Someone famous said that. Gandhi, maybe? He won through in the end with complete and total pacifism. I am not saying we should not defend ourselves or even that taking land from ISIS was wrong. I am saying that the miserable reactions here will take us nowhere but further down.

Won?

How did he "win?"

India is a disaster. The Muzzie Beasts had to be partitioned off into Pakistan, breaking India apart. The Beasts continue to murder Indian Hindus and Christians to this day. Nothing Gandhi did made the Muzzie Beasts integrate into India. Two of his progeny were assassinated by Beasts. In the last 15 years, India has started down the road of a market economy and things are getting better. But what did Gandhi do other than created poverty and starvation, and massively increase violence, to the point that India has nuclear weapons at the ready to use and against the Beasts that Gandhi gave a country to as a means of making supposed peace?

The lovely thing muslims do with such bombs is put the nails in rat poison should you not be killed outright by the explosion.

Another fun tactic is one Muslim will blow himself up inside while another waits outside. Then as survivors flee the building the one outside detonates himself.

"The lovely thing", eh?

Yes, peaceful too I’m told.

“Two of the six attacks that rocked Sri Lanka this morning are reportedly to be have been carried out by suicide bombers. The attack at Shangri La hotel was carried out by suicide bomber Zahran Hashim, while Abu Mohammad has been identified as the attacker at the Batticalao church.”

Suicide bombers: “Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties, for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed.” (Qur’an 9:111)

Easter Sunday: “And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them whom you do not know, whom Allah knows.” (Qur’an 8:60)

Sri Lanka Terror Attack LIVE: Six explosions ripped through Sri Lanka’s churches and popular hotels on Sunday morning, with authorities saying 165 people were feared dead.

Gandhi started a revolution that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands.

The Religion of Peace strikes again.

Why hasn’t the civilized world banned Islam yet?

 

[Darkman00]

Death toll is over 200 now ...

Sorry I confused you. I was referring to Gandhi's mission, not the Hindu-Muslim problem. Gandhi's mission was independence from Britain, which was achieved. He opposed the partition, btw and might have made some strides toward Hindu-Muslim cooperation if he hadn't been murdered by a Hindu who wanted the Muslims OUT.
You can't achieve real peace flinging bombs. Neither side can.

But not at Liberty. The Christian university which dominates the town of Lynchburg, Virginia, has become almost synonymous with Trump. It sits at the heart of the alliance between the president and conservative evangelical Christians – an alliance forged in part by Jerry Falwell Jr, Liberty’s president, Lynchburg’s most prominent citizen and Trump’s close associate.

Falwell was instrumental in delivering 81% of white Christian evangelical voters for Trump in 2016. Ahead of next month’s midterm elections, that support appears to be holding up, although there has been some erosion among evangelical women. A survey published in early October by the Public Religion Research Institute found that 72% of white evangelical Protestants had a favourable opinion of the president.

In Liberty’s coffee bars, random conversations with a dozen or so students found they all backed Falwell’s full-throated support for Trump. But not everyone in the town in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains is happy. A minority at the university, along with a few churches in town, are deeply concerned. Some speak of a “toxic Christianity”.

'Toxic Christianity': the evangelicals creating champions for Trump

and now we have a toxic President in the Oval Office.

What about the toxic progressivism on every other college campus?

A review of Evangelical Christianity in Sri Lanka: The Politics of Growth, by Orlando Woods

Orlando Woods’s dissertation interprets the politics of evangelical Christian growth in Sri Lanka by framing proselytization via a religious economy. Situating his study with the rise of a Buddhist political elite after the 1980s, Woods states that the “moral impetus” for the dissertation is his “belief in the freedom of religious choice” over and against the Sri Lankan state’s attempts to restrict evangelical conversions, even while problematizing some of the coercive proselytization tactics used by evangelicals under the state’s radar (p. 3).

Accordingly, Woods is impelled to better understand the ethics of proselytization and the rise of anti-Christian politics in a “geo-religious” zone marked by two centuries of colonial Christian missionary activity. In so doing, he combines two theoretical constructs. First, he borrows from sociologist Fenggang Yang’s argument that there are differentiated religious markets, some of which are regulated by the state and some of which are more privatized and informal. Second, he modifies Anthony Giddens’s structuration theory to demonstrate that evangelical Christian growth can happen in Sri Lanka despite a hostile regulatory environment because evangelicals take advantage of multiple arenas to advance their conversionary agenda.

Woods’s central argument is that evangelical activity in Sri Lanka is best understood as agency within a structural mosaic. Moving between different niche markets to increase their religious presence, evangelicals have grown in competition to other religious groups, provoking the rise of a Buddhist right that construes this growth as a threat. Woods develops the theoretical underpinnings of this economic structure in Chapter 2. Drawing from Anthony Giddens and Nigel Thrift, he emphasizes the “heterogeneity of ‘structure’” that allows for evangelicals in Sri Lanka to cross structural categories of religion, sociality, culture, and the economy in order to evangelize in multiple geographical spheres (p. 39).

The rise of the Evangelicals in France is also the reason for fight against Christianity.

The Evangelicals in the US are the main cause of division in the US as well.

Liberal filth like you is the cause of the division in the USA.

When someone calls a large group of American citizens "liberal filth".......right, not a cause of division.....

muslims/islamists are much more prone to commit terrorists acts--it's in their ''culture''
1.Moscow Theater attack--not 1 or 2 or 10 attackers--but dozens--including females
2. out of a population of 600,000 with just 1% islam, it was the islamists that committed the Boston Bombing
3. 9-11
Ft Hood
San Bernadino
Munich 1972
Achille Lauro
etc etc etc
I don't see too many Scandinavians/etc committing terror acts

Perhaps but they sure make their views and definition of Islam known when folks like you don't roundly come out and attack them with way more outrage than you show....There are many muslims on USMB and rarely do they join in with the contempt and outrage that Western religions show!

This begs the question though, and it's a lot like an old adage about a tree in a forest:

"if a Christian church gets bombed, burned, tampered with or otherwise violated, and it's not a BLACK church, or one at which possibly a gay wedding has just taken place, thereby allowing the "news" to paint white Christian bigots as the primary suspects immediatly and with certainty, will they even consider it newsworthy?"

Its all over the news you fucking cretin.

What do you think the likelyhood is that we get a congressional hearing about the evils of Islamic Supremacism like we did for white supremacy after the christchurch attack?

That was NOT Gandhi's stated mission. He claimed that without Britain the fighting between the Beasts and the rest of Indians would cease. He made Britain a scapegoat for the inability of Beasts to integrate into any society or live in peace with ANY people. Yes, Britain left and tens of thousands starved to death as a result. What an amazing accomplishment.

I dont get these islamic freaks. Sri Lanka? And what point do they hope to make? Are they just trying to go to martyr heaven?
