Have you ever had any managerial training? I know there are a few who trash various religions or all religions, but I see less of that than you continually harp on. You seem to think it's fine to trash one religion, but not another. Back to the managerial training: the mantra is "focus on the behavior, not the individual." I've been trying to use the same logic, but from a different perspective. Focus on the individual, not the whole group. I'm no big fan of any religion, but the terrorists no more represent islam, than fred phelps or jimmy swaggart represent christianity. How about if you try to be a little more egalitarian, and chastise the islam-bashers as much as you do the christianity-bashers?I don't think I've seen an editorial page, or any other board than LPSG, which tries to address current bad bahavior (and the bad bahaviors - beheadings, bombings, hateful rants from the pulpit - are indisputable) by Muslims (and the offender's religion is also indisputable) with counter-tirades about the ancient history of some other religion.
That's quite a leap of faith. All you know is that it's propaganda. You're guessing as to whose.The fundie propaganda machine is already at work.
Too bad so many people can't be bothered to actually do some research on the candidates and issues before voting (if they vote at all).
If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and walks like a duck it must be...... a duck.That's quite a leap of faith. All you know is that it's propaganda. You're guessing as to whose.
What he said. And yes, the Catholic Cathecism states that they believe that Christians, Jews, and Muslims all worship the same God of Abraham. I am not sure about other denominations, but I don't think that is disputed amongst mainstream denominations.Any ...Not to mention that Allah in Islam is NOT the Moon God of Arabia. Allah means "He that is." very similar to the name for the God of the Christians and Jews who is named YHWH, which means "I am that I am."
Islam begins with the story of Abraham and his two sons, Issac and Ishmael. Abraham told God not to bless Issac without blessing Ishmael, so God said that he would bless Ishmael to have 12 sons and unto them will become a great nation. That Nation is Islam.
Muslims follow most of the Jew/Christian prophets as their own. The stories of the Old and New Testament are in the Quran as well.
The holy war? Propaganda. Bullshite. They're fighting over land. Christians should have no business in that. If anything, Christians should be promoting the ideals of Christ and helping to end it peacefully.
But instead we're bombing them all...because we're big and bad and powerful! And we have the big guns!

I'm sooooo ashamed of my country sometimes, but God Bless America!

Before I go to bed tonight and kiss my Muslim boyfriend good night and tell him I love him, I'll mention that I came across something funny on the LPSG site.
