Skyrad 0 #2 November 15, 2006 This shit has been going on for ages on both sides. Its a secatarian war and as in all secatarian wars those who kill in the name of God (Whatever they call him) are the furthest away from the teachings of their proclaimed religion. QuoteThree Christian men were executed there last month for their role in a massacre of Muslims in 2000 and there have been a series of deadly attacks in the province in recent months.When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

They told us beware going off base (Clark) or the Huks would behead you. Same shit different day. Was even more fun when Marcos declared martial law.

Darius11 12 #5 November 15, 2006 Is this religion of peace bull shit getting old for you two? The peaceful Christians have killed 30K inocent civilians in the past 2-3 years just in Iraq and they have the nerve to judge others and talk about peace. I wonder if they are incapable of seeing there own Christian and Jewish friends who seem to make cold judgments on how many civilians dead is an acceptable loss to them. For the really stupid I have to put this in here cause god knows there is lot of stupid people in this world: I agree that beheading anyone is a barbaric act and I agree the people who did do these actions are worst then animals, but please don’t bring religion or nationality in to it. If you do decide to bring those classification in to the debate fine, but please pick up a book (if you can read) and look at history. See who has shed more blood? Who has started more wars? Who was responsible for more genocide? If that is the way you want to remember things lets not forget Hitler was half Christian and half Jewish. I guess that speaks for all you Christians and Jews out there ha?I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Equating wacko fundamentalist Muslims to all of Islam is like equating Fred Felps and Timothy McVeigh to all of Christianity. Darias and Skyrad's only mistake is when confronted with acts of Islamist terrorists, rather than point out how they are not like the majority of Muslims, they bring up the crusades, Ireland, etc. Unfortunately by doing that they are giving creedance to those who lump all believers of one faith into a messy whole. steveOrino Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Skyrad 0 #13 November 15, 2006 Hmmm...Food for thoughtWhen an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.
