		<description>The peaceful verses Muslims cite as evidence that this was not an act of Islamist terrorism do not give an accurate picture of the Quran&#039;s teachings. In Mecca, Muhammad revealed verses of peace. After he migrated to Medina, his revelations became violent and intolerant. Consider: 

Slay the idolaters wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them. (Sura 9:5) 
Cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them. (Sura 8:12) 
Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward. (Sura 4:74) 
Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) and receive no hurt, and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their goods and their persons. Allah hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than to those who sit (at home). (Sura 4:95) 

If Muslims truly desire peace and tolerance, they must collectively renounce and condemn the violent, intolerant passages of the Quran rather than trying to assure the West that such violence is not part of their doctrine.</description>

		<description>I made exactly two posts on this blog, so I don&#039;t know how you read several of them.  And it&#039;s very telling that liberals hate being called liberals, yet conservatives are proud to be called conservative.

Then you go on to say that my posts, which I didn&#039;t make, by the way, to &quot;be be very telling of so called Christians.  No one else can have an opinion unless it matches word for word what you believe.&quot;  Wow...I don&#039;t think I ever even identified myself as a Christian (although I am one) and I certainly didn&#039;t say no one was allowed to disagree with me.  Once again, like most liberals, 90% of whom have never set one foot inside a church, you presume to know everything about Christians based on your own ignorant bias and hatred towards Christians.

You blast me for supposedly opining that all who practice Islam openly advocate killing infidels, then you go on to to paint all Christians with a single brush.  Again, LMAO.  Truly, you are an intellectual giant.  Have a good evening.</description>

		<description>I REPORT:

Its funny how you assume I am a liberal.  FUI-I am an American. Liberals are titles idiots give to others that think differently than they do.

Just because you do not find the point I made to be valid or good in your opinion doesnt mean someone else thinks the same. For the record I read several of your simple minded posts today on this blog and I found them to be very telling of so called Christians. Your way is the truth and light.  No one else can have an opinion unless it matches word for word for what you believe. 

By the way when you say openly advocate killing, you mean like the Christian pastor that is calling for our President to be ..... well you know. So in your opinion all those that practice Islam openly advocate killing infidels. So general and vague. Sounds like another rethuglican talking point. Dude get a life.</description>

		<description>Good Point...do you know what &quot;irony&quot; is?  It&#039;s a guy who calls himself &quot;Good Point&quot; but doesn&#039;t have one.  Go back, re-read my post, and let me know what part leads you to believe I&#039;m in favor of bashing Muslims.

Here&#039;s my point, and I&#039;ll type v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y so you can follow along; how does a topic about a Muslim (extremeist or otherwise)undertaking an act of violence against &quot;infidels&quot; devolve into a discussion about how intolerant Christians are, when Christians and/or Christianity played ZERO role in the act discussed in the original post?

Boy I love liberals...completely unable to grasp even the most basic concepts, but then they beat their chests and crow about their self-perceived intellectual superiority.  LMAO.

By the way, I&#039;m for freedom of religion as long as none of the religions in question openly advocate killing innocent people.  Does tolerance for Islamic extremism make you open-minded, or merely stupid?  I&#039;ll let you decide.</description>

Muslim bashing is OK right? Great Post to show how self centered some Christians are. You are for freedom of religion here in the USA as long as your a Christian.</description>

		<description>You gotta love liberals.  We have ANOTHER massacre of innocent people, perpetrated by ANOTHER Muslim, and now we get 6 pages of Christianity-bashing on the AJC blog.  Classic.</description>

		<description>Perhaps our esteemed commander in chief should give all the terrorists green jobs so as to boost their self-esteem such that said individuals would no longer attack us.

Joe Biden could be given this responsibility.  And you remember what the man said--&quot;Nobody messes with Joe.&quot;

Additionally, our CiC could consult with known domestic terrorists to craft a solution.  I&#039;m betting Bill Ayers is on our esteemed leader&#039;s speed dial.</description>

		<description>TURD! TURD! TURD! I am repling back to your post in reference to my post Dr Tiller. First and foremost the line put something in your piehole was completely and urterly useless. How does that 5th grade gotcha statement encourage grown up dialogue. 2nd the point I made was valid. How can we say this act from this one person is linked to all Muslims in the world. Based on your weak comeback you are stating all Muslims are to blame. Guess what I say the killing of Dr Tiller means all Christians are murderers of all abortion doctors that have been murderered. Do you get it now? Respond to that with logic and reason and not with vague generalities that do no one any good. Thanks.</description>

		<description>Jimmy Carter:

You replied back to my post about Dr Tiller and referenced this as an individual act.  Was the Ft Hood tradegy not an individual act? From what I read he was the only shorter.  They have not found any other evidence he was being directed by someone else to kill those soliders. I am in no defending this terrible man. I am depending Islam.  But I see you did not defend Christianity.</description>

		<description>Dear Block,

You might try Indonesia as a country where the majority are Muslims and live perfectly comfortably with the people of other faiths.  And the status of women is pretty darn good.</description>
