DHS confirms arrest of Afghan man in Texas after bomb threat video surfaces online

So it's just more general "Muslims bad"?

I never said that. This is a discussion about terrorism, and Islam. Whatever you would like to discuss in regards to the topic is open for discussion.

..If you want to complain, and divert attention elsewhere, then that's not open for discussion.

Then what was the point of posting the video of the street preacher? What's that got to do with terrorism?

The stated need to put Islam into every home is aggressive. Wearing a mock suicide vest with wires hanging out is intimidating and agressive. Islamic terrorism is also aggressive. Do you agree that there are a lot of aggressive aspects with Islam?

Or am I not supposed to talk about these things?

It is? It sounds like every call for revival and evangelism that I've ever heard. I guess that could be considered aggressive, but that strikes me as an odd thing for a Christian to throw shade at.

There are some, sure.

You can talk about whatever the mods permit.

That's nice. But I'm not an Evangelical, and I'm not discussing Evangelical Christianity... So.

Just one day before the Terrorist attack against our @NationalGuard, another Afghan national who was paroled into the United States under Biden’s Operation Allies Welcome was arrested for threatening to blow up a building in Fort Worth.

Terrifying! Lord have mercy!

If you cut out the Arabic, that sounds a lot like hundreds (maybe thousands?) of evangelical services I've heard.

If you add the Arabic back in, it sounds exactly like basically every charismatic service I've heard, with their faux-Arabic "speaking in tongues."

No one mentioned evangelical Christianity. This isn’t about them.

In Islam there is a “sixth pillar” known as jihad which wants to make society as a whole more Islamic. How one interprets that depends on the culture and individual. Evangelical Christianity cannot be compared to Islam.

Did you miss the point of my comments?

The video was presented as him doing something bad, undesirable, or "aggressive." My comments pointed out that he's not doing anything that thousands of other evangelicals before him have done and continue to do every Sunday.

On this point, you're very, very wrong. "Making society as a whole more Christian" is exactly what the 7 Mountain Mandate seeks to do. It's a core tenet of the theology driving a lot of the swell in Christian Nationalism and it's also infused a lot of branches of evangelicalism that aren't explicitly Dominionist.

Dominionism isn't explicitly violent the was that "jihad" is often interpreted, but it does seem to becoming more tolerant of it.

doing you a solid!

take this link, and go start your own thread. Thank you!

What is the ‘Seven Mountains Mandate’ and how is it linked to political extremism in the US?

The Seven Mountains Mandate calls on Christians to gain influence, or ‘take dominion,’ over seven key areas of culture: religion, family, education, government, media, business and the arts.

Oh, my mistake. Apologies.

I’ve never heard of 7 Mountain Mandate. Thanks for the info. Then again, I don’t come from an evangelical or fundamentalist background.
