Ya ever hear of the Pope?
Or the Vatican?
How about a double standard…have you ever heard that term?
Ever think about what it means?[/quote]
The Pope controls neither the USA or an army. Nor is he trying to develop nuclear weapons. If this is lost on you I can’t help you.
Islam is not compatible with the US Constitution. If this is lost on you you can try studying the Constitution, the Koran, and the Hadith. Then again, many people seem to hate the Constitution and the idea of a free people. You may be one of them.
As for crazy things in parts of the Bible — Leviticus comes to mind — there are no worldwide movements killing people, taking over countries, and mounting successful campaigns against military forces, trying to implement the commands in, for example, Leviticus.
I find the “out of context” argument frustrates me whenever I hear it. Women in Saudi Arabia, Iran, and other places, are abused and killed for minor transgressions that leave me appalled — and should outrage all Americans since here these capital crimes would not be crimes at all. And gays? Ask the president of Iran about how many gays are in his country. At the point entire nations, some soon to have nuclear weapons, are “taking it out of context” I could really give a crap about context. At that point I’m more concerned about reality rather than some theoretical “context”.
As for some other comments just blame the Jews. It’s worked for centuries and seems as popular as ever. Clearly the efforts of the US military have been misguided these past nine years. All along it was the Jew we should have been killing. They’re the terrorist problem. Live and learn I guess.
I see a huge swath of America going along with the program because they don’t want to be accused of having a “double standard”. Thus a worldwide movement may, in a few generations, use the freedoms of their enemies (their words) to eliminate those freedoms. And we won’t even have the debate about whether or not women should be slaves because too many of us are afraid of someone called us a racist, right-wing Christian, or having a “double standard” even though, like me, none of those labels apply. Cowards all.
