Welcome to the new forum
the bible has plenty of passages about slavery, stoning adulterers, klling your enemies, etc.there are lots of burka-wearers in Saudi Arabia or taliban-controlled Afghanistan; but there are a billion more that don't in Turkey, Malaysia, Indonesia, Bangladesh... not to count the ~3 million muslims in the U.S. listen, i'm no fan or radical islam and if they tell me that my wife and daughter need to start wearing a tent, i'm taking up arms. but until that happens, it's stupid and bigoted to paint all members of a religion based on a small militant minority.check out that CNN video i linked above. you're coming across like the CNN hosts (but maybe you don't see what's wrong with what they're saying...)

Quote from: James Ford on October 02, 2014, 03:02:35 pmSurely, there are many Muslims that are saying much more hateful things toward Americans than anything I said. sure, and we're jump on them for posting it here, too.

People are free to wear what they want..
People are free to wear what they want.. that doesn't make them "radical" anything in it of itself... people are free to believe what they want and practice their religion as they want as long as it doesn't violate laws (i.e., some Mormons)

I agree with James Ford. There is no place in America for someone who thinks differently than I do.

Yet you (Hutch, not Julian) are the one calling for me to be banned from the board ostensibly because I think different than you.

But wanting to destroy people because they are not Muslim is acceptable?Quote from: hutch on October 02, 2014, 06:15:24 pmQuote from: James Ford on October 02, 2014, 05:40:54 pmYet you (Hutch, not Julian) are the one calling for me to be banned from the board ostensibly because I think different than you.
