The difference is that Christianity has been stomped into pig shit by everyone for the past hundred years and everyone is ok with it. If anyone insinuates that there's something wrong with any other religion, especially Islam.... watch the fuck out (verbally and physically).

Apparently the guy verbalized, in front of peers and commanding officers, his disdain for the war effort, which is sedition. Charges weren't brought against him because the people that heard his anti-war stuff were being politically correct and didn't want their complaint to be misunderstood.

I didn't say that. My original point is that they are downplaying the fact that he is a religious extremist, for no other reason than that the religion in question is Islam. If he was a Christian nutjob, then this would have been mentioned on equal footing with all of the other facts. This is why I disagree with your post that this doesn't have anything to do with Islam vs Christianity - it most definitely does.

I'm not a Christian, I toe the line between atheism and agnosticism. That gives me the freedom from beliefs to be able to see the clear double standard. It's the same way when a murderer is identified as black, it's profiling and racism. When a murderer is identified as white, it's a crazy fucking redneck. You don't have to be sensitive to one group through overcompensation by shitting on another one. Equality should be just that.

Ok off the soap box.

Uh, what? You seem to be mistaking Islam and Christianity. Islam is the religion that has been getting shit for the better part of this century. When was the last time you heard about a Christian terrorist? Never?

Getting shit how? In recent history, all you hear is about how Christianity has been a cauldron of evil since it began. People make fun of Christian priests as pederasts etc. I'm not saying that none of it is deserved. But I am saying that everyone is ok with it (well, except Christians, I hope). When anything is said along those lines against any other religion, especially Islam, then that person and anyone agreeing with them is an ignorant and racist shit. And again, I'm not saying it's not deserved but I am saying it only goes one way.

What planet have you been living on? Islam has gotten a very bad rap in the media in the past 30 years due to Islamic extremism. Do you not remember 9/11 and all the anti-Islam sentiment that followed? The Catholic priest sex scandal PALES in comparison. This country is largely Christian in case you forgot.

[dvs909]

then you don't know much about it. the same ill informed comment could be made of Christianity actually. i'm an atheist so i have no dog in this fight ;)

Christianity is not.
Christianity has no sanction for the killing of anyone. the entire new testament is dedicated to helping others not hurting.

Not true for Islam. Islam allows the killing of "unbelievers" and degrades women.

get your facts fucking straight before you spout off.

straight from the quran Surah 8:60 Strike terror into the heartsof the enemies of Allah and your enemies
Surah 9:14 fight them and allah will pnish them by your hands, cover them with shame
Surah 8:12 (this allows muslims to claim it wasnt them and it was god) i will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers, smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger tips off them. it is not ye who slew them, it was Allah
Al Bukhari vol. 1:25 mohammed once was aksed what the best deed for the muslim next to believing in allah was. his answer was "to participate in jihad in allah's cause"
surah 9:5 fight and slay the pagans wherever you find them, and seize them and beleaguer them and lie in wait for them in every strategem.

now shut the fuck up and admit im right.

Maybe the Bible should get it's facts straight.

I guess you didn't read the parts where the Bible also degrades women and talks of sacrificing children and wiping out entire cities.

Also, there are plenty of peaceful Muslims who will tell you that their religion does not allow the killing of unbelievers. It's all about interpretation.

your reading from the old testament. the old testament rules were superseded by the new testament.

also. see my post above.

if you have time red sunan of abu dawud chapter 1888, al bukhari vol 9:57, Surah 5:33, al bukhari vol 7:64, al bukhari 7:33, al bukhari 3:826, al bukhari 2:541.

all of you who think islam is peaceful are fooled.

Don't misunderstand me, I'm not talking about reality of the religions, I'm talking about the reporting of reality and exaggeration/generalization of it. Some pretty horrid shit has been done in the name of Christ, I don't think any religion can touch it. From my spotty knowledge of the religion, the old testament even said that it's ok to kill the non-believer, and through history, that rule was clearly taken liberties with.

When the media reports that a Catholic priest buttfucked some kids, or a Muslim blows up a school, or a black guy killed some people, or a white guy did the same, it's just telling us a fact (giving the benefit of the doubt for the sake of argument). The difference is how the facts are presented, received and used. When people say all Catholic priests are child rapists, or that all Pentecostals are all inbred simpleton retards, most people chuckle. But when you say that a Muslim is a terrorist, then you get hissed at. Sure, in your private circles, I can imagine that post-911, many share that sentiment, openly. All of the above is seriously ignorant shit to say, except somehow one is ok, and the other is not. And we come full circle to what I said from the beginning. This guy is an Islamic nutjob, but they barely mention it and try to imply that this immaterial - which, again, it very well could be but as a reporter of the facts, it's not their business to decide that. If it was a report about another Catholic priest pederast, they would not be emphasizing his psychological history or bad luck with women but that he's a Catholic priest who put his dick in some boys - the facts.

Maybe I am on a different planet but that's how I see it.

the difference is these priests dont try to justify their actions biblically. because the bible is against A. homosexuality. B. Sex before marriage.

islam encourages the murder, torture etc. of anyone non muslim

i agree 100%. they didn't even try to get out, just called for help and let themselves die.


can you and all the other obama haters just shut the fuck up? he is better then the clown we had before. you lost the race, that was a year ago, and we are not even one bit closer to "socalisum" so just shut up. if he actually gets around to doing anything then make a big deal. but that comment was so far off topic, you just look for every reason to hate the guy.



hope he okay man. my gf's dad is on his way back from iraq and they don't know where he is at the moment, so he could have been there (not likely but still). hope all is well with her dad.

Did Obama give you the courtesy of a reach-around as you wrote the above?

Yeah, Obama's doing a great job of fucking up the country while blaming Bush, as are you.

Newflash: Bush has been out of office for almost a year.

Obama has spent a ton of money with negative results.

When are you clowns going to admit Obama isn't remotely fit for the job?

my thing with bush and you obama haters is that bush is the one who fucked up the country but you love to blame obama. and lets think, if he had not spent the money then we would be EVEN DEEPER in this shit whole we are in. i do not agree with many of things he does, but again he hasn't done anything and you love to point fingers.
"before you point fingers, make sure your hands are clean."
bush put us in the shit storm we are in, obama is trying to fix it. but the whole point in my comment was that you take something like a man saying, don't speak before you know, and turn it into a comment about how he is a bad person and shouldn't be prez? really? we get it, you don't like him, now go sit and play nice with the other babies. the facts are he won, you lost, get over it. now back to the topic of this thread please.
