The problem is that you're creating an 'us vs. them' mentality, and you've even advocated the use of violence toward Muslims, citing a lack of choice. I give no one who advocates violence any leeway.

It's not me advocating an "us vs. them" mentality. No? I must have read this wrong: Let me ask this AGAIN. Who's causing more trouble in the world right now? Christianity or the nation of Islam? Let me ask this. In the past 1400 years, who's brought more good (contributions to science, astronomy, civilization, modern comforts) to the world? Christianity or the nation of Islam? Were the likes of Newton, Pasteur, Kepler, and Paschal Christian or Muslim? ID: 1293044 ·

No, you didn't read it wrong. Let me ask you this. Who's been burning the U.S. flag, throwing shoes at pictures of Obama, killing Americans, chanting "kill American infidels", and rioting in the streets lately? Let me ask you this. If I were to vandalize your house because I don't like the way you think, can I say you're causing a "you vs. me" mentality? The ones you see doing that on TV are the extremists that the newscasters are trying to report on. You shouldn't let a small picture color your entire world view. ID: 1293048 ·

Well, those extremists are now launching mortor attacks into Turkey and getting ready to nuke Israel. Can you name any Christian extremists attempting to start WWIII? If you cite a lack of choice... you and those that think like you advocating violence which only begets more violence. ID: 1293051 ·

Are you trying to annoy me or antagonize me? You know that's against the posting rules, don't you? Those are all things you've said. Do the words you say annoy you or antagonize you? If they do, then don't say them. ID: 1293056 ·
