    I will not tolerate anyone calling themselves a Christian and encouraging KKK and their hatred. Their evil was equally evil with the Islamacists that would kill Americans.

    An American White or Black is an American.

    Back off of that racial evil - it is not protected speech.

    I did and I do call it murder. Remember that.

    Muslims are not kind and loving when they believe we should all be killed becasue we aren't muslims. Your kind and loving muslims believe those responsable for 9/11 went to heaven. Meaning they did the right thing.

    So what do you do with similar Bible verses. Extremists have used the Bible to burn "witches" and justify all types of horrors. Do you want to be judged by extremists who call themselves Christian?

    For example, here are some sample Bible verses that are just as bad if taken literally as commands for Christians:
    I think it quite unreasonable to say all Muslims people are terrorists, extremists, or to paint them all with the broad brush being used in this thread.

    I saw an interesting lecture on BookTV this morning - Paul Hollander discussing his book, "From the Gulag to the Killing Fields." One of his points was that both the Communists and Nazis condemned people, not for what they did necessarily, but for who they were associated.

    Let's face it, people generally adopt the religion, at least nominally, of their family and community. To condemn every Moslem simply for being Moslem is the beginning of political violence and cruelty within our own country.

    And the Old Testament says to stone the stranger to death who even inadvertantly breaks the Sabbath.

    That's just not true.

    Group-based discrimination and condemnation.

    No, of course not, it's not ok. It's also not ok to blame the actions of a few - and we don't even know if that story is true and complete - on the entire group.

    The ones who did the beating are not being defended; the ones who didn't, but were nonetheless blamed, are being defended and rightly so.

    Your comparisons dont actually make any comparison. I gave you the verses in their context. You did not.

    I didnt say all muslims are terrorists. Provide the quote. What I did say is jihad is taught by Islam and it is in the Koran. So many are not terrorists but they remain frighteningly silent about those who do. Failure to speak against them says alot.

    Good point.

    So do you stone strangers? If not then we do not know of anyone that practices that. We do know people teaching, practicing, and spreading hate in the name of the koran.

    While it is not right to blame the few. It is excellent intelligence to realize that the majority can become enraged against the evil, or the majority can allow the minority freedom to continue their evil as if they have the support of the majority.
