1. You did not say that. You said fanatic Christians are as dangerous as Osama bin Laden. When you say 'force beliefs upon', are you talking about handing out Bibles on the street corner, or killing people who don't believe? I agreed that comparisons between Christians of 800 years ago and Muslims of today could be made, but you insisted the comparison is valid today.
Originally posted by Swazo:McVeigh is an example of what a christian extremist can do, and those awful abortion clinic bombers/attackers are another.
2. But he didn't do it because he was a Christian extremist. He killed people at the Murrah building because he was pissed at the government for forcing themselves upon the Branch Davidians, not because he thought the people inside were bad Christians.
Originally posted by Swazo:The bottom line is that evil doing isn't a part of Islam,
Originally posted by Swazo:I'm just tired of what seems to be a christian dominate attitude that all of Islam is to blame for terrorism, when only a small sect of it is.
3. So which is it, evil-doing is no part of Islam, or 'only a small sect of [Islam] is to blame for terrorism?
Originally posted by Swazo:Christian's cannot make terrorsim an Islamic thing, when they too have partook.
4. How many times have you said not to generalize Muslims to terrorism, yet you show no hesitation in labeling Christians as terrorists?
1. Did you already forget about abortion clinic attackers/ bombers and even the Aryan Nation? They have their christian beliefs that they force upon the US with force. They use the word of God to kill and to hate, just like OBL chooses to. They may not be AS crazy (or educated for that matter) so they don't take it to his level. I'm not trying to water down OBL or what he has done. People should be able to identify who's really attacking them and it's his sect, not Islam.
2. Yeah, you're right davo. I bet he would've done the same exact thing if it was a Muslim sect being stomped out by the Feds. He just hated the Federal government and that's the ONLY reason he AND others did what they did
3. I'm saying that you cannot blame Islam for what a sect does, just like you cannot blame Christianity for what a small number of them do (Abortion clinic attacks, OKC, or an actual church like the Aryan Nation). I wanted to show that no religion will do things like this, rational people simply are above things like this. It's the radicals that don't follow along with the rest of the sheep and want to obtain more power within their group by spouting Hitler like BS.
