Obama: "ISIL Is Not Islamic"

ISIS is to Islam as Westboro is to Christianity.

The Westboro Baptist Church is murdering scores of people and unleashing hell on earth towards those in its' reach?

I know what you were getting at, but that's just a poor comparison of two completely different entities.

They are desperate.
 
Are the ISL following the teachings of Mohamed? Do you know what passages of the Koran may be inspiring them?

Phelps cherry picks part of the bible for justification for his actions, is he following the teachings of Christianity?
 
It's odd that you have the quote in front of you but still can't respond to the words. I never said Barrack Obama hated America.

This might be a serious problem because this is not the first time it's happened.

I'll educate you further,

Just curious, would anyone here arguing that ISIS fighters are not Muslim also argue that Crusaders were not Christian?
 
Judging by your previous post, I would say that in the IQ department, President Obama doesn't have to worry about competition from the likes of you!

Judging by Hussein's job approval ratings, his low IQ is the least of his problems.
 
"Now let’s make two things clear: ISIL is not Islamic. No religion condones the killing of innocents, and the vast majority of ISIL’s victims have been Muslim."

Oh really? There has been an ongoing war, even before ISIS, with Sunni and Shia Muslims killing each other, and both killing Christians - so exactly who is innocent and who is guilty?

Whether you like it or not, the name of the terrorist group is 'Islamic State'. They want a government governed strictly by Sharia, or Islamic, law. So yes, they are Islamic - the most fundamentalist form of Islam, but Islam. The Muslims are waiting for their 'Mahdi' - who is the anti-Christ. The Islamic religion itself is anti-Christian. It was created to directly oppose the notion that Jesus Christ died for the sins of mankind, and the Koran says explicitly that Jesus Christ is not the Son of God. So who is so adamantly opposed to Christ? I mean, there is no other religion that takes the religious text of another religion and twists it around to mean something else. The Virgin Mary appears in the Koran, as well as Jesus... only their roles have been changed. Those who think that they are following the same God of Abraham are mistaken - Allah is the ancient moon-god, and the crescent and star derive from him. So who is it that desperately wants mankind to NOT accept Jesus Christ as Savior - why the devil, of course.

ISIL represents Islam about the same as GW Bush represents Christian values. Wars, torture, lies, death and chaos are not Christian values, do you think?
 
What does that have to do with the US fanning the flames of it of late?
So the US arrived late to the party? Doesn't that strongly suggest that the US was not the cause of terrorism in the Middle East, as you have repeatedly claimed , or anywhere else?

You have a lot of options there but I'd appreciate if you responded to the words I actually used. This is because within that lengthy list there are differences, however subtle, among those definitions. And isn't it actually easier to respond to the words I used rather than those you've selected from an Internet web site?
 
Oh, stop it. The claim that Obama bumbles and stumbles his way through speaking like Bush did is simply asinine.

Without the teleprompter, Hussein very much bumbles and stumbles his way through speeches. That's when he comes up with gems such as "58 states" and "breathalizer"......and we have no strategy against ISIL.
 
Phelps cherry picks part of the bible for justification for his actions, is he following the teachings of Christianity?
Is Phelps following the teaching of Jesus Christ or excerpts from the Old Testament?

Some excerpts from the Bible are nonsense and were written by different authors, and many of these teachings were tempered by the arrival of Jesus Christ, who went off in quite a new direction. Most Christians understand where the craziness occurs in the OT, unlike locos like Phelps, and ignore it. But because the Koran is inspired solely by Mohammed Muslims are stuck with whatever the man said.
 
ISIL or ISIS, whatever name it is going by, is no more Islamic than Adolph Hitler was Christian. Yes, Hitler claimed to speak for Christians. So did Jim Jones. So did Timothy McVeigh. So did the Ku Klux Klan. And so did the Norwegian guy who killed all those school children. So do we brand Christianity as a false and hateful religion? Of course we don't. The fact that Muslims all over the globe, including even the extremist Wahabis, are condemning ISIL speaks for itself.

If it is not Islam that binds this group together, and their ambition to build an Islamic state, what to believe the connection might be?

What's with calling him "Hussein"? Did we call Nixon "Milhouse"? Did we call Reagan "Wilson"?

Oh, wait. I know why. Carry on. :roll:

Contempt-hate!

However they were not condemning Al Queda at any serious level. That is one reason the yet more extremist version of ISIL/ISIS is spreading. Americans, even in the deep south condemned the Ku Klux Klan. I recall Jim Jones being and David Koresh being condemned by rank and file Christians. None of those extremists are accepted in American society. Islamists in the arab nations and elsewhere need to strongly condemn and fight against extremists in their own ranks. And that is not happening on an effective level.
