No, that's not what I said.

If its his opinion that liberals are destroying the social fabric of this country; that's okay, then he has to back that statement up. But he doesn't even do that. He directly insults people using rather sophmoric insults and profanity just in spite that one is a liberal, or a Muslim, or a homosexual. He'll call me or someone else personally a commie dumbass pussy, and claim that sole statement is his personal opinion and has a right to spread it around without substantiating it....but its an insult, not a valid political opinion.

Liberals are destroying the social fabric of this country and I have backed it up every day. You just don't like it. The homosexual agenda attacks the family unit which weakens our country. Liberals are more for rights of terrorists and criminals than defeating them and winning the war. Liberals want to redistribute wealth and bring in a socialist government. Those ideas will weaken America. If you don't like what I say, then tough shit. This is America and everyone including you and me have free speech. Get used to it or go to some other forum. I aint going anywhere unless the owner bans me. You aint gonna shut me up. This is a free country.

Maybe you are a commie dumbass pussy. You think I'm an ignorant redneck old man. You dont' like me and I don't like you. Grow up.

Osama Bin Laden isn't any more Muslim than McVeigh was Christian. I bet you don't even know what Jihad really is about. Jihad is any type of religious struggle...that could mean anything from studying your religion, to recruitment, to waging war. And Islam is quite clear, no innocent life, no women or children, are to be harmed in any sort of conflict. This is why many people broke away from Bin Laden's leadership after 9/11, and even helped the US authorities to stay on his trail.

Its the idea that you mix radical Islam with all of Islam. It makes just about the same amount of sense to claim that all Christians want to bomb innocents after the clinic bombings and the McVeigh bombing.

This is what you don't understand about Islam, and what Lucidthots doesn't understand about Judaism.

You backed it up soley with your opinion. But with no substantial statistics.

I never said you can't voice your opinion. I want you to voice your opinion. Its just that you don't know the difference between insult and valid political opinion. Calling me names and insulting me personally isn't a political opinion, and you don't have a right to it.

I want you to voice your opinion, I'm just saying that when you do, you never substantiate it with anything other than rhetoric or more opinion. Yet you claim it as fact.

Quote:
What are Kach and Kahane Chai?

Two marginal Israeli groups that have used terrorism to pursue their goals of expanding Jewish rule across the West Bank and expelling the Palestinians. Both groups grew out of the anti-Arab teachings of Rabbi Meir Kahane, an American-born extremist who founded and led Kach (its name means “thus” in Hebrew) until he was assassinated inNew York in 1990. Israel outlawed Kach and its offshoot Kahane Chai (“Kahane Lives”) in 1994, a month after a Kach supporter shot and killed twenty-nine Muslim worshipers at a West Bankmosque. Experts say Kahanist leaders in Israelhave steered clear of terrorism recently in hopes of getting Israel to lift the ban on the two groups, but Israeli authorities continue to regard Jewish extremists as a potential terrorist threat. The State Department lists Kach and Kahane Chai as foreign terrorist organizations.
What terrorist attacks have been associated with Kach and Kahane Chai?

The deadliest came in February 1994, shortly after the signing of the Oslo peace accords between Israel and the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) when Baruch Goldstein, a Brooklyn-born doctor and Kach supporter, opened fire with a machine gun inside the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron. He killed twenty-nine people and wounded dozens more before he was himself killed. Goldstein chose to attack at a particularly sensitive religious site; the mosque is built atop the Cave of the Patriarchs, where, according to both Jewish and Muslim traditions, the prophet Abraham and his family are buried.

Kahanists have also shot, stabbed, and thrown grenades at Palestinians in Jerusalem and the West Bank. In cases where Kach and Kahane Chai have not themselves claimed responsibility for anti-Arab attacks, Kahane and his followers have declined to condemn such violence and have often glorified it.

The Machteret—a 1980s Jewish underground terror group with links to Kach—staged several attacks, including an unsuccessful May 1980 campaign to kill several Palestinian mayors, before being broken up. Israeli authorities also foiled the Machteret’s plans to blow up Jerusalem’s al-Aqsa Mosque, which is built atop the contested holy site known by Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary and by Jews as the TempleMount. Destroying the mosque, experts say, could provoke a massive Middle Eastern conflict.

Dude, you're not helping the case to ban Lucidthots.

I would like to mention that Liberalism is distinct from socialism, and the fact that I think that Natalie Portman is hot isn't hurting anyone's marriage.

Bullshit. Your moral equivolence doesn't make sense. McVeigh never killed anyone in the name of Jesus. He never mentioned killing anyone in the name of Jesus. You show me where and I'll show you thousands of news reports of muslims murdering civilians all over the planet in the name of Allah.

I can see why you would like me banned. If I was as fucking stupid as you, I'd want me banned also.

Wow! That's pure crap!

Jihad is a Muslim Holy War! What planet are you from?

The only question is whether Muslims take it literally, spiritually or figuratively. Unfortunately, it is OVERWHELMINGLY OBVIOUS that MANY Muslims take Jihad literellty - and they carry it out in nothing less than barbaric bloodshed.

Oh believe me, I'm from Earth...although I can't say much about yourself.

Apparently you didn't do your homework before you mouthed off to me and Islam. "Holy war" was coined by the Christian crusaders. Now that's a round-house kick to the face isn't it?

Armed conflict of Jihad is only a slice of the pie of the entire broad definition. A Jihadist could simply mean someone in an inward spiritual struggle to form a more perfect faith or lifestyle. Jihad soley meaning "holy war" is a common misconception in the western culture. In fact the word itself means "to exert utmost effort, to strive, struggle" in Arabic.

And you say that "many" Muslims take Jihad to soley mean a radical holy war, yet you have nothing to back that up. Its quite clear that the radical groups you see on television only make up a small minority of the entire Muslim community. Unfortunately the extremists have the power and wealth, as do Christian radicals in the United States.

But I'm not denying that holy war is a part of Islam. It surely is. But terrorism is not. In fact, terrorism is diametrically opposed to the true teachings of Islam. Muslims believe in protecting the innocent, women, and children, during war.
