Ah, so THAT'S why you make sure to constantly refer to the "Christian filmmaker" over and over again after abandoning your similar tactics of referring to him as an "Israeli filmmaker" over and over again became too problematical.

Remind me again, which people harbor the greatest animosity towards Jews and are persecuting Christians in the Middle East?

Early yesterday he claimed that he was Israeli and the film was funded by 100 Jews who contributed $5 million dollars. By early afternoon it was determined that he was NOT Israeli and he was NOT Jewish person.. He's an Egyptian Christian and an excon on parole for financial crimes and Meth production.

Haven't you followed the news at all?

Of course I have been following the news.

My comments were in reference to the very revealing nature of the rhetorical tactics you use.

Think about how the sort of Islamic practice you are engaging in can predate Islam by so many years? I already did, and since I am rational by nature, I rejected the possibility.

Do you remember in the Old Testament when Abraham lied twice to the Pharaoh saying that Sarah was not his wife, but his sister?

That's taqqiya.

You said that Al-taqqiya was was when you tell a little fib to your wife about her dress not fitting well. Seems you're now enlarging the definition somewhat and gradually revealing its true meaning.

Islam isn't, it's just a belief system. What's responsible for the violence are the people who engaged in it. Nothing more, and nothing less.

I understand that, but you can't pretend that these are just random folks ticked off at the US and have nothing else in common. Their actions are rooted in a religious belief that not only condones violent responses to language, behavior and beliefs they object to, but it encourages such violence.

They kill people in the name of Islam and I'm sick and tired of people in this country, especially the news media, looking for scape goats and doing everything in their power to avoid that reality. We live in a country where freedom of speech and freedom of expression are cherished and celebrated... You people (you know who you are) need to stop being politically correct cowards and start acting like Americans. That means calling a spade, a spade, and not attacking and alienating people who are only exercising their rights as human beings, to express their thoughts and beliefs freely.

ENOUGH

Frankly, we have been paying them respect for decades, in spite of all the crap they cause. The lack of mutual respect is in their court.

I never compared the Tea Party to Muslims. I asked that if some people believe that all Muslims are responsible for the actions of those whose commit offenses in the name of Islam then shouldn't all Christians be held responsible for the actions of those who commit offenses in the name of Christianity?

BTW, Christ was muslim.

Dream on. You're caught in the propoganda of your faith. Christ was supposedly decended from Issac's line (you know David?). The two brothers had different covenants with God. Ishmael's included being a warrior for he bristled at the restrictions of the basic tenets, especially that do not murder part.

Christ was not ever a muslim.

Not only that, but at least Christianity hasn't sat out the last seven centuries of history. You're welcome to worship however you want, but don't go trying to push the nonsense that Muhammed wasn't a warlord.

THE DAILY STAR :: News :: Middle East :: Egypt's Brotherhood withdraws call for nationwide protests

"Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood on Friday withdrew calls for nationwide protests in response to a film that mocks Islam's Prophet Mohammed, saying they would instead participate in a "symbolic" demonstration.

"In light of the events of the last two days, the Brotherhood has decided to participate only in a symbolic protest in Tahrir Square, so that there is no more destruction to property, or injuries, or deaths, as has happened in the past," the group's secretary general Mahmud Hussein said in a statement."

How about by sending them billions, or trillions, of dollars in aid over the years and helping them out whenever they suffered from earthquakes as well as other disasters?

What have Islamic countries been doing for western civilization?

Nada, correct?

Well it seems i stand corrected.
But this is a religious issue. This is not a government issue all around. True that some gov officials are calling for protests in various countries but oppression has nothing to do with this. There have been protests propping up all over the place even in Western democracies over this issue,.
