You don't know any?
Then you might want to take a look at right-wing columnist Michelle Malkin's book, In Defense of Internment. The basic premise is that locking up all of those U.S. citizens during WWII was the right thing to do.

Are you suggesting that Christian terrorist groups like the Phineas Priesthood have never actually existed?

I will read it, but I can only say that it was the wrong thing to do back then. I
believe those folks are due reparations soon.

I don't know of them, but I've been out of Catholicism for 40 yrs.
Give me a link if you can.

Then we agree.
Actually, please DON'T read the book. She might convince you to change your mind, and then our one area of agreement will be no more.

Are you talking about her blog?

I don't think it is a Catholic group, although it might be.
Actually, I think Catholics might be another group on their "to kill" list.

No. She wrote a book.

THAT's an interesting subject....but New Years Eve calls.....
Happy New Year to all and stay safe!

Come on..are you saying this isn't true?

American muslims are rarely the type that turn terrorist. But racism, hate and fear will always exist on both sides. Believe me if there was no 9/11 most Americans would not give a damn about Muslims. You can say whatever you want about Muslims good or bad, but the fact remains that the religion will continue to be used as a tool against us and as long as it does you have to understand that many Americans are going to be resentful. Personal feeling aside it is hard to ignore when leaders of soverign countries use Islam to call for the death of individuals and countries.

So we should give up on trying to educate people away from racism, hate and fear?

Strange, as so many Americans are and have been Muslim, and it's such a common religion here in America.

So are you saying we should continue to lump all Muslims together as terrorists?

I was talking about another poster....I'm doing fine, thank you!

Whoa miraja2.....these nutjobs are neo-fascist, white supremacist people!
That's a whole nuther animal than "christian", no matter what they say. These yokels run down the same road as the KKK, except they're more violent, and secretive. I personally feel these people are the worst screed on earth.

That is what Jesus said about violence. I will never really understand why Christians often ignore what their prophet said, and listen to what some fringe figure in the Old testament said. Other than what Christ had to say, I have absolutely no use for this religion. He's the one diamond in what is otherwise a book of sh-iit. The biggest difference here, is you can justify the killing non-believers (and those who try to leave the religion) with the ISLAMIC prophet's own words. You can't do that by reading Christ's own words. You can beat your wife(if you simply read what the Islamic prophet said about this) if you're Muslim. What Riot is saying is that their prophet contradicted himself. Riot, can you deny his said to kill the nonbelievers? Can you deny he said to kill those who refused to accept Islam as their religion? Can you deny he said to kill those who try to leave Islam? I don't particularly like either religion. I think a person could be pretty decent if they just follow what Christ said, but that form of the religion hasn't really been as popular as the form that uses the old testament(which has the more attractive message of hate for things people naturally already hate.) The Islamic prophet was violent, and this is the reason his followers are(often) violent. If you want a religion where the main figure encourages violence, then Islam is the one. They can't deny that. They can only say that he said conflicting (nice) statements as well. The part about Islam being peace -loving really is :$: It takes the best cake on the walk. That prophet slaughtered those who wouldn't accept Islam as their religion. You hear about Jesus doing such?

Tell you what, Scuds. You name the prophet, and you quote the exact quotes, and let's see what you're referring to.

(Don't quote some vague website's interpretation, let's see the original).

The following is why Israel will keep up with the air strikes even though major Hamas headquarters are gone.

A top Hamas leader and several members of his family were killed Thursday in an Israeli air strike in the Gaza Strip, as Israel pressed its offensive for a sixth day and a Hamas rocket destroyed part of an apartment building in the Israeli port city of Ashdod.

Nizar Rayyan, a cleric who served as a liaison between Hamas's political and military wings, had called for renewed suicide bombings inside Israel and refused to go into hiding, as other prominent Hamas members had done. His death, confirmed in a statement issued by Hamas, marked the first known killing of a senior leader of the militant group since Israel began air strikes on Saturday. Two of Rayyan's four wives and four of his 12 children were also killed after Israeli forces bombed their apartment building, Palestinian health officials said.

Racism, fear and hate are always going to be here. I'm not saying that attempts shouldnt be made, just that they probably wont be very sucessful as history shows. The % of Americans that are muslims is still quite small and is a long ways from mainstream. I never said we should lump anyone. But the reality of the situation is that things aren't going to change much and probably will get worse as Iran gets more bold in their rhetoric.
