Now, I'm not saying that all Christians are hateful, far from it. It's a small handful, but unfortunately, they do exist. Same goes for every other major religion, this isn't exclusive to one or the other.

It isn't a hateful religion, which you'd know if you studied it. It is the hardline radicals that have that hatred, it is a sect, and they are terrorists. Please, please don't mistake these people as representative of the religion as a whole, because they aren't.

Now, you'd may like to research events such as the Crusades (all nine of them!), the wars involving the Hugenots, as well as the Thirty Years War.

Some interesting facts about Islam: we have a lot to thank the Islamic people for. They are, in fact, incredibly intelligent individuals. If it were not for the Muslims, we would not have the Arabic numbering system (which is really hella cool when you understand why the numbers are as they are), the works of famous philosophers such as Aristotle and Pythagorus, many mathematical formulas, and many architectural techniques, especially the dome, which has been adopted into a special feature of many Eastern Christian churches.

Aristotle and Pythagorus actually were Greeks. Not Muslims. The Muslims invented algebra though.

Of course they were Greeks. However, when the Christians chose to ignore/destroy all mention of them, the Muslim world did not and continued to study their ways. It was the Muslims who reintroduced their ideas to the Western world.

Edit: You see most of the great Greek philosophers' thoughts reappear in Spain during the time of the Renaissance. No surprise, the country was, at the time, mostly an Islamic nation.

And to think we call people out for holocaust denying. :eek:

What people fail to understand here, is that land was taken from the palestinians and given to the jews. The jews have basically become the nazis. They push settlements deeper and deeper into their land and run them off the same way the europeans ran off the native americans.

Personally, i think its ****ed up but its life. This stuff has been going on for centuries, and may continue on for centuries. Talking about it will only get you bashed by the biggots of the community. This country is propped up on poorer, weaker nations that we extort and rape every single day. Do i hate America? No, its a great place; i love my country. I just really dont like to see some of the things it supports and endorses.

Terry Tyler Wrote:Maybe he was legitimately concerned about the children.

Back to the US - I was following up on an interesting quote from Dean Rusk in 1966.
When French President DeGaulle demanded that he get all American forces out of France - Rusk asked "Does that include the dead Americans buried at Normandy?"


I was surprised to find Rusk submitted his resignation when his daughter married a black man. In 1966. The resignation was refused.

It shouldn't have surprised me that much since interracial relationships and marriages have occured for longer than the US has been a country.


Terry - you've got me curious - was your crazy grandfather Aryan Nation or Nation of Islam?

CIA thinks I'm right also.

Muslim (predominantly Sunni) 99.3%, Christian 0.7%

Interesting developments
The wife was white and the husband was black

The justice of the peace was

A democrat

But was

White

Our favorite Obama media owned by one of the biggest bailout companies
Which wasn't on the list of companies that had their executive pay reduced

Called the justice a republican

So which companies that took taxpayer dollars don't have to cut their paychecks 90 percent?
