  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Stop bullying me.
I'm not. Just commenting on a post that seemed indignant that someone would base their judgement on peoples actions instead of their religion, background or appearance. Doesn't sound like that high of a bar that you'd need to start acting like they were claiming to be a saint.

Im 49.

People my age were in the prime time of their lives when 9/11 happened. People my age will remain in politics for the next 20 years.

...We're not all killers, but largely, have a strong, STRONG distaste for Islam. And we're not wrong. We're right.!!!
You live in a country where people are gunned down daily by your fellow Americans and you’re worried about Muslims because you can remember 9/11? It sounds like your thinking hasn’t evolved at all in 25 years.

Are you still using AOL too?

I don't think we are. Islam is a violent terroristic religion that oppresses so many people around the world still today.
Agreed. All religion is oppressive. None of them are really big on letting their adherents do whatever they want but naturally, some take their ancient texts much more seriously than others.

Christianity is a lot more wishy washy than Islam. I hope that’s not taken badly. I prefer the wishy washy Christians.
People who are practicing Islam in other countries are coming to the weat and committing all kinds of horrific crimes.
Yeah like going around stabbing random people in a ma… oh wait.
Islamists are ones involved in all of this. Those that are strict followers of Islam are the dangerous ones. It has been a dangerous religion since its inception. And still is.
If you ignore the centuries of Christian violence and conquest and colonialism and the inquisition and the transatlantic slave trade and mistreatment of the natives and the Salem witch trials and well you get the idea.

Most people do understand this. But just because we understand it, doesn't mean any of us want to kill Muslims.
Some of you clearly do.

A LOT of research has been done on Islam. The Islamists don't see the killing they do as murder.
Kinda like how some people don’t see self defense as murder. Or abortion. Or the death penalty. Or war.

Funny how subjective something this can be depending who you ask.

Maybe one day you'll "evolve" into a full blown apologist for Islam... Seems like you're on your way.

There seems to be some comparison between Islam and Christianity, but Islam might be more closely aligned with Judaism. The prophet Mohammad seems very much like King David in temperament and deeds much as Allah resembles Yahweh more than God the Father. Islam follows Abrahamic traditions.

Who cares. Not sure why you think any of that matters. Do you think I'm some kind of good Christian? Ive been to church probably once in the past 3 years.

Me.

I find it interesting that so many people deride Islam because it is not Christianity, even though Christianity is hardly univocal. It does seem to align more with Judaism, mainstream to mainstream.

No, I haven't ever thought that, since you asked. I don't know what you are because I find it difficult to accept that the more horrific views you've expressed (e.g. pro-genocide in Gaza) as completely sincere.

That's good! Because I don't care what you think about anything. In fact, let's not even speak to each other again.

Why the sudden hostile rudeness towards me? I will reply to whatever I want to reply to.

Btw, post #30 was not directed at you but to the thread in general. After that, I've only replied to your own questions directed at me so I don't know what the problem is.

The stupid philosophy that Christians dont like Islam because it's not Christian, and this being some religious quarrel is plain ignorance. There are millions of Bill Maher's out there that prove your little theory wrong.

...People hate Islam because of what it is. Not because of what it isn't (Christianity).

I wouldn't be surprised. Since the Bible was translated to English. In that part of the world. I don't think David would be a name.

I feel like some people, thinks this attack was a good thing, because the victim was a Muslim. I hope I'm wrong. But the person that attacked this Muslim man. Also tried to attack cops. And only received a few years. I think that is unacceptable.

Even if someone here does think that, it's not like it's anyone else's business... Are we going to invoke the thought police or something?
