Christian Leader: ISIS is Beheading Children[W:131]

Re: ISIS Beheading and Crucifying Christians in Iraq

The Renaissance in Europe did not come at the barrel of a gun. Enlightenments rarely do.

Yes it did. The Renaissance was the rediscovery of Greek and Latin science, literature, and art that had been scattered (and mostly destroyed) by invading islamic armies in the dark ages-thats why they were "dark". Since well before the Crusades Islam had spread west and continued its destruction-aided by epidemics and plagues in europe. Some mistakenly claim it was german "barbarians" who overthrew the Roman empire-this is simply untrue. They wanted to be part of it-even learning latin and practicing the customs.

While Islam gets some credit for maintaining Latin and Greek from Egypt, the Holy Land, Constantinople, Greece, etc-it also destroyed over 90% of its captured literature as it expelled Christians from India to Spain, Russia to north Africa. Think of how the world would be today with that info.

Imagine living in the dark ages surrounded by beautiful but decaying architecture but having no idea what it was or who built it-let alone HOW to build it.

Blaming religion because radicals abuse the religion is iditoic. That's like blaming Christianity for all the kooks out there that abuse it and commit crimes in its name.

Or more importantly like blaming the gun instead of the person misusing the weapon.

This is done around this forum so often its not even remarkable anymore.
 
Re: ISIS Beheading and Crucifying Christians in Iraq

Last offer for my skills, degree and 10 years min of experience was $12hr as a IC?

Why get your "skills" when it pays LESS THAN MIN wage?

The rest is just a poster for revolution.

Sounds like you chose your career path poorly. You going to stay mad and continue to take money from others (your precious healthcare subsidy you brag about as if its cool) or go another way and earn what you are worth?

Just think though... one of these kids could have grown up to be Hitler. Time will tell... and then you will reap what you sow.
 
Re: ISIS Beheading and Crucifying Christians in Iraq

Yes, that whole "take care of your family, stay married, and go to work everyday" mantra is so childish. We should just smoke weed, take a bath once a week, and impregnate anything that moves like the liberals, and all will the nation's problems will heal.

I know you were kidding here-but its not really funny-theres nothing funny about ANY ideology that makes you scorn the things that will make you successful, and rob you of your initiative. This is why liberalism is so destructive-its intended to keep people ignorant, bitter, and dependent-on a political party.

And the Islamic Crusades against the Infidels goes on until their dream of controlling the entire ME is satisfied.. You Want Nazis? - Mark Steyn

They will continue their assault on the Jews, with leftist support of course, as well as the Bahá'ís, and any other religion which dares to compete with Islam..
 
Re: ISIS Beheading and Crucifying Christians in Iraq



So them killing innocent people because they are not Muslim, cutting the heads off of Jews because they are not Muslim, sending rockets into Israeli schools and hospitals for any number of reasons, cutting off the heads of children because they’re not Muslim, cutting off the vagina’s of girls because they’re female, shooting little girls in the back because they did not bother to cover their hair as they ran out of a school that was on fire, killing your Muslim daughter because she was raped by Muslims, walking into street markets filled with innocent women and children and then blowing yourself up and--my favorite--hijacking jets and flying them into towers like missiles killing thousands…

…yea, that’s my fault.



Yes, I know know they do.

That’s hardly news.

Everything is the US's fault and the solution? VOTE DEMOCRAT!!! ( :shock: looks at world on fire) :doh

Re: ISIS Beheading and Crucifying Christians in Iraq

That is quite true though, as Joe Biden and Barrack Obama admitted, they did win the war in Iraq.

It's very difficult for America to win wars any more because of Leftist hatred of America and their support of dictatorships throughout the world..

Indeed but beyond that they would lose a won war because of their politics-they did it in Vietnam, and they are doing it now.

 
Re: ISIS Beheading and Crucifying Christians in Iraq

Its tragic. A while back I stated the FACT that the means to success are simple-graduate high school (or equivalency), maintain (any) full time job for at least a year, and stay married (or equivalent). The single biggest predictor of future success being a 2 parent household. The forumite lost it and said I was trying to force people to get married. :doh

Merely for describing the traits of success I was attacked...and he thought that was a good thing.
 
Re: ISIS Beheading and Crucifying Christians in Iraq

Kindly show where Christians are systematically killing children based on their religion today. Its always muslims, deal with it.

Kindly read better. I don't think I said any such thing. Sense the metaphor escaped you. You don't judge an entire group by the bad things a small minority do. That works universally, and really is not profound.

From your Steyn link, his scathing observation:

ISIS are fast-track Nazis. No messing about with a few property restrictions and intermarriage laws as a little light warm-up: They're only in the business of "final solutions", and they start on Day One and don't quit until the last Christian and Yazidi is dead or fled. As I've often remarked about today's exhaustively cleansed Maghreb, Levant and Araby, Islam is king on a field of corpses. But pikers like the Muslim Brotherhood, the Baathists, the House of Saud take their time. ISIS are shooting for the Guinness Book of Records.

Fortunately, progressive opinion in the west hates Jews more than it loves Christians or Yazidi or Shia or Kurds, so ISIS can get on with killing everyone they want to kill.

...you have to pick your causes. To put pressure on Netanyahu, you fly in John Kerry to bore him to death. To put pressure on ISIS would require a commitment the west is not willing to make. So Christians will vanish from the region, and the Yazidi will vanish from the world.

As much as Americans might wish it were so, this is not just a story of one bunch of obscure foreigners sticking it to another bunch of obscure foreigners. It's also a story of a dying superpower betraying its friends in retreat.... You Want Nazis? - Mark Steyn

Being insecure is what makes people scorn the risks it takes to be successful. The added security of a Govt. safety net encourages risk taking not inhibits it. You keep forgetting that your ideology is aimed at keeping the status quo by idolizing and entrenching the wealthy class while belittling and terrorizing the others so they won't quit their bad low paying job to do something better. It's rather scary.

Keeping people 'insecure' and 'scared' is the natural consequence of dependence on government and inevitably develops into the perpetual adolescence of a people.

"Do we have to wait for the smoking gun in the form of a mushroom cloud over a US city". I think I finally found something to agree with you on.

Wait, you think a govt paycheck is going to make people take risks? NOT simply vote for their dinner? It creates an incentive (money) AGAINST making your own. This is basic economics-and why the war on poverty has been such a spectacular failure.
 
Re: ISIS Beheading and Crucifying Christians in Iraq

She acknowledges that 75-85% of Muslims are peaceful. Where's the conflict.

There is no conflict. The concern is for the 15-25% who aren't peaceful. As was said, peaceful Muslims are irrelevant, and hardly worth mentioning.

There you have it, as I said, you don't judge an entire group from the minority bad players. Though its been attempted here.
