I suppose the self-proclaimed Christians who murder abortion doctors don’t prove that Christianity is a religion of murder. Because, hey, that’s different.

As someone else pointed up, Anderson... calls to violence are far easier to find in the Koran, than about any other mainline religion in the world today.

Tell that to the family members who lost their loved ones to psychotic Egyptians at LAX or mentally disturbed Pakistanis.

Try explaining to your children about why someone tried to burn down their synagogue.

Better yet, try explaining why here in America to go to synagogue requires going through a metal detector and passing a host of guards.

Yawp!

"...I don’t see a terrorist hiding under every tree." Good for you, dude! Did something just bite me in the ass? Sorry, that was me. I'm...uh...on my way to church. Yes, that's it - church. No problem - you need...

"All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." That's "all," as in Muslims, Jews, Christians, atheists, etc. Those "Christians" eager to point the finger at Muslims, need to be looking at themselves instead.

the point you're missing here, is that when push came to shove he finally went to his roots if you will. Only, the most anger adopting part of his cultural roots that he could find. Radical Islam.

That connection can not be so lightly dismissed. Not if solving the issue is on the agenda.

Understand me clearly; I am not placing the blame for what he did on all followers of Islam. What I am suggesting is that because the more radical version of it is allowed to exist this empty soul latched onto it as the salvation for his trouble.

That said, there is a great deal of validity in the ideas expressed by Fers, that the media seems over eager to separate this young man from that cultural decision, and from the words he spoke prior to pulling the trigger. I wonder; if they would be so forgiving were the targets abortionists and the shooters claiming to be angry Christians.

You only become a racist if you are taught to be one....Haq was taught well. And his father works in a nuclear facility outside of Seattle.

That should help you to sleep better tonight.

I dislike the insanity defense, simply because we enter the area of defining sanity-- which allows enough flexibility for political manipulation. Gibson? Not insane. Haq? Mentally unstable. I like the way Gibson put it-- though he was acting insanely, (or may have been insane at the time) he still has to take responsibility for his actions. That's personal responsibility. Such slanderous and dispicable statements deserve condemnation.

Haq claims to have, as a Muslim American, have been angry at the USA's policy regarding Israel, and as a result, shot and killed people (Jews, even.) Unlike Gibson, who condemned his own actions, Haq appears to have been silent on the evil he committed.

Would be nice to see CAIR speak against this despicable act he committed against his fellow citizens? It won't happen.

I dislike national hyphenizations... I don't say I'm a Christian-American. I'll say I'm an American, and I'll say I'm a Christian, but not a hypenization or juxtaposition which implies with greatest of strength: I'm both a Christian and American-- and I won't say which I really hold my allegience to.

Politically and Nationally, I'm an American. I hold no other allegience.

But my eternal soul belongs to God. Its a tough balance, one that Haq, as a Muslim (or so he claimed) was unable to find.

But knowing the way the ball rolls in the MSM one can almost say with certainty that this will be hailed as evidence that this action had no relation to global, distributed jihad.

But, I don't know everything either way, so it really is just speculation.

Look, the guy said who he was and why he did it. So did the guy who tried to run people over at the college. The Qu'ran supports what these guys did. Frankly, I think you should be even more concerned about this than about the "obvious" terrorists. It presages a general rise in anti-Semitic violence and terror emanating from the U.S.' growing Muslim population. We can acknowlede this and take steps to confront the problem now, or we can wait until it becomes commonplace and expected (much as abuse and lynching of blacks was in the South up until the early 1960's).

But nah, it's easier to just explain it all away.

The Old Testament only seems harsh if you consider it outside of the context of the whole Bible. The New Testament is actually no nicer than the Old Testament. The same Jesus who preached forgiveness, also preached repentence as the only way to be forgiven and said that anyone who rejected his teachings was condemned before his father--aka the God of Israel (or the Old Testament if you prefer). He was also the same "moral teacher" who said that he didn't come to bring peace, but to bring a sword and to set people against one another for the sake of righteousness.

Like it or not, but Jesus didn't actually really change the fundamentals of the Old Testament. All he did was establish a new dynamic to them through grace. People who think he was a great, hippy-style loving new age, "tolerant" guru would do well to read his warning that he is God when he said "before Abraham was, I am" and "if you have seen me, you have seen my Father." I am, is English for Yaw'eh, which is the common Hebrew name for the God of Israel.
