Remind me again how much money Christians raised after that Planned Parenthood shooting took place?

he's a baby defender to extreme christians, and they support what he did. they would never raise money for the victims, the only victims they perceive are unborn fetuses..

And that's the sad part. People rallying against Muslims, but turn a blind eye to these yokels already here.

bet we'll still hear about how muslims never denounce acts of terror.

Begs the question why Muslims specifically are raising money when this has nothing to do with Islam?

Because people like you do this.

[Boiler 46,250]

Do what?

Do what?

Find something negative to say about it.

Muslims should not feel any shame when a terrorist does something because of their twisted version of the religion. But, I think it's just human nature for them to sort of feel that way, even though they shouldn't.

But this generous act really shows the character of these people. To me, it's a really moving gesture.

And you're right, It really would be nice if churches did the same for the Planned Parenthood families.

That is the concept of empathy, which is lost on those with social apathy tendencies...

I think its a societal thing. If Muslims were a majority of the population or even a strong minority, it wouldn't be this way.

The last two shootings had idealogical motivations, the Christian one at planned parenthood and the Atheist one in Oregon.

Raise money? You don't see christian ministers condemning the shooter. But since he is a christian, he gets a pass - after all, he acted on behalf of the religion of love.

Actually--and you know this--it's because people killing in the name of Jesus are as rare as hen's teeth.

You know you my cousin, right? I don't think it's human nature. My opinion is they have to since they're collectively blamed for anything that happens regarding people who are identified as such. They have to condemn it, even though they shouldn't have to because if they don't, the belief is they condone it by being silent.

I know the church won't do it, not because they're not charitable, but we can separate the crazy from the sane when it comes to Christianity. Muslims aren't afforded that opportunity.

I'm not sure why you call it twisted when terrorists pull directly from the koran to back what they are doing. The koran has many passages encouraging violence. Why do you insist this is a twisted interpretation when not only is it pulled directly from islamic text, but spreading islam through violence is also, according to polls, supported by millions of muslims?

I wonder why you think that is. Edited December 10, 2015 by ExPatty

No they are not. History disagrees with you.

Oh, I thought we were talking about modern day, not back before any of us were born. Are we talking about contemporary issues or history?
