Are Liberals cowards when it comes to Religion?

[Liar]

case in point; the shootings in Sweden

Norway. But yeah.

 

[RobDownSouth]

and in those 5 years since.. we've had mosques vandalized, a guy running for preisdent saying he wouldnt hire muslims, attempted book burnings, attempts at passing laws so they can't build mosques, and of course blaming every single act of violence and terror blamed on them.. case in point; the shootings in Sweden--- the first reaction of the right on this board was to blame muslims

yet, somehow you see this as Christian persecution

And here in America, note exactly who it is that work ceaselessly to prevent certain people from marrying each other, prevent certain people from adopting children and prevent certain people from holding certain jobs....

 

[mercury14]

... attempts at passing laws so they can't build mosques...

Ah good one. What if it was Muslims trying to pass laws to ban Churches?

as our friend AJ might say, that...that....THAT'S DIFFERENT!

fucking Muslim nordic types always get me confused

They do that now. Overseas. But fear not, these laws are filled with love. Muslims lovingly prohibit the building of churches... it is the religion of Peace after all, and LOVE = PEACE.

so the only thing we can do is BAN THEIR CHURCHES FASTER

you know

to maintain the moral high ground.

a theocracy is a terrible and almost inevitably tyrannical way to run a government, nobody is disputing that, which is one of the things that makes america's history of religious tolerance and separation of church and state so essential and important.

The only thing we (the media) can do is stop walking on egg shells regarding all topics concerning Islam. The Media should investigate Mohammad the pedophile pirate with the same zeal used to investigate Christianity, and then and put their results on their prime time news format shows (e.g. dateline, 20/20, etc).

That will never happen. Why? News folk cannot be on TV without a head.

quick reminder that the theory that muhammad was a pedophile is likely a product of medieval antisemitism, similar in intent to the Jewish blood libel.

also lol if you really think the media coddles muslims in any way

and what does this post have to do with building churches or banning mosques, anyway? almost like you're changing the subject

I have a good response. Remember the car bomb that filed to detonate in NC (SUV filled with propane tanks)? The original story.

do you recall the news video that immediately followed? A white guy was suspected because a white guy was seen by the SUV. Bad reporting. I saw the still images. The still images provided no evidence that the guy was the bomber.

As we know now, the guy was not the white guy. Not even close.

that just sounds like sloppy reporting to me? speaking as someone who has worked as a journalist, it's hard as hell to get all your facts straight when momentous news is breaking. looks like they panicked and made the wrong call.

Maybe. But deep down, I believe the media wanted the suspected bomber in NYC to be a white guy. That would have reinforced their belief system.

 

[Loring2]

We will not ever have to worry about Sharia Law invading the legal system because we have the Constitution.

The Constitution has nothing to do with it Merc ... The Constitution simply tells the Federal Government what it can and cannot do. It is not a set of laws although some of the amendments look like laws.

A number of cases have been tried under Sharia Law and some people are indeed concerned, including me.

mind reading and opinion....wow, that's a compelling arguement

A cop is called to a crime scene where a known battered woman was killed. 90% of the time, battered women are killed by the husbands/boyfriends. The cops naturally look at the husband/boyfriend since there is a 90% change that he is the killer. They do not look at the woman that lives next store. They they investigate, and the evidence will determine who the real killer is.

That analogy is what we have with terrorism. When nearly all terror attacks on the US are performed by Muslims, we do not jump to the conclusion that an attack was by a white guy. It may have been a white guy, but history has shown that is will most likely be a Muslim.

So the media latched on to a photo of a white guy near the SUV. Very silly.

and all the times they latched onto a Muslim guy when it turned out to be a white guy... this is still some kind of media persecution of the poor christian white guy?

I do not understand that statement - makes no sense. Go on believing that Islam is the religion of Peace (it is not). Go on believing that Muslims to not behead innocent people (they do). Go on believing that the Media is not biased against Christianity, but biased for Islam.

reminder that the second most horrific act of terrorism against the united states was engineered by a white dude for secular reasons.

When you compare 'a white guy' to 'a Muslim' in the case you're quoting, you turn this into a question of skin-colour.

I think the liberals on this forum have answered your question. For myself, I am strongly against Islam, I'm an atheist. But Muslims are also some of my neighbours, people I see and work with every day. I prefer to get along with them unless there's some evidence they mean me harm. Who am I to know if I was born where they were born, and grew up the way they grew up, I wouldn't be a Muslim too? or even (Heaven forfend) a Christian?

Quoting other people's holy books provides endless sport for the prejudiced but is no guide to whether my neighbour is friendly or a terrorist. The Bible, for instance, has plenty of things to say that don't stand up well to 21st century scrutiny. These are books written long ago by people who lived in a different way. Ease up.

 

[paganangel]

Of course they are. They will try to debunk the existence of Jesus. But they dare not say a negative word about Islam, nor will they affirm the truth about Mohammad - the pedophile pirate. Why is that? Oh, because they are pussies.

Just venting.

maybe it just seems that way because christianity is more of a threat to america than islam.

you can always tell a simpleton by how liberally they around the word 'they'.
