    What should we think about our fundamentalist evangelical killers and their terrorism? Are those men all cowards and whimps?

    Testament of the Death Squads
    Good Christ, Bad Christ

    ... Well before neocons teamed up with the Religious Right to fight radical Islam in what the former believes is WW IV and the latter prays is Armageddon, they honed their fighting skills against another “political religion:” Liberation Theology, Latin America’s Christian socialism which fought against US-backed military juntas and sought to achieve social justice through a redistribution of wealth....

    ...In the United States, right-wing Christians Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, Tim and Beverly LaHaye, Phyllis Schlafly and Oliver North, along with evangelical capitalists such as Amway founder Richard DeVos, founded the Council for National Policy in 1981, which, as the Religious Right’s steering committee in the 1980s, was deeply involved in Reagan’s Central American exploits....

    ...As part of Iran-Contra’s extensive support network, they deepened their ties with the international Right, with retired military and black ops personal, mercenaries, arms merchants, right-wing public relations experts, ex-agents of the Iranian Shah’s secret policy, international drug traffickers, ...

    ...Over the next ten years, as a direct result of US policy, more than three hundred thousand Central Americans, many of them devout Christians, would be killed and tortured, and over a million driven into exile. In a way, the New Right’s crusade in Central America was a preview and is today on world tour in Boykin’s Abu Ghraib and the killing fields of Iraq and now Lebanon.

      So what do you conclude? Is there a god or not? Don't hide behind some kind of gutless agnosticism. Show us that you have some conviction besides a wish for the destruction of capitalist America and the death of Israely Jews.

          Hyp - So instead of your usual bullscheiss, why don't you amaze everyone & condemn this insane & barbaric act ?????

          Or would YOUR religious leaders issue a fatwah against you for blasphemy ????

          Suadi is one SICK country which has only crawled (slightly) out of the stone age due to black gold..... Take that away, they'd be well fubar'd.....

            And there are other countries moving in their direction.

            Woman beaten on J'lem bus for refusing to move to rear seat

            ... In her first interview since the incident, Shear says that on the bus three weeks ago, she was slapped, kicked, punched and pushed by a group of men who demanded that she sit in the back of the bus with the other women. The bus driver, in response to a media inquiry, denied that violence was used against her, but Shear's account has been substantiated by an unrelated eyewitness on the bus who confirmed that she sustained an unprovoked "severe beating."

            Shear, an American-Israeli woman who currently lives in Canada ....

            ...According to Yehoshua Meyer, the eyewitness to the incident, Shear's account is entirely accurate. "I saw everything," he said. "Someone got on the bus and demanded that she go to the back, but she didn't agree. She was badly beaten and her whole body sustained hits and kicks. She tried to fight back and no one would help her. I tried to help, but someone was stopping me from getting up. My phone's battery was dead, so I couldn't call the police. I yelled for the bus driver to stop. He stopped once, but he didn't do anything. When we finally got to the Kotel [Western Wall], she was beaten badly and I helped her go to the police." ....

              Hyp - As usual, you evade the required response & trawl up some drivel that you think will deflect attention from the point.....

            hypers ignorance about Christianity abounds. She believe that Christianity is like her religion especially like her Hamas friends in Gaza. She believe this wing nut story that has a lot of twisted facts in it and a lot of supposition told as fact.

            hyper try and look at the truth before you post silly rants that just discredit you in the eyes of everyone here. Quit spouting the al taqiyya of hardcore Muslims.

              Nah, I like real christians. Like these Gazan christians. You should consider becoming a christian endo.

              Gaza's Christian Community

              ...Gaza’s oldest church, the Greek Orthodox Saint Porphyrus, dates back to the 16th Century. The majority of Gaza’s Christians are served by the Roman Catholic Church on Al Zayotoun Street and the Gaza Baptist Church which offer living room prayer groups, interfaith outreach, several schools, and humanitarian/medical Christian charities staffed by both locals and internationals. Today Gaza is home to approximately 3,000 Christians, the majority of whom live near these Gaza City churches.

              Until November 1947, when the U. N. General Assembly passed Resolution 181 partitioning Palestine, Palestinian Christians lived peacefully among Muslims and the small Jewish population in the area. With the passage of the non-binding Resolution 181, however, Zionist forces began their ethnic cleansing campaign in earnest. At the time, Christians represented 18% of Palestine’s population, with many families tracing their ancestry back to the time of Christ....

              ... Today, Christians comprise fewer than 2% of Palestinians, with the loss of Jerusalem’s Christian community being the most profound, plunging from a peak of 51% in 1922 to just 4% today. By the time of the Deir Yassin Massacre in early April, 1948, over a quarter-million Palestinians, many of them Christian, had been displaced; either killed or made refugees.

              Like their Muslim neighbors, Christian Palestinians sought to find a safe refuge following the establishment of Israel. Because Gaza came under Egyptian rule in 1948, Palestinians of all faiths fled there. As the Zionist militias advanced, razing entire towns, massacring families, and confiscating all property in their wake,...

                Hiding behind her wall of other peoples opinions, she shuts out the world with the requirement that one must read everything she has read before she consents to an honest conversation. Who could I be talking about?

                Hype, do you believe there is a god? Or not? Or are you just a computer program that searches for keywords and delivers avalanches of quotes and references when encountering same?
