  • 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.

Let me say something here...I think it would be safe for us not to jump to conclusions about this video until the FBI authenticates it or whatever they do. If this is coming from the "LIBERAL" media I find it hard to believe. Remember, the media has an agenda and will do anything to get that agenda done. Also, remember the liberals do not understand that who we are fighting is detrimental to our survival. They attacked us, not us attacking them. So, if the liberals don't believe this war on terror is good then so does the media who is pushing that agenda. It is all being used as a scare tactic to get Kerry into office by scaring people into believing what they say is the truth. Being so close to election this is the only reason why I see them airing this video. Remember, Kerry says this war on terror is a "nusiance" and should be faught on a police level to bring it back to pre 9/11 where it is just like fighting hookers.

Give me a break, that pre 9/11 mentality is what got us into this position in the first place. And if we go back to that we are done. It is not Bush's fault like the video claims. It is not one administration's fault (although I will say Clinton did nothing to stop this). Both republicans and democrats starting back in the early 80's with the Iran hostage situation to present day did nothing to stop all of the attacks on US Embassies, first WTC, etc... What did all of them do, nothing. Bush is the first President to take action against an enemy that has been waging war on us for over 20 years. So by blaming Bush is an outright lie. The terrorist cannot operate like they used to under ahem Clinton and company. The liberals don't see this because they are on the terrorists side. Don't believe me, look at the statement from Kerry that terrorists are just a nusiance. God Bless our country if he gets in because I fear that it will only help the terrorists not us.

That is why I like Bush's "I will win" mentality. He know what reality is and the dangers we face. Kerry, Edwards and the cronies in the media do not however and they have brainwashed millions into believing what ever those two clowns say is true.

This is WHY I do not watch the mainstream media. They are pathetic and don't know what news is since they take false statements and report them as the truth. The recent story I think NBC I heard reported of the missing explosives from Iraq is 19 months old. BUT they reported it as a recent story to further their agenda. FRAUDS, all of them starting with Rather who has been doing this for years.


*OFF Rant* sorry, I just had to get that off my chest since I find this video hard to believe. The terrorists are going to do whatever they are going to do. It is OUR (Government's) job to find them and stop them in their tracks. Try telling that to Kerry and your liberal friends...ahhhhhh I am fired up about this if you couldn't tell :mad:
It's been authenticated WF, by CIA and FBI. ABC hold the cards on whether to air it. I think they're trying to guage the political impact. If it sways the election in Kerry's favor, it'll be shown. If not, then they will wait.

The threat is Real but people don't see what they don't want to see.

Hmmf...yeah they would, even at the cost of American lives. Can't our National Security release it though? Don't they have a copy?

People forget the history of the Islamic world. They proselytize by conquering and saying convert or die. Our Eastern brothers and sisters understand this, the West needs to wake up and understand it.

I don't understand why there is not more open discussion of Islam. Is it politically incorrect? The Holy Father has taken a very interesting initiative: the Church is "facilitating" discussion between Moslems about the place of aggressive Fundamentalism within Islam. Only Moslems will be able to make headway in this area. But the Koran itself remains a profound problem.

I have lived with many Muslims, and many of my best friends are devoutly Muslim.

I will say that they are all "good" people, just like almost everyone else in this country. As level-headed individuals, they do not hold all of the exagerrated beliefs that the extremists hold or that some non-Muslims think they hold. But their genuine beliefs are enough to concern me. Of course they have a warped view of history; they would have to in order to sustain their own faith. They also have a disturbing view of ethics, humanity, and God. Forgiveness is less stressed; vengeance is more tolerated. Violence is more often an acceptable--sometimes the best--option.

I too have many Moslem friends and one who is extrememly close to me. He (a recently retired Nuclear Physicist) is very concerned about the direction in which his country is drifting. He just returned from a two month visit with his family in Iran. He had been wondering whether he might not retire there. He has decided to remain here.

Islam generally promotes a very strong and healthy value-system. But there is that tragic flaw of violence.
