Americans....

How have Americans killed more innocent Americans than anyone?

 

[DocDePanda187123]

IDK… I've seen too many direct translations of the Quran 3:28 explanation of "al Taqiyya" from people who have escaped that world to really believe that only a small % of these guys are extremist.

"Taqiyya ("al Taqiyya") is the Muslims' license to lie to infidels in order to camouflage Islam's holy war strategy (jihad) to conquer the world. The strategy mentioned through orders and solicitations in the Quran 3:28 and other Islamic writings and reference applies to all Western countries and against all infidels people (non-muslims) who is not Islamic and therefore seen as a constant threat to Islam."

So you're worried about someone lying? Are Muslims the only ones that lie? Im lied to by the president, congress, and politicians daily.....

The Quaran does use the word infidels. The word used is kafir which means someone who rejects. Ironically enough, infidel is a Christian term originating from a latin language. Funny, read conveniently, how that gets misused all the time

...Anyone else see the below post on Facebook?

So let's put things in perspective: The Shoe Bomber was a Muslim
The Beltway Snipers were Muslims
The Fort Hood Shooter was a Muslim
The underwear Bomber was a Muslim
The U-S.S. Cole Bombers were Muslims
The Madrid Train Bombers were Muslims
The Bafi Nightclub Bombers were Muslims
The London Subway Bombers were Muslims
The Moscow Theatre Attackers were Muslims
The Boston Marathon Bombers were Muslims
The Pan-Am flight #93 Bombers were Muslims
The Air France Entebbe Hijackers were Muslims
The Iranian Embassy Takeover, was by Muslims
The Beirut U.S. Embassy bombers were Muslims
The Libyan U.S. Embassy Attack was by Musiims
The Buenos Aires Suicide Bombers were Muslims
The Israeli Olympic Team Attackers were Muslims
The Kenyan U.S, Embassy Bombers were Muslims
The Saudi, Khobar Towers Bombers were Muslims
The Beirut Marine Barracks bombers were Muslims
The Besian Russian School Attackers were Muslims
The first World Trade Center Bombers were Muslims
The Bombay & Mumbai India Attackers were Muslims
The Achille Lauro Cruise Ship Hijackers were Muslims
The September 11th 2001 Airline Hijackers were Muslims'

Pope Urban II was the one who started the crusades. He was catholic. It is estimated that anywhere between 1-3 million ppl died in the crusades at the hands of a catholic pope. Let's add up your figures and mine and see which rigorous organization has more blood on it's hands . And some simple statistics for you: those 1-3million ppl who died in the crusades was during a period when the earth's population was about 300million ppl. That's about 5% of the earths population at that time. For Muslims to cause the same percentage of death they'd need to kill 34miion ppl for today's population. Again I ask, which religious organization has more blood on it's hands? And let's not forget that's just the crusades.....

Let's not forget Sandy Hook, Columbine, VA Tech, Killeen, TX shootings, San Ysidro, Cali shooting, Austin, TX where a US marine shot and killed 16 and injured more, I could go on but my point is clear.

Think of it:

Buddhists living with Hindus = No Problem

Wrong. Sinhalese Buddhists and Tamil Hindus killed each other.

Hindus living with Christians = No Problem

Wrong again. The Indian Human Rights Commission was asked to investigate the slaughter of Indian Christians at the hands of Indian Hindus in the Orissa state.

Hindus living with Jews = No Problem

Pretty peaceful together since they both hate the Muslims. The enemy of my enemy is my friend....

Christians living with Shintos = No Problem

Wrong again. Iemitsu, the 3rd shogun in the Tokugawa dynasty went on a Christian killing spree. Between 1614 and the 1640s at least tens of thousands of Christians were killed under the Shinto.

Shintos living with Confucians = No Problem

You've got to be kidding me? The confucious Chinese and Shinto Japanese murdered each other for years.

Confusians living with Baha'is = No Problem

^^^ this one is truly fukking hilarious. You do realize the Baha'is religion started as a sexy of the Muslim Shi'a religion? Oh the irony.

Baha'is living with Jews = No Problem

A religion that started from the Shi'ah Muslim sect living with Jews with no problems? The irony from the last one is only topped by the irony in this one.

Jews living with Atheists = No Problem

Although there is much debate, there is a good amount of evidence that Hitler was aetheist. You mean to tell me that Hitler lived with the Jewish ppl with no problem???

Atheists living with Buddhists = No Problem
Buddhists living with Sikhs = No Problem
Sikhs living with Hindus = No Problem
Hindus living with Baha'is = No Problem
Baha'is living with Christians = No Problem
Christians living with Jews = No Problem
Jews living with Buddhists = No Problem
Buddhists living with Shintos = No Problem
Shintos living with Atheists = No Problem
Atheists living with Confucians = No Problem
Confusians living with Hindus = No Problem

Muslims living with Hindus = Problem
Muslims living with Buddhists = Problem
Muslims living with Christians = Problem
Muslims living with Jews = Problem
Muslims living with Sikhs = Problem
Muslims living with Baha'is = Problem
Muslims living with Shintos = Problem
Muslims living with Atheists = Problem
MUSLIMS LIVING WITH MUSLIMS = BIG PROBLEM

In the interest of prioritizing my time I hope you're not going to make me to through the list one by one. I think the first few were enough to prove my point as to just how accurate this "Facebook" post is....

The Animal Liberation Front is a terrorist organization made up of Christian Americans, the Army of God is a terrorist group, the Aryan Nation is a terrorist group, the Black Linerstion Army is a terrorist group, the jewish Defense league, the KKK, the Weathermen, the United Freedom Front, etc are all terrorist groups made up of Americans and in many cases Christian Americans specifically.

 

[DocDePanda187123]

How have Americans killed more innocent Americans than anyone?

Do I really need to spell it out? Civil war and slavey, Oklahoma City bombing, Waco TX, Sandy Hook, Columbine, etc etc. Look at the homocide statistics of the US.....

 

[don draco]

I have to ask Don, have you even read the Quran? Bc you are talking about things you don't know and out of context. I mean the bible actually demands death for those who work on the Sabbath (Exodus 31:15), if a man has sex with a woman and her mother, the Bible demands the death of the woman and mother as well as the man (Levitocus 20:14), and in Joshua 7:1-26 God commands Joshua and Israel to kill Achan for taking an accursed ring. So you only care if the Quran mentions death to bacon eaters but not about the bible killing people for working on a Sunday???? Wow, my own dad would have been put to death and the bible used as justification bc he worked two jobs and on Sundays to provide food on our table. Furthermore, the bible also mentions death to women that have laid with men outside of wedlock even if it wasn't by choice.....yes, let's kill rape victims also smh.

Ooooo this one is good, are you ready? The bible says to kill homosexuals Leviticus 20:13 and bc of the bible 1 in 6 gay or bisexual men in the UK for example have been the subject of violence. Oh goody, let's go kill the homosexuals now and be staunch Christians *eyes rolling*

God tells Moses to kill and decapitate all non-believers and hang their heads in public to be seen by everyone (Numbers 25:3-4) but oh wait, I thought the Quran was the only violent book teach violence and death? *eyes rolling*

You try to explain away the crusades as a political even rather than a religious one when THE POPE HIMSELF PUT HIS BLESSING ON KILLING, murdering, etc to the Muslim ppl. But in your eyes it's ok bc they're Christian.....for CHRIST'S sake (pun partially intended) the Vatican has a spokesperson in US politics or did you not know that? Do you not remember the church was the politicians back in the days of the crusades?

Let's not forget the concentration camps run by the Catholic Ustase in Croatia. 300,000-600,000 Jewish ppl and non-believers are though to have been killed at he hands of the Christians between 1942-1943. The killings that happened here were SO VICIOUS that the
Sicherheitsdient de SS went back and complained to Hitler about the brutality. He did nothing. The Pope was aware of what was going on here in the name of the church. He too did NOTHING.



You are twisting things to beyond the realm of fact and into fiction. So again, let me get this right, it's ok for the bible to actually encourage SLAVERY of men and woman and children of different skin colors and backgrounds? I mean Jefferson Davis decreed slavery was ok according to the bible and as a result, more Americans died in the Civil War than bc of all terrorist acts combined but hey let's blame the quaran *eyes roll*

You're worried about Islam not being able to coexist peacefully in the world is absolute propagandist bullshit. They coexist peacefully in Lebanon where the country is roughly 50/50 Christian and Muslim with even a small Jewish population to boot. But hey, as long the Catholic Church has hundreds millions of dollars to cover up, bribe, and shut up little boys from coming forward about being raped by priests it's all good bc the Quran is really violent....

Although it's natural for people to argue the Islam is a religion of war and violence issue when they're racist, stereotyped, or have had bad experiences with Muslims, but the sad reality is it is still no better than whites enslaving blacks, what Hitler did to the Newish ppl, the apartheids and genocides in Africa, the death of millions at the hands of Stalin, Mao, etc. In closing, neither is Islam the religion of violence that it's opponents try to paint it to be.


And for when you have time, can you please go incident by incident and explain why each act of murder as promoted by Catholicism is ok? Here's one list:


Ancient Pagans

As soon as Christianity was legal (315), more and more pagan temples were destroyed by Christian mob. Pagan priests were killed.
Between 315 and 6th century thousands of pagan believers were slain.
Examples of destroyed Temples: the Sanctuary of Aesculap in Aegaea, the Temple of Aphrodite in Golgatha, Aphaka in Lebanon, the Heliopolis.
Christian priests such as Mark of Arethusa or Cyrill of Heliopolis were famous as "temple destroyer." [DA468]
Pagan services became punishable by death in 356. [DA468]
Christian Emperor Theodosius (408-450) even had children executed, because they had been playing with remains of pagan statues. [DA469]
According to Christian chroniclers he "followed meticulously all Christian teachings..."
In 6th century pagans were declared void of all rights.
In the early fourth century the philosopher Sopatros was executed on demand of Christian authorities. [DA466]
The world famous female philosopher Hypatia of Alexandria was torn to pieces with glass fragments by a hysterical Christian mob led by a Christian minister named Peter, in a church, in 415.
[DO19-25]
Mission

Emperor Karl (Charlemagne) in 782 had 4500 Saxons, unwilling to convert to Christianity, beheaded. [DO30]
Peasants of Steding (Germany) unwilling to pay suffocating church taxes: between 5,000 and 11,000 men, women and children slain 5/27/1234 near Altenesch/Germany. [WW223]
Battle of Belgrad 1456: 80,000 Turks slaughtered. [DO235]
15th century Poland: 1019 churches and 17987 villages plundered by Knights of the Order. Victims unknown. [DO30]
16th and 17th century Ireland. English troops "pacified and civilized" Ireland, where only Gaelic "wild Irish", "unreasonable beasts lived without any knowledge of God or good manners, in common of their goods, cattle, women, children and every other thing." One of the more successful soldiers, a certain Humphrey Gilbert, half-brother of Sir Walter Raleigh, ordered that "the heddes of all those (of what sort soever thei were) which were killed in the daie, should be cutte off from their bodies... and should bee laied on the ground by eche side of the waie", which effort to civilize the Irish indeed caused "greate terrour to the people when thei sawe the heddes of their dedde fathers, brothers, children, kinsfolke, and freinds on the grounde".
Tens of thousands of Gaelic Irish fell victim to the carnage. [SH99, 225]
Crusades (1095-1291)

First Crusade: 1095 on command of pope Urban II. [WW11-41]
Semlin/Hungary 6/24/96 thousands slain. Wieselburg/Hungary 6/12/96 thousands. [WW23]
9/9/96-9/26/96 Nikaia, Xerigordon (then turkish), thousands respectively. [WW25-27]
Until Jan 1098 a total of 40 capital cities and 200 castles conquered (number of slain unknown) [WW30]
after 6/3/98 Antiochia (then turkish) conquered, between 10,000 and 60,000 slain. 6/28/98 100,000 Turks (incl. women & children) killed. [WW32-35]
Here the Christians "did no other harm to the women found in [the enemy's] tents—save that they ran their lances through their bellies," according to Christian chronicler Fulcher of Chartres. [EC60]
Marra (Maraat an-numan) 12/11/98 thousands killed. Because of the subsequent famine "the already stinking corpses of the enemies were eaten by the Christians" said chronicler Albert Aquensis. [WW36]
Jerusalem conquered 7/15/1099 more than 60,000 victims (jewish, muslim, men, women, children). [WW37-40]
(In the words of one witness: "there [in front of Solomon's temple] was such a carnage that our people were wading ankle-deep in the blood of our foes", and after that "happily and crying for joy our people marched to our Saviour's tomb, to honour it and to pay off our debt of gratitude")
The Archbishop of Tyre, eye-witness, wrote: "It was impossible to look upon the vast numbers of the slain without horror; everywhere lay fragments of human bodies, and the very ground was covered with the blood of the slain. It was not alone the spectacle of headless bodies and mutilated limbs strewn in all directions that roused the horror of all who looked upon them. Still more dreadful was it to gaze upon the victors themselves, dripping with blood from head to foot, an ominous sight which brought terror to all who met them. It is reported that within the Temple enclosure alone about ten thousand infidels perished." [TG79]
Christian chronicler Eckehard of Aura noted that "even the following summer in all of palestine the air was polluted by the stench of decomposition". One million victims of the first crusade alone. [WW41]
Battle of Askalon, 8/12/1099. 200,000 heathens slaughtered "in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ". [WW45]
Fourth crusade: 4/12/1204 Constantinople sacked, number of victims unknown, numerous thousands, many of them Christian. [WW141-148]
Rest of Crusades in less detail: until the fall of Akkon 1291 probably 20 million victims (in the Holy land and Arab/Turkish areas alone). [WW224]
Note: All figures according to contemporary (Christian) chroniclers.

Heretics

Already in 385 C.E. the first Christians, the Spanish Priscillianus and six followers, were beheaded for heresy in Trier/Germany [DO26]
Manichaean heresy: a crypto-Christian sect decent enough to practice birth control (and thus not as irresponsible as faithful Catholics) was exterminated in huge campaigns all over the Roman empire between 372 C.E. and 444 C.E. Numerous thousands of victims. [NC]
Albigensians: the first Crusade intended to slay other Christians. [DO29]
The Albigensians...viewed themselves as good Christians, but would not accept roman Catholic rule, and taxes, and prohibition of birth control. [NC]
Begin of violence: on command of pope Innocent III (greatest single pre-nazi mass murderer) in 1209. Bezirs (today France) 7/22/1209 destroyed, all the inhabitants were slaughtered. Victims (including Catholics refusing to turn over their heretic neighbours and friends) 20,000-70,000. [WW179-181]
Carcassonne 8/15/1209, thousands slain. Other cities followed. [WW181]
subsequent 20 years of war until nearly all Cathars (probably half the population of the Languedoc, today southern France) were exterminated. [WW183]
After the war ended (1229) the Inquisition was founded 1232 to search and destroy surviving/hiding heretics. Last Cathars burned at the stake 1324. [WW183]
Estimated one million victims (cathar heresy alone), [WW183]
Other heresies: Waldensians, Paulikians, Runcarians, Josephites, and many others. Most of these sects exterminated, (I believe some Waldensians live today, yet they had to endure 600 years of persecution) I estimate at least hundred thousand victims (including the Spanish inquisition but excluding victims in the New World).
Spanish Inquisitor Torquemada alone allegedly responsible for 10,220 burnings. [DO28]
John Huss, a critic of papal infallibility and indulgences, was burned at the stake in 1415. [LI475-522]
University professor B.Hubmaier burned at the stake 1538 in Vienna. [DO59]
Giordano Bruno, Dominican monk, after having been incarcerated for seven years, was burned at the stake for heresy on the Campo dei Fiori (Rome) on 2/17/1600.
Witches

from the beginning of Christianity to 1484 probably more than several thousand.
in the era of witch hunting (1484-1750) according to modern scholars several hundred thousand (about 80% female) burned at the stake or hanged. [WV]
incomplete list of documented cases:
The Burning of Witches - A Chronicle of the Burning Times

17th century: Catholics slay Gaspard de Coligny, a Protestant leader. After murdering him, the Catholic mob mutilated his body, "cutting off his head, his hands, and his genitals... and then dumped him into the river [...but] then, deciding that it was not worthy of being food for the fish, they hauled it out again [... and] dragged what was left ... to the gallows of Montfaulcon, 'to be meat and carrion for maggots and crows'." [SH191]
17th century: Catholics sack the city of Magdeburg/Germany: roughly 30,000 Protestants were slain. "In a single church fifty women were found beheaded," reported poet Friedrich Schiller, "and infants still sucking the breasts of their lifeless mothers." [SH191]
17th century 30 years' war (Catholic vs. Protestant): at least 40% of population decimated, mostly in Germany. [DO31-32]
Jews

Already in the 4th and 5th centuries synagogues were burned by Christians. Number of Jews slain unknown.
In the middle of the fourth century the first synagogue was destroyed on command of bishop Innocentius of Dertona in Northern Italy. The first synagogue known to have been burned down was near the river Euphrat, on command of the bishop of Kallinikon in the year 388. [DA450]
17. Council of Toledo 694: Jews were enslaved, their property confiscated, and their children forcibly baptized. [DA454]

1389 In Prag 3,000 Jews were slaughtered. [DO42]
1391 Seville's Jews killed (Archbishop Martinez leading). 4,000 were slain, 25,000 sold as slaves. [DA454] Their identification was made easy by the brightly colored "badges of shame" that all jews above the age of ten had been forced to wear.
1492: In the year Columbus set sail to conquer a New World, more than 150,000 Jews were expelled from Spain, many died on their way: 6/30/1492. [MM470-476]
1648 Chmielnitzki massacres: In Poland about 200,000 Jews were slain. [DO43]
(I feel sick ...) this goes on and on, century after century, right into the kilns of Auschwitz.

Native Peoples

Beginning with Columbus (a former slave trader and would-be Holy Crusader) the conquest of the New World began, as usual understood as a means to propagate Christianity.
Within hours of landfall on the first inhabited island he encountered in the Caribbean, Columbus seized and carried off six native people who, he said, "ought to be good servants ... [and] would easily be made Christians, because it seemed to me that they belonged to no religion." [SH200]
While Columbus described the Indians as "idolators" and "slaves, as many as [the Crown] shall order," his pal Michele de Cuneo, Italian nobleman, referred to the natives as "beasts" because "they eat when they are hungry," and made love "openly whenever they feel like it." [SH204-205]
On every island he set foot on, Columbus planted a cross, "making the declarations that are required" - the requerimiento - to claim the ownership for his Catholic patrons in Spain. And "nobody objected." If the Indians refused or delayed their acceptance (or understanding), the requerimiento continued:
I certify to you that, with the help of God, we shall powerfully enter in your country and shall make war against you ... and shall subject you to the yoke and obedience of the Church ... and shall do you all mischief that we can, as to vassals who do not obey and refuse to receive their lord and resist and contradict him." [SH66]

Likewise in the words of John Winthrop, first governor of Massachusetts Bay Colony: "justifieinge the undertakeres of the intended Plantation in New England ... to carry the Gospell into those parts of the world, ... and to raise a Bulworke against the kingdome of the Ante-Christ." [SH235]
In average two thirds of the native population were killed by colonist-imported smallpox before violence began. This was a great sign of "the marvelous goodness and providence of God" to the Christians of course, e.g. the Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony wrote in 1634, as "for the natives, they are near all dead of the smallpox, so as the Lord hath cleared our title to what we possess." [SH109,238]
On Hispaniola alone, on Columbus visits, the native population (Arawak), a rather harmless and happy people living on an island of abundant natural resources, a literal paradise, soon mourned 50,000 dead. [SH204]
The surviving Indians fell victim to rape, murder, enslavement and spanish raids.
As one of the culprits wrote: "So many Indians died that they could not be counted, all through the land the Indians lay dead everywhere. The stench was very great and pestiferous." [SH69]
The indian chief Hatuey fled with his people but was captured and burned alive. As "they were tying him to the stake a Franciscan friar urged him to take Jesus to his heart so that his soul might go to heaven, rather than descend into hell. Hatuey replied that if heaven was where the Christians went, he would rather go to hell." [SH70]
What happened to his people was described by an eyewitness:
"The Spaniards found pleasure in inventing all kinds of odd cruelties ... They built a long gibbet, long enough for the toes to touch the ground to prevent strangling, and hanged thirteen [natives] at a time in honor of Christ Our Saviour and the twelve Apostles... then, straw was wrapped around their torn bodies and they were burned alive." [SH72]
Or, on another occasion:
"The Spaniards cut off the arm of one, the leg or hip of another, and from some their heads at one stroke, like butchers cutting up beef and mutton for market. Six hundred, including the cacique, were thus slain like brute beasts...Vasco [de Balboa] ordered forty of them to be torn to pieces by dogs." [SH83]
The "island's population of about eight million people at the time of Columbus's arrival in 1492 already had declined by a third to a half before the year 1496 was out." Eventually all the island's natives were exterminated, so the Spaniards were "forced" to import slaves from other caribbean islands, who soon suffered the same fate. Thus "the Caribbean's millions of native people [were] thereby effectively liquidated in barely a quarter of a century". [SH72-73] "In less than the normal lifetime of a single human being, an entire culture of millions of people, thousands of years resident in their homeland, had been exterminated." [SH75]
"And then the Spanish turned their attention to the mainland of Mexico and Central America. The slaughter had barely begun. The exquisite city of Tenochtitln [Mexico city] was next." [SH75]
Cortez, Pizarro, De Soto and hundreds of other spanish conquistadors likewise sacked southern and mesoamerican civilizations in the name of Christ (De Soto also sacked Florida).
"When the 16th century ended, some 200,000 Spaniards had moved to the Americas. By that time probably more than 60,000,000 natives were dead." [SH95]
Of course no different were the founders of what today is the US of Amerikkka.

Although none of the settlers would have survived winter without native help, they soon set out to expel and exterminate the Indians. Warfare among (north American) Indians was rather harmless, in comparison to European standards, and was meant to avenge insults rather than conquer land. In the words of some of the pilgrim fathers: "Their Warres are farre less bloudy...", so that there usually was "no great slawter of nether side". Indeed, "they might fight seven yeares and not kill seven men." What is more, the Indians usually spared women and children. [SH111]
In the spring of 1612 some English colonists found life among the (generally friendly and generous) natives attractive enough to leave Jamestown - "being idell ... did runne away unto the Indyans," - to live among them (that probably solved a sex problem).
"Governor Thomas Dale had them hunted down and executed: 'Some he apointed (sic) to be hanged Some burned Some to be broken upon wheles, others to be staked and some shott to deathe'." [SH105] Of course these elegant measures were restricted for fellow englishmen: "This was the treatment for those who wished to act like Indians. For those who had no choice in the matter, because they were the native people of Virginia" methods were different: "when an Indian was accused by an Englishman of stealing a cup and failing to return it, the English response was to attack the natives in force, burning the entire community" down. [SH105]
On the territory that is now Massachusetts the founding fathers of the colonies were committing genocide, in what has become known as the "Peqout War". The killers were New England Puritan Christians, refugees from persecution in their own home country England.
When however, a dead colonist was found, apparently killed by Narragansett Indians, the Puritan colonists wanted revenge. Despite the Indian chief's pledge they attacked.
Somehow they seem to have lost the idea of what they were after, because when they were greeted by Pequot Indians (long-time foes of the Narragansetts) the troops nevertheless made war on the Pequots and burned their villages.
The puritan commander-in-charge John Mason after one massacre wrote: "And indeed such a dreadful Terror did the Almighty let fall upon their Spirits, that they would fly from us and run into the very Flames, where many of them perished ... God was above them, who laughed his Enemies and the Enemies of his People to Scorn, making them as a fiery Oven ... Thus did the Lord judge among the Heathen, filling the Place with dead Bodies": men, women, children. [SH113-114]
So "the Lord was pleased to smite our Enemies in the hinder Parts, and to give us their land for an inheritance". [SH111].
Because of his readers' assumed knowledge of Deuteronomy, there was no need for Mason to quote the words that immediately follow:
"Thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth. But thou shalt utterly destroy them..." (Deut 20)
Mason's comrade Underhill recalled how "great and doleful was the bloody sight to the view of the young soldiers" yet reassured his readers that "sometimes the Scripture declareth women and children must perish with their parents". [SH114]
Other Indians were killed in successful plots of poisoning. The colonists even had dogs especially trained to kill Indians and to devour children from their mothers breasts, in the colonists' own words: "blood Hounds to draw after them, and Mastives to seaze them." (This was inspired by spanish methods of the time)
In this way they continued until the extermination of the Pequots was near. [SH107-119]
The surviving handful of Indians "were parceled out to live in servitude. John Endicott and his pastor wrote to the governor asking for 'a share' of the captives, specifically 'a young woman or girle and a boy if you thinke good'." [SH115]
Other tribes were to follow the same path.
Comment the Christian exterminators: "God's Will, which will at last give us cause to say: How Great is His Goodness! and How Great is his Beauty!"
"Thus doth the Lord Jesus make them to bow before him, and to lick the Dust!" [TA]
Like today, lying was OK to Christians then. "Peace treaties were signed with every intention to violate them: when the Indians 'grow secure uppon (sic) the treatie', advised the Council of State in Virginia, 'we shall have the better Advantage both to surprise them, & cutt downe theire Corne'." [SH106]
In 1624 sixty heavily armed Englishmen cut down 800 defenseless Indian men, women and children. [SH107]
In a single massacre in "King Philip's War" of 1675 and 1676 some "600 Indians were destroyed. A delighted Cotton Mather, revered pastor of the Second Church in Boston, later referred to the slaughter as a 'barbeque'." [SH115]
To summarize: Before the arrival of the English, the western Abenaki people in New Hampshire and Vermont had numbered 12,000. Less than half a century later about 250 remained alive - a destruction rate of 98%. The Pocumtuck people had numbered more than 18,000, fifty years later they were down to 920 - 95% destroyed. The Quiripi-Unquachog people had numbered about 30,000, fifty years later they were down to 1500 - 95% destroyed. The Massachusetts people had numbered at least 44,000, fifty years later barely 6000 were alive - 81% destroyed. [SH118] These are only a few examples of the multitude of tribes living before Christian colonists set their foot on the New World. All this was before the smallpox epidemics of 1677 and 1678 had occurred. And the carnage was not over then.
All the above was only the beginning of the European colonization, it was before the frontier age actually had begun.
A total of maybe more than 150 million Indians (of both Americas) were destroyed in the period of 1500 to 1900, as an average two thirds by smallpox and other epidemics, that leaves some 50 million killed directly by violence, bad treatment and slavery.
In many countries, such as Brazil, and Guatemala, this continues even today.
More Glorious events in US history

Reverend Solomon Stoddard, one of New England's most esteemed religious leaders, in "1703 formally proposed to the Massachusetts Governor that the colonists be given the financial wherewithal to purchase and train large packs of dogs 'to hunt Indians as they do bears'." [SH241]
Massacre of Sand Creek, Colorado 11/29/1864. Colonel John Chivington, a former Methodist minister and still elder in the church ("I long to be wading in gore") had a Cheyenne village of about 600, mostly women and children, gunned down despite the chiefs' waving with a white flag: 400-500 killed.
From an eye-witness account: "There were some thirty or forty squaws collected in a hole for protection; they sent out a little girl about six years old with a white flag on a stick; she had not proceeded but a few steps when she was shot and killed. All the squaws in that hole were afterwards killed ..." [SH131]
More gory details.
By the 1860s, "in Hawai'i the Reverend Rufus Anderson surveyed the carnage that by then had reduced those islands' native population by 90 percent or more, and he declined to see it as tragedy; the expected total die-off of the Hawaiian population was only natural, this missionary said, somewhat equivalent to 'the amputation of diseased members of the body'." [SH244]

First off, the debate is not about Christianity. Not in any way, shape or form. I was responding to POB's comment concerning the issues with Christianity. The point I was making is that the bible was misused to accomplish the political goals of the religious establishment. The bible itself ( especially the new testament, the central focus of Catholicism ) does not contain any verses that condone the atrocities that took place during the Crusades.

I will never understand why the focus is immediately shifted to past issues with other groups whenever a debate on Islam is started. Using the past wrongs of existing religious groups to justify the current wrongs of those who follow Islam does not equate to taking a stance on the issue. It's merely an attempt at distracting from it. The issue is what's happening now, not the past.

If you'd like to have a debate on the moral issues that exist in the Old Testament of the bible, we can start a different thread on that. But you still haven't refuted any of the points I've made. You simply state that I'm "twisting" reality, with no evidence to support your claim. Please pick out the parts I've twisted and get back to me. And yes, I have read the Quran.

As for the historical events you've listed, I'll take the time to look over them in a few hours when I get back from the gym. If you could find the verses in the bible that support their actions -- and your argument (?) -- I'd appreciate it. But please keep in mind that I never said that any acts of violence were "okay." Violence committed by any group against others simply because they do not share their beliefs is unacceptable. You're putting words into my mouth in an attempt to weaken my argument, Doc. I'd appreciate it if we could stay on topic. Please show me what I've taken out of context and display how I've twisted the words of the Quran and Hadith.

 

[don draco]

Your going to have a hell of a time trying to justify this ^^^ position without looking like a complete asshat and, honestly, its worrying that so many seem to be in agreement with you.

IMO there is no debate to be had here.
Having a few extremists does not, in any circumstance, justify killing off 20% of the world population in order to "cure the world of this disease" - end of discussion.

The "disease" is the ideology. Not the people. Islam needs to be abolished or reformed. Maybe my suggestion was a bit vague, but I never said anything about killing the muslim people for their beliefs.

 

[Milo]

Do I really need to spell it out? Civil war and slavey, Oklahoma City bombing, Waco TX, Sandy Hook, Columbine, etc etc. Look at the homocide statistics of the US.....

Civil War was WAR. Don't think too many Confederates packed their assholes with gunpowder to blow a theater to shit. I fail to see how "innocent" Americans were killed during the Civil War. It was American soldiers killing American soldiers.

As for slavery, slaves were considered property and were worth a lot of money. Killing them would mean they'd have to be replaced which was not cost effective. Slaves were slaves not innocent casualties. They lived and were even given medical attention because they were considered investments and the slave owners wanted to get the most work out of their dollars spent on slaves. Regardless, slavery is unacceptable.

Not going to touch on the rest you listed. As per numbers, 9/11 alone has a higher innocent death count (not to take away from the other events even though I noticed you left out Ft Hood).

And we're just talking about Americans here. Islamic extremists kill everyone. Tally up the death count they've stacked up in their history, against all nations and religions, and get back to me.

I'm not for violence by anyone for any reason. And yes Christians have stacked up a huge death count as well. I don't associate myself with any religion because I think they're all ****ing crazy. But I live and let live as long as it doesn't affect me or anyone I care about. Islamic extremists will NOT live by the same philosophy.

50,000 innocents aka non-combatants died In the civil war. I'm not simg talking about soldiers....

You didn't see Jefferson Davis packing his asshole with anything bc the technologically advanced countries and armies have all the bells and whistles. Why would you need to stuff gunpowder up your ass when you have atomic weapons?

Not going to touch on the rest you listed. As per numbers, 9/11 alone has a higher innocent death count (not to take away from the other events even though I noticed you left out Ft Hood).

I left out a lot of incidents to save time. 9/11's death count is higher one an event per event basis. It's not even close when you add up all the events unlisted.

And we're just talking about Americans here. Islamic extremists kill everyone. Tally up the death count they've stacked up in their history, against all nations and religions, and get back to me.

I did. Christians killed off 5% of the worlds population during the crusades. Today that equivalent means Muslims would have to kill off 34,000,000 ppl. Mao and Stalin killed more in several years than the Muslims did throughout their history.

I'm not for violence by anyone for any reason. And yes Christians have stacked up a huge death count as well. I don't associate myself with any religion because I think they're all ****ing crazy. But I live and let live as long as it doesn't affect me or anyone I care about. Islamic extremists will NOT live by the same philosophy.

You're not for violence by anyone for any reason yet you just said earlier today you'd drop nukes on the entire Middle East. Do you ordinarily contradict yourself or is this just a one time thing? The funny part is you say Islamic extremists won't live y the same philosophy and you want to nuke an entire area of land that has non-extremist Muslims, Christians, Jewish, and some extremist Muslims.

Do you blame video games for violent teenagers? Do you blame violent movies for violent crime? Do you blame obesity on pop tarts and ice cream?

The point is both religions have verses that are violent and/or taken out of context and both religions have been used to kill indiscriminately. You're putting the blame on a book when the blame is on ppl who do these acts. I'm not out to justify the innocent being killed at the hands of the Muslims but neither am I naive enough to think they're alone in that guilt. I'm also not naive enough to fall for the propaganda put before me by lying politicians and a news media that's simply an extension of the politicians. I'm Not out to say Christianity is bad. What I am out to say though is that your idea, and that of many others, of killing off all the Muslims bc of what some crazy ones do is beyond crazy.

I read a Bible that tells me to kill a rape victim, that tells me to kill anyone who doesn't believe in my God, that wiped out most life as we know it with a giant flood and guess what? I'm no murderer. Is that bc of the book/religion or me? Same goes for he Muslim, judge the man for his actions not for the book he reads.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself - FDR

[TheLupinator]

We should interview the 250mm Middle Easterners and see if they are the good Muslims or the bad Muslims... I'm sure they'll tell the truth.

 

[{'Calcul08'}]

Someone pointed out violent Muslims! ZOMG QUICK! BRING UP CHRISTIANS! THAT WILL SAVE THEM!

#EternalSIGH

If people only knew it was Muslim violence that forced the Europeans to sail around the world instead of going though their territory.. Then we wouldn't be so happy to embrace these extremist fellas. *looks down on Angela Merkel*

Anyone else noticed the pattern of wars being the greatest tool, commonly known as rushed diplomacy with a massive payout on a carefully made investment? It's easy, all the things you need for a multicultural brunch party are essentials like various politics mixed with different religions, add salt & pepper (plebs willing to die for a demented cause, but give them weapons - because you can only shout for so long), stir that pot until it's left on the stove for far too long until it blows the lid off the top, then have the rest of the global guest countries clean it up whilst sticking them with the bill for it.

 

[RISE]

The reason Christianity is brought up is bc the violence in both religions are quite parallel to each other, yet most don't realize it. Mainly bc in church you're only taught what the New Testament consists of, bc preaching the Old Testament would be pretty hard to sell. But that's what people don't understand, in Islam, Jesus is not the son of God. Therefor no one died for our sins and punishment is left up to god and to the people. If Jesus never died for our sins, Christianity would look a lot like what we are seeing from these Islam extremists. Aside from the suicide bombings.

 

[tunafisherman]

M&Ms are not human beings. They're a luxury not a life.

Do ppl who refuse to cooperate in murder investigations bc of fear of street retaliation deserve to die also or is it just the Muslims?

If I told you your unborn son had a 10% chance of joining Isis after he grew up and matured would you abort your unborn son?

If I told you your daughter had a 10% chance of being raped and she refused to testify against her attacker would you sentence her to death?

If I told you your son had a 10% chance to become a serial killer and/or rapist would you pull the switch to fry his ass in the electric chair?

Do people who refuse to comply in murder investigations get charged with accessory or obstruction?-- Yes

Would I abort--No, that's a different issue all together

Rape--Different issue all together as well

Son being a serial killer--If he actually was a serial killer or supported/assisted a serial killer I'd save the tax payers money and handle it myself.

I don't hate Muslims--I sponsored my interpreter (from afghan transition team) to come to the US under asylum and eventually get his visa. I worked with some great afghan police and army members. However, if I saw them actively or passively supporting the enemy this is how I handled it (generally, only happened twice):

I had the individual fired. We escorted the individual to a village not too friendly to the US, and I made sure that the locals saw me shake his hand and give him a big ol hug. Had a couple members on my team give him a High five. The villagers took care of him from there.

I have no sympathy for those that wish to do us harm, and actively or passively support those that do. That's why I said we need to kill those that support Daesh. Collateral damage happens, and if it solves the problem I am fine with it.

If we took all the violence and savagery out of all the religious literature, there wouldn't be enough paper left to make a pamphlet. A pamphlet.

Sheeple remain a staple even in modern society.

This is true, but pointing out things of that nature in religions most are not familiar with or practice is not the best way to show the hypocrisy. Which is why I have used Christianity in this case.

Of course, 100% agreed.

Speaking of practices, the world as we know it reminds me of revisiting Civ4, where I try to take immediate control of the religions by founding them and having holy cities,just so that I'll have outstanding relations with my neighbours.

 

[Shane1974]

ISIS/ISIL, the war in Syria, Parisian attacks, 9/11, etc., etc., etc. has absolutely NOTHING to do with religion. That's the media tricking you. It's all political.

 

[Uncle manny]

What's Christianity? what's Islam what's Judaism etc? There's so many denominations of religions and so many different sociopathic cults within religions. These Isis ****ers are sick they kill any one and even other Muslims. It's different then just a black and white religious thing. Media does play a big role in what we think and why we think.

 

[LeanHerm]

This arguing will never ever be solved, or agreed upon by the difference parties involved. Been going on for years and years. My advice is stop arguing and do something that really matters like volunteer somewhere that your time is valued. Sheesh.

Accessory and obstruction charges are not death. You said these ppl deserve to die.

Would I abort--No, that's a different issue all together

I'm not talking about abortion specifically just using it as an example to counter your 10% argument. Basically you're changing your tune when compared to what you said earlier.

Rape--Different issue all together as well

how so? The victim is fearful of retaliation from the attacker and keeps quiet. Innocent Muslims fear the dangerous ones and keep quiet..... Same principle

Son being a serial killer--If he actually was a serial killer or supported/assisted a serial killer I'd save the tax payers money and handle it myself.

now you're against true to what you said earlier!

The extremist Muslims use the same justification to suit their purpose. How are you any better than them?
