The guy is comparing the worst of these faiths' believers and projecting it like it's the mainstream of both. Hardly the case.

Once again ham, you're stating MY arguement for me.

It's the extreme far right of the Christians, who believe they are the ONLY true religion.

MOST Christians are loving, respectful, and tolerant of other faiths.

ELVIS and his ilk are no better than the terrorists.

I'm tolerant of other faiths. Doesn't mean I think they are right.

Although, whenever I hear a Christian say that there is more than one true way to God, I cringe, because that is not what the Bible teaches us.

I am respectful and tolerant though.

CHILLING PARALLELS BETWEEN
CHRISTIAN AND MUSLIM FUNDAMENTALISTS

by Nick Gier, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, University of Idaho

There are some chilling parallels between Christian and Islamic fundamentalists. Both divide the world between believers and unbelievers, and by deciding for themselves who is saved and who is damned, they think that they can play God with our lives.

Both have also declared war on the secular culture of liberal democracy, the most peaceful and prosperous means of social organization ever devised by humankind. They both reject the separation of church and state and would set up governments based on their own views of divine laws.

Of greatest concern, however, is the fundamentalist view of the violent end of the world. A common scenario is a great war in the Middle East in which the armies of God destroy the armies of Satan. Radical Muslims of course identify Israel and the US as the forces of evil, but Christian fundamentalists see Islam as the ultimate enemy. The horrifying implication is that the Jews, Muslims, and Christians of the Middle East will be the primary victims of this holocaust.

Before this turns into another flame-fest, does ANYBODY in Elvis' camp care to refute the fact that he believes the same thing the fundamental Islamic extremists believes?

My point in starting this thread, [other than to piss of that holier-than-thou-hypocrite elvis] was to show that EXTREME views from either side do nothing but perpetuate HATE AND FEAR.

And Hate and Fear seem to be what both of these groups have in common.

Whatever happened to "God is Love" ?

Elvis, this thread is a shining example why the Democrats will probably lose the White House once again in 2008. They just don't get it. They most likely never will. We should have pity on those who rode the short bus all those years.

If this is the way this country is going, ie. the tiolet, then I would rather be on the losing side of elections, then sell of my conscience just to be on a "winning" side.

Yes, I get it, the US is filled with millions and millions of delusionally hate filled people who have self imposed some sense of authority over others that don't think as they do. How said it is indeed.

Seeing as how Osama bin Laden is denounced by law-abiding true Muslims, I think it's a ridiculous notion.

And at the same time, the extremist right-wing religious nut jobs here in the US are denounced by the true law-abiding people who have deep religious and spiritual understanding.
