Would you eat any?

Let's consider this before saying that we would welcome refugees with open arms.

You talk like a govt agent tasked with instilling unreasonable fear in the population.

Is that your intent?

Do you realize you are helping the forces that want fear increased?

Do you think fear is a helpful thing to engender in keeping people safe?

[brainfreeze]

Geez you keep your head buried in the sand. "radical christians" have been causing trouble for far more of our lifetimes than muslims have. Ku Klux Klan. Regular community accepted lynching of people across America within our or our parents lifetimes. Attacks on abortion clinics. Westbro baptist church.

Have you even heard of The Lords Resistence Army?? Why don't you take ownership of their depraved inhuman actions... after all you are a committed Christian... they are your people so your repsonsibility right?

Surely we shouldn't be taking in Christian refuges as they do things like this?? All Christians need to be condemned for not speaking out loud enough against their religion's radcials!

And don't get me started on the damn murderous Budhists... or the callous Jews oppressing the poor christian and muslim masses in Palestine.


I kind of think that any person who identifies strongly with any religion should not be allowed into our countries as refugees. Good plan eh?

Again, this argument has no base, there was a reformation to curb people trying to use God to support a particular agenda. THE BIBLE SAYS, the Ten Commandments, Jesus said the greatest is to love each other as yourself, and love God. Anything else is man coming in between and cannot be blamed on Christ or Christians. THE QURAN SAYS kill infidel... Period, there's no way around it, stone women for adultery, chop hands for theft, 50 lashes for this & 30 lashes for that. It's an extreme religion, and no, my head is not buried in the sand, I just want better for America and the people in it...sorry ,

Don't be sorry. Just open your mind and see how hard you have to try to cast judgement over one religion whilst making excuses for the same behavior in another.

I've never heard a regular Muslim claim their scriptures demand that they kill anyone, 'infidel' or 'blasphemer' or anyone else. Only lunatic fanatics or ignorant people committed to other religions seem to be spouting that twaddle over and again.

• Allah's Apostle said: "I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah's Apostle, and offer the prayers perfectly and give the obligatory charity, so if they perform a that, then they save their lives an property from me except for Islamic laws and then their reckoning (accounts) will be done by Allah."
  • Narrated by Ibn Umar, in Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 2, Number 24
  
  
  
• Some Zanadiqa (atheists) were brought to 'Ali and he burnt them. The news of this event, reached Ibn 'Abbas who said, "If I had been in his place, I would not have burnt them, as Allah's Apostle forbade it, saying, 'Do not punish anybody with Allah's punishment (fire).' I would have killed them according to the statement of Allah's Apostle, 'Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him.'"

• The Prophet said, "By Him in Whose Hands my life is! Were it not for some men amongst the believers who dislike to be left behind me and whom I cannot provide with means of conveyance, I would certainly never remain behind any Sariya' (army-unit) setting out in Allah's Cause. By Him in Whose Hands my life is! I would love to be martyred in Allah's Cause and then get resurrected and then get martyred, and then get resurrected again and then get martyred and then get resurrected again and then get martyred.
  • Narrated Abu Huraira, in Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 52, Number 54
  
  
  
  • It has been reported from Sulaiman b. Buraid through his father that when the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) appointed anyone as leader of an army or detachment he would especially exhort him to fear Allah and to be good to the Muslims who were with him. He would say: Fight in the name of Allah and in the way of Allah. Fight against those who disbelieve in Allah. Make a holy war, do not embezzle the spoils; do not break your pledge; and do not mutilate (the dead) bodies; do not kill the children. When you meet your enemies who are polytheists, invite them to three courses of action. If they respond to any one of these, you also accept it and withold yourself from doing them any harm. Invite them to (accept) Islam; if they respond to you, accept it from them and desist from fighting against them. Then invite them to migrate from their lands to the land of Muhairs and inform them that, if they do so, they shall have all the privileges and obligations of the Muhajirs. If they refuse to migrate, tell them that they will have the status of Bedouin Muilims and will be subjected to the Commands of Allah like other Muslims, but they will not get any share from the spoils of war or Fai' except when they actually fight with the Muslims (against the disbelievers). If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the Jizya. If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands. If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah's help and fight them. When you lay siege to a fort and the besieged appeal to you for protection in the name of Allah and His Prophet, do not accord to them the guarantee of Allah and His Prophet, but accord to them your own guarantee and the guarantee of your companions for it is a lesser sin that the security given by you or your companions be disregarded than that the security granted in the name of Allah and His Prophet be violated When you besiege a fort and the besieged want you to let them out in accordance with Allah's Command, do not let them come out in accordance with His Command, but do so at your (own) command, for you do not know whether or not you will be able to carry out Allah's behest with regard to them.

You are still striving hard to judge others and ignore exactly the same level of sin amongst your own faith.

Do you think it is fair to judge you for the actions of LRA members?

Why do you strive so hard to engender hate for muslims when 99% of them are as associated with ISIS as you are with the LRA?

[Optional]

And btw, ignorantly quoting Islamic verses is about as admirable as me quoting bible verses about God's disgusting injustice back at you as proof Christianity is evil.

And we don't even need to get 10 chapters into Genisis before finding multiple examples a Christian hater could quote back at you in the same hateful fashion.

No, I wouldn't, but thats mainly because skittles aren't that important to me.

Empathy, on the other hand, is. Empathy is one of the few things that separates us as humans from other primates, we should use it every chance we get.

You just aren't getting it... We acknowledge the Old Testament ..WE LIVE BY the New Testament. Moderate muslim HAVE NOTHING to stand on... THIS is what their BOOK SAYS, it's not a particular group.

I'm not ignorantly quoting anything, if you like it so much, go live under shia law, I don't want any of it near me, period..Are you saying they don't stone adulterers to death ? Are you saying they don't sell their young daughters off to be " married " ? Their book says kill infidels, Christians, and Jews... You say " quoting islamic verses is about as admirable blah bla, this is their New Testament. Opti do you have children ?

Btw, I don't have to try hard at all to expose this religion for what it is. This was your statement, now I've shown you otherwise, yet you still reject the truth, hope you well with that. Don't give me any Old Testament talk either, hand that to the Jews, Christians live by the words of Christ, as muslims live by the words of mohamad, so please, show me the verses of Christ saying kill the infidel, ....... I'll be waiting.

Lol, after I blatantly show you otherwise ... Here maybe you will hear it from an atheist " non religious " then my bias self ...

I'm not interested in a conversation about which religion is the least bad. I think it's a red herring that is irrelevant to the refugee debate and Sour's skittles question.

Both religions have had countless atrocities committed in their name or with the protection of the men in control of them. But more than 99% of followers of both religions will never want to kill anyone for their god.

You're not thinking fairly when you post this sort of fear mongering or attempt to say they are the baddies and you are with the goodies.

Unfortunately, this his almost a year old and it never really happened. If it did, did anyone, anywhere in the world see a difference over the year?

I don't really need to know the answer to that of course. Are there any in the ever so large Muslim world that are actually denouncing extremism? Not just a voice or two, but some kind of movement?

Of all the billions, where are they? I know when Christian extemists do stupid shit the Christian population quickly denounces these acts, makes them little more than a famous crime.

I think I heard Osama Bin Laden once claim that the Muslims are foolishly killing each other, but that wisdom didn't seem to pass on.
