Heads up to see what the leftists and liberals in American "Christendom" are thinking. Apart from the glaring omissions, historical and otherwise, (and the typical leftist buzz words), I would be interested in your thoughts.

Any way I can talk you into making a donation?? Thanks if you will!

Odd. If Christ is insulted fundamentalist Christians picket, protest, and tell their views. If Mohammed is insulted fundamentalist Muslims blow people up or put a death fatwa on them. But the press writes an article condemning which side?

[AD from SpringBay]

Yeah - that is odd.

Jerry Falwell told CBS' 60 Minutes last October that the Prophet Mohammad was "a terrorist" and a "violent man of war." This blasphemous remark insulted Muslims everywhere.

In what way is this inaccurate, and in what way is it blasphemous? Is Mad Mo now God?

"In what way is this inaccurate, and in what way is it blasphemous?"

Not inaccurate or blasphemous at all; a characterization I agree with completely. I was disappointed he later back-pedaled on it.

"Christian Zionism - and why it puts the world at risk"

Not the Wahhabi animals.

Not the Palestinian animals.

Not the rest of the Islamic jungle.

Christian Zionism is putting the world at risk?

It's scary that people who think this way walk among us.

*yawn* sojourners *yawn* 60's reject socialism with an attempt at a Christian patina... how utterly boring and useless.

"...It's scary that people who think this way walk among us."

You betcha'!

Yikes!

CAIR crapaganda
Israel is already established
Christian Evangelicals are merely trying to keep it from being destroyed and its children from being murdered by followers of the murderous cult called Islam

But the press writes an article condemning which side?

This was not written by "the press" as it is commonly understand, a secular point of view.

This article was written in a Christian magazine espousing a leftist viewpoint.

[happygrl]

Now Travis, you know that with some groups, it is not about the truth, it is about their feelings.

Muslims were insulted.

That's the point, not the truth.

Jerry Falwell told CBS' 60 Minutes last October that the Prophet Mohammad was "a terrorist" and a "violent man of war." This blasphemous remark insulted Muslims everywhere. Falwell's remarks followed a series of anti-Islamic statements from leaders of the Christian Right, including Franklin Graham, Pat Robertson, and Jerry Vines of the Southern Baptist Convention. The outcry from the Islamic world was immediate, including demonstrations in major Islamic cities.

Don't forget the part where he called Mohammed a "Demon-possessed pedophile" (see The Satanic Verses/Lat, Azza, Manat for the Satanic Possession thing, and see "Ayesha" for the pedophile thing). Of course, in the Quran Mohammed says at one time, the Devil put words in his mouth, and he spoke them. And it says he "married" a 9-year-old girl (Ayesha), who was his favorite wife. He got in trouble for sleeping with her more than his other wives (which is not allowed in Islam, men are supposed to rotate between their wives and do them all evenly).

As far as being a "terrorist," he had many people murdered in mafia-style hits, such as the woman who sang funny songs about him. As for being a "violent man of war," yeah, Mohammed kicked a lot of ass, killed a lot of people, and took the dead guys' women to be his tribe's spoils. It's all in the Quran, if you just read it.

It's blasphemous to talk about what's in the Quran--because it offends the left-wingers' supreme god: "Lord Selective Tolerance."

[Travis McGee]

Muslims are insulted every day that we down kneel and bow to mecca 5X per day.

I don't give a damn how insane murder cultists feel any more following the rantings of the pedophile terrorist Mad Mo feel any more.

[Travis McGee]

Every day that we DON'T kneel down. Sorry, typo.

[happygrl]

That's the spirit!

Too bad it was true. A man who beheads husbands and force marries their wives to his troops is, well, a terrorists and a violent man of war. Since the article is going to start with ignoring reality to embrace a more warm and fuzzy lie, I see no need to read farther. If I wanted warm and fuzzy unrealities over life I would most likely be a drug addict.

A man who embraces convenient lies over the truth is a liar, and a thief, not someone to study. Like most liars, they need many words to say what they want, as so much justification must be mixed in to make their stories palatable.

[knighthawk]

It's the truth, told by the koran and hadith. If that insults them, they are offended by their own believes.
