I saw that as well and decided not to post it - good read though. Todd - I understand the U.S. led invasion of the middle east is terrible - we shouldn't be there. But that can not be classified as a "Christian" war. As fars as the crusades, here's some history for you... No, that is not history, that is called drivel you find on Internet that entertains people, but actually makes them more stupid after watching it. If you want to learn some serious history about the period, and not have to work hard (just 18 hours of lectures), get a copy of this, maybe your library has it. http://www.thegreatcourses.com/courses/era...e-crusades.html |

But can it be denied that Islam was conquering the entire region and pushing north and the Crusaders attempted to fight against that and regain Jerusalem. Or was that just stupid dribble too? I also find it amusing you were able to make your post seconds after I posted the videos. Speed watcher. Just so I understand: - Islam is peaceful - nothing to be concerned about - Killers in the name of Islam are just lone crazed killers with no real affiliation - Christians are biased evil bigots that pose a far greater threat to the Earth - People don't kill people - guns kill people, unless you're a conservative - Trump is nothing but empty racist propaganda that stupid people eat up with glee - Orlando should be blamed on the Christian right and lack of gun control. - Assault weapons should be banned from all law abiding citizens - in order to keep them from the hands of criminals. - There is no reason to take Islamic immigration in Europe and see it as anything other than peaceful assimilation. - We should allow all people into our nation because we should build bridges and not walls.

JSTCRSN: before we get too long winded in our back and forth here, which I fear has already happened, let me just sum up what I"m suggesting overall P.S. The CNN link you shared is about law that is being proposed. Here is a quote from your link If the democratic bill passes, THEN we will get rid of the loopholes.
http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/10/politics/bac...iner/index.html AKRICH: (from crsns cnn link, citing 20% of all sales being private) "The use of the NICS (National Instant Criminal Background Check System) however is not required for private sales of firearms, which make up about 20% of all firearm transactions. A Democrat-backed bill being discussed in Congress closes this loophole (the gunshow loophole), requiring background checks for all gun transactions, even private ones. This would extend background checks to purchases made at gun shows and on the internet." 1.)I'm for not allowing anyone on a NO FLY LIST to buy a weapon until they get off the list, and of course providing a legal way for them to challenge the list. Just seems pragmatic IMHO. 2.)I'm for requiring the exact same procedures that are required in gun shops, to be required at Gun Shows AND in person to person sales. Again, just seems pragmatic to me. I"m aware of all of the arguments against these two ideas. No need to go through them again. Not everyone can agree that these two things are needed. It's my suggestion that these are needed. Thus why I would support this legislation. Simple as that SPOCK: The mass immigration is more a European problem right now. It may spread to our shores as well in time. I sill maintain the only way to make real progress is through integration of folks coming here. We can't stop them IMHO unless we shoot them all at the border. Giving young, angry, war ravaged, men a second chance in life, indeed to have a life worth living, is IMHO our only long term solution. That about covers it for me Thanks for the conversation guys, I"m heading back to guitar land and you guys may have the last word. Practice!

Muslims are 'not like us' and we should just accept they will never integrate, says former racial equalities chief Trevor Phillips Man who coined the term "Islamophobia" admits he was wrong. Muslim communities are not like others in Britain and the country should accept they will never integrate, the former head of the equalities watchdog has claimed. Trevor Phillips, the former chairman of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, said it was disrespectful to assume that Muslim communities would change. He told a meeting at the Policy Exchange think tank in Westminster on Monday that Muslims ‘see the world differently from the rest of us’. According to The Times, he said: ‘Continuously pretending that a group is somehow eventually going to become like the rest of us is perhaps the deepest form of disrespect. ‘Because what you are essentially saying is the fact that they behave in a different way, some of which we may not like, is because they haven’t yet seen the light. It may be that they see the world differently to the rest of us.’ Mr Phillips added that people of certain backgrounds in the UK are not going to change their views ‘simply because we are constantly telling them that basically they should be like us’. The Muslim Council of Britain has insisted that members of the religion are compatible with UK life, and believes that the idea of demanding change from Muslims has promoted discrimination. A spokesman for the organisation told The Times: ‘It assumes that Muslims are not equal, and not civilised enough to be part and parcel of British society, which they most certainly are.’ The Prime Minister has previously made clear that integration failures have allowed extremist ideas to gain traction – resulting in around 700 British Muslims travelling to Syria to join Islamic State. Counter-terror police say about half are thought to have returned and could pose a threat. And last week David Cameron launched a new drive to counter extremism by calling on more Muslim women to learn English in the hope that they will turn into more powerful moderating forces. Mr Phillips, 62, who is known for his outspoken views, hit the headlines last March when he claimed Britain was silencing debate on race issues by ‘intimidating’ those who dare to ask questions. In a devastating critique of a culture of misguided political correctness, he claimed far too many people felt unable to speak their minds because they feared being branded racist. Mr Phillips said people would have to become ‘more ready to offend each other’ as the price of free speech, and attacked the ‘racket’ of multiculturalism which took root under Tony Blair’s government. Muslims, who first arrived in Britain about three centuries ago as sailors working for the East India Company, had a UK population of 2.7million in 2011 - dramatically up from 1.6million in 2001.

More tolerance from "The Religion of Peace". We should just hug them until they love us back...
Radiohead's live from A Moon Shaped Pool event in Istanbul is attacked A group of radical Islamists attacked a listening party in Istanbul where Radiohead was holding a listening party for fans in support of their new album. The men reportedly stormed the record store, Velvet Indieground, in Istanbul, Turkey, and used pipes to violently beat fans running away from the venue for drinking alcohol during the holy month of Ramadan. “Our hearts go out to those attacked tonight at Velvet IndieGround in Istanbul,” Radiohead said in a statement. “We hope that someday we will be able to look back on such acts of violent intolerance as things of the ancient past. For now, we can only offer our fans in Istanbul our love and support.” It’s unknown how many people were injured in the uproar or the severity of their injuries. One of the store’s owners allegedly posted about the encounter on Reddit, saying, “I am the person that’s speaking in that video. I am the owner of that periscope account. They were determined to kill us. We were beaten by more than 20 men with pipes in their hands, beer bottles were broken on our heads. I don’t even know how we made it out. I will share the details later guys, just hoping that no one will die.” The event was part of a global listening party in support of Radiohead’s new album, “A Moon Shaped Pool,” and included specially curated playlists, games, and limited-edition vinyls. Video of the attack can be seen below: Source |
