Obama: "ISIL Is Not Islamic"

Cephus said:
That's total nonsense. There are plenty of U.S.-based Christian groups that are very adamantly for killing gay people, for instance. They just can't do it because secular society moderates their behavior. However, that doesn't stop them from going to places like Uganda, where a very heavily evangelical Christian population almost passed a death-penalty-for-gays law. They still passed a law requiring life in prison for any homosexual caught in the country. This isn't Islam, it's CHRISTIANITY!

Not non-sense, but it just is.

As I've already stated there are people/hate groups out there who will use certain passages of Biblical scripture to their advantage if it suits their agenda. It happens. Where I take issue with your comments above is there is a difference between religious zealots who take a literal view of religious tenants and apply them across the board to everyone (i.e., the Taliban on the more extreme side or the Roman Catholic Church on the more moderate, mild side) and there is the more practical religious legalism where the basic tenants of a religion are used as the foundation of Man's laws, i.e., the Ten Commandments applied here in America. We don't murder, steal, lie ("contempt or court"), commit adultery or even accept juvenile delinquency without knowing there are consequences to our actions. Taking your example of homosexuality, there are many laws on the books in several States across this country where sodomy is illegal, doesn't matter if such is committed between a man and his wife or two gay men. But do you see many arrests being made for such a sexual act except where it is committed against a child or in the case of rape or sexual abuse? No.

I'll grant you there are extreme views on all sides on a multitude of immoral and/or unlawful acts, some based on common sense others because society at large called for such and still others because the immoral behavior is rooted in religious tenants. Some countries take it to the extreme, some don't. All I can tell you is be glad you live here and not there.

Well I have your reason pegged. You just cannot stand criticism of "Hussein" Obama.

Except for, you know, the times I criticize him, which is fairly often.

Again, stick to what you're good at. Telling others what they think ain't it.

This inept bumbler is the President of the United States and still needs his followers to decipher what he was really trying to say. It becomes ever more pathetic for both as time passes.

And they get a lot of practice trying to clean up after gaffomatic Joe Biden.

That criticism is rare from my observations.
 
Grant said:
Rare? You've seen an occasion?

His specialty is ad homs, simplistic one-liners, and emoticons.

Yeah, I can't think of an occasion where what I would consider a criticism of the Obama administration came from Kobie.....

The Battle of Omdurman
Click to expand...

A lot of it had to do with the Maxim Gun. Maxim gun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A witness described the scene.

"They could never get near and they refused to hold back. ... It was not a battle but an execution. ... The bodies were not in heaps—bodies hardly ever are; but they spread evenly over acres and acres. Some lay very composedly with their slippers placed under their heads for a last pillow; some knelt, cut short in the middle of a last prayer. Others were torn to pieces[SUP]"[/SUP]

This is why it's utterly pointless to deal with your general brand of partisanship. Because you'll continue to lie to achieve your ends.

Congratulations on completing two sentences in one post! Of course it could have been one sentence but you still get A for effort.

Which partisanship would that be? I am an independent who has no use for establishment politicians in either party. I just vote conservative if such is running and hope for the best.
 
So Islamic people saying ISIS isn't Islamic are discounted in favor of the anti-Obama meme. How predictable.

" In news which will make no one feel sympathetic, the Isis militant group are reportedly peeved that the French government has started to refer to them as ‘Daesh’.

The group, usually referred to as Isis or Isil (and calling themselves the Islamic State) believes the new name to be derogatory, according to the Associated Press... "

That should read "a few Islamic people" who appear to be high school students.

If ISIS is not representative of a true Islamic State why don't you list a few of the Islamic dominated States which are?
 
I'm going to ask again to see if any of the Islam apologists will answer:

Were the Crusaders Christian?

It seems that the defense being rendered by the White House and apologists here on DP is nothing more than a simple "No true Scotsman" fallacy.
 
Who is innocent? And who is guilty? It wants a long discussion.

Yes I am. Just wondering why you used the term moslem. It is a variant of muslim that has hardly used for decades.

They don't used the word corset very often, but that doesn't change it's meaning.
