The religion of death and insanity. Jone's Kool-Aid religion made as much sense. Perhaps more because the only people they killed besides themselves was a Democrat congressman.
Islam is a vile, barbaric, gutter ‘religion’ for a vile, barbaric, gutter people.Both should be wiped off the face of the earth and will be on the great day of Christ’s return.
Not a bucket of difference when it comes to all religious fanatics. They all B Nuts.
Islam has been holding over 1 billion people from progress and modernity since the religion was forced on people at the point of a sword. There is no hope for reform of Islam; it is stuck in the 8th century or earlier and hasn’t progressed much. Everytime I see a news story from Pakistan it reminds me of a biblical movie.
Define "religious fanatic".
I contend anybody who believes in capital punishment for “blasphemy” qualifies as a “religious fanatic.”
For a great many people, however, a “religious fanatic” is anyone who takes their religion more seriously than they do.
Many many Moose limbs,
Folks belonging to that church that protests at our military heros funeral,
Jim Jones type cults, etc.etc.
Great article by William Tucker. Thanks for posting. Great thread.
Life, liberty and the pursuit and destruction of totalitarians.
I just wonder how seriously Joe Boucher takes his religion. He seems to think that ALL religious fanatics, regardless of their religious beliefs, are nuts.
Most religious hospitals were founded by religious fanatics. Most street missions are run by religious fanatics. Most of the world wide charities are run and funded by religious fanatics.
You have to be somewhat of a fanatic to give up your own time and money and often your own life and devote it to the service of other people in the name of God.
Maybe Mr. Boucher can define for us what he means by "religious fanatic". If it is simply someone who takes their religion seriously, then I would hate to live in a world where nobody was a religious fanatic.
Mr. Boucher, if you were walking in a really bad neighborhood and you saw a group of 20 something men standing on the corner in front of you, would you feel better knowing that these guys were not religious at all or would you feel better knowing that they had all just come out of a Church service?
That is a pretty narrow definition of religious fanatic. That would include about 1/10000000 of the population of the country. Hardly worth a post on Free Republic, wouldn't you say?
I notice on your forum page that you think Abortion is Murder. To the MSM that would mean that you would be numbered among the "religious fanatics" whether you believe in God or not.
I'm sure they think you are a B Nut.
So who would you prefer to be numbered with? The "religious fanatics", or the godless left wing media types?
One fairly good definition of a religious fanatic is someone who feels compelled to do what God would do if He knew all the facts. :)
I personally believe someone can build their life around their religion and not be a fanatic. I define the fanatic as someone who feels they must try to impose their religious opinions on others.
Well then if you are critical of Islam, then you must be a fanatic!
...or a mosque?
That sounds pretty good. I’d go with anyone who believes the initiation of force is an acceptable means of religious discourse.
No.
RACIST!

Were I to imagine the message Satan would want to communicate to mankind, it would read just like the Koran: good works save you, anyone who doesn't believe like you is scum and should be killed, the ends justifies the means, etc.
I continue to assert that islam was directly inspired by the devil himself.
Think about it - if you were satan and looking for the perfect way to deceive God’s people, islam would be the answer. Give ungodlike thoughts and acts a veneer of religion, put them in a book and you’ve got a very efficient vehicle for enslaving billions of people and keeping them away from the one true God.
Too many people seem to forget just how intelligent and clever the devil really is. He is a master deceiver.
Here's a hint:
REAL prophets climb mountains to be closer to God.
They don't crawl into a hole to listen to the hissings of The Serpent.
I sometimes wonder why we are over there spilling our most precious blood and pi$$ing our money down the drain. When is enough is enough?
