    He's crazy. His whole accusation of me being racist for calling out racism is just ludicrous and why I don't even bother responding to him. I think he just has a personal issue with me like ATW.

    What specifically do you expect an apology about? I pointed out the difference in attitude. So in what way have you been wronged?

    My favorite is by Gandhi, "God has no religion".

    In ancient China, when a person commit certain crimes, the king no longer chop off that person head, but everyone related to that person. Wipe out a whole family and all their relative. Why? Punishment to the guilty person. Showing all that if you do a crime, it's not just you getting punish, but everyone related to you. Fear that someone related repeat the crime. That behavior was perfectly normal centuries ago in China.

    In today American, when a person commit certain crimes, the Right no longer punish that person, but everyone related to that person religion. Wipe out the whole Muslim people from land of America. Why? Punishment to the guilty person. Showing all that if you do a crime, it's not just you getting punish, it's everyone related to your religion. Fear that some Muslim will repeat the crime. That behavior is perfectly normal today in a large percentage of the Right.

    You could highlight text out of either book and read out of context to freak people out .I'm willing to guess those in the video have never read either book.

    Not sure why that would have "freaked you out" .. The story is not to endorse this behavior but a warning against

    The general point that the Bible(especially Old Testament) and the Quran both have crazy passages is a good point to make. However, another point is that modern Christianity generally does not follow those parts of the Book, while Muslims today are much closer to the source material.

    The fact that the average Christian doesn't even recognize those passages proves the point. What are the Old Testament dietary restrictions? How many times a day are you supposed to pray? Not working on Sundays? How many Christians really follow that?

    Most Muslims do follow their practices and that's really the biggest difference. Christians have forgotten about the Crusades. Muslims think that it's still going on.

    And how did Christians come to forget about the crusades and their bloody history? What do you think happened in Europe to allow for that?

    Ehh..Europeans can't remember what happened 50 years ago, let alone 500 years ago. Americans don't have very much cultural memory of the Old World at all, but maybe you are talking about the Reformation.

    The Crusade era was a 2 way war. Muslims were also aggressors. They conquered Spain, parts of Eastern Europe, all of the Byzantine Empire. They also spread eastward through India as far as Indonesia during that time. They use the term Crusaders today like Europeans attacked and conquered large parts of the Middle East in that era, when it was quite the opposite. If I was from the Middle East, I'd be way more angry about the Colonial era after the fall of the Ottoman Empire, when European powers colonized the Middle East and then Post World Wars when borders were drawn by drunk European diplomats.

    I don't think so. The story is God completely destroys two immoral cities and everyone in them (children too) except for four people. However, the 4th is also condemned to death because she disobeyed and looked back while fleeing. But the the virgin, incestuous, rapey family get to live happily ever after with their families?

    Don't really think it was a happily ever after story .Maybe someone knows more but I think the punishment might have been on the descendants of the incestuous relationship.

    You're wrong, flat out. I already quoted you chapter and verse, so feel free to go back and quote the warning for us.

    Two angels came to save Lot before Sodom was destroyed. Lot showed extreme hospitality to them. The men of Sodom came after the angels. Lot resisted the men and said "You can gang bang my virgin daughters instead of molesting my guests." The men didn't agree, so the angels struck them blind. Later, Sodom was indeed destroyed and Lot was the only man saved--because he was favored by God although he would allow his daughters to be gang banged by the sinners whom God was soon to destroy.

    Later, Lot's two daughters got him drunk and got pregnant by him.

    And they all lived happily ever after.

    That obvious? Someday, it's my primary language. Other days, it's my 3rd. Right now I'm feeling 50ish. That feeling will change tomorrow.

    This is correct, Lot's two incest, rapists, daughters bore two sons. The first Moab (which means "from father") started the tribe of Moabites. The second, Ben-Ammi (which means "son of my people") started the tribe of Ammonites. Both tribes were located in the area of modern day Jordan whose capital today is called Amman. Both Moabites and Ammonites were later condemned by God not for incest rape but because neither assisted the Israelites when they fled Egypt and they worshiped Moloch/Maleck. The theory is during Roman rule of the Levant, they completely integrated into Arab populations.

    I'm glad that we can still pride ourselves on being a tolerant nation and haven't lost our core values. These idiots are small minority but I hope that candidates like Trump don't encourage more hatred and cause their numbers to grow

    I'm not a Muslim, but of Indian descent. When 9/11 happened, I was in the 5th grade and fell victim to numerous insults and being bullied incessantly for many years.

    I look back and see these 11 year-olds and can't help but to think the ignorance stems from parents sitting on their couch and formulating their opinions shaped by Fox News.

    For those who express their faith (wearing the hijab), I can't help but imagine what they encounter more frequently.

    I'm really sorry to hear that man, nobody especially innocent kids should have to deal with that nonsense.

    Firebombing cafes is not a big deal given the terrorists are killing people!! Muslims should shut up and take it as a minor price to pay for their friend's doing wicked things - Islam is evil religion that inspires hate. Kill their families! Nuke Mecca!

    -Signed ATW and other hate apologists.
