@61. Conservative Mom:
“They are not the same.”
It is true there is a difference between a political assassination and random attacks on military personnel.
“They are the same.”
The acts are not the same – but the root causes are. Religious violence manifests in different ways, but there is a common thread. Identifying similarities and differences is part of understanding the world around you. Accepting this is something that is inherently more difficult for conservatives, who prefer a simple and clear-cut answer for everything. Unfortunately the world is not that simple.
“Make up your deluded mind. The countries that are predominantly Muslim have no human rights for women and gays and you are okay with that?”
How is that different from the countries that are predominantly Christian and have no human rights for women and gays? I’m not okay with either scenario.
“Where is the peaceful religion.”
That would be any faith that does not include a jealous “God”. It is the claim on spiritual superiority or “divine right” that causes all these problems.
“The countries that are predominantly Christian have gone way overboard on human rights.”
In some cases, yes, the Christian torture of Muslims has gone overboard. We’re working on that.
“All the major players in Islam have stated that their intent is to turn the whole world muslim, one way or the other. What christian says that.”
Have you never watched television on Sunday?
“You will make up your deluded mind when the US becomes muslim through shear numbers, like France, England it will just take a little longer….”
France and England are far from muslim. Most of Europe is essentially secular. It is the religiously charged political cultures of the US and the Islamic world that make faith such a dangerous thing here. I look forward to the day when all this religious nonsense can be brushed aside as the juvenile ranting and abusive, immature culture that it is.
Peace.
