Pastor Rick Warren, Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens) ,and Valerie Jarrett Warn Against Stereotyping Muslims

Why are they preaching to us... tell the Muslims to stop acting like stereotypes.

Thank you. You nailed it. I agree with you one hundred percent.

Yo, Rick, they’ll slice off your noggin as fast as anyone else’s. Get a clue, Rick.

Daniel Pearl, RIP.

“LOL! This guy Warren is such a con artist and clown. Is his congregation that stupid?”

He asked for $900k and the congregation kicked in $2.4MM so I guess the answer is yes.

LOL! This guy Warren is such a con artist and clown.

Is his congregation that stupid?

Apparently, YES!

Great minds think alike. :o)

A few days ago, Rick Warren, chief proponent of the gimme-get-some school of Christianity, was begging his supporters for almost a million dollars due to a contributions shortfall.

He blamed it on the recession. It’s entirely possible that this sort of thing has more to do with it.

I am feeling a rant....

I, like many others here, am getting sick an tired of being told we must pander to one group or another. These people want to kill us and our families and friends. Most of these group (Choose any one) we are being asked to pander too wish us harm. They hate us...Even Satan wouldn't would trust the I am a victim crowd. They are liars.

Any individual or group that acts in a stereotypical fashion is the stereotype. Stereotypes often have a foundation in fact. Deal with it.

Right now, the Muslims Extremists damn near have a monopoly on terrorism, intolerance and hate. The silence of the majority of Muslims implies agreement. That is not stereotyping but an observation. Prove me wrong.

Before any holier than thou piece of work tells us otherwise they need to look in a mirror first...That is of course, if their religion allows them.

Rant off

Valerie Jarrett is Muslim? It is impossible to understand why any American Woman would embrace Islam.

[DJ MacWoW]

Most people don’t understand islam. At all. When does their violence stop being isolated incidents?

[darkwing104]

Valerie Jarrett embraces anything that hates America...

[buffyt]

TRUE, had not thought of that angle, but for Females, Islam is horrible! I have a daughter, I do not want SHARIA law in USA.

[Rappini]

Good luck with that Rick.

Yet when Rick Warren revealed that his church was $900,00 in debt, Christians across the nation donated money to help Saddleback church to finish 2009 in the black. Apparently, American Christians support Rick Warren's escapades.

[circlecity]

This is unChristian. The unwritten assumption here is that Warren (or any of the “cooperating Christians”) will not attempt to evangelize and convert any of the Muslims. Clearly the Muslims would not have agreed to this unless that was observed. But, to work with or address a multitude of muslims without sharing the faith is to disregard the great commission. The clear implication is that working for worldly gains trumps salvation. He is trading eternity for a handful of magic beans.

"He must be killed. The Qur'an makes it clear - if someone defames the prophet, then he must die."

--Yusef Islam, commenting on the 1989 fatwa against Salman Rushdie.

As for Rick Warren -- well, I never cared for heretic clergy, so he can shove it.

As for Valerie Jarrett, as one of the gang of fools who currently runs this country -- she can shove it too.

[Repeat Offender]

Rick Warren sounds like he is one of those “many paths to Heaven” types. God will not be fooled. Rick Warren is a Purpose Driven Asshat whose purpose is to lead people astray.

[Othniel]

I second your rant, and here's one of my own.

I'll believe American Muslims are sincere when they send a large group to Egypt/Pakistan/Afganistan/Take-your-pickistan, round up the criminals who kill/rape/forcefully convert Christians, and either throw them in prison or behead them.

I'll believe American Muslims are sincere when they start informing on the imams and mullahs who call for the destruction of the West, the death of all Christians and the Jooooos, and who want to promote jihad.

I'll believe American Muslims are sincere when they set up groups to defend the West, promote democracy, and refute forced conversions and shaira law in Muslim countries. When I see bare-headed women articulately giving speeches in Take-your-pick-istan explaining that democracy is better for women than Islamic law, and that the women should be a force for social change in Islamic countries, then I'll take them seriously.

Until then they can go pound sand and/or STFU. Ditto for Rick Warren, who has become a MAJOR disappointment. Defend the gospel? Neh.

“Warren called on Muslims and Christians to work together to create respect, restore civility to civilization, promote peace and tackle major world problems.”

Useful idiot.

She was born in Iran. One of her parents (her mother, IIRC) is Iranian, and the other is a black American. I don’t recall all the details of her story though.
