If I had a gun I would have to lock my door so the kids couldn’t get to it. Then I would have to carry keys… Your pockets wear out faster when you have keys.. it just gets expensive.
My father in Law has a great collection though. He must have about 1000 guns of all shapes and sizes. All licensed and registered of course.
But he has a bigger house and has to lock his doors.

Yeah, socialized health care is the greatest. Imagine Being able to get medical attention when your ill? And without going bankrupt to do it. The only problem is when the line for prescription drugs get long because all the Americans coming north for cheaper drugs. Drug company’s make huge money off you guys.

I have a hard time believing that any religions text are accurate to the original documents, nor are the stories best thought of as factual events.
When people pick and choose literal quotes from these documents without taking into consideration the overall spirit of the document trouble is bound to happen. And these people are not limited to any one race, religion or country. Stupidity knows no borders.
Attacking any group as a whole because of the actions of a select few is detrimental to any sort resolution.
-
For example using 911 to paint all muslims or members of Islam or Middle East country’s as evil just allowed the Coalition of the Willing to go off on a tangent and attack a country that had nothing to do with the attack. This tangent allowed the Taliban to rebuild and extended the war in Afghanstan to almost a decade and counting.

PackSmack – I must admit, I lack anything more than basic knowledge of Islamic texts but like most religions in the world, sacred texts can often be interpreted in many different ways.
I have no objections to the claim that “Islamic Supremacism” exists, and I have no doubt that in some way we have all felt its presence, but the extent to which it is practised domestically is something we can only guess whilst being on the outside of the religion.
In answer to your question, if I were to experience it domestically I would have no qualms in questioning it.

In a slightly cheesy conclusion (its nearly 1am here), it must be said that every religion has its extremists, but if we can learn to co-exist then we come a lot closer to peace. I do not try to argue that it doesn’t require co-operation on all sides, so do not think I argue purely in defence of Islam.

Peace out people.

Adam, since Islam is not a race, but a religion, it wouldn’t necessarily apply to your sentence; but I understand what you mean.

Interestingly, it is not me who feels superior to others, neither does any of the teachings I believe in say so, but the ’sacred texts’ of Islam teach that Muslims are indeed superior to all other people: “[you]have been made superior to all the peoples…” (Abu Dawud Book 2, Number 0421:). It also teaches unending, universal conquest until the whole world be [Muslim]. (various verses…)

So if such attitudes, as you say, ‘must be understandably avoided,’ and yet this is what makes up some of the fundamentals of Islam what are you doing to confront such ‘racial hatred’ [Islamic Supremacism] on the part of Muslims? Just wondering.

And thanks for the kudos. Obama’s own grandmother says he was born in Kenya!!!

PackSmack – when you take a quote from what I said, remember what it meant in context. Just because militant groups have come from and ruled Afghanistan does in no way mean that all Afghans should be tarnished with the same brush (as you said yourself, they “ENFORCED Islamic Sharia Law on the entire population”)

I am not “their pawn” as you so put it. If I was to hear a group of Muslims acting discriminatingly against all Americans because of acts they perceive to be wrong by our forces in the middle east, I would also tell them to watch what they say.

I understand your point about all of mankind being flawed and prone to sin, but when I said to “watch what you say” I was merely making the point that these kind of comments can oft be misinterpreted as racial hatred. That is something that must be understandably avoided.

On a separate note, whilst I may disagree with your political ideology, I found your blog about the nationality of Obama very interesting indeed. Kudos.

Rainman,

Oh, you’re from Canada? Isn’t that where they have [the crappy] socialized health care? And what happened to all your guns, anyway?

Wow,
Was I ever paying attention to the wrong thread. The back up QB debate has nothing on this.

What was the name of that Political Blog? I gotta read that thing. Sounds like Good Laughs. In a train wreck sort of way.

Tell me do you also discuss you thoughts on evolution on this site? (please say Yes)

Not that we don’t have these guys in Canada, but they don’t seem to get the attention like you give them in the US. I guess it helps when they have their own News Channel.

Adam, you said, ‘And no, Afghanistan did not have anything to do with 911.”

Ever hear of the Taliban (you know, the ruling government of the country who enforced Islamic Sharia Law on the entire population?)

Or Al-qeada, who trained there?

No wonder you don’t want to engage any further.

Adam in England, read everything I said; not only are all Muslims tarnished, all mankind is tarnished. Muslims are no different than you and I; we’re all prone to sin. But their doctrine is a wicked lie.

And why should I ‘watch what’ I say? Are you afraid of offending a Muslim?

Well, I am offended by Nick Berg’s severed head and 911…do you also tell Muslims to watch what they say?

If not, you are already their pawn.

PackerAaron, I hardly ‘dodged’ anything; you tried to blame Christians and a Christian President for the invasion of Iraq, perhaps to make a point that Christianity is worthless, I don’t know, and I simply pointed out that it is logical that a military engaged in a war will re-engage when the cease-fire agreements are broken by the enemy. It had nothing to do with Christianity, a ‘Christian nation’ or a ‘Christian President.’

p.s anyway, I’m not going to get into this, was just asking you to watch what you say.

I’m going to go and do something with my life now : )

AdamInEngland — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 20:54:22 +0000

PackSmack – “No I will not admit that there are followers of Islam who are not evil”
By logic you are therefore stating all Muslims are evil, no?
The term race can apply to any grouping of people by a common interest such as ethnicity or religion.

Finally, what in the world ever happened to PackSmack? This guy used to come over here an insult me. He took major exception to my politics.

What politics? Hopefully you aren’t defending lobbysists spending $1.6 million everyday to prevent healthcare reform.

I can’t get insurance because they cancelled me when I actually saw a doctor leaving me with $12,000 bill.

We have to get rid of lobbyists!

OMG.
-
I “brought up the invasion of a Muslim country in the context of the religious conversation we were having and you dodged your Christian responsibilities (as Christians often do) by throwing out some lame ass excuse about the breaking of treaties. Yes, treaties are important – they also have nothing to do with religion, which was the topic.
-
You’re right that Jesus was not a political figure – curious then that so many political figures use him as cover…

Adam,

Where did I call “an entire race of a particular faith evil”?

I called Islam evil. I also called all mankind tarnished, or prone to wickedness.

And Islam is not a race.
