Once upon a time, one Crusader asked another, "How do you tell a Christian from a Muslim?" as they entered Jerusalem. The other answered, "Kill them all and let God sort them out."

So people that criticize Islam should be put to death? Please tell me that you consider yourself to be an extremist Muslim fundamentalist rather than a moderate one.

We have this wonderful thing in Western society Charles called the law. If this guy was found to be making a film that was inciting hatred against Muslims, there are laws to punish him for it. Why should a lone Muslim nut take it upon himself to be the judge, jury and executioner?

Funnily enough, van Gogh was sentenced for anti-semitism in 1991. As was already mentioned in this thread he stirred controversy among Christians, Jews and Muslims. Having not seen his work I don't know if his 'anti-semitic' works were more damning than his others, but I would hope that it wasn't treated more severly because it was viewed as anti-semitic as opposed to being an indictment of any another religion. I don't really approve of anti-semitism being treated more seriously then any other form of hate crime.

I digress. Charles, this guy annoyed people from three different religions, yet only the Muslim guy took the law into his own hands, probably because he shared the same enlightened philosophy as you: that he brought his death upon himself.

You give Muslims a bad name.

If you want to fight back, how come you aren't in Fallujah with the rest of the 'noble' mujaheddin? You're sitting behind your computer, conducting 'cyber warfare' from El Paso in the name of Allah, no doubt.

Seriously though, you're fighting back - against what? Whatever battle you imagine is being waged is simply in your head. I think I've misunderstood you Boff - you're probably just another confused kid desperately looking for a sense of purpose, a cause, in this crazy, mixed up world. Life just isn't right, so you've got to find some other reason besides yourself to explain it away - the evil, oppressive Western civilization. Pathetic.

It's much better for us to have larger mosques with an imam we know for being kosher. Since the Muslim organizations want to integrate the Republic, they'll happily agree having a moderate imam in a large mosque, whereas small ones may be out of their control.


The people who pray at the Mosques pick the imam not the State. They can pick whatever person they want to be imam, as there is no educration required for the job, local muslim enthic group pick imam whom they trust not some local non-muslim worthless govenment who donot believe in God.

To clarify this, since you clearly don't understand:

All sorts of people beat their wives. What Dr. Strangelove was talking about was the overall status of women in Islamic states. The official policy of those countries with regard to women is to treat them in a manner in which we here think is bad. When a man beats his wife in the USA, it's a crime. It's against the law, and he can be prosecuted. That's quite a difference from, say, Saudi Arabia.

So Dr. Strangelove was NOT saying that only Muslims beat their wives. You've got a huge chip on your shoulder. Put it down every once and a while.

Actually, it wasn't Jerusalem. It was a small town in France. And the question was wether or not they were Catholics or Cathars (which is/was yet another Christian sect).

Although... it *may* have been a Crusade indeed.

Here is what I found via Google. I do not vouch for it's accuracy:

quote:

It is attributed to Arnaud-Armaury, the Abbot of Citeaux, and "spiritual advisor" to the Albigensian Crusade.

Pope Innocent III ordered the Albigensian Crusade, to purge southern France of the Cathari heretics. It began in the summer of 1209, with their first target - the town of Beziers. The Catholic faithful in Beziers refused to give up the Catharis among themselves. The crusaders invaded. When Arnaud-Amaury was asked whom to kill he replied "Kill them all. God will know his own." They did. The crusaders slaughtered nearly everyone in town, over 20,000, either burned or clubbed to death. Thus they achieved their goal of killing the estimated 200 heretics who were hiding in the town among the Catholic faithful. The brutal crusade continued on for the next twenty years. Eventually the Catholics devised a new approach for dealing with the remaining Cathari heretics in France. It was called "the Inquisition".


So, a crusade indeed, but not Jerusalem.

When the Crusader enter Jerusalem they kill all Christian includeing Roman Cath., Jew, and Muslim. They burn down all the christian church expect for one in Jerusalem. On they way to the Holy Land they attack Jewish center in Eastern and Western Europe. They might have said the samething.
