![]() "NOYB" wrote in message nk.net... So which Big Time Cristians say the following? "He decided that the only treatment they merited was to have their fighters killed, their women taken captive, and their property seized as booty. Some Orientalists claim that Muhammad was cruel to the Jews, but this is how determination should be. One must be firm when firmness is warranted, and gentle when gentleness is warranted." Pope Urban II issued orders that the Moslem peoples should be all killed and the holy land freed from the non Christians. The First Crusade was the most successful from a military point of view. Accounts of this action are shocking. For example, historian Raymond of Agiles described the capture of Jerusalem by the Crusaders in 1099: "Some of our men cut off the heads of their enemies; others shot them with arrows, so that they fell from the towers; others tortured them longer by casting them into the flames. Piles of heads, hands and feet were to be seen in the streets of the city. It was necessary to pick one's way over the bodies of men and horses. But these were small matters compared to what happened at the temple of Solomon, a place where religious services ware ordinarily chanted. What happened there? If I tell the truth, it will exceed your powers of belief. So let it suffice to say this much at least, that in the temple and portico of Solomon, men rode in blood up to their knees and bridle reins." The Christians of that era were just as cruel and barbaric as what you are attributing to the Moslems of the time. Jim C. |

Name one "Big Time Christian" leader who is calling for a reenactment of the Crusades. Most Christians have progressed into a culture of civility. Many Muslims have not. |

Whether you wish death upon an enemy in ways you can actually accomplish, or believe death *should* come to them because of some mythological Armageddon nonsense in the bible, you're an asshole either way. Nobody's excusing what Muslim wackos are saying now. However, I *do* know Big Time Christians who believe it's only right that all the details of Armageddon should actually come to pass. These people are from one of the biggest evangelical churches near here - not really what you might call a fringe group. |

But the actual debate lies in *who* is actually the enemy. To me, it's the terrorists trying to blow up civilians. To the terrorists, it's any non-Muslim...or any non-Muslim sympathizer. |

The problem lies with Muslims who live by the Sharia that is practiced today in the Islamic states...namely the Wahhabis. http://www.meta-religion.com/Extremi.../wahhabism.htm |

Most Christians have progressed into a culture of civility. Many Muslims have not. Pat Robertson, for one. Here is a little quote from his book "If anybody understood what Hindus really believe, there would be no doubt that they have no business administering government policies in a country that favors freedom and equality. ... Can you imagine having the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini as defense minister, or Mahatma Gandhi as minister of health, education, and welfare? The Hindu and Buddhist idea of karma and the Muslim idea of kismet, or fate condemn the poor and the disabled to their suffering. ... It's the will of Allah. These beliefs are nothing but abject fatalism, and they would devastate the social gains this nation has made if they were ever put into practice." --Pat Robertson's "The New World Order," page 219. |
