Yes I understand how the world works. I guess that I just have a little more open perspective than some. Some on here should read the Bible a little more closely and they will see that there are a lot of the same views towards women. Do all Christians follow the teachings to the exact word? No. But some do and they are the extremist. Do all Muslims follow the teaching to the exact word? No. But some do and they are the extremist. When or if China comes to liberate the American people from an oppressive regime that has weapons of mass destruction will you be an good civilian or an insurgent?

Those poor misunderstood Islamic fundamentalists, they only murder women and children because of their belief system. And because they can believe in whatever they want, then that makes it all just fine and dandy for them to do it. If they do it to us then it must be our fault.Originally posted by cyclonescott View PostYes I understand how the world works. I guess that I just have a little more open perspective than some.

I wouldn't say Iraq is on that list yet. But I don't think you're going to find anyone in here that supporter Obama on Libya or Egypt.Originally posted by cyclonescott View PostAgain look at how a lot of the extremist came into power.

You're ignoring that Christians (followers of Christ) are under the New Testament that views women as someone to be highly valued and even the worst in society to be treasured. Islam on the other hand has the old peaceful ways put aside by the pedophile that bastardized it. They actively behead, mutilate, stone to death and honor kill women and anyone who decides not to believe. Christians are murdered in Iran today. When was the last time someone was killed in christ's name?Originally posted by cyclonescott View PostYes I understand how the world works.

While some of the problems in the middle east were exacerbated by actions taken during the Cold War by a myriad of countries (US, France, Soviet Union, China, UK), you are not going to sell anyone on the premise that the specific root cause of world wide Islamic extremism in the 21st century is the sole action of US and UK administrations in the 1950s.Originally posted by cyclonescott View PostAgain look at how a lot of the extremist came into power.

You are right it goes back a lot further than the 1950's. We have had a lot of killings in the name of Christ in the last hundred years. Members of the KKK were mostly religious extremist. Look at Waco he didn't murder people but his extreme religious views were way out of the mainstream. I would even argue that some of the reasons we are invading some of these countries is based on our leaders religious believes.

The Klan didn't kill in the name of God, they killed in the name of those that created them, the Democrats. Waco wouldn't have been an issue had he been arrested outside of the compound but the ATF wanted to show they had a big dick and make a statement. That's a government failure. Christians haven't killed in the name of Christ in centuries. Islam is currently killing in the name of Allah and MomoOriginally posted by cyclonescott View PostYou are right it goes back a lot further than the 1950's.
