Christian minister beaten by muslims

[Thesemindz]

Then again, what would I know? I only associate with pagans and witches. You know, the group that both "pious, loving, understanding" faiths like to take out and stone, stab, or burn to death.

If only you could invent a slower burning pagan, then we wouldn't have to burn so many to heat and light our homes.

Boston, new York....

i thought the northeast was supposed to be an enlightened, tolerant, place.

i thought racism was just in the south.....

I am confused now.... my whole world view is shaken to the core...

Oh, okay.

THis Muslim woman was ejected from a Louisiana mall for wearing a hijab.

This church in Jacksonville, Florida posted a marquee message that said "God loves you, Allah hates...(that's kind of funny! :lol

This Muslim Man in Clearwater, Florida was beaten at a Sam's Club by a man screaming "**** your Allah!**** your Mohammad!

There, all better now? :lol:

I just read that thread again, Crushing. I believe (no pun intended) that you are drawing an erroneous conclusion and one that will not help get this thread back on a productive tack.

This could be an important discussion about the nature and prominence of extremist elements in social groups, if it is allowed to not devolve into a bout of faith defamation.

Please, all, try to keep your comments relevant to the OP and check your knives at the door.

Yes and thank you sir as Twin Fist clarified his "isolated incident" statement as I was composing my previous post. I hope nothing I wrote was considered as "bringing a knife" or "devolving the thread into a bout of faith defamation". I was sure I was contributing something useful to the discussion as the threads appeared to me to have similarities.

I don't know. I thought you made a good point and a valid contribution.

Without excusing the violence you don't actually know what the vicar was broadcasting about Muslims.

Tolerance needs to come from all sides.

 

[Twin Fist]

has that really been an issue in the last 300 years?

I did a quick search but couldn't find anything. Can you shed any light on the substance of his broadcasts, Tez?

 

[Twin Fist]

it IS a very good point.

No one raised a stink when Phelps was considered a typical "right wing" person, they were just corrected.

if someone had claimed that the criminals in the OP were typical muslims, people would be raising hell.

that double standard is a BAD thing

Tez,
While I am a firm believer in the concept of "fightin' words" that being that there are some things you just dont say and not expect an *** kicking in return, religion shouldnt be on that list.

Yes they kill 'witches' still in several parts of the world. the last witchraft trial here was held during the Second World War.

I did say it doesn't excuse the violence.

 

[Twin Fist]

thats SCOTLAND, what do you expect??? LOL

 

[Gordon Nore]

...maybe it's time for both Christians and Muslims to grow the **** up...

Mostly, I would agree.

But I also think there's a bunch of haters out there who wanna hurt anybody who looks different. I wonder if religion is just the cover -- in many cases -- for people who just like to hurt other people.

You bet! There are nuts and haters all over who can't take responsibility for their malign thoughts and actions.... but "God" is on their side, so anything they do or say is okay. I have never been able to abide, "The Lord is with me, so I can * you" types.

You want to sow distraction and destruction? Do it on your own dime and leave God, Allah and Buddha out of it.

Funny how the low brow lunatics have so much in common with their fellow extremists a world away - but on the bright side, it is also wonderful that the majority of Christians, Muslims, Hindu, Buddist etc are really fine people who have so many decent traits in common. Let's hope that sane, decent and intelligent majority ignore the extremists and the bigots and concentrate on the good things all have in common.

The satellite TV station itself has been fined a large amount for dodgy adverts, it also shows porn!

Perhaps our Muslims were confused about what sort of beating they were supposed to be doing.

LOL! they may have just wanted the singing to stop!
The porn may have had a bit to do with it though, I can't see why a Christian minister would have a show on a channel like that, it is a bit objectionable really!

Yeah cuz there is no hate, bias or Bigotry amongst those people... one has only to read the comments on Wrens Nest to see how tolerant THEY all are. *rolls eyes*

They seem cheerful enough, but it would help to know what they are singing.

Well you can't just dangle that out there without any examples. What porn? Show it to me. Right now.

Truly. I can't even shop at Hot Topic anymore without being persecuted.

Here's a few. Some time on google will reveal quite a few more. I only went back 3 years, since I got crap previously when I went back 10....that whole "ancient history" argument since everyone's "growed up" so much since then.
