I don't understand why you are so touchy. This guy is human, not God. Just like Bush, just like anyone...I don't support every single thing Bush does or says, obviously this man is some kind of revered leader to you which is fine, but do understand that you don't have to agree with everything he says. Think for yourself.

Well, that wasn't the tone of your post. You seem to indicate that since Pres. Hinckley leads what to you is a "false Christian" sect, his remarks are of no worth. I simply asked you to READ them.

As a "Mormon" of course I believe that Pres. Hinckley IS a prophet of God (though a man, just as you say). But beyond that I think he is one of the great spiritual leaders of the world today regardless of religious persuasion. In that he is in good company, but he shines brightly in any event.

Oops, I thought I was answering another individual. What I should have said was "read the article again. He DOES say not to 'persecute the innocent' but he is talking about those of the Islamic faith who are innocent of any wrongdoing."

He specifically states that those who planned and carried out the dastardly attacks on the United States, together with those people and governments that support them, are guilty of terrible crimes and must be dealt with accordingly.

In short, you see some sort of contradiction where there is none.
