Now, why would anyone think that we should have any fear or be at war with such nice, peaceful Islamists?!

You want some pictures of bat-shit crazy Christians as irrefutable proof that all Christians feel the same way?
Want some pictures of the Westboro Baptist Church picketing soldier’s funerals? Because obviously they speak for all Christians, right?
Douchebag.

Poor tme. You seem to be stuck in “douchebag” mode. Can you please call me something new? I know you have it in you!
I feel the same way about ALL those people you mentioned. When the Westboro Baptists start blowing themselves up to kill innocent men, women and children, I’ll start worrying more about them.
Understood, buddy?

Because they don’t know any better than demonize a whole community based on a few bad apples.
Any link to the page on which those pics appeared, please? Thanks in advance.
I know there were over 400 protesters at this one impromtu protest. I think maybe 20 or so Westboro Baptists.
I dare think that the numbers of Christians calling for the beheading of innocent Muslims is rather non-existant when compared to the reverse.
Yours truly, the Douchebag

Christians wouldn’t kill themsleves (its a sin) they would just kill those they hate and save the trip to paradise for an other day after they repent.
Why?! Do you think your thread will bring anything new to this issue–or is it going to be more of the same anti-Islamic rhetoric?

In my warped mind, the “peaceful” Islamists have a duty to speak out against the hundreds if not thousands of " few bad apples" out there.
Are there any links artlicle where Muslims speak out against the few bad apples that seem to be everywhere?

Most likely it’ll be the same old rhetoric. Is that ok with you? If not, I’ll see what I can do to remeove the thread.
Experiment;
Allow a Muslim to build and advertise a new mosque in say, Baltimore. See what happens.
Allow a Christian to build and advertise a church in a Mulim country. See what happens.
Any takers.
the Douchbag.

Poll: To all Christians, who do you hate enough to kill?
- Me, I hate no one except for child molesters, rapists and murderers. Is that OK?
Christians have done their share of bloodshed. So has probably every other religion. The extreme ends of all of them are he worlds biggest killers.

I agree, but we’re talking about today. I cannot do anything about the somewhat distant past.
It just seems that that theory while true, is rather like calling European Americans slave owners. I’m concerned with what’s going on now.
There may be a lot of non-Christians dying at the hands of fanatical Christians today but I don’t see it.

Actually, despite its best efforts, even “The Sun” couldn’t conceal the truth.
Quote straight out of your article:
[quote]Mohammed Demasco, 24, who moved to the UK from Syria 13 years ago, said they did not represent the views of mainstream Muslims. He said: “Slogans saying ‘UK go to hell’ do not represent me as a Muslim. There is a lot of anger going around here and unfortunately you get idiocy like this. It makes me very angry and I have spoken to people holding these placards and asked them why they are saying such things.”
Secretary general Sir Iqbal Sacranie said: "The British media has taken a lead on the world stage by showing responsibility and restraint over this issue. It’s deplorable that a small group of rogue demonstrators has repaid the restraint with the type of language used at the demonstration. We totally condemn the type of language used.[/quote]
Now, if you don’t mind I’d very much like to have the link to those pictures you posted. The one you gave has different pictures.

This is a faulty experiment. Your control is in a secular State, but I’ll bite:
Let’s try to build the mosque accross the street from The Holy Sepulchre Sacred Heart Pentcostal Brotherhood Church off the Route 11 frontage road in Alabaster, AL. Do you think the vote to allow a new buiilding in the township will get past the bible-bangers on the township league?
You forget that there are many Christian churches already in the ME. Muslims do not hate Christians–they mostly hate America’s foreign policy concerning Isreal and those that align themselves with it. You are comparing apples to oranges here.
