So you have been brainwashed by your cult leader Rush Limbaugh? Quite honestly, this man puts himself at the level of God, and somehow doesn''t know that he can ever be wrong. Sounds like a whack job to me. Political correctness? Sheeesh!

Religions are made up of zealots, and nuts. The politicians that cater to religion certainly can make one nuts.

Check out those in Germany who were imprisoned just because they wanted to verify the facts of the Holocaust. Obviously...politicians in Germany and Afghanistan are willing to steal rights and lives to appease the religions.

It is pathetic.

Wonder if Obama agrees with this. He is Muslim, right?

The Quran mentions the word "mercy" 192 times as compared to the word "revenge" which is only mentioned 17 times.
The fact that Cat Stevens became a Muslim should tell you something about how this religion is not all that bad.
It''s, after all, a matter of interpretation and culture just like you have with Christianity. Rwanda, a Christian country, butchered 800,000 people in three months.
Are we to blame Christianity for that?
In any event, this journalist needs to be let go and all the world should make all the noise about him so this man can gain his freedom.
With the US going into Iran in the 50''s and Iraq in 2003, Russia invading Afghanistan and then Chechnya, Israel doing its thing in the neighborhood, I''m afraid we put much of the Islamic world into a defensive mode and now they try to assert themselves with s.tupid s.hit like trying to put a man to death for "insulting" Islam.
We don''t need a military approach to the Islamic world, we need police work to capture terror suspect and a lot of diplomacy to solve all other issues.

Those people are just nuts over there. To kill someone for asking a question is just about the stupidest thing I have ever heard. They really need to move out of the dark ages. I would think all of the sane Muslims of the world would be outraged and condemn this sort of behavior.

"in Galileo''''s time, there was no separation of church and state; the religious authorities ran the universities and could censor publications"
Thomas Jefferson and the rest of the constitution''s framers knew this and tried to save us from it. Are you listening to what they tried to tell us? Or are you ready to elect a "National preacher" for president?

I do not believe one single American soldier should die in defense of this government nor should a single dollar be spent on them. They execute this man , we should leave before his body hits the ground.

So this is what our troops are there for?
Time to tell the government about freedom of the press, equal rights for men and women, freedom to practice any religous believe, and freedom of speech.
If they don''t want to have a free country then why are we there?
Time to do whatever we have to do to wrap up and then bring our people home.

ilikecats1,
Galileo was punished by certain important members of the Catholic Church. Remember that in Europe in Galileo''s time, there was no separation of church and state; the religious authorities ran the universities and could censor publications, and worked hand-in-hand with the governments of the various countries. Galileo lived in Italy, which was Catholic, and got into trouble with some people close to the Pope.

SickRick U are a Liar and fairytale believer. Church and Christianity has deceived the world by denying all the new discoveries that could have saved millions of Human lives on Earth. It''s all documented throughout history.

Who is Mr. Devil by the way?
Posted by patriotic9

-He goes by the name of Lucifer. The Bible calls him the Father of Lies, the Prince of the Power of the air, the great deceiver, the evil one, just to name a few.

And the great deceiver has deceived millions of people with the religion of Islam since Muhammed first came up with the religion 600 years after Christ.
