Islam and the weapon of deception

Yeah...I'm sure McVeigh had Communion just before he drove the truck to the building......weak

and like i said above...people will pounce on any and every 'fact' that backs up their beliefs, while completely dismssing anything that doesn't-and you just completely dismissed the fact, that until 9-11, the single deadliest terror attack on american soil was by an american and a christian-not a muslim. and that, dear sir, is what's really weak.

McVeigh wasn't a practicing Catholic,imo.....so he was essentially faithless.
But he was an American..so that means you're right.

The point Danzig made, which you of course ignored was that crazy people do crazy things, regardless of their religion.

I didn't ignore it, I just don't think that it's the answer to the question.
But thanks for dropping by.....

The attack in Okalahoma might have been the most deadly , but its not like the crazy Muslims hadnt tried to blow up the Trade Center before , I think it was targeted twice that I recall and they attacked the USS Cole and our Embassy , which was all a pre-cursur to the big one when they finally got the job done in 2001. Im not saying that other people of other faiths dont blow stuff up but right now in the world most of the violence that is being commited , is being commited by radical Muslims. Ill re-state that not all Muslims are doing it but all Muslims are culpable for what they let go on from the government right down to the farmers , the radicals have installed so much fear that even their own people wont make a stand and that is sad.

"Muslims" did not try to blow up the Trade Center before.

"Terrorists" tried to blow up the Trade Center before.

Sorry, those words simply are not equivalent.

Dude, you have completely missed the point.

Let's see ... literal ... literal ...

False: All blonde women are dumb.
False: Christianity is the most common religion in the world.
False: All Christians are racists.
False: All Muslims are terrorists.

i had a couple of points really...one is that a person will do what they will regardless of religion.
another point is that perception is reality to most. there are all sorts of fringe groups who 'believe' different things, but what it all boils down to is that they are criminals who seek to rationalize what they do.
terrorists don't commit crimes of terror for god, they use that to excuse it. if they didn't believe in god, they'd still blow crap up everyday.
my other point was, people didn't automatically make a correlation between mcveigh and his religion, but people automatically make that connection when it's a muslim.
i don't recall this sort of mentality when it was the ira vs the brits.
