Obama condemns those who seek to 'hijack religion'

Yep, only once though. He got hit over the head about it so hard, even by his own party, we never heard it again. Of course, those in the Middle East never forgot it.

Yes. They still are. I don't want to say religion is expanding as much as tools who crave power tend to use a religion as an excuse to grab more power and of the major religions... Islam seems to be the more convenient tool to use as of late.

Jihadis have not hijacked religion, they have merely implemented a fifth century version of it.

Really, from OBL's letter fifteen years ago, to the most recent complaints, stuff that happened in the last fifty years is what's brought up.

Could you fathom how infuriating it would be to have been Clinton trying to mediate between Arafat and Ehud Barak? I'm sure who killed whom in 800 AD were being argued.

Ah, yes, I get your point. Disputes and grievances, one Middle Easterner to another, probably do transcend millennia. Of course I was referring to the complaints that Middle Easterners have with America.

definitely. You can never get to an end if you are always arguing over a beginning. Therein lies the problem in the M.E.

Yep. Islam was spreading through the use of the sword. The conquests of Christianity expansion isn't exactly bloodless. They also often took the "convert or die" approach from time to time.

This vid shows all major religions' beginning and expansion paths.

Ok, but even your own video shows that Christian expansion was in response to Muslim conquest and aggression.

So, when was the last inquisition? Is it even remotely on the scale of Muslim aggression? I think not.
 
j-mac said:
Ok, So nearly 200 years ago....And the practice was outlawed. And this you equate to today and Muslim aggression? How many died during the Inquisitions? I'd bet less than what is going on today with Muslims.

Nah... 30 years war which was Catholics going after protestants in central Europe. That itself was 7.5 million on the low end.

Convert or die. Different religion, different time... but same crap.
 
I have said it before...

ALL major religions are a complete and total waste of time.

Religion is for the weak and/or the ignorant and/or the desperate.

Religion is humanities dumbest invention.

Dude you have repeatedly shown a complete disregard for historical accuracy so don't come in here on a high horse.

Maybe you can do another 5 second google search to extremist far right wing websites to prove me wrong....
