Let me see. If Karl Keating called for the execution of Jack Chick or John Hagee, how many catholics would flood the fundamentalist forums? And if they did, might they reasonably predict that they would be treated with at least coldness if not rudeness? Maybe Muslims aren’t posting here because their counterparts have called for the assassination of the Pope and they agree…What a red herring.
The question was: Why aren’t Muslims posting on this?
The answer has nothing to do with free speech. It has everything to do with being treated decently and not insulted.
If you feel an overwhelming need to insult Muslims just because of your free speech rights, I suggest learning Christian charity.
Well, you can dream that all you want, but they were active here well after September 11th and the 7/7…so that theory’s out the window.Let me see.

I am sorry, but that is just not true. I know you want it to be true, but it is not. The Koran is not supporting you on this one. Within the context of its pages, there are over 300 references about making war on the non-believers. The book advocates killing them…inocent or not! I have posted references on this site time and again. The Islamic faith is one of WAR, and the Koran stipulates this over and over. All believers are called to kill in the name of Allah, and those who do not are not obedient to their faith.Their religion does not command them to do this. The reason I have a problem with Christians today on this matter is that they are absolutely unwilling to consider the possibility that extremists might be disobeying generally recognized principles of a religion to serve their own ends.
That did occur to me once…then I compared the Bible with the Koran, and it answered my question. The difference is that Jesus never tells people to go out and kill inocent people…Mohamad does this over and over and over.Please answer this question: Did it ever occur to you that terrorists might be perverting Islam the same way they perverted Christianity?
Then you must ask yourself this question…Is the religion you will choose one of peace or violence. You can turn a blind eye to it all you want, but at the end of the day you cannot deny the scriptures of Islam…and they advocate violence. If that is the truth you seek, then you are headed in the right direction and I pitty you. If however, you seek a true religion of peace, that truth lies in the Catholic Church.I am asking myself that question right now. I’m not sure, though I certainly find Islam to be more attractive than Christianity right now. The main reason I am not Catholic, though, is that regardless of what else might be true, I simply cannot believe that it possesses the full truth.
I feel certain that he would not. I just love that Chavez guy…oooh Venezuela, now there is a country that has us all shaking in our boots. The bottom line with Chavez is that he is a supporter of terrorists. That part of the world is famous for harboring terrorists…which is why so many of the Nazis ran to South America after WW2. Too bad that he is so insignificant that he has to call Bush the Devil for anybody to notice him.**** Hiya Sadie…im just wondering, i just came from the tv room,and witnessed this Chavez guy call bush a devil…now im not a bush booster but i just wondered,would bush be afforded the same if he used such caracterisation!!!

That doesn’t answer the question.pro, Muslims insult us all the time. If I can take it then so can they. It’s part of living in a free society. Catholics aren’t out there trying to kill them for insulting us. I would say it is very uncharitable to say you will kill the Pope because you don’t like what he says. But I guess that doesn’t bother you. They need to learn to deal with real debate and disagreement in a non-violent manner. Which was the Pope’s point.
So? Chairman Mao and his followers didn’t think there was anything wrong with the Cultural Revolution. Fortunately, mere opinion doesn’t trump fact.Well, maybe you think it’s true. Muslims certainly do not think it is true that Muhammad only brought evil.
If this is so, and the terrorists are disobeying generally recognized principles, then where is the rebuke from the rest of Islam? The “real muslims” should have spoken out by now, openly admonishing the dissidents. Yet I have not seen that. Also, there are many, many muslims who are advocates of violence and terrorism. It is not a small sect of dissidents. Muslim clerics all through out the world call for our blood. If they are the minorty and in the wrong, according to thier own religous principles, then where is the rightous majorities’ outcry? The lack thereof begs to differ from what you said.Their religion does not command them to do this. The reason I have a problem with Christians today on this matter is that they are absolutely unwilling to consider the possibility that extremists might be disobeying generally recognized principles of a religion to serve their own ends.
It does happen and I have posted examples in these forums. But moderates speaking out against extremists is boring news. Its the sort of thing which doesn’t get much coverage because it is not out of the ordinary. Violence, on the other hand, is out of the ordinary which is why we hear about it when it happens. News coverage, by its very nature, presents a pessimistic view of the world.If this is so, and the terrorists are disobeying generally recognized principles, then where is the rebuke from the rest of Islam? .
Please name one major Islamic leader who has not condemned terrorism.If this is so, and the terrorists are disobeying generally recognized principles, then where is the rebuke from the rest of Islam?

It does not matter if they condemn it or not. What matters is that they support it every day. They also support violence against Christianity and public anti-Christian displays.Please name one major Islamic leader who has not condemned terrorism.
You’re claiming “clerics throughout the world call for our blood.” Yet I can’t find a single Islamic spiritual leader who does not condemn terrorism besides Bin Laden and Al Qaeda.
So please, find an Islamic spiritual leader besides Al Qaeda itself that does not condemn terrorism.
I see…so now it’s a billion man secret conspiracy we’re dealing with.It does not matter if they condemn it or not. What matters is that they support it every day. They also support violence against Christianity and public anti-Christian displays.
What they say to the camera is not significant. The way that they handle themselves off camera is…and you know this Pro.
Oh, spew, Pro. Give us a break. Do not try to paint the Muslims into a holocaust scene. More like the Nazis instead of the Jews, pro, from where we are sitting.I see…so now it’s a billion man secret conspiracy we’re dealing with.
People once said the same thing about Jews…“look, they do all this bank planning in secret you see!”…
Some things will never change, I guess.
