  • 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.

The world still goes on even among the horrors, we have challenges to bear, doesn't mean you insensitive or anything X


I know. I just wanted to make sure I am being conscientious.

And thank you, Fire Girl.

If we enter World War 3 it will probably only last a few hours and life on this earth might be over.
Perhaps not, the military complex, banks and nations and companies stand to make fortunes off prolonged heavy warfare. We all have too many weopns and missiles gathering dust, we need some new conflict. I'm being facetious, i don't want that, but again, it's all just a little history repeating

I don't think we're on the brink of another world war, terrorist groups have no allies and don't even like each other.
That's right. but like I said in a previous post, the big money War machine and Banks and on down the line, wants long term conflict on a large scale, IMO

Whatever "conspiracy" there is, if there is one, actually isn't working. The world is becoming a more peaceful place despite what the media tells us.

This conversation is making me laugh now because I'm watching Big Bang reruns, and Sheldon just came up with his proposal to solve the Middle East problem by creating a Jerusalem in Mexico.

I think Islam needs to split - there are too many ideologies now falling under the one name - why should a person who seeks to do good have to apologise on behalf of a murderer/terrorist who in reality believes the opposite?

That would probably be a good idea. I've heard a lot of good things about Sufism, but then again it's the theocratic side of the religion that kinda messes it up in my books as a whole.

It is primarily Salafism & Wahhabism idealogy which these Sunni terrorists adhere to.

There are many other more peaceful groups within Islam - i.e. Sufi's, Druze, Ahmadiyya, various Shia groups - these very groups are targeted by terrorists as well. Many people probably do not realise this, but they suffer at the same hands as well.

But as I've found, most people in the West are not very well educated about Islam, let alone the various sects within - so a Muslim regardless of sect difference is just another 'Muslim'

It's like looking at Christianity - a Catholic is different from a Protestant, both are different from Mormons, yet they essentially believe the same tenants/scriptures.

Catholics were responsible for the Crusades, the Inquisition, destroying many native groups - if you were a Protestant during the time these events were taking place, you would not want to be mistaken for a Catholic I'm sure.

So, I was searching google images looking for an animated gif of The Doctor, and all it gave me was a bunch of pictures of some doctor who jabronis. Any civilized person knows there is only one true The Doctor, and he doesn't hang around in a phone booth.

I don't know do you follow the CaWR board, but CF just other day created a new board for debate with Islam, JW and LDS, you might want to take a look and maybe post there:

http://www.christianforums.com/forums/lds-jw-and-islam-debate.1235/

And well, calling the attackers "Muslims" is not incorrect, because that's the name of their religion.

Paris attacks were "act of war" organised by Islamic State, says France's President Hollande, after at least 127 killed.


Still thinking this won't come to something huge..........

Are the good people bored and want a war to entertain them? It will not be their sons and daughters, but the poor they disregard dying. How Christian.

Actually if this is aimed at me, you are wrong, we are watching something that is happening, and evaluating its not going to get better, it's getting worse and it's scary. Britain and America sell arms to these people, the middle east is a mess, Iraq war was illegally and created the vacuum for IS. The superpowers are already bombing Syria, there is fear and death everywhere, that is NOT entertainment at all.

The world is eating in on itself.



THIS!!!!!!

We can only hope. It's bad enough that something like this happened to just 127 people as it is. Actually when I first heard the news last night on Paris the death toll was currently only 40, but kept changing as the night went on. I hope it doesn't rise much higher than this.
