10 Terms Not to Use with Muslims

Christian Science Monitor ^ | March 28, 2009 | Chris Seiple

[Myrddin]

Honor - an excuse to murder a family member for perceived disrespect.

[Slings and Arrows]

"We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity."

[rabscuttle385]

BACON

[SeafoodGumbo]

Hehe. Yeah, Muzzie is shorter than “Maniacal followers of a demented child-molesting, slave-owning murderer who follow their prophet’s example and who are a behavioral plague upon mankind.”

[Jack Wilson]

1. Clash of civilizations

plural indicates 2 civilizations, which is misleading.

[Myrddin]

justice - raping a woman, then stoning her for sexual impurity...with no consequence to the rapist.

[GeronL]

I understand they no longer have a print edition??

[a fool in paradise]

Religious Freedom." Sadly, this term too often conveys the perception that American foreign policy is only worried about the freedom of Protestant evangelicals to proselytize and convert, disrupting the local culture and indigenous Christians

And they SHOULD have to freedom to do this. We are told how many muslims there are in this world. They are legally prohibited from converting away from the death cult. They are oppressed.

Meanwhile the Saudis FUND the missionary expansion of Islam in America (who do you think is paying for those mosques?). This is in violation of our separation of Church and State (Hello, the Saudis live in a theocratic system, their State funds religious expansion and indoctrination in our country).

“Daisy Cutter”

[Nathan Zachary]

Never use these with "Mohammad was a" in front:

pedophile, rock god worshiper, mass murderer, thief, rapist, liar, mentally retarded, phoney.

[Dr.Zoidberg]

Sorry, but mohammedans deserve no consideration as long as they cling to a barbaric belief system that not only condones but actually encourages murder and rape as situationally acceptable ways of handling disagreements and enforcing subjugation of those thought inferior due to gender, race or faith.

When they abandon the madness of mohammed and their demonic deity, then perhaps I will care about what words and phrases they find offensive.

In the spirit of religious freedom and tolerance, or perhaps as a moderate interfaith effort at assimilation, I will agree to a reformation of sorts in that I will no longer speak of a “clash of civilizations” or of jihadis, provided that the latter exercise their secular freedom to get the **** out of my country.

[Stonewall Jackson]

I'll take you up on that.

Obama-"The clash of civilizations caused as the Jihadis try to force the assimilation of their Secular and Moderate brethren has resulted in the loss of religious freedom for many, but I am confident that a new era of reformation and tolerance will arrive soon that will usher in a new wave of interfaith freedom for the whole Middle East."

Yes, I know that it doesn't make much sense, but this is The One, and since when does anything he says make sense. ;-)

[Nathan Zachary]

Garbage? Other than potraying Islam as a valid “religion” it’s very accurate stating Islams intolerance of others.

[JimRed]

"Tolerance." Tolerance is not enough. Allowing for someone's existence, or behavior, doesn't build the necessary relationships of trust – across faiths and cultures – needed to tackle the complex and global challenges that our civilization faces. We need to be honest with and respect one another enough to name our differences and commonalities, according to the inherent dignity we each have as fellow creations of God called to walk together in peace and justice, mercy and compassion.

By any reasonably objective standard, Islam is intolerable.

[NativeNewYorker]

All the more reason to name the new tower at Ground Zero FREEDOM TOWER.

[IYellAtMyTV]

[IronJack]

1. Decency

6. Respect

8. Modern
9. Honesty
10. Friend

“Typical garbage from the “Christian” Science Monitor”

I thought that POS publication went out of business.
