With respect, America also had a show about Blacks in the 50''s 60''s called Amos n'' Andy the same time Rosa Parks was jailed for ''failure to make a move''.

All radical elements have their "tokens" so they can say "See there, we aren''t so bad"

More CHRISTIAN violence and mass slaughter of the innocent;

In his reports about the conquest of Jerusalem, Chronicler Raymond of Aguilers wrote that "It was a just and marvelous judgment of God, that this place [the temple of Solomon] should be filled with the blood of the unbelievers." St. Bernard announced before the Second Crusade that "The Christian glories in the death of a pagan, because thereby Christ himself is glorified."

In 1208, Pope Innocent III raised an army of over 20,000 knights and peasants eager to kill and pillage their way through France. When the city of Beziers fell to the besieging armies of Christendom, soldiers asked papal legate Arnald Amalric how to tell the faithful apart from the infidels. He uttered his famous words:

"Kill them all. God will know His own." Such depths of contempt and hatred are truly frightening, but they are only possible in the context of a religious doctrine of eternal punishment for unbelievers and eternal reward for believers.

"You actually think these maniacs have a right to murder innocence around the globe every day in the name of their religion.

Posted by stinkingprick"

LOL, YOU should talk you right wing CHRISTIAN! your religion was doing the same dam things the Muslims are, you need another refresher on the violent CHRISTIAN history and the bloodshed YOUR religion was founded on?
Want to start with the entire towns the CHRISTIANS slaughtered in the name of THEIR god?

America in the 20th century has suffered from many violent incidents which can be traced back to Christianity. Some have been organized, others not so organized, but all the result of specifically violent or dangerous doctrines promoted in Christian churches.

Christianity & Homos.exuality
Christianity & Abortion
Christianity & Wiccans

When Muslim cities were captured by Christian crusaders, it was standard operating procedure for all inhabitants - no matter what their age - to be summarily killed. It is not an exaggeration to say that the streets ran red with blood as Christians reveled in church-sanctioned horrors. Jews who took refuge in their synagogues would be burned alive, not unlike the treatment they received in Europe.

colonieNY,,,, The war made possible for us the solution of a whole series of problems that could never have been solved in normal times.
--- Joseph Goebbles

All propaganda must be so popular and on such an intellectual level, that even the most stupid of those toward whom it is directed will understand it... Through clever and constant application of propaganda, people can be made to see paradise as hell, and also the other way around, to consider the most wretched sort of life as paradise.
--- Adolf Hitler

The more we do to you, the less you seem to believe we are doing it
