Still concerned with the statement.
What's there to be concerned about? He's saying that he'll stand by those who he knows are being persecuted. Sounds like a good thing to me.

He needs to stop all the wars now!..What's there to be concerned about? He's saying that he'll stand by those who he knows are being persecuted. Sounds like a good thing to me.
He needs to stop all the wars now then.
We are persecuting the Muslims big time.
paraphrased and taken out of context.
This is the same quote I posted from Yahoo.

However, you "Win"!
Yes, my quote was paraphrased for impact.
Also, not all Arabs or Pakistani people are Muslim.
They are few and far between, for sure, especially these days.
Still concerned with the statement.

Islam, as practiced by the vast majority of people, is a peaceful religion, a religion that respects others.
"America rejects bigotry. We reject every act of hatred against people of Arab background or Muslim faith America values and welcomes peaceful people of all faiths -- Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, Hindu and many others. Every faith is practiced and protected here, because we are one country. Every immigrant can be fully and equally American
because we're one country. Race and color should not divide us, because America is one country."
"I have assured His Majesty that our war is against evil, not against Islam. There are thousands of Muslims who proudly call themselves Americans, and they know what I know -- that the Muslim faith is based upon peace and love and compassion.
I know what he meant in your interpretive context, what I don't know is what his context was.You and I both know that's not what he meant, so stop. He's saying that he dislike the tide of ill-will toward those of Arabic descent after 9/11, and hopes it never comes to an internment situation like it did in the 1940's with those of Japanese descent.
Islam, practiced by the faithful want to kill me.paraphrased and taken out of context.
Here are some fine quotes:
Islam, as practiced by the vast majority of people, is a peaceful religion, a religion that respects others.
I know what he meant in your interpretive context, what I don't know is what his context was.
So far, we have a confirmation from you that he would side with the Japanese during war time.![]()
What do you make of this Olbetang?Being born in the US to a citizen of the US, he became a citizen of the US at birth. That is the most plausible interpretation of "Natural born citizen".
I would side with those who were wrongfully interned as well. However, for us to second guess what the situation was in that day, and side with the politically correct idea of today and apply this new thought to the situation of yesterday, is less than honest.No, he's saying he'd side with those wrongfully interned.
Call me the twister, but it's my own.You know, Herbert, I'm starting to notice a pattern with you posts. Someone posts a quote that makes sense in context. You then remove a snippet of the quote and twist it to prove some strange logic.
I must be pretty good...When called on that, you twist another quote to prove your previous one, and so on and so forth.
I'm a Christian "fundie" by most standards here.As for Islam wanting to kill you, most of it doesn't. Only the Fundie bits.
Just like how the WBC and the KKK do not speak for all Christians, al-Qaida does not speak for all Muslims
I truthfully, have no idea what they say.So the WBC and KKK speak for you then?
I truthfully have no idea what they say.
I know what my bible says.
Support for what?But you don't deny your support for them?
See, Herbert, two can play this game.
Support for what?
Just by the word of the Koran...paranoia will destroy ya....
If Mr. herbie and his wife decided to make way from Haiti on our raft, and Mrs. herbie was pregnant and we were giving birth on our raft just outside the shoreof the USA?What am I supposed to make of that? :o
