Mrgybe
I do not/have not/will not equate those actions. You are the one extrapolating my posts to make an argument. I don't think we are even in the same discussion. I quit. |

I accept that you do not believe there is equivalency.......but I was not extrapolating......it was exchanges like this that mislead me.

The idea that one can hide behind his religion to do horrible acts against other humans, as has been exercised by many throughout history, is despicable. I think it is fair to point out that this is not limited to Islam. |

It could take pages of this thread to dissect the context of those discussions. I don't see the point. I tried back then, as did other posters, to engage a discussion on the involvement of the Conservatives in the use of religious intolerance to further a political agenda. |

Mr Gybe said
' Where you appear to lack perspective is in equating the actions of Muslim extremists with those of Christian extremists."
I understand why Gybe can not say the words Christian Terrorist.
It is an oxymoron The phrase has no meaning . If you are a terrorist then you are not a Christian or any religion no matter if you cross yourself or yell Allah Akbar.
My Bangladeshi friend is weary of telling people that Bin Laden is no Muslim and represents only murderers like himself.
Gybe came close to understanding the real world when he nearly said
Some people have guns and kill, it has nothing to do with any religion. |
