What happens in the Congo is really representative of the world in the 21st century.

I guess when Islamic radicals quote the Qu'ran chapter and verse after lobbing off someone's head it's obviously the Islam to blame. When Christian extremists do it, they are not representative of of the Christian faith, it's the people to blame.

Please.

Just like the Qu'ran, the Bible has its share of bloodthirsty passages. I'm still of the opinion goog people are good, bad people are bad. Any belief system can be perverted to justify any action. It would just be nice if we viewed things by the same rules of perception here.

(cue justin or gsvol to call me out on defending Islam and attacking Christians here) :crazy:

I believe that the point us Christians would make here is....it is not OK to use the Bible, Qu'ran or any other religious writing to justify this action.
Man, RJD, you sure are judgemental these days. :)

To me, thats not really the point. Its obvious that some have different perceptions of all different kinds faith. And to go a step further, you can apply flawed perceptions toward just about anything if it fits you purpose.

Grouping all that claim the name of ______, in a situation like this is silly.

And if that was not the OP's intentions, the thread is not worth the effort on his part.

Exactly.

But it doesn't matter to some if we believe these actions are wrong, because since they claim to do it in the same faith, we are obviously cut from the same thread.

Can we just merge this crap with your "I'm taking my ball & going home" thread? They both offer about the same amount of truth & waist equal amounts of cyberspace.

You're as lost as a busquit floating down the middle of the Mississippi River.

There's no such thing as a moderate muslim. Islam is a violent political ideology with its own set of laws and court system. Religion is only one component used to impose islam on non muslim societies. Islam is anathema to the U.S. Constitution. The two cannot co-exist in the U.S.A.

to imply the bible and christianity has the same level as acceptance of violence as the koran and the muslim religion is basically showing you haven't studied either. let's not forget mohammad was a military leader. and btw i'm an agnostic.

We are used to it.

Christianity does not teach and preach mass murder and terror. Islam wants those who do not believe like they do to be murdered. Islam is not about peace or tolerance. A "good" muslim commits mass murder and/or accepts when other muslims do they same.
