Yes, well aware of the inquisition era, etc .....a bunch of crazies for sure.
However, this is 2012 not the dark ages........plus the past several decades of abuse which never should have happened.........
We would hope people would be more enlightened not to torture others in the name of religion.
I just find it a little contradictory on things that they do to innocent folks.
Whatever type of paradise they are planning on going to.....God help us all.
Again, without going into details (those of you who know already know), the things they did to the ambassador would prevent him from going to paradise.....same as what they did to Gadaffi.
I hesitate to even call it a religion. They are fanatics of an evil breed.
Also, why should they be so "sensitive". WE are the ones who should be sensitive based on the horrors committed by them.
We've concluded that none of them have day jobs or night jobs or family functions to attend.......so they take to the streets rioting over small things made huge by those who incite them to do so........
It may seem isolationist, but better to close down all the embassies and consulates, bring our people home and make our borders and country safe.......stop giving out student visas and keep the financial aid in this country for our citizens..........we all could use new roads, bridges, schools and whatnot.........plus a ton of other things that all those billions could buy.........right here at home.
p.s. re another post........
To stop eating meat as one poster suggested, would not stop their violence..........
By the way, I had a Koran (bought thirty years ago when I was researching world religions) and nowhere in it did I find any "commandments' to do the things they do........so of course there are plenty of good ones following that faith.........however, my husband notices all the time that they never ever protest the ill deeds of the "few" as some are saying....."it's only a few". Those riots look pretty destructive to me, no matter how few.
I worry about all our young adults overseas traveling who are so trusting of everyone. They are the ones who go hiking where they should not.
