Dave Mathews: “Christians have an obligation to struggle against hate, prejudice, bigotry, and violence … even when these are exhibited by fellow Christians.”
Don’t Christians then likewise have an obligation to struggle against hate, prejudice, bigotry, and violence when these things are exhibited by Muslims as well?
It’s actually interesting that you add “EVEN when these are exhibited by fellow Christians”.
Because that is an admission that Christians are in fact obligated to struggle against these things EVEN when they are NOT exhibited by fellow Christians”.
Yes? Because that is what your post implies – that Christians have an obligation to struggle against against hate, prejudice, bigotry, and violence.
Do you deny that Muslims worldwide are showing daily evidence of hate, prejudice, bigotry and violence?
Do you actually read jihadwatch and dhimmiwatch every day? Because if you did you would come to the inesecapable conclusion that Muslims are everyday – all over the planet actually – committing acts of hate, prejudice, bigotry and violence.
And you yourself have admitted that a Christian is obligated to struggle against those things.
So what’s your beef with Robert Spencer and his readers actually struggling against that hate, prejudice, bigotry and violence even though it happens to be being perpetrated by Muslims rather than Christians?
It’s fascinating that you dismiss every poster here trying to address the hate, bigotry and violence committed by Muslims every day – their struggle against that – as bigotry, while at the same time conceiving this high moral ground for yourself to struggle against what you perceive as hate, prejudice, bigotry and violence committed by Christians.
The only difference is that you think you are taking the high moral ground because you are attacking your own rather than “the other”. You have no problem mustering insane bigotry and vitriole against your own and you somehow think that that doesn’t reflect hatred and bigotry because its directed at your own rather than “the other”. You think that gives you the moral high ground.
You’re wrong. Hatred is hatred. Anger is anger. You’re no better than any other poster here. You just think you are because you’re attacking your own rather than the “other”.
That’s stupid. Sometimes one’s own side is right. Sometimes the other side is right. It requires reason and moral aptitude to tell the difference. You display neither.
We Americans were wrong when we had slaves and we rectified it (that civil war you like to mention as evidence of “Christian violence” without noting what it was fought for). Muslims are wrong NOW for wanting Sharia law to replace liberal democracy.
If this were the 19th century, no doubt many JW posters might well be abolitionists. But that’s history. So RIGHT NOW, Robert Spencer and his readers are focused on confronting what is RIGHT NOW “hate, prejudice, bigotry, and violence” being perpetrated by Muslims on a frightening world-wide scale.
And as you yourself have admitted, it is indeed a Christian’s duty to confront precisely that.
I don’t accept your implicit racist assumption (apparent from your vitriole) that only “white Christian Americans” can be bad and truly evil while those “beautiful” (your words) Muslim people can only be good but that’s because I’m not a racist, which frankly, I think you are.
There is only evil. It has no color. Or rather it comes in all colors. And Christians are obligated to fight it.
