Oh, dearie, dearie, me. So the zealot speaks who refuses to examine the role that The Bible plays in motivating and excusing Christian Terrorists. Tsk, tsk.
What Christian terrorists? What bible motivation? Is there no end to your faux parallels and baseless comparisons?
Oh, dear, now trying to ignore the reference I provided yesterday, in the other thread, Soren?
Such disingenuousness. Such foolishness. Forgotten
Peter James Knight? He shot and killed a security guard at the East Melbourne Abortion Clinic which he attacked on 16 July 2001. He was motivated by Christian belief about the sanctity of life. Tsk, tsk.
As your own reference says, "This incident is the only killing by an anti-abortion activist in Australia's history.
But in your mind there is some parallel between the worldwide islamic jihad and knight's crime? You think you have demonstrated something important that others have missed. You think you have somehow demonstrated that there is no difference between jihad and that single murder as far as the culpability of religions in concerned.
Soren, both Islamist and Christian Terrorism are inspired by the wrong interpretations of the religions which underlay them.
Jihad, BTW, means literally "struggle". It does not mean "Terrorism". The MSM and lazy fools like yourself have perverted it's meaning in the minds of many people to mean "Terrorism". Were you aware that the Mujihadeen who fought against the Soviets in Afghanistan were undertaking their own personal Jihads? "Jihadis" is another perverted word. A person who takes up arms for religious reasons is referred to in Islamic teachings as a "Mujihadeen". I've known a Muslim woman who's first name was "Jihad". Given to her by her parents after a difficult delivery which was literally a "struggle". Jihad can be a physical, a religious or a mental struggle to achieve an objective. It can be peaceful, sometimes it can be violent, it all depends on the circumstances. If anything, is similar to the Christian concept of crusade which can be both a personal or an impersonal one.
Knight was inspired by Christianity. A bad, wrong interpretation of that teaching. Islamists are inspired by Islam. A bad, wrong interpretation of that teaching. See the similarity yet?
Quote:If so, you have the answe to why you are held in contempt and are seen as a complete, unalloyed idiot.
Oh, dearie, dearie, me. Nothing to see here, just Soren's tired old ad hominem insults. Move along folks, move along. Tsk, tsk. We always know when you're losing the argument, Soren 'cause you resort to your childish hurling of faeces.
