Amish vs. Muslim Extremists

[Norton]

I believe that "extremists" is the key word here.

My Muslim friends don't think less of me because I don't pray toward Mecca every day.

Yet there are Muslim EXTREMISTS who commit acts of murder in the name of their faith.

My Christian friends don't think less of me because I don't accept Jesus Christ as my personal savior.

Yet there are Christian EXTREMISTS who kill OB/GYN's for performing abortions, in the name of their faith.

My Jewish friends don't think less of me because I eat pork, either.

My friends from scientology don't hate me because I don't believe in some alien sci-fi crap.



I mean,If I had friends involved with scinetology,they would not

......
And now contrast that with Muslim extremists, who use religion to justify the killing of innocents, ...

Or Christian Radicals, or Hindu Extremists, or.......Just because the media wants us all to believe that all moslems are suicide bombers doesn´t make it true.. it just makes everyone forget the facts more easily, giving that impression

I still agree that we can all learn something from the Amish here, though

People have always been using religion as an excuse to do bad stuff. it just goes through cycles in history of who is doing it!! Now people all think of Islam but not long ago people associated terrorism with the IRA. Years before that Christians were the ones roaming the world committing mass genocide

Being a person who share the same country with some Muslim extremists (majority here are Muslims and a small amount of them are extremists) I don't think it's something related to years. They just like thinking primitively I guess, and they are getting worse everyday

Muslims or Christians or the Amish, it's just about finding inner peace and doing nice things, treating people well etc... Religion is just the way you choose to do these, good things.

What the Amish do about this subject is respectable so we're talking about them, respecting them.There are lots of great things done by people, and they do it not because they are Muslim or Christian or whatever, they do it because they are the person they are. So someone is either good or not. That's all about it in my book

Fred Phelps and his congregation are abominations, both from a religious standpoint and an evolutionary one. If I ever meet the man I´ll slug him so hard his head will fall right off, fucking traitor.

Seriously, he and his entire family / church / whatever should be tried for treason and publicly executed IMO.

so.. anybody going to watch "LOST" tonight?
I can't wait.

Fred Fellatio, er, I mean Phelps, and his "followers" are the crust at the end of satan's dick. Worthless wastes of flesh.

They should all be sodomised with a Rhino's horn.

Hey I just thought of a good video game...

The Phelps are NOT picketing the funeral. They were offered an ultimatum, 1 hour of air time on a national program if they wouldnt picket the funeral, and they took it.

LOL, even with radicals Media Whoring seems to be more important than doing the things you stand for

Not that it bothers me the least little bit, a TV can be turned off

[danastas]

That doesn't sound like an ultimatum to me. Its sounds like Phelps' wet dream.

Get the fuck out of here!! I can turn my TV off if I don't like what's on?!? That's some crazy shit right there!!!!!!

yea, an ultimatum would've been: picket the funeral & find yourself serving a lengthy jail term

Who the fuck is Fred Phelps? And what does he have to do with the connection that is the title of this thread? This is this first thread I have ever seen that was a tangent in itself. As I said before, stupid.
