Islam at it's core is the Arbian nomandic tribal way of liveing, wich is barbaric, kill your neighbor and take his stuff before he kills you and takes yours. That's how they have lived for thousands of years and Mohamad simply made a "relgion" of it, so he could justify his atrocities.

MMM; It's the US verse Islam allready, allways was, ever since we defeated the Barbry pirates, who were muslim. See, the quaran tells muslims that any muslim country defeated by a non muslim country has to be avenged, muslims must ever seek to defeat and convert that non muslim nation. That victory on the shores of Tripoli was the the declaration of war all the way back in 1815.
get your facts straight bro..
your arguments definitely lacks of truth and facts..
you simply said killing is part of the religion but there are tons of verses in the holy book that counter these allegations.. Islam is a religion of peace, the Taliban no shit about the religion since they don't even pray to God.. Majority of the muslims are living in peace with their neighbors but your media is supporting the killings in the name of the religion..

There are more than 1 billion Muslims today, with many backgrounds including doctors, engineers and academics; don't you think we know how to differentiate what is good and what is bad? Don't let a small minority of people who claims they're doing in the name of God cover your eyes and hearts to see the real truth behind it.. Every Muslim country condemns the act of killing innocent people!

I would say that Islam is NOT a religion of peace.... but many Muslims are peaceful people.

I say the same about Christians and Jews.

The Old testament advocates Genocide and racism. The New testament relies on the old testament to be true (Its kind of why the Christian bible includes the old testament.)

I really dont think that any religion is peacful, at least not always anyway. Haven't all religions tried to convert others by force? Haven't people killed in the god? From all religions? It's just because a group of people kill others in the name of their religion, that the whole world see's everyone from that religion as violent.

It's extremists, not the whole religion that supports killings >.>


My Life Sucks- The kids I babysit have drooled, ripped or drawn on all of the cards and put the cars with the little people in the microwave!

I have no Friends- The cats have scratched and destroyed all of the DVDs!

I always owe someone- In fact I put two os in it!

I always ruin my clothes with Bleach!- The show is so dom suspensful I spill my grape soda on them!

But . . .I'll live.

In my opinion killings and wars in the name of religions rarely have anything to do with religion at all. It's about power and politics and religion is just used by those in power to get the masses on board and create the fanatacism required to justify the atrocities they go on to commit. Patriotism and nationalism can be used for the same ends. Religions in and of themselves generally preach tolerance and compassion. it's only when men distort and twist the teachings that religions get used to do terrible things.

I am going to jump in here and say we are moving away from the news of the day into a religious discussion. Remember discussions about the merits of one religion vs. another are not allowed. The reason is they never end well. We tried it for a long time, and never worked. This is the warning as the thread goes forward.

Well, it's official, there will be no burning of the Quran. I think Terry Jones just wanted his five minutes of fame. I would't be surprised if this guy ends up with his own reality show, as many other stupid people have.

Evangelist: Florida pastor 'agreed in principle' not to burn Qurans - CNN.com

"Agreed in principle"
... One would think the issue of principle would kick in earlier.

I had a feeling he was misunderstanding the imam's offer. If there was going to be a decision to move the mosque, we probably wouldn't have heard it from Jones first.

About 29 hours to see what happens. It's kind of sad how this story is being followed.

Yeah I kind of feel like he is trying to do everything he possibly can to stretch this out as long as he can. And I'm not intentionally following it, but every news channel talks about him. I mean in front of his church are like a billion cameras, you'd think Obama was going to give a speech.
