Quote:Bismillah
"In church every week I hear a message of peace, forgiveness and love. I have never heard anything about beheading Mulims, Non-Christians, or anybody else."
Me neither... I guess we are going to the right places of worship.
I know where I could hear about Jesus and killing people that are hated. The Ku Klux Klan preaches "christian values" and hatred. Would I ever claim that they are the Christian majority? No. Do I accept that they are a fringe group that gets attention solely because of their shocking beliefs? Yes.
Why is it so hard to understand the same exists within the muslim world?
Your attempt at moral equivalence linking the KKK in the U.S. and the various Islamic terrorist groups that are causing so much misery is not at all convincing.
First, let’s understand that the KKK is a hate group that has been the subject of rigorous prosecution by the U.S. government such that they are wholly marginalized. They are also the subject of ridicule and condemnation by the overwhelming majority of Americans.
Secondly, let’s understand that the KKK is not supported, sheltered, harbored or funded by the U.S. government as is the case with various Islamic terrorist groups who operate under the protection and funding of Moslem governments.
Perhaps it’s just me Dan, but I haven’t seen any news reports of heavily armed KKK members mass murdering bus loads of Episcopalians. I haven’t seen any news reports of KKK members winning political office while espousing the genocide of Jews or those who don’t share a KKK ideological leaning.
I note that you are the beneficiary of Western liberal democracy and thus enjoy the benefits of timely elections, the rule of law and you are protected from political parties whose members are masked killers who carry a loaded Kalashnikov everywhere they go. I guess you will just have to suffer the indignity of the western “moral compass” that grants you freedoms and protections that you, as a Moslem, would deny non-Moslems in your Islamic paradise.
