Obama condemns those who seek to 'hijack religion'

Cephus said:
No, the point was that some Christians were waving their dicks around, pretending to be superior to Muslims, when given the same circumstances, Christians acted every bit as badly as Muslims are now. It isn't an attempt to villainize Christians, it's an attempt to show that both sides are pricks.

The point was to excuse islamic terrorism. What was accomplished was an exhibition in absolute ignorance.

I can't agree with that. The most orthodox Islamic texts--the Koran itself, the hadith, which interpret it through the sayings of Mohammed, and the Reliance of the Traveler, the 14th century text which spells out shari'ah in detail--justify much of the violence Muslim jihadists engage in. That is not to say none of them ever does things no Islamic authority approves, but in general their savagery is right in line with Mohammed's own extremely violent career.

It would have been more accurate of Mr. B. Hussein Obama to say that most of the people in the world who identify themselves as Muslims are only as peaceful and tolerant as they are because they don't observe their religion very conscientiously. Who does he think he is, to claim the tenets of Islam really are not what its official texts say they are?

Boo Radley, you are a leftist and thus cannot 'get through' to those with some understanding of history and with some political knowledge. I recall very well how you were laughably touting Obamacare as a money saver and good for the American people. Gruber had your type nailed, and so do I and many others.

You and Obama, a genuine liar, should get off your own high horses and admit to all the lies made, and the lies swallowed, by liberals such as yourself..

You have a poor memory. And to be honest, ACA has been better than your side's fear mongering has portrayed.

Unless Islam goes through a reformation, then I am secure in my analysis of the religion.

It is just one more thing you are factually challenged on, so you being secure isn't comforting or convincing. :coffeepap

Our employees rates have gone up by $300 a month on average, percriptions went from $15 to a percentage based system and the out of pocket has gone up by $2500.

Horizon epo silver.


It also increased this year.

I'm not sure "better" is the best word here.

I won't say I doubt you, but if you're being truthful, you're an anomaly. We went down 2%. And I can link for you how there has been no variation from the expected increases absence reform. So, if the overall effect is no worse than expected in cost and more are covered, better is the appropriate word.

Oh, I listen to reason. I just know when to stop listening to BS, especially when it comes from folks who either don't haven a clue what the thread topic is about OR are constantly trying to twist the issues around. This thread has gone from validating the fact that Christian did vile things during the Crusades in the name of God and the Christian faith to homosexuality and gay marriage and now to rehashing the ACA debate and unemployment. At some point you just have to know when to cut your ties. :roll:

You're the one that was only telling half the story of the crusades. Now, you're going to get pissy because you got called out

Yay! Hack sites!

You will believe and happily regurgitate any trash that smears liberals. Pathetic.

Yes, anything which doesn't support your grade school beliefs is a 'hack site'.

That's all you've got? No debate?

Another 5 second Google search without any substance.

Shocker.

Yes, it just takes seconds to Google for information, or should if you know what you're doing.

If there is no substance to those articles why not read them and be critical?

In fact it's your meaningless response which is substance-free.

Adorable that you think posting agenda-driven smear sites is actually an argument. What a joke.

Perhaps you can point out where George Bush ever lied. It was Obama who lied, not Bush, which might be an understandable error for someone who doesn't follow politics all that much.

Like I said, at some point you just have to know when to cut your ties with folks who don't have a clue what the thread topic is about OR are constantly trying to twist the issues around.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama on Thursday condemned those who seek to use religion as a rationale for carrying out violence around the world, declaring that "no god condones terror."

"Unless we get on our high horse and think that this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ," Obama said. "In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ.

I searched two pages of the BN forum, and couldn't find this story anywhere, and my apologies if it was already posted...But, come on folks....Give me a damned break! :doh This would be like Churchill during WWII telling us that although the Nazi's were bad, that maybe they were justified for what the Moore's did centuries earlier....It's a load of crap!

There is no equivalency....It's a false narrative that once again leads some to believe that Obama protects, and runs cover for terrorists.
