when I was in grade school, possibly before you were born, I remember studying the "Christian Crusades" as I remember back, these "crusades" were in response to aggressive and oppressive actions by the Muslims, so, apparently, this isn't the first time the Muslims have decided to overwhelm, overcome or any other word you want to use. | Either your memory is poor or your teacher was.

I'm sure that Mohammed, Jesus, and Buddha would all be appalled at how people have twisted their principles and used them for their own power or gain.

Those are just two examples
Catholic Church- may I bring up the Inquisitions where killing of the infidel and heretics happened quite a bit
subjugation of the woman, doesn't Paul in one of his many letters in the Bible state that the woman is subject to the husband and not the other way around
I googled "church of christ" apparently there are a lot of churches that think they are the true churches of christ and the others aren't . So I'll just let that one be

Very vague most churches make this claim

I'm a big fan of The Church of Reality  | Islam was born in the harsh deserts of the Middle East, and its prophet, Mohammed, got angry that Jews wouldn't accept him as the final prophet and thus abandon their own teachings. From there the followers of Islam have proliferated by the slash of the sword, and to this day, they know nothing else but might, intimidation, and bloodshed. The peaceful ones are remote from their cultural and regional origins, but at the very base of this religeon is the order to convert and shed blood towards this accomplishment, whatever the cost. This is the holy imperative. There is no accomodation between civilizaton and the militant Koran. They have no shame at slaying babies or beheading adults, because they make no distinction between the grown infidel and the evil-in-the-making. While this seems the height of cowardice in our own culture, they don't take a share in this mind construct.
I have never supported anything resembling a hate-group ideology, but now find myself sickened by the insistent proof that these people are incorrigible and bloody. There will be no peace, except by the knife, and I do hope that our knife is bigger than theirs. |

1. 3000+ dead Americans on 9-11-01
2. countless acts of terrorism world wide
3. Most recently, 156 school children killed (over 300 with adults). CHILDREN. What kind of sick bastard kills children? Who cares if they are Russian, They are still CHILDREN.
So yes, I despise islam, and those who practice it. I want to see the plaque wiped off the map and american soil. Am I talking from the christian point of view? No, I'm talking from the point of view of a human being who knows that the gift of human life is the possession of the person it belongs to, not some brainwashed son-of-a-bitch loaded down with c4. |

Rep Power: 526 | Re: Good morning guys. I have a quick question! Islam means "Submission" not "Peace" as most uneducated or brainwashed people will try to tell you.
What's the difference? you might ask...
The name 'Islam', or 'Submission' was coined when Mohammed and his band of Bloodthirsty followers
would go to a city and lay seige to it, with the ultimatum "Submit to our religion or die" or, words to that effect...
The ones that submitted were known as "muslims".
The word muslim, muslem, or however you wish to spell it translates as "He who submits".
Those who didn't submit were tortured, killed, raped and mutilated, as well as some other heinus ats.
As you can see, Islam was misguided and violent from the start. What makes people think that they are any different today?
No amout of covering up, and polishing over the truth by modern day muslims can hide this truth.
Here endeth the lesseon.
((If you think I'm lying or you don't belive me, you're probably one of those brainwashed people I was taling about.)) Go get a history book and read about the birth of Islam. And no, the Quoran doesn't count as a history book... |

If you had bothered to check, you would have known that the bulk of this thread was transferred over to the "Life After Brown" forum, which is probably appropriate. I'm amazed that you didn't catch this, great omniscient one.
If you'd like to discuss "religion", please feel free to debate me on that thread so I can put you in your place.
Sincerely,
MrFedEx

You assume I disbelieve, an error on your part. And anyone who "blesses" you without asking and signs-off with a Biblical verse is "preaching" a belief system. I was called-out already for "hijacking" this thread, so you can do your after the fact piling-on if it gets you off.
Once again, this discussion was moved the very first day it began over to "Life After Brown". By the way "Allah Bless You", and please read your Koran so you can be enlightened. Allah Saves EXPLOSIONS 6:33
