Which is equally wrong.

No one should have a negative perception of any group, just because a small percentage of that group are completely nuts.

What is needed is a condemnation of extremism across all religious sects, and separating those people from the religious group as a whole in the context of this condemnation instead of exaggerating those associations (like Colpy does).

In other words, if you see a jihadist, the first thing that should come to mind is not that they are of islamic origin, but rather that they have extremist tendencies. The same should be said of, let's just say - the KKK. No one should look at the origins of christianity for any resolve to their extremism - it's the violence and racism which are to be condemned.

In this way, we separate the true evil (violence and conflict) from the religious associations that extremists peddle as a justification for their actions.

That is exactly what you do to those religious, political or ideological issues with which you disagree. It appears that the more extreme the action, the more latitude that you offer to that group.

I guess Christianity isn't a religion of peace either





















Of course, I'm just having fun with Colpy. Seems to me he considers himself a christian but we all know that couldn't possibly be true. I mean c'mon...get real. Like Jesus would ever own a gun and support the Conservative or the Republican parties.



Colpy is probably a card carrying member of the Joseph Goebbels fan club (Christians like Goebbels have shown Colpy the peaceful way of Christians)

here's where your argument falls apart:

Are the idiots of the Westboro Church (all 35 of them!) following the principles of the New Testament????

NO!

Are the millions of Muslim hopeful Jew murderers, the jihadists, the Islamic meglomaniacs following the principles laid out in the Koran and the hadith????

YES!

And I don't support the Republicans.....I'm a Canadian! And at the moment, were I an American, I would be decidedly independent. :)

And Ann Coulter was speaking the day after 9-11......she was upset. And she was, to some extent, quite correct.

BTW, I don't think the US troops depicted go into battle screaming "Jesus Loves Me" LOL

Try again.

That has more to do with location, politics and history rather than religion. The Middle East is has been under the grip of dictators and tyrants for most of the last century (thanks in large part to colonialism and the cold war). The shift to the modern world is causing tremendous stresses throughout the ME. Religion is a tool, a means to an end. Sure there are segments within Islam that are authoritarian. There are segments within Christianity that are authoritarian. The difference is that the west has benefited from a democratic system that has given us a better opportunity to fight extremist. The ME, thanks in large part to the west (remenber Mohammed Mossaddegh) hasn't had that benefit. Where would the ME be today had Iran been democratic for the last 60 years?


Thanks to colonialism and the Cold War????? LOL!!! Turkish colonialism you mean?????

Love how it is always the fault of the west. Too funny.

The democratic systems you speak of sprank from the philosophy of John Locke.......who believed that if men were equal in the eyes of God, they must have rights on earth to....in other words, modern democracy sprang from Judeao-Christian belief.

Islam means submission, no respect for anything but the fascist philosophy of the war mongerer, rapist, and pedophile Mohammed.

Colpy, did you get your replica AK47BBGun/Muslim killer yet? They're being seized/recalled, so if you didn't get yours, it's probably too late.

You could paint a cross on the side, if it helps.

Naw, couldn't afford one... :). Besides I kinda like REAL guns, not the delusional apparitions that appear to the drooling morons and fascists in the RCMP firearms section..

Just bought a "Canadian"version of the S&W 686, 4.2 inch barreled .357 Magnum. Fricken nice!

It'll serve. :)

Can we stop pretending you've read and understand a thing in the Koran? We all know your main source of information from the book are misconstrued and taken-out-of-context bit of sentences you've acquired from Islamist hate sites.
You're probably just trolling anyways, much of this rhetoric you spew seems too inane and ridiculous for it to be taken seriously.

Can you stop pretending you are intellectually capable of debate?

We all know your main sources of information are non-existent, which is why you refuse to become engaged.

You are undoubtedly trolling, and I ceased to take you seriously after reading your first post.

YES!

I didn't know we had millions of Muslim hopeful jew murderers in Canada. That would be at least 10 - 20% of our population looking for some serious blood.

What enlightening research did you tap into to find such an incredible statistic?

Ahhh....I think the inclusion of the Westboro Church in the discussion expanded the scope beyond Canadian borders.......

Or am I restricted to discussing Canada while the apologists can speak of Norway, the USA, and Rome????

The man made his point - approx 1/4 of the world is Muslim - add it up.

He made nothing unless everyone of those muslims took the "I hate jews" poll.

I don't see any data to back up the "millions" planning to murder jews or publicly declared jihadists.

Ahhh....I guess the rays of enlightenment I cast through the fog of your ignorance are wasted..........the fog is so thick the light of truth merely served to stun you, leaving numbed that organ you so loosely call a mind........

I imagine you found grade three math "mind-numbing".
