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.
Islamophobia.

There has been evil since life first began on earth it's part of life, everything preys on something else just as we do and we prey on each other.

Actually God designed the world where there was no evil, but then Eve ate the fruit and with that Evil entered.

No I think we will leave it there because I have a feeling you will only quote the bible, which for me is just another book.

My opinion is that this is exactly backwards. Americans are perhaps TOO willing to believe that Islam is just another religion and that ISIS et al are what they are because of economic privation, or climate change, or because Israel won't commit suicide, or because of indignation at contemporary Western culture.
The sooner such Americans come to their senses, the better.

It may actually be both. Some people are too willing and some are scared at the mention of the words Muslim or Islam.

Too scared? If beheadings, hostage taking, sex slaves, and random murders of anyone that ISIS can get in its sites is not something that an intelligent person should be worried about--especially in the face of almost total inactivity on the part of our own government--what would you think WOULD actually merit such concern?? The "fear" actively promoted by the Administration that everyone will fry (a hundred years from now) because the temperature might go up one degree? No, I doubt that you'd say so, but then why think that "it can't happen here" when it comes to Islamofascism? We fought a whole World War over it already.

What I am saying is that I have heard of people going nuts at the mere mention of Muslims or not wanting to do business at certain place for THAT reason.

I mean I am NOT saying that we should not be concerned. I AM saying that if you see a Muslim on the street you freak out is not really doing much good.
