News: Colin Powell Condemns America's Christian Right!

[Johnv]

I haven't seen ONE, not ONE, Muslim demonstration in America AGAINST what happened on 09/11.

You must not live in my area, because the outpouring of anti-Osama and pro-American Muslims was great, and by the thousands. Maybe it wasn't covered becaise the "liberal media" didn't want to cover it.

The following is an interesting article which was carried in the Washington Post about a year ago.

No big surprise here. Powell and Bush ... are definitely not on Israel's side...

Huh?

I don't support Israel. Bush and Powell definitely do.

(I don't support Islam either.)

and they really do - I have never seen you advocate anything but hate toward Muslims - but that is something that the Lord will hold you to account for.

Well, InHim, I guess you missed this post on the preceeding page:

"And others, instead of facing the truth that Islam is anti-Christ and Muslims need to be saved, continue to defend a religion that is going to ultimately send them to eternal hell, whether they are jihad warriors or moderate Muslims. That's the biggest tragedy of all. "

Which is kinder, telling the truth or defending their religion against the truth?

I have never advocated hated towards Muslims. In fact, I support several ministries to help spread the Gospel to Muslims. But in your personal attacks on me, you are once again trying to focus away from the point of this thread. And not only that, you have set yourself up as a judge against me as if you know my heart.

We will ALL have to give an account for how we conduct ourselves towards others, especially towards our brothers & sisters in Christ.

Nice try, though.

It is our right to dissagree but when many here seem to take a stance which denounces the problems of some christians while defending the false religion from hell which is called islam, it makes one seriously worry about their views.
As the squire would say we have reached page three and this thread will close first thing in the A.M. Feel free to add your final comments but the tone needs to improve.

Norm: I am unaware that Powell and Bush are condemning the religious right, but they surely are distancing themselves from the hateful speech that is asserted by its leaders. Thank goodness. Carter is right when he asserts that as the only remaining superpower, the US might consider its primary role as one of helping facilitate peace throughout the world. Sadly, said role might be embraced more by the government than among some religious leaders and circles. C.S., it does not seem you are operating from your best mode today, but I do agree with you, that is, tone does need to improve. You might re-consider inflammatory language such as, "... the false religion from hell which is called islam ...." Such language does not reach out and encourage peacemaking. So that SheEagle might consider my post to have the smallest amount of credibility, allow me to assert what once was asserted, "blessed are the peacemakers ...."

I am adding my concurrence to Brother Murph's statement. Islam is a false religion. The only reason it is not from Hell is that Satan its author does not yet reside there.

There is only one True and Living God. If Islam is true then Our Lord Jesus Christ is a liar for saying

I am the [exclusive] way, the [exclusive] truth and the [exclusive] light. No man cometh to the Father but by Me.

Brackets added to bring the force of the Greek definite article into English. Further as it is almost midnight Eastern Time I am closing this thread forthwith.
