I understand what you are saying and I appreciate that view, but to my
mind, societies evolve, devolve and evolve once more. Certainly, the
current situation isn't the best, but this is basically a tribal
conflict similar to any number of ethnic/tribal conflicts that
continue to infest world order and peace.

I'm not at all sure there is an answer.


As a start we could be less tribal.

do more to stop the extremists in their own religion.

You are right about militant Muslims. Same goes for Crusading
Christians and Zionist Jews. How the heck three religions that all
worship the same diety (the God of Abraham) can disagree and squabble
over everything so violently and incessantly is a wonder to behold.

Is that the new leftist mantra?

"Muslim terrorism is OK because the Christian Crusaders did it to them."

No. The new leftist mantra is "certain right wingers aren't perceptive
enough to understand that when somebody agrees with a post that
observes that extremist Muslims have hijacked Islam, and that when the
agreeing party additionally comments that Crusading Christians (that
would be modern as well as historical, btw) and Zionist Jews have also
corrupted the foundations of their own faiths for political purposes,
such a statement in no way defends or excuses the radical Muslims
originally referenced."

I know that's a long mantra, but since you asked....

But I do see where you're coming from: Rather often these days when
somebody in right field gets caught with a hand in the cookie jar the
automatic comment is
"liberals did it first or worse" and many on the right consider that an
excuse for the behavior- no questions asked. With that frame of
reference, I do understand how you might misinterpret an observation
that people from many faiths have corrupted the fundamental message of
their scriptures and prophets
as an "excuse" or defense of the first group that was mentioned.

Thanks for the sermonette.

I don't see many Christians or Jews blowing up buildings, airplanes, trains,
buses, and people on a regular basis. Perhaps that's why I took your comment as
one of those,"...did it first or worse..." types.

Really? I'll bet there's been more bombs used by Christians in the U.S.
than by Muslim terrorists!!!

OMG. Unbelievable.

Kevin,
Does the fact that you graduated from an Ivy League College help with your
"2nd degree Black Belt"? I bet you look great driving around town in your
"2nd degree Black Belt" and your "motorcycle".

I would love to see the link with the info concerning your "motorcycle". I
wonder, do you think your "motorcycle" would fit on Harry's "Lobster Boat".

Well let's see... I hate to interrupt your high-fiving, but a breif look
at the facts is in order:

Bombs set off in the U.S. by Muslim terrorists: 1
Bombs set off in the U.S. by Christians... difficult to determine,
partly because of identity of "Christians," but it's safe to say that
all abortion clinic bombs have been set off by Christians, and the KKK
is avowedly Christian also.

So, now who is the idiot?

DSK

Better look up the facts again.

I would have to say anyone who believes the *facts* you just posted.

When did the Christians accept the KKK into Christianity?
