Extraordinary admission to interrogators by London bomb suspect

i don't get it. seriously. i'm not following. did you want churches to apologize for mcveigh?? for rudolph?? guys who weren't identified as Christians...who never identified themselves as such?

and what did the churches do in the wake of those acts?? played host to the other christians who were remembered in memorial services? in this culture, do you think/remember americans were looking to the church as culpable in these things??

it's apples and oranges. two entirely different things. because they're white and from america they must be Christian. you know that's not right.

 

What? It is important to know whether or not actions are creating more terrorists or not, one might think.

 

In scope yes but at the same time Christianity or White Americans aren't under as extreme a situation as Islam is. My point is that its human nature for a group to get angry when they see those of their own background getting killed, abused and humilated by an much more powerful force.

I've heard many Christians get angry about how the PRC are treating Christians. Lets say a Christian extremist launched a terrorists attack on the PRC and in response the PRC began to sumarily execute, abuse and public humiliate all Christians. Wouldn't you be mad? Wouldn't part of you contemplate violence? Might you even expect to see terrorism carried out against the PRC?

I would expect that you and most Christians wouldn't go and bomb the Chinese consulate but more than likely on a poll if someone asked you do you sympathize with the motives (stopping violent suppression of Christians) of those Christians carrying out attacks against the PRC you would probably say yes but state you yourself wouldn't do something like that and think its wrong to kill innocent Chinese civillians.

That's the situation with Muslims. Certianly most Muslims sympathize with the motives (stopping the invasion of Iraq) and are angry but by far the vast majority have said that they don't approve of terrorism. What's happening is people are reading the first part and saying "AH HA! 70% of Muslims sympathize with the motives of the terrorists so 70% of Muslims actually support terrorism!" when its anything of the case.

 

What do you call this??? http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=100000 You thought I meant POST, didn't you...?

 

sorry if I'm not communicating clearly. I'm not asking them to apologize for McVeigh or Rudolph. But there were bombings and snipers who attacked abortion clinics in the name of Christianity, there were attempted genocides by Christians in Africa and the Balkans that didn't receive much attention in comparison with what has been going on regarding Muslims and terrorism.

As I said originally the responses by Christians weren't too little, and it wasn't that Christians did nothing. I was not saying that. I was saying that there response was proportionately smaller than the Muslim condemnation. Again the key word is proportionately.

 

while not in the middle east, please dont leave pakistan out of this list.

 

Monaco.

 

True. Perhaps I misread your initial posts.

 

so then why in the hell are we interrogating these guys at gitmo?

you're an idiot.

 

It's called selective comprehenision and it is what plagues the far right today and it is one of the main reasons I (regretfully) am more supportive of Democrats today.

This clown in London says that religion was not a factor, but rather the war in Iraq. Because this statement doesn't appease the position of the right, it lacks credibility. Had he said that Quranic verses were his sole motivation for doing this and had he praised Allah while stating this, you could bet your last dollar and the farm that this fool would be the most credible character on Earth.

Certain segments of the far right are becoming more and more brainwashed everyday. It's scary.
