ORIGINAL: jlf1961 Bounty and bosco are merely, in a round about way, restating the famous phrase: Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius Arnaud Amalric 1209 CE Another straw man, no one has ever said anything like that You are an ignorant, wild-eyed freak Really? And this is coming from one of the "All Muslims want to kill Americans" bunch? Of course, none of you have adequately explained how she managed to mistake arrests for massacre or even get the two terms confused. And to be true to facts. The two men were not convicted of being terrorists, but of giving financial aid to terrorist organizations, again a slight difference. The simple fact is, regardless of what agency of the government posts the information or even whether it is a Republican administration, Democrat administration, you and those of your ilk refuse to believe anything that does not originate on FOX news, or some extreme right wing sponsored web page. If a republican makes a statement that can be proved false with a minimum of effort they have 'misspoke.' If it is a democrat, they lied, and if they try to correct their mistake, 'its a cover up.' You demand that the left give the right the benefit of the doubt, and yet you refuse to do the same. It is like the 'all gun owners do not go out and commit mass murder' argument against gun control. But when someone on the left makes the claim, 'not all Muslims are terrorists' they are attacked, insulted and basically blown off. The hypocrisy that many on these boards left and right brings a whole new meaning to the word. You even deny statements made by Republicans: "Here in the United States our Muslim citizens are making many contributions in business, science and law, medicine and education, and in other fields. Muslim members of our Armed Forces and of my administration are serving their fellow Americans with distinction, upholding our nation's ideals of liberty and justice in a world at peace." "America treasures the relationship we have with our many Muslim friends, and we respect the vibrant faith of Islam which inspires countless individuals to lead lives of honesty, integrity, and morality. This year, may Eid also be a time in which we recognize the values of progress, pluralism, and acceptance that bind us together as a Nation and a global community. By working together to advance mutual understanding, we point the way to a brighter future for all." "Islam brings hope and comfort to millions of people in my country, and to more than a billion people worldwide. Ramadan is also an occasion to remember that Islam gave birth to a rich civilization of learning that has benefited mankind." "Some of the comments that have been uttered about Islam do not reflect the sentiments of my government or the sentiments of most Americans. Islam, as practiced by the vast majority of people, is a peaceful religion, a religion that respects others. Ours is a country based upon tolerance and we welcome people of all faiths in America." "We see in Islam a religion that traces its origins back to God's call on Abraham. We share your belief in God's justice, and your insistence on man's moral responsibility. We thank the many Muslim nations who stand with us against terror. Nations that are often victims of terror, themselves." "All Americans must recognize that the face of terror is not the true faith -- face of Islam. Islam is a faith that brings comfort to a billion people around the world. It's a faith that has made brothers and sisters of every race. It's a faith based upon love, not hate." "America rejects bigotry. We reject every act of hatred against people of Arab background or Muslim faith America values and welcomes peaceful people of all faiths -- Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, Hindu and many others. Every faith is practiced and protected here, because we are one country. Every immigrant can be fully and equally American because we're one country. Race and color should not divide us, because America is one country." "The Islam that we know is a faith devoted to the worship of one God, as revealed through The Holy Qur'an. It teaches the value and the importance of charity, mercy, and peace." "This new enemy seeks to destroy our freedom and impose its views. We value life; the terrorists ruthlessly destroy it. We value education; the terrorists do not believe women should be educated or should have health care, or should leave their homes. We value the right to speak our minds; for the terrorists, free expression can be grounds for execution. We respect people of all faiths and welcome the free practice of religion; our enemy wants to dictate how to think and how to worship even to their fellow Muslims." "Americans understand we fight not a religion; ours is not a campaign against the Muslim faith. Ours is a campaign against evil." All of those quotes were spoken by one man. And you and a large majority of Americans elected him as president. And he clearly does not now, nor ever, share your fucked up opinion. For that matter, no Republican president ever has.
