No Way To Find Compromise

18.09.2006 21:58

I am so sick of the frickin Jihad Bull-Shit. It makes it impossible to find compromise with Muslums who agree with it's basis of Kill anyone who doesn't believe in Mohammad, I mean how do we compromise when they start with a deep desire to kill anyone not like them. This is so opposite the Gospel of Christ, He invites all to come to him, to learn on him, but he doesn't say we should kill others who don't follow him. They are kept from the truth because they know not where to find it, but it doesn't mean we want to kill them for it!

Hey,

the popes comments were carefully timed and deliberate as he knows this would upset muslims, and so the western media is carefully reporting on how upset moslems are and how fanatical they are etc etc. ( let someone question the virginity of the holy mother etc) the pope is part of the same ideological offensive that includes most western governments, ie the hijab ban in france, the danish cartoons etc. the pope is a political leader and he has acted in a very deliberate provocative way... ask yourself why???
