    The Bible doesn't say that, and of course it would if it were true - at least I can't imagine them leaving that our (uh, though they did leave our years 13 - 29 IIRC of his life.)

    Can't disagree with that too much.

    Not really.
    For example Jesus told the snooty priests-
    “You are like whitewashed tombs, which look good on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean"- (Matt 23:27,Luke 11:39-41)
    "The tax collectors and prostitutes will get to heaven ahead of you" (Matt 21:31)

    [​IMG]

    And he went around rescuing naughty girls from mobs-
    "On yer bikes, she's with me! Hold your head up baby!"
    "Thanks JC, shall we go for a pizza?"

    So at what point did you decide not to like him any more?

    Since it applies to governments and not random nut jobs, I am guessing it doesn't say a thing about them.

    They send themselves to hell! I mean, Jesus-rejecters can't be let into that great gated community in the sky or it'd be a case of "Oops there goes the neighbourhood"..:)

    No, they don't send themselves. They choose option C. Option C being 'neither of the above'.

    Why on earth would he want to go there, to learn how to make chapatis?
    Or did he go to study under their monkey god Hanuman on methods of how to swing through trees?..;)

    So what? It'd have made pretty boring reading anyway, for example-
    Jesus made a set of shelves...Jesus made a bookcase...Jesus bought a new power drill.. etc etc

    Again, that's someone I'm not familiar with.

    My sources for news are mainly the three cable news networks (Fox, CNN, and MSNBC). I split my viewing evenly, watching each network roughly 1/3 of my time.

    I also listen to NPR and conservative talk radio host Dennis Prager. I read The Dallas Morning News.

    Any country that takes in enough of them will IMO be creating its own Inquisition eventually.

    Arianna Grande is a former Disney star, her fans are young adolescents, teenagers. Islamic extremists are targeting teens to cause greater outrage. At what point will outrage provoke a reaction that suits the extremists? Would slaughtering a hundred kids do it, would it need to be thousands? Is there no limit? We can't stoop to their level? We can only hope this fanaticism will fade in time?

    We get the same reactions; a few want to ban Muslims and send them away, most denounce this view noting not all Muslims are extremist fundamentalists.

    What is more interesting to me is considering the parameters of an intermediate view. Though it is true not all Muslims are extremists, it should be acknowledged a much higher proportion of them are than is found in other faiths, it is a fact tens of thousands of Muslims are up in arms fanatically fighting for religious reasons, there is nothing similar and contemporary in any other faith. How should the prevalence of religious extremism among Muslims be dealt with?

    In addition to the obvious difficulty in accommodating Islamic extremists in western society, we also have this Sunni-Shia clash among Muslims. This is an important aspect of the problem with these extremists. This clash is a problem in Islam and presumably beyond our 'jurisdiction'. To some extent we should accept the appalling prospect they just need to work things out amongst themselves and let them slaughter each other.

    For Muslims who've established themselves in western society there is a need to moderate their religious views. If it is permissible for society in general (particularly liberals) to criticise Christians opposing abortion, contraception, homosexuality and other perceived immorality, why shouldn't society and liberals in particular engage in an effort to temper Islamic misogyny, homophobia and intolerance?

    Muslims living in the west must realize religion is viewed very differently, if this is unbearable to them they should be urged to leave.

    IMO rejection by the civilized world would be quite sufficient, if we can ever get enough agreement to implement it.

    The US occupation forces scoff the occupied peoples.

    The bastard confirms that Usa is torturing people and there is no punishment for it.

    neither have I. The Qur'an probably has nothing to do with this attack, unless the suicide guy was deranged.
    For thousands of years, or is it only hundreds?, they have lived their lives and left us alone. Now, that we Westerners have violently disturbed them, accused them falsely of 9/11, keep bombing their homes and countries, they have all the right in the world to defend themselves with any means available to them. We, in our grandiose self-assuredness, owning half the world, can't understand why they don't love us!
    IF they would do to us, what we have done to them, we would completely eradicate them. Just take America's torture program as an example. Does anybody seriously think, there would be no consequences, no retaliations??

    On the other hand, it could be a hoax,

    like many other attacks, to make sure our hate for the Muslim world will stay acute and sharp, and our soldiers have stuff to do. Like General Wesley Clark said, seven countries in five years!!!

    Most of us do except it becuase terrorism isn't anything new - There is less terrorism and death by terrorism now than there was in the 1970's.

    The events in Manchester were terrible but, both the UK as a whole and Manchester in particular is used to living with terrorism.

    IMO he went there for the same reason the Beatles and many others did.

    There's a kind of weird liberal conviction that Islamists are open to reason and polite requests to moderate their fanaticism. The kind of outrage we've just seen in Manchester, and the ones involving fast-moving vehicles being driven at us, were and will continue to be perpetrated solely because they have no fear whatsoever of any consequences, unless anyone thinks a few months in the slammer is 'a consequence'. If we don't get our act together and fight fire with fire, they'll win hands down, and in a short time. Unfortunately though, we won't wake up and fight until it's too late. It's why they despise us - they expect similar retaliation and punitive sanctions but they never come, so they'll keep upping the stakes.

    Really? The only reason Muslims didn't take over Vienna and others western lands is BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T, not because they didn't want to. They lacked weapons, soldiers and most of all - the brains - thank God.

    The Islamic "nigas" were oppressing and humiliating Christian countries in Europe for centuries. Spain, Greece, Bulgaria, Serbia, Macedonia, Romania and others. What do we do now, do we feel offended?

    Again, those were political alliances between kingdoms and were done when appropriate, not when the girl was ready to be married. Got any info about when those "7 year olds" got sex for the first time?
    It is true that in the Middle ages people lived short lives and were marrying at an early age. But even in the Middle ages a girl didn't have her period at the age of 9 (the age that the false prophet nailed Aisha).

    Just imagine what things would be like had Christ married a nine year old.
