If a Christian crazy kills someone, it's because they are crazy. If a Muslim crazy kills someone, it's because they are Muslim
the method of killing has a lot to do with it. If both shot someone, religion wouldn't be brought up, but decapitation is a strictly Islamic extremist method of killing...
Just want to clarify this for folks who aren't up to date. This is the mosque/Islamic center that Olajuwon built. Back in 2005, he was found to have unknowingly made donations to charity organizations that were actually fronts for al-qaida and hamas. Dream himself ensured that such a mistake wouldn't happen again (at his mosque or elsewhere in Houston) http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/news/story?id=1987790 http://seattletimes.com/html/nba/2002175880_nbanotes10.html This incident alone speaks volumes about these terrorist organizations and how innocent Muslims can get entangled in something nefarious even when they have the best intentions. I can happily say that we are in a much better place than before (in no small part to the cooperation of the American Muslim community and the US govt). Of course, we still have a long way to go.
No, in the case of the very few abortion doctor killings, it's not only because they are crazy, it's related to their religion as well. But in most cases, the difference is that the Christian crazy happens to be Christian, but being Christian is not the core motivation for the murder. The Muslim crazies aren't crazies who kill and happen to be Muslim. They kill because they are Muslims. They kill in the name of Islam and to enforce their views of how their religion should rule the land. Their interpretation of their religious ideology is the core motivation for their actions. That is the difference.
Idiot's analogy..for sure.. Jews were protected by Muslims for centuries , they followed them to Spain and southern EU for 600 hundreds years. The hate of Jew caused by Zionism & occupation of Palestinian land. If you speak about revenge... Christianity encourage forgiveness Islam encourage you to either get even or forgive.. Judaism does't recognize forgiveness at all, or still least this how is yours interpretation
http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/myths3/MFtreatment.html#n3 By your logic, you think that this justifies that Muslims around the world hate Jews, yes? So, by your own logic, do terror attacks by Muslims, do senseless murders and beheadings by Boko Haram, Taliban, ISIS, and genocide by ISIS then justify "hate of Muslims" by everyone else? (I don't think so, but that is your logic.)
Hate already exist , how can that be changed is of course by instating morals and justice...which require a fight against ISIS, PokoHaram ,Israel etc.. B Y the way ...Taliban, ISIS , alQiyda most of their victims are Muslims .
It's a travesty and shows where you stand that you would mention ISIS, Boko Haram and Israel in the same breath. Only a true fanatic would equate those. ISIS and Boko Haram are senseless murderers. Israel is the only true democracy in that region. Try to have a non-Islamist person from anywhere in the world travel to Israel. That person will be free and nobody will do the person any harm. Then try to send the same person into ISIS or Boko Haram country. Which doesn't make it any better...the life of a Muslim is worth just as much as the life of anyone else. Sadly, many, if not most, Muslims do not think like that. They think the life of a non-Muslim is worth less.
Muslims countries such as Saudi Arabia,Pakistan,UAE,GCC had waged a war on terror way back before the US. But I don't see many Jews wages a war against Israel, or at least they are a minority at this point. ISIS & Israel for example share many ideology such as: everything is justified for our own good,...others worth nothing..and don't tell me Nitniyaho is an exception ,as a matter of fact he seems like a pigeon next to Israeli right wings .
A. This guy was clearly crazy B. This guy was a criminal before he converted to Islam C. The mosque he attended specifically condemned beheadings and ISIS while he was at the sermon Using him as the poster boy of Islam seems a bit of a weak case. People see violence and anger from Muslims and react by labeling Islam as a violent religion, but you don't see that with Christianity. People have yet to make the link of how Islam somehow brainwashes people to violence or why the vast majority of Muslims are peaceful.
What about ISIS and the Taliban? And Boko Haram? As posted, the Taliban just beheaded 15 women and children. What about Daniel Pearl? What about the people just beheaded by ISIS?
I guess then we cannot say Democracy is the political system of peace considering how many people we kill in its name . . . Rocket River
