Still killing over a cartoon

Dude, the outbursts by radicals over the Danish cartoons were inappropriate back in 2005, and they're without a doubt inappropriate today.

But if you're going to try and base your arguments around that absolute joke of a website you can't hope to be taken seriously.

Maybe for your next post, maybe a tirade against Catholics you can use some Jack Chick tracts.

Threatening to kill people for making a cartoon is a bit more serious than "inappropriate", wouldn't you agree?

The web site does contain some legitimate info. I mentioned the vast numbers of violent acts committed in the name of Islam worldwide that are listed on that site. Is that valid or no? Your attack on me is on a completely different scale that those against the Dane but it exactly the same idea.

You suggest that I would attack Catholics. Are Catholics committing numerous acts of violence and oppression of people's worldwide? Are Buddhists? Is any other religious group? If the website were really so far off they would be attacking Obama and claiming he's really a Muslim, but they don't and, in fact, speak to the contrary.

He's a really fundamentalist Christian who makes cartoon tracts for "witnessing". Mostly it involves people of other religions like Catholicism and Islam doing bad things and then going to hell. It's kind of funny, in an I'm-embarassed-this-guy-shares-my-religion kind of way. I suggest you google "Chick Tracts".

Islam is a caustic blend of paganism and twisted Bible stories.

Like I said earlier, I more or less stopped taking that site seriously after reading this, the first sentence on the page.

With your vigorous defense of the site, I guess that means I can stop taking your seriously too.

Let me say again, that site claims that the Virginia Tech shooter was a reincarnation of Muhammad. It makes this claim, and then spends a substantial portion of time trying to justify it.

They're absolute whackos.

Whatever else you may have accomplished today Jensen you have convinced me that you read little, ignore honest questions and jump to conclusions alot. I offered no "vigorous" defense of the site. I simply pointed out a few facts and you can't handle it.

JensenS · 06-03-2008, 06:26 PM

I pointed out the incredibly biased (and factually inaccurate if you want to get right down to it) nature of the very first sentence on the website, you don't seem to be able to handle that.

All you've accomplished today is convincing me that you're not just biased, but also ignorant of history, and lacking of any desire whatsoever to explore things for yourself.

At least I'm not vindictive.

Jack Chick Tracts... sorry to hijack the arguing, but I find these funny and I bet some others will as well.
