Does Everybody Hate Pres. Obama?

And Christianity has had a totally peaceful history.:roll:

Jenny, Christian bashing is all the craze now because they don't threaten to kill you if you cross them. Even Hollywood refuses to show Islam in a bad light. the latest flick 2012 the director admittedly pulled footage of Mecca being destroyed because they received death threats. All the Christian monuments were fair game.

You're talking about 500 years ago I'm living in the present.

But, that is missing the point that: the (above) is their behavior (of course who knows really how many videos there actually were? or was it a few being played over and over again, or whether those people were actually Muslim believers, but that is a different issue) we are responsible for our behavior.

And, if America is the country we say it is based on the values we say we have, then, there is no place in our lexicon for this kind of behavior.

It is not about them--it is about us!

Those who killed people and who would kill people, need to be stopped and held accountable for their actions, but we can not mistake an entire population for the acts of a (relatively) few...that is a path that has no end except in our own destruction.

Glenda, That's a silly argument. How many videos does it take? Your innocent Mom just got murdered and an entire religious group of folks are shown cheering in support of her murder. So if there are 20 videos it's ok to develop an opinion of them but not if only 19? Why not get to the root of the issue and poll Muslims and ask if the 9/11 attacks made them proud.

Values? We're turning into a nanny state. America is losing it's identity. Our leaders don't represent the people rather themselves. Our values are misrepresented by the current administration. Come Nov the people will set things straight.

Uga you can't lump Muslims in with any of the other groups you listed. You're dealing with a culture that admittedly cannot get along with the Western World because of basic fundamental differences. If you're not Muslim you are not considered an equal worthy of life. This is a difficult concept to get your head around but that's it in a nutshell. They even bring their own set of laws (Sharia).

Apparently all of the Muslims I know did not get this memo.
Please tell me what "fundamental" differences actually exist between Muslims and Americans. Not the ones you THINK exist, but some with actual evidence.
