Comments on: Report: Bias Against U.S. Muslims On Rise

While Hate Crimes Are Down Since 9/11 Spike, Prejudice Still A Major Issue, Group Says

Displeased,

It''s like I said, if they keep the people ignorant then the monarchy stays intact. The more ignorant the people are the easier it is to control them. This is why in Saudi Arabia they had a cartoon show for children that looked like Mickey Mouse who was teaching kids to hate America. American critics saw this and asked the Saudis "***?". They took it of the air, but not without their Mickey Mouse being killed off by American Imperialism. It''s really sad that we as an american people are trying to make an effort to settle our differences and find some common ground, but then ou have this going on in the background. I''m telling you, if we get off foreign oil completely, then these Mid East goverments will run out of excuses to give to their people. Then what you''ll have is the French Revolution happen in the Middle East, which is long overdue. The key is to let the people figure it out for themselves, not bomb it into them.

mccarthy51, take my statement in the context of a rebuttle. I realize there are liberal christians, I''m referring to the leftwing athiest extremists that vilify christians at these posts.

[displeased]

That is a valid point, but what is not pointed out is that the level of poverty and uneducated is severely unbalanced when you compare the populations of the US and of the Mid East.

Education is a problem. It seems they''re anti-knowledge and anti-education because the results don''t meet their religious agenda.

Questionnews,

That is a valid point, but what is not pointed out is that the level of poverty and uneducated is severely unbalanced when you compare the populations of the US and of the Mid East. They are off the charts compared to us...that''s a clear indication of why this is so.

[displeased]

Most likely because they not allowed in those countries.

Hmmm, interesting point...

One of the strongest reasons for extremist is a dangerous formula is poverty matched with little education. Most extremists don''t even believe in the cause they are killing for. Their motivation is that their martydom promises money for their family. The monarchy of Saudi Arabia creates this mess, but their people don''t blame them because the king and princes play the devil''s advocate by condeming it. Meanwhile, they donate money to terrorist groups until they were found out, then they claimed ignorance. These oil sheiks run around driving solid gold cars while the people starve to death, and they deflect the blame toward "the evils of the US". The people believe it because they are ignorant. Keeping the people ignorant keeps the monarchy intact.

[displeased]

But I have seen these Muslims murder people because their religious jihad tells them to murder all the infidels...which is exactly what they''''re doing.

Are you sure that''s why they''re doing it? I thought it was for political reasons, such as our support of Israel and our presence in Saudia Arabia. How come we don''t see terrorists attacking Russia or China or Mexico, etc.

[questionnews]

Both of you are SERIOUSLY ignorant. I''''m surprised the both of you can walk and breathe at the same time. Us christians have radical violent groups too, as so do jews and other religions. All in the argument that "my god has a bigger d.i.c.k. than your god" nonsense. Maybe the two of you should move to your own island where everyone looks alike and nothing ever changes, so you can feel safe and secure.

Respectfully, in the last 1/2 century there is no comparison in the level of attacks & deaths caused by the devotees of Islam in the name of Islam. Some try to point out the wackos that murder abortion doctors & a smattering of other isolated incidences by those that claimed their religious beliefs justified their actions, but to try to compare the sheer volume & scale of the attacks & deaths caused by Muslims that claim their religious beliefs justified their actions. To say they''re on par is outright dishonest. Make list of atrocities committed by radical Islamists in the last 50 years or so & compare it to any other radical religious group. Actually, don''t do that because there is no comparison.

How about we refuse any more building permits for mosques, until Saudi Arabia allows christian churches to be built there. Fair is fair, it seems. And ask the muslims to fix the bit about "anyone who leaves the muslim faith should be punished by death".

Posted by farmerbb at 04:48 PM : Dec 05, 2008

That is hardly an argument. This is America, we pride ourselves on being diverse. Unless you want to be like Saudi.

[Mccarthyaw]

Displeased, are liberals respectful of a christians beliefs? Thought not!

Many liberals are Christians, what is up with this nonsense that you have to be a social conservative to be a Christian.
