Radical Islam pervasive at the Olympics

This is political not religious. Israels treatment of Muslims is what they are protesting about. Yes there is a double standard and yes it is silly, but that is how it is.

Islam is political, not religious.

No it is not.. if Islam is political, then so is Christianity as they are based on the same thing.

Chistianity is based on Jesus. Is Islam?

Several muslim athletes have gone to extreme lengths to show thier anti-semitic attitudes

A Saudi Arabian forfeited a match to not face an Israeli and Egyptian refused to shake hands with an Israeli and was sent home by the IOC.

Another win for "moderate muslims" and the "religion of peace"

Egyptian judoka sent home after refusing to shake Israeli's hand - Yahoo Sports

No, clearly those weren't moderate Muslims and that had nothing to do with peace.

You're quite easily confused by some really simple terms and definitions.

Yes actually it is. Jesus is one of the prophets of god in Islam...

Actually that is bull****. Islam denies Jesus is the son of God.

Yes and so what? He was a prophet no? I bet you deny that he most likely was black or dark skinned as well right? Or that he in fact had children and was married?

Fact is, Jesus is recognized by both religions, hence they are very much linked. Plus if you look at the old testement and the Koran (hell even the new testement), then there are tons of similarities... hating gays, pro slavery, women as second class citizens and so on and so on.

I know that, but thanks anyway. Have you ever read about Jesus in Islamic literature? It is a joke. The have Mary living at the same time Alexander the Great is conquering the world. More of Mohammads huge lie.

When did Jesus say he hated anyone? I'll wait.

Funny how only Muslims raised in a western culture can behave in a civilized manner

So all middle eastern born Muslims are guilty because of the actions of a few?

You run around here proclaiming that Islam isn't a religion and then throw out the nonsense from the book of fairy tales and you expect to be taken seriously? :lamo

The fairy tales I was talking about are spelled differently. Sorry.

I have said many times Islam is an ideology/religion. Pay attention. It is a complete system. It entails every aspect of life.

And yet you contradict yourself time and time again. Go figure.
 
PeteEU said:
And what about anti-Muslim, anti-gay, anti-Rusisian or anti-American athletes? Are they bad too?

What? Where on earth do you get that idea from? have you spoken to the people involved? All they did was refuse to shake the hands of an Israeli athlete. Now the most likely things is that it is political and due to the Israeli policy against Muslims. After all, have they refused to compete against Jews in general? No... not that I am aware off.

It is no different than people booing Gatlin after his silver medal, and I bet ya that loads of athletes have refused to shake Gatlins hand over the years.

Err...no. It's what he said regarding not recognizing Israel. I remember watching World War Z in Kuwait and the movie got really confusing at some point because it jumped around. I figured out that they edited out every part that mentioned Israel. The only reason I knew where they were at was because we saw street signs with both Hebrew and Arabic on it.

This is fairly standard.
