Yes, ISIS Burned a Man Alive: White Americans Did the Same Thing to Black People by the Thousands

[decocker 7,198]

Catholics are supposed to be the true Christians. The other denominations formed because they didn't like the rules.

we should really have a certain branch of government, at minimum a committee or something, to make sure that only real catholics claim catholicism.

The president could simply appoint another czar to manage that no?

[decocker 7,198]

whoever, just as long as it's government determining religious authenticity - i'd say it's a step in the right direction.

Cuz dammit, the gubmint always knows what's best!!

i like to keep my government as intertwined with my religions as possible. besides being the american way, it makes me feel safer knowing god and government are working together to keep me in line!

He wants to say that ISIS represents Islam. By that measure, the WBC, the KKK, and any other hate group that cites the bible as its go to source material, should be representatives of Christianity.

Oh, and for the feeble and closed minded people I'm talking about Muslim terrorists..... not moderate Muslims.

The difference is that when hate groups such as the KKK make a presence, march, and/or rally, people that do not agree with them, other Christians etc, counter march to protest them. They make their disagreement of what these hate groups are trying to represent themselves as clearly known. So to try and say that if they cite the bible it represents Christianity is just not so because these other Christians that protest them are stating that this is not a representation of them.

Now I may be ignorant on this next part because I do not watch enough of the news so correct me if I am wrong, but I rarely or never see these so called "moderate Muslims" or the majority thereof do anything in protest of what the Muslim terrorists groups are doing, Surely these terrorist groups represent only a small fraction of the total Islamic population, therefore If the "moderate Muslims" or the majority thereof didn't condone or disagree with what these terrorists groups are doing we should see protests by them across the globe to show their disagreement, but we see little or nothing, which leads me to think they are in silent agreement of the terrorist actions which are being conducted in the name of Islam.

Google: 'Jordan air strikes on isis'. It will certainly change your point of view on that particular issue.

I know about Jordan, but that was a governmental decision....I was trying to discuss everyday people in countries across the world..such as you and me, that are of the Muslim faith...how come we do not see any Muslims protesting on the streets in disagreement in that the terrorists are not a representation of what they believe and urging their Government to take action against the terrorists. Like I said I may be ignorant on the point, maybe there is a large number of Muslims protesting across the world....but by not making a stand against the actions of small group (terrorists) compared to the population of the religion as a whole, it leads me to believe that they are not in disagreement with the terroists action in the name of the religion.

Look up #notintmyname. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2014/09/22/notinmyname-islamic-state-muslims-speak-out/16039911/

But on a bigger note, Muslims shouldn't have to protest something that's not a part of them. You don't see it because when it happens, the media doesn't cover it.

Jordanians were protesting on the streets a couple of days ago. Many Muslims in Europe, US and other countries have decried ISIS and all acts of terorrism perpetrated under the guise of Islam.

People are speaking up, but the problem remains that their voices don't sell ads on paper or air, so they get little coverage. There are certain news outlets - and I use the term losely - that prefer to give airtime to ISIS's videos instead of Muslims who speak against ISIS. That ought to tell you where the interest of the media really is.

They're doing that - not that they have to but they are. And you ignore it.

Gotta ask yourself: When a bible freak goes and kills a doctor for that doctor performs procedures that said bible freak disagrees with or better yet bombs the facility where procedures that (s)he disagrees with take place, is there anyone that calls for Muslims to take to the streets against Islamist terrorism asking for Christians to do the same? Do you take to the streets? Yeah, exactly. I didn't think so.

In that case the media is doing the world and the Muslim population an injustice. Proof of that is in my post, because not making it popularly known leads someone like me into thinking that the majority of the Islamic nation is agreement with the actions of the terrorist.

[JohnR! 5,495]

If the majority of Muslims were in agreement with ISIS none of us woiuld be posting here. We'd all be dead. Just look around you and you'll see there are Muslims everywhere in this country, going about their lives, working, paying their bills, raising their families just like you and me....

We're not. But the media only focuses on ISIS or anything negative about Islam.
