Rosie and Extremism

Right!

If the map shows Israeli settlements,
what about the lands that we stole from the Indians?

But only a Democratic Congress and President
will work on restoring those lands to its rightful owners, if not in kind then in dollars.

That is why the conservatives must be defeated in November.
Power to the People!!

Another example of the Bush Doctrine on hatred of gays. Bushie and his crowd will never let gays have what they must have under the constitution, and that is equal treatment under the law.

Why do we give so much credibility to sexually deviant talking heads? Rosie should be in therapy, not on TV.

Many of the tribes were nomads,
having no concept of realty ownership.

and many others did, so what is your point other to show your ass and damned ignorance in public? Why don't you stop playing with your guns a while and learn a little history and read up on the Albany Plan of 1754, from whence and where it arose and how Franklin used it to help Madison father the US Constitution

I remember that election thief KENNEDY

as I well remember Bush's, but I didn't hear you squawking about that. apparently you liked that theft, hypocrite

DISGRACING the word of George Washington
in a peace treaty that we established with an Indian tribe
( whose name I don 't remember ) whereby we granted them
permanent use of designated land " as long as the sun shall rise
and the rivers flow "; Kennedy screwed them
saying something along the line of that thay had
it long enuf. Trust a liberal to be a cheat;
if he is NOT a cheater, then he cannot be a liberal.[/b][/color][/size]

I mean, really, how screwed up can you possibly be? You post nonsensical remarks of which you can't even remember the details.

Attack Andy Jackson vs the Cherokee or Seminoles if you must, just please get it right once in a while.

They don't know a thing about gay people, Snood. Someone tried to denigrate RuPaul. Anyone who knows him knows that he is a marvelous human being who has contributed tons of money to charities all over the world. The Bushies hate gay people but that will not last. When John Conyers takes over the chairmanship of the Judiciary committee in the House after the Democrats take back the majority in that body, the born again bigots and haters will be brought to justice.

Let's begin with what I believe is a given: individually, radical extremists who murder, maim and destroy in the name of the Christian faith are every bit as dangerous as those who do so in the name of Islam.

However, it is clear that Muslim extremists represent a greater and more widespread threat to humanity than do their Christian soul-mates. This is not, in any way, to excuse Christian extremists or to imply that Christianity is somehow superior to Islam. It is simple reality.

The simple fact is that the number of violent crimes committed in the name of Christianity pales in comparison to those committed in the name of Islam.

There is every reason to decry Christian extremism whether it be the murder of doctors who perform abortions, the bombing of abortion clinics, or the disruption of military funerals. Christians who call for the deaths of homosexuals and idolaters, are no less repugnant that Muslims who call for the death of Danish cartoonists, and the Pope. However, this sort of behavior is not at all common to Christian cultures, while, I'm sorry to say, it is within Islamic cultures.

It's not the religions involved, it is the current cultures. The history of Christianity is chock full of horrendous crimes against humanity: The Crusades and The Inquisition are but two examples.

The fundamental difference between the Christian world and the Islamic world is the degree to which the cultures that comprise these worlds have evolved.

It is simply foolish to insist that in a discussion of current day Islamic extremism that we give equal consideration to Christian extremism. Major cities throughout the world have not, of late, suffered violent attacks by Christian extremists. Jihadis outnumber Crusaders by a vast margin. The major newspapers and magazines around the world are not running front page or cover stories on Christian extremist violence. The "Piss Christ" did not launch riots or demonstrations in the cities of the West, nor did recent explicit and implicit threats made against the life of the Pope...by muslims.

I suppose one might argue that this disparity of awareness is simply a result of the bias of a Western dominated world news media. One would be wrong, of course, but such an argument is to be expected from certain quarters.

Rosie O'Donnell has understandable reason to fear and loath extremist Christians, and, again, on an individual basis there is little reason to differentiate them from their Islamic counterparts, but clearly she, as have others in this forum, is making the not so subtle suggestion that the state of Christian extremism is every bit as pervasive and menacing as Islamic extremism, and this is simply not true.

As far as the subject which is dear to Rosie's heart goes, at it's least tolerant, Western (Christian) societies are debating only on whether or not gay and lesbian couples should have the right to legally sanctioned marriage. In Middle-Eastern (Muslim) societies, if there is at all a debate it is whether or not they should be jailed or stoned. On its current path, it will be another century or two before the Middle East even considers the question of same sex marriages.

I wud take issue with u Kuvasz,
but your ad hominem venom
betokens a state of hysterical confusion that defies logic.

I don 't choose to argue with Gracie Allen; forget it.
