But that is exactly my point. News in this country has been partial in picking out these relgious people and reporting thier isolated actions. And I say isolated because we are a country of 100’s of millions, 4 news stories about a Muslim doing something derogatory in the name of Islam may be an abberation, not the status quo. I am sure news exist about some hokey pokey going on in the Name of Jesus, but we don’t report it because it is not time to point our fingers at hypocrits in Christianity, its time to sell bigotry about Muslims.

When a Pastor’s financial reveals that he has been scamming his congregation, what do we do? Say that all pastors are that way, and we know that ALL pastors DO NOT scam their congregations. That is why we need to use sense and not implicate a religion based on isolated actions..

Michelle Richards,

Good points, but not relevant. If 50 Baptist(any denomination will do) lead protests at the funerals of service people, we would denounce and condemn them. If 50 or 1 person commits a terrible crime in the name of their faith and no one from the faith speaks out against it, then we have reason to wonder.

We have seen several instances of lone killers attacking innocents in the name of what religion?

We hear about “honor” killings, we have a TV station owner cutting the head off his wife – another honor killing – only to have CAIR defend it as there is no such thing as honor killings.

We have on November 2, ‘09: Noor Almaleki is Dead. Run over by her Muslim father for being too “westernized”, she lingered for days.

Where else do we have this? We must be watchful, not hateful, yes, you are right. But, I ask you, should we also be watchful of the evil Jewish folks? How about the violent Hindus. The extremist Quakers. A bit of a parody to point out where the terror is.

I am still waiting for the AJC to report the condemnations from the clerics in the Atlanta area.

To El Jere:
It surprises me because we say that we are a society that is better than “3rd world thinkers.” We become hypocrits when we do to Muslims what these abberations of Islam do to Americans for just being Americans. To hold all Muslims responsible for this “sick” man is to be a hypocrit and no better than what we fight against. There are devout Muslims who are proud and happy to be in this country, why aren’t we showcasing them. We will live to regret this the way we try to hide the ugly truth of how we held Japanese Americans in camps while we were in war with Japan.

To Commonsense:

What about the KKK that burned crosses in the Name of Jesus, oh Yes it did happen that way…Also would you want Black Christians to view all White Christians as suspect of being KKK?

Are all the bigots on here from ATL? You’re all retarded. So if someone states that they are killing in the name of something, does that mean that entity is automatically to blame? You don’t think those abortion murderers don’t claim to killing in the name of Jesus? Should I hold Jesus or Christianity responsible? I can’t believe how stupid people in this country are.

“I guess he should have said thank you jesus then it would have been okay, what religion was tim mcveigh or the va tech shooter or the white guy who shot the health club up a few months ago. what religion was the kid in south ga who killed his whole family in the trailer prk.

white christians are so ignorant and hypocritical”

I sure I couldn’t possibly be the first one to point this out, but there is a glaring difference.

The Muslims do this IN THE NAME OF THEIR RELIGION! The trailer trash kid’s religion was totally irrelevant to his act. He didn’t give a rat’s a$$ about doing it for Jesus. Why can’t apologists and moral equivalence types see this simple, obvious fact?

To Stone Thrower:

That was wrong then and this is wrong now.

To Michelle Richards:

This guy in addition to being a Muslim might have been a UGA fan but that doesn’t inmplicate Georgia unless he hollered “Go Dawgs” before he started shooting. He did shout “God is Great” in Arabic. Be reasonable here and think this through. Find me someone who yells “In the Name of Jesus” just before they blow themselves and a schoolyard of children to bits and I’ll put them in the same category …………… hatched by Satan himself !

Michelle Richards,

Why does this surprise you? we have been attacked repeatedly since the first World Trade Center Bombing.

The shooter’s family boldly spoke out against what happened. The President spoke against this violence. The military spoke out against this attack.

The “peaceful” religion has not been heard from.

It isn’t hate. It is being aware of what might happen. It is the same stance as if the Police issued a broadcast that armed white males were roaming the streets. Every white male on the street would be suspect.

BTW, I am glad you are defending the Muslims, they need all the support they can get.

This murderer says nothing in particular about any other Muslim, only about himself.
However, if this were a devout Christian, do you think that she would rush to be so charitable?
I didn’t think so.
