    Since apparently it's OK to make sweeping generalizations about Muslims, can we make the same generalizations about Middle Eastern people or would that be racist?

    Huh? You're not paying much attention. Heard of Fred Phelps?

    Fred Phelps, you mean that guy who had a very small vocal following who none of us would have ever heard of if the liveral media did not always show his little group on national tv every time he did something stuped. I don't see how that applys to this situation. Even phelps never burned up two embassies over a cartoon! Apples and Oranges.

    agree w/bunyon...

    Phelps has sired much of his following...it's just about the only way he can have one.

    We don't see maniacs by the hundreds or thousands causing mayhem carrying the Christian banner.

    Gina speaks my mind. While there is no shortage of Muslims that simply live their religious lives privately and without incident, the unfortunate fact is that there is an abundance of Muslims who claim "Islam is a religion of peace" while at the same time holding up signs that say "behead those who insult Islam". Not only does this negate their claim of peacefulness, but it makes it more difficult for those many Muslims who truly do live a quite and peaceful existence.

    While the rest of us have no excuse for painting with a broad brush, those many extremist Muslims who drcry peace but call for violence are likewise without excuse.

    I thank God that the Muslim friends and associates I've known are all people of character and good morals. It is my hope and prayer that all Muslims will someday come to know the Savior as I have, and in the mean time, come to accept a life of high character and good morals that my Muslim friends and associates have.

    On one of the programs I saw the other day, the muslim women who kill themselves get to be one of the 72 virgins in the afterlife.

    Sad that people can be so deceived. [​IMG]

    I hope the muslim couple mentioned end up going to church and one day come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. I will be praying that their eyes will be opened to the truth of the Gospel.

    I have two daughters who are virgins, praise God. They're handful enough. What would a person want with 70 of them?? I'd like to be the guy who sells them their cell phone plan.

    I was responding to that &lt;edited-LE&gt; comment that you don't ever see Christians celebrating the misfortunes of others.

    Joseph and Aslanspal if you truly want change you will have to rewrite the Koran and transform the core fundamental belief system of the Muslim world. Good luck, although I don’t believe in luck.
