Really???? Where are all the christians killing women for showing part of their face?
Christians are not killing women for showing their faces. Christians are killing women for taking a walk or for taking a nap.

You don't think the United States has ever fire bombed a mosque??

So would I. And I do, often. This is practically everyone I know. They are not bad people, but they just don't give a
****. I don't mean the christian extremists. The extremists are at one end of the spectrum, Oprah is at the other, and that leaves most Americans right where they are, which is not caring about the rest of the world... even though their influence on the world is far greater than someone in some other country. Americans don't care, and it the world suffers for it.

Quote:Of course they're dangerous. I didn't say I wanted to hang out with them. But I think you're looking at only one side. Is it only evil destruction when they do it? Besides our military, just look at what happens any night of the week in any US city. Are those all Muslims, too? (Who doesn't look at the news?)
Care to give me any specifics on "just what happens" or are you going to just generalize everything?
I'm generalizing. It's "the news". Every day you hear about violence in the US that doesn't involve any Muslims. It's the same as ever.

Yeah. That might all change when they bring the War over here (god forbid).
So in other words... they aren't as bad
yet... but have the possibility of becoming equally bad???
Muslim extremists are fighting for their "truth". That's why they're dangerous. I'm guessing there are more than a few Christian fundamentalists directly serving in the US government and plenty more who are there, in large part, due to the support of christian groups. Most American Christians are not extremists (at least not in action), but if the war came to the United States everyone's priorities would change.

Imagine how they would be if they were fighting for civilization.
i don't have to imagine... I need only look at the muslim extremists right now.
Right. Do you think christian extremists would be less feisty?

Quote: THIS is all the bullshit war (and such).
The war is a small aspect of the larger issue and we are not targeting ALL muslims... just the ones that want to do us harm.
Do ALL the muslims in the Middle East want to do us harm? Or are you saying that we're only targeting certain muslims in the Middle East?

No you aren't. You are looking through hate fille glasses...
Yeah. That's right.

Oh, I see the forest, all right. AND the trees. Damn straight.
Quote:Your hatred of Bush/war is so overwhellming that you can't see the danger on the front page nearly every night.
I've lived in Texas most of my life. I am used to George W Bush, by now. I see the danger. And I see that the US is not too interested in avoiding it. I think they are screwing-up. What's the plan? Kill the enemy? That's it?

Quote:What are you suggesting, anyway? Are Muslims all just crazy?!
No, I am suggesting all muslim
extremists are crazy... jut as I consider all christian
extremists crazy. I just don't think that the christians are as
dangerous as the muslims.
That's why I brought up the point about where each of those groups currently is in this struggle. We don't feel the weight of it as much as those living in most other countries, including Middle Eastern countries.
