I really wonder: are you all so intolerant?
It's a shame you mess up it all. Muslims are not the absolute ennemis.
They are principally human beings as everybody, deserving a minimal respect for that.
And, you ought to distinguish: there are muslims, and muslim terrorists.
Muslim terrorists are only the bad part, intolerant part of that religion.
You cannot blame them if you are as intolerant as them.
And the other muslims are finally people who believe in a God: that is, they are just as Christians or Jews.
Don't forget that theorically, the only differrence between these three religions is that they do not accept the same prophets. I mean, Jews follow Moise, or somebody else, I'm not sure. They didn't turne in Christians, because the refused Jesus as the Messiah. And Christians, believing in the son of God, don't tolerate a later prophet, I name Mohamed. And finally, muslims are perhaps the most tolerant, because they say they continue the religion of the Bible. The only thing is that they cannot be in peace with the others because the othes don't accet Mohamed as a prophet.
I don't know if I am clear, tell me if not.
My only purpose here is to show that you shouldn't perceive the Muslims as Satan. Their religion is rooted in Judaism and Christianism, so the three religions are in a way the same (at least for Muslims).
Some of them may be intolerant, but Christians persecuted Jews in the past: it's the same a little.

I could be more precise if you ask me - it would be a pleasure - and believe me, such an intolerance is meaningless: the religion isn't to blame, but the foolishness of human beings, that is everywhere, even in America (with so simplified clichés which betray reality).

Friendly.

note: this is my second post, so you have never heard of me. I am a French fan of "The Way" and English isn't my native language. So excuse me if my words and syntax (and ideas) would sound weird or defective.
I do the best I can! :wink:

I think you need to be ashamed of your self. Were in here did anyone say they hate Muslims. Were, I don't see it. Most of the people here know about Muslims and what they believe in and know were it came form. I found you post unnecessary and stereotypical.

War, I admit my post was a bit stereotipal and exagerated. But I was under the imprssion you were somehow intolerant. So I chose to give a blunt post, to make react, to know clearly your opinion. I have read all the topic, and, fortunantely, you were for the biggest part subtle.
So, excuse me if I have offended you, it's obvious I lacked of delicacy.
I only want to know how tolerant you are, and if not, make the things clearer, because I really loathe misleadong about religions.
So sorry!

Ok, what I am seeing, is that Grunt was trying to say that you people are acting intolerant of other religions, the way you talk about muslims, and instead of a debatable response, War attacked him. Now War, I know that you yourself know about how these religions came to be, but not as many people in this world know as much as you and just as many know more than you. So you have no way of telling whether these people know about the religion or not. And I know for a fact that someone at this site, said they hated muslims, because they have terrorists, and I myself, have said that I did not like Catholicism (However, at that time, I think I was angry at something..)


Also, I thought about it.. And are not we the same as them, if we can kill civilians and military targets alike, with bombs dropped out of planes, instead of those attached to our body? Yes, they have chopped off the head of one (two if you count nick berg) person lately, but we have killed I think at least 20 people in Iraqi prison camps with cold-blood just like they did to ours.

in the words of Laura Bush: "War is Bad"




Lol, I love that quote.
Ok, I was falling asleep as I wrote this, so I may have typed something I regret. In that case, my apologies.

Well, I don't like any religion at all, but I still think it has a minor role in these wars. It can be useful to manipulate the masses, but the ones who give them orders are the "big ones" who couldn't care less about religion.
And I fear we're on the right road to become fondamentalists ourselves...
I mean, our government tried to take off Darwin's theory from schools and Bush wants to ban gay marriages.... Why don't them just make the Pope president, while they're at it? :roll:
Oh well, maybe they're taking talibans as an example, but someone should explain them they're a NEGATIVE example. :roll:

I'm friends with quite a few muslims. Religion is not a living, breathing thing so I know it's up to individuals to interpret it a certain way. I blame those individuals for their actions. I just think that the Middle Eastern culture needs to step out of the 7th century and into the 21st century. We don't behead people over religion anymore. People who do that are considered insane.

They say they want to stop what Hitler was doing and make sure it never happened again... But wait! Look at this! Iraq is pretty much the same in murderous ways!
