KLAVAN YOU ARE WRONG!!!

RADICAL ISLAM IS NOT THE PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!

Islam is.

Dr.Malt - December 5th, 2009 at 1:54 am

Radical islam and radical christianity are the combined problem!"my god is better than your god" etc.

Why isn't this mandatory watching at every "school" (sorry, my displeasure at gobbled tax money for the "general good" -oops more quotes- demands the quotes) in the country????

JBnID - December 5th, 2009 at 2:03 am

Well, let's see if obliterating the radials of Islam will bring around the rest. No use painting with too broad a brush, yet.
But, I sure wish I heard more of them talking and fighting instead of hiding.

SPConservative - December 5th, 2009 at 2:24 am

Any sites, clubs, malls, hotels been bombed by radical Christians recently?

The other religion has well over 14,000 terror attacks under their belts since 9/11/01. I would hazard a guess that they are by far the more dangerous of the two you mention, and I'm an agnostic.

Kato - December 5th, 2009 at 2:40 am

Ask the Russians about radical muslims in their country.

PKAmmoTroop - December 5th, 2009 at 2:44 am

You need to study a little history Doctor, Islam has always been a hemorrhoid on the underside of humanity.

Fred2 - December 5th, 2009 at 4:59 am

Actually, I have heard individual Muslims publicly denounce Hasan's terrorist attack on Ft. Hood.

Furthermore, Nadra Enzi (a Georgia Republican) has found the group MUST, a pro-US, conservative answer to CAIR. Read more here:

So, there is push back against the Muslim terrorist apologists.

Mo_ - December 5th, 2009 at 7:18 am

Here we go again. The minute anyone starts talking about Islam, some ignorant fool has to bring up Christianity. I will say it again like I've said it a million times:

There are no Christians committing violence on a regular basis due to the teachings of their religion. Why? BECAUSE THEIR RELIGION DOES NOT TEACH THEM TO DO THAT.

There are,however, Muslims committing violence on a regular basis due to the teachings of their religion, because their religion DOES teach them to do that.

I can prove my statement. Can you prove yours?

I am so sick and tired of hearing this nonsense. Because that's what it is, NONSENSE.

hollywoodron - December 5th, 2009 at 1:12 am

Growltiger - December 5th, 2009 at 2:02 pm

How many people have radical Christians killed in the last ten years?

Growltiger - December 5th, 2009 at 2:05 pm

Math test. Find the common denominator.

Muslims are killing Buddhists in Thailand
Muslims are fighting Hindus in Kashmir
Muslims are bombing hotels in Mumbai
Muslims are fighting Jews in Israel
Sunni Muslims are fighting Sh'ite Muslims in Iraq
Muslims are killing Christians in Nigeria
Muslims are killing Christians in Dafur
Muslims are killing Anamists in East Africa
Muslims killed 3K secularists on 9-11

Mo_ - December 5th, 2009 at 7:20 am

As always, great video, Andrew.

I only wish this could be put on those jumbotron screens they use at sporting and concert events. This message needs to get out to the masses!

dallasgirl - December 5th, 2009 at 5:00 pm

Radical christians bomb and kill abortion sites and doctors. For centuries christians burned and killed those who did not believe as they did. Christians burned so called withces not too long ago in the past. Christians think they are doing good when they go to other countries to convert everybody to believe like they do and persecute those who do not. Then they go into islam countries and try to take them over because they need oil.
Islam was found from Judaism and christianity. That whole line of religions likes to kill each other. In case you hadnt noticed.
That being said all these religions have some people in their midst that are not like the radicals and know that the radicals are just idiots trying to destroy the peace and serenity that can be obtained.

Mo_ - December 5th, 2009 at 5:18 pm

What rubbish.

1) The term 'Christian' refers to someone who holds to the teachings of Christianity. Since Christianity does not teach to bomb abortion clinics or kill abortionists (I refuse to call such people doctors) such people are not Christians.
2) Show me the list of people killed in such a manner in recent history.
3) Then show me where the person who did it pointed to a biblical passage as their motivation.
4) As to witches, what century are you living in?
5) We go to Islamic countries to take their oil? Show me the evidence that we have done so.
6) Islam is a perversion of both Judaism and Christianity.
6) Learn how to spell and write the English language properly before you start shooting off your mouth. It only makes you look even more ignorant.

Refute what I've said with facts. I dare you.

WeWeed_Up - December 5th, 2009 at 6:06 pm

Brilliant!! I'm glad I didn't miss this one. I and my happy spots thank you, Andrew!

dallasgirl - December 5th, 2009 at 6:15 pm

<DIV>1. Abortion clincs and doctors were harmed because of christian beliefs so these crimes were committed by radical chrstians.</DIV> <DIV>2. Cause has effects. So terrorists are created not born. There is a reason why radical muslims exist. Christians were not tolerant of Jews and muslims are not tolerant of christians or jews. You asked for examples so here you go… hate crimes on gays by chrstians, hate crimes against muslims by christians, and also if you consider the U.S. as christian then there have been multiple killings committed by them and an example of this is the war in Iraq.</DIV> <DIV>3. You are not better than anybody just because you are christianso you have no right to call a religion a perversion and if you do you are no better than the ones you hate.</DIV> <DIV>4. History past and present is filled with wars committed by these 3 religions. Its disgusting. Get over yourself because the rest of the world has had enough. </DIV> <DIV></DIV>

So right it is not actually funny. It is kind of an OUCH…

Acient pagans believed "naming" something gives it power. Clearly the pagans in the current administration think changing the name of something like, Islamic Terror into Man Made Calamity, reduces it's power.

Sadly they are wrong (again).

Mo_ - December 5th, 2009 at 6:28 pm

I said refute what I've said with FACTS.

1. Show me where the Bible teaches or condones behavior such as killing abortionists/bombing clinics. SHOW IT TO ME.
2. Show me all the "hate crimes" done by Christians against homosexuals, and where the perpetrators used biblical justification for them. (I put hate crimes in quotes because the very term is ridiculous. ALL crimes are out of hate! Who hurts someone because they love them?)

Not one fact listed here. Not one.

Get over yourself because I and others will not sit here and let you spout off your idiocy without calling you on it.

dallasgirl - December 5th, 2009 at 6:46 pm

<DIV>As with any religion, its not what the actual teachings say but how you interpret the scripture that gives you reason to commit crimes. I'm sure these christians thought God would be pleased if they went and killed gays, muslims, abortionists as you call them, etc. </DIV> <DIV>Its not idiocracy, its fact that these 3 religions can't and won't get along.Please act like the civilized children of God the bible says you are and love your neighbor. Hate breeds hate and you are full of it. </DIV> <DIV>Like I said before we, all otherreligions in the world, are sick of the 3 malfunctions. If you all want to fight over which religion is best get the f of this planet and doit elsewhere.</DIV> <DIV></DIV>

As with any religion, what matters is what the religion teaches, because words have actual MEANINGS. You do not make up a meaning out of nothing. There is no other way to "interpret" stuff like this except as what is clearly says. I suggest you read it:

http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/Quran/023-viole...

In fact, have you bothered to read the Koran or the Bible all the way through?

If you're at least willing to read the link I gave then I have no problem continuing this discussion. But since you have not bothered to give me any of the examples I asked for, or address any of my points, I do not hold out much hope that you have any sincere desire to learn anything about either Islam or Christianity.

It sounds like Tony has one lodged in his rectum. Did you hear about the professor at Binghamton U. who was stabbed to death in his office by a Muslim student yesterday? I guess the guy was upset about global warming…

macaoidh - December 5th, 2009 at 8:30 pm

Hey dallasgirl, why do you hate Christians so much?

dallasgirl - December 5th, 2009 at 8:49 pm

<DIV>Read an unbiased actual copy of the quran and it conveys almost the exact same message as the bible. I've read both. </DIV> <DIV>I dont think any one of these religions condone violence, I think certain people twist and turn these words to benefit them. Interpretation of the words in scripture is and always has been the mode of understanding the literature of all religions. </DIV> <DIV>The old testament is filled with violence and the new testament is filled with intolerance. Like I said before both religions can be used to create a reason for violence. </DIV> <DIV>I have given you plenty of examples of how christianity has used certain aspects of the bible to excuse their own behaviors. You give me some response like christians dont do that because the bible doesnt tell them to do it.</DIV> <DIV>Sorry but no where in the quran does it say to hop on a plane and fly it into skyscrapers. Not one word. Humans do evil. God, no matter what you call him, does not.</DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>

macaoidh - December 5th, 2009 at 9:26 pm

Speaking of stupid comments, you're equating Christianity – the single largest force in world history in favor of human rights, prosperity and civilization – with a political ideology disguised as a religion whose adherents have been responsible for 14,000 terrorist attacks since 9/11 alone – including one just yesterday, when a Muslim extremist grad student at Binghamton stabbed his professor to death in his office with a kitchen knife.

Please describe the equivalent of jihad in Christian scripture. Thanks in advance.

If Christians behaved like Muslims, Dan Brown would be in hiding like Salman Rushdie and the Monty Pythons might have suffered a similar fate as Theo van Gogh when they made the Life of Brian.

Moral relativity is willful ignorance.

macaoidh - December 5th, 2009 at 10:07 pm

You're sure? Perhaps you can cite an example then. Y'know, like bringing actual facts to an argument?

Your moral relativism is disgusting. Rather than posting here you should do something about that gaping hole where your soul should be.

yossarian22 - December 5th, 2009 at 10:15 pm

Did this really happen? No news of it that i have seen, which is not really surprising when you consider the perp. Sad, yet another example of PC dictating what gets reported and what gets buried.

Your ignorance is striking, if hardly surprising.

Mo_ - December 6th, 2009 at 1:52 am

Wow, I did not hear about this latest attack. Thanks, I will look it up.

There's no end to these attacks by Muslims and yet people like this Dallasgirl continue to bring up Christianity – not realizing that these savages hate her just as much and would slit her throat too if they had the chance. But no, Christianity is the true evil. The willful blindness of people like this never ceases to amaze me!

Mo_ - December 6th, 2009 at 1:53 am

And yet you have given ZERO facts to demonstrate this. Why is that?

Mo_ - December 6th, 2009 at 2:00 am

You are either lying or you have zero reading comprehension skills. Anyone who has read both knows they do not teach the same things. To say that they do is a flat out lie. How do I know it's a lie? Because no matter how many times I ask, you refuse to provide examples.
…
In fact, now that I've read your final few sentences, they show you are an outright liar in general. For one thing, obviously neither planes nor skyscrapers existed at the time the Koran was written. And yet I gave you a link full of passages that show the violence the Koran teaches. Did you bother to read it and refute what it says? No. Did you bother to give the examples from the Bible that teach the same things that the Koran teaches? No.

Get lost and do not speak to me again. I have wasted way too much time with you. You are ignorant about what BOTH Christianity and Islam teaches. Worse than that, you choose to remain that way.

Truly pathetic.

Mo_ - December 6th, 2009 at 2:04 am

A religion that teaches to treat others (whether believers or unbelievers) as we ourselves would like to be treated IS better than one that teaches forced conversion, submission or death of unbelievers. Why is that so difficult for you to grasp? In your twisted mind, these two things are exactly the same? How on earth do you even function in life? Do you equate food with poison? Of course not. One nourishes, one kills. Yet you do the same thing when it comes to this matter.

Mo_ - December 6th, 2009 at 2:06 am

I'm at a loss as to how to get through to people like this! No matter how many specific examples you give, they STILL maintain that these two religions are the same, or they equate Islam with any other religion.

It's like beating your head against a wall.

macaoidh - December 6th, 2009 at 2:28 am

Militant atheists hate all religions equally, and they also despise any kind of moral code. Couple such a philosophy with a will to power, and you have someone who will murder millions – as we have seen in China, Cambodia, Russia and elsewhere in the previous century.

They may be the most dangerous of all people, jihadist Muslims included (though I'll confess it's a tight race).

Ugh, how horrifying!

I wonder how many more people have to be slaughtered before the world wakes up?

Individualist - December 6th, 2009 at 5:19 am

I saw the story on textbook censoring on Fox News. In one part of this sector it showed this school in Texas for Muslims that was paid for by rich Saudi's. The textbooks in Arabic supported radical views. While many would rightly assume this hatred is being spewed by Islam it is should be noted that this poison is being funded by Dictators. Any Religion can be wrongly turned to Evil. It depends on the people that run the Religion.

I think that the answer must lie in overturning Dictatorial regimes. As long as a Prince or other group of ruling strong men rule these countries I think we will have an endless supply of these Terrorists. I have known some Muslims for over 20 years. They talk to me of the People of the Book and the necessity of Muslims to support Christians and Jews. In Iran we saw several Muslims that rejected the regime in power there last June marching under Green Banners. If we fail to understand the true enemy and reject those Muslims that would be our allies, this War on Terror is going to last 100 years. I don't know the answer but if I blame all Islam then my only course will be to support genocide. There has to be another answer.

semus - December 7th, 2009 at 5:10 pm

Actually our biggest problem is ignoramuses like you. If if wasn't this group of murderers it would be some other group of murderers you'd cuddle up with. Dr. Malt if you influence young people with that enlightened mind of yours, your not just ignorant your criminally ignorant.
