 9/11. That's over 19000 people in a 14 year period and all over the world. How many people here are killed in the US due to gun violence or some other murder in just one year? What makes that more a threat than some people here who kill just because they can?

[JohnR! 5,495]

+100! :thumbs:

The issue is a simple technicality based on sheer hypocrisy. When terrorists attack and claim to be doing it in the name God, everyone takes it at face value because it's a convenient way to resolve the issue in one's small mind. However when someone like McVeigh or someone else professing a different religion does something equally despicable, since they didn't do it for religious reasons, it doesn't count; no matter the fact they profess one faith or another.

Not living up to one's religious teachings only counts when the subject is a Muslim. Everyone else gets a pass.

Things has been done about the gun violence, the effectiveness of those actions is somewhat in question. One group believes that there are still too many guns out there, and would do more stop the proliferation of guns. Another group believes there are not enough guns out there, and until every "law abiding" citizen is constantly packing heat, things will not get better. The largest group could care less, as long as nothing happens to them.
