How many "Allah Ackbar"s will people die from this year?
Terrorist month, tbh.
How many people will die because of the terrorism of godless people which are speaking in the name of god? This year? I guess as many as last year. How many were it last year?
Hmm. This is . . . interesting given your comments on the other thread. Now, you consider it an attack on you and your beliefs when one so much as questions some of the "stories" contained in your holy book, yet here you are attacking another's beliefs?
He's a Muslim - I'm a Catholic: We know what we are speaking about. You don't know. You are an Atheist. I attacked the Atheists of the organisation "Islamic State" because they are murdering Christians and Muslims. My question was "How can it be that the devil is chained in Ramadan if this people are murdering the same time?" This was a serios question and not an attack. He and I are not confused if Atheists are speaking in the name of god. We know that this is possible. Someone who really believes in god cares about his elementary rules and he is not attacking the houses of god - churches, mosques, synagogues, temples - nor is someone killing his children because of our rules. Our rules are not the same but they are rules for the people and their ways to live and not for death and destruction.
Not very consistent of you, I must say. And here we can see how religious beliefs are very divisive to the world and what I meant when I said they "hold us back." With your competing beliefs, how can we ever expect to get a semblance of peace in this world?
When George W. Bush for example started to prepare the war against the Iraq we held here a church service - a meeting - in a very cold winter night in one of our very old churches. It came Protestants from some different churches, Catholics, Jews, Muslims and Buddhists. We prayed together. The Buddhist held a speech - a Muslim spoke the Lords prayer - I remember still the wonderful voice of the Rabbi when he sang - others did other things - It was wonderful night - so many children - so many lights in this dark night - and so many hopeful people of so many hopeful traditions. Nevertheless war began some time later. I'm sure we were very near - but still not able to reach peace. Next time it will be better and one time war will be over.

The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. It shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and shall be lifted up above the hills; and all the nations shall flow to it, and many peoples shall come, and say: "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob, that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths." For out of Zion shall go the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. He shall judge between the nations, and shall decide disputes for many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore. O house of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the Lord.

I am glad you pointed that out because as a Catholic you should know that your religion has been responsible for more bloodshed than all other religions combined and that includes Islam. The wars the Jesuit arm of your Vatican have created (on behalf of their Jesuit General - the Black pope) Crusades, Inquisitions, World Wars (both 1 & 2 ) the torture and slaughter of 58 million people during 605 years of the Catholic Inquisitions - forced conversions at the threat of execution or being burned alive at the stake, burying over 150,000 people alive the RCC accused of being witches (and they do their best to direct everyone
s attention at the 28 persons who died during the Salem witch trials - how ironic) the bloodshed of 6 1/2 million Jews on the hands of the Vatican personally - truth was told by ex-Jesuit Alberto Rivera - with all of this and not adding in that your church is the creator - the founder of communism from the beginning - the one who exploited the Arabs for their own selfish gain and provoked them to anger to cause them to war against the Jews and Protestant missionaries when before your church became involved they were at peace with one another - yes, Catholicism is at the root of every imaginable evil - bloodshed estimates perhaps 200 - 250 million people dead because of the RCC and their instigations of Wars, running both sides of wars, assassinations of presidents, kings, rulers, creating factions behind the scenes and such. And you want to judge Islam?
Islam cannot hold a candle to the bloodshed your own religion has caused. You need to take a long hard look at the history of your own religion and realize that you should have abandoned it a long time ago.
What is happening today in Islam is due to the interference created by your Vatican into the lives of the people of the Middle east. The responsibility lays square on the shoulders of the Vatican. ALL OF IT.
