So imagine you're at work one day, just like any other day, and an Islamic madman enters your workplace and, out of the blue, begins stabbing you... And then slices your head off.
Simpson and the floggers -- good little multicultural leftists that they are -- may want to accommodate the religion that compells people to do that.
I do not.
"The left, you see, secretly admire people like Jah’Keem Yisrael. They admire them for having the courage to do what they will not do, namely, get their hands dirty ... or bloody, as the case may be. The left and these Islamic murderers are in a symbiotic relationship and they both know it. Both depend on the other to weaken traditional American strength -- the left at home and the jihadis overseas. Papering over a few beheadings is a small price to pay to keep that alliance together, especially since this happened in Oklahoma, I mean, it's not like Colleen Hufford was a celebrity or a real person or anything. If they'd beheaded Barbra Streisand well, then, there would have been some handwringing to do. No, they will let this domestic cancer grow because if Americans wake up to the reality that the media is, in fact, in the news suppression business, well then, they may start to wonder what other stories have been suppressed. No, they're going to let this cancer grow unreported until the Statue of Liberty and anyone who is with her go into the flames." ~Bill Whittle
The Fort Hood jihadist terrorist used a gun and really racked up the number of victims. The Oklahoma jihadist terrorist used a knife and beheading -- only two victims, and one survived -- but he ratcheted up the terrorist meter, bigtime.
This evil cannot be accommodated. It has to be opposed, stood up to, and defeated. Utterly.
So what about all those people who have murdered others in the name of Christianity?
ReplyDeleteWhere in the Quran does it say what you claim?
Does the Bible allow for such violence?
Please answer these questions Ms. Chastain.
Thank you
Mr. Anonymous, I will answer this comment but you will have to identify yourself to get your other comment answered.
Delete(1) What "all those people who have murdered others in the name of Christianity" are you speaking of? I would have to know who you are talking about. However, I will say that whoever murders -- in the name of Christianity or for any other reason -- is violating Christianity, not advancing it. Islamics who commit violence for the spread of their "religion" are not violating their "religion" -- they are obeying it.
I haven't made any claims about the Quran.
However, if you're really interested, watch this:

...and check here:
Where does the Koran command conquest
The parts of the Bible written for the ancient Hebrews commanded war and defense, but not to "spread" Judaism. Only to protect the children of Israel. (They were surrounded by hostile nations then, just like they are today.)
The parts of the Bible written for Christians forbid murder and violence. As I have already noted, Christians who commit such violence (unlike Islamics) are violating their religion, not obeying or promoting it. Christians can defend themselves, and being in the military is not forbidden. However, Christianity is not to be spread by the sword. (As a Christian, if I were of military age, I would be very uncomfortable in today's US military, which seems less and less defensive and more aggressive.)
There are your answers Mr. Anonymous. Ball's in your court.
I don't think you know your Bible well
DeleteThese quotes and many others have been used by christian serial killers in order to justify their crimes. This is in direct contradiction of christian claims that christianity is a religion of “peace” and “love”.
•Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death. Such evil must be purged from Israel. (Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT)
•A priest's daughter who loses her honor by committing fornication and thereby dishonors her father also, shall be burned to death. (Leviticus 21:9 NAB)
•They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. (2 Chronicles 15:12-13 NAB)
•If your own full brother, or your son or daughter, or your beloved wife, or you intimate friend, entices you secretly to serve other gods, whom you and your fathers have not known, gods of any other nations, near at hand or far away, from one end of the earth to the other: do not yield to him or listen to him, nor look with pity upon him, to spare or shield him, but kill him. Your hand shall be the first raised to slay him; the rest of the people shall join in with you. (Deuteronomy 13:7-12 NAB)
•Make ready to slaughter his sons for the guilt of their fathers; Lest they rise and posses the earth, and fill the breadth of the world with tyrants. (Isaiah 14:21 NAB)
•"Then I heard the LORD say to the other men, "Follow him through the city and kill everyone whose forehead is not marked. Show no mercy; have no pity! Kill them all – old and young, girls and women and little children. (Ezekiel 9:5-7 NLT)
•jesus said, But as for these enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and slaughter them in my presence. (Luke 19:27 NRS)
Mr. Lyons, I do not like discussing Christian doctrine on the Internet -- it is not a good format or venue for it. However, I will give a minimal response to your comment.
DeleteYes, I know the Bible. I know the difference between the Old and New Testaments, which you apparently do not know.
The scriptures you referenced except one are from the Old Testament. The laws recorded in the Old Testament were for the ancient Israelites, not Christians. The New Testament says that the "Old Law" (the Law of Moses, etc.) was fulfilled when Christ was executed and resurrected, and thus no longer applies. This is confirmed by Colossians 2:14 -- "He (Christ) has destroyed what was against us, a certificate of indebtedness expressed in decrees opposed to us (i.e., the Old Law). He has taken it away by nailing it to the cross."
The only New Testament scripture you referenced was a parable, not a command. You will find no commands to murder in the New Testament. Anyone who murders in the name of Jesus or Christianity is violating Christianity, not obeying it.
Christian serial killers? The article you linked to is interesting, but a single paragraph about each subject simply isn't enough. For example, the first one, Pedro Lopez. There's nothing in the entries about him at Wikipedia, Crime.about.com, CrimeLibrary, or Biography.com that says he killed in the name of God, or that he was a Christian serial killer. Most serial killers are mental cases -- sick, psychotic, pathological, sociopathic...
Neither Hitler nor Stalin killed in the name of God or Christ, or for the purpose of advancing Christianity.
"No, I haven't argued thus. I don't know of any flaggers wanted for kidnapping."
ReplyDeleteoh you know, the little girl you talked about who flagged with her mom before they both disappeared. Lilly Baumann and her mom Megan. They deserve compassion and justice.
"Playing" dumb about Megan Everett undermines your comments about ethics, credibility, priorities, love, respect, justice, etc.
(and I know you've been capslocking it and all, and really digging the Muslim angle, but somehow your beheading stuff so far doesn't carry quite the same sense of real concern for victims you bring to the Amazon review updates. Lots of Muslims are really nice.)
This was not me - anonymous but someone else
DeleteI understand, from what I've read, that the child's name is Lilly Everett. Baby daddies who don't marry the baby mamas don't get to give the kid their name.
DeleteI still don't know of any Flaggers wanted for kidnapping. The child's mother was the girlfriend of a Flagger, but as far as I know, he's not wanted for kidnapping, and he hasn't disappeared.
I'm not playing dumb about Megan Everett. I'm rejecting the false claims of those who hate the VaFlaggers, which undermines nothing.
It's not my "beheading stuff"... and your comment is breathtakingly callous toward the victim, Ms. Hufford, and her loved ones.
Nice Muslims in the USA are either (a) not nice but constrained by our laws or (b) in the same danger from jihadists that everyone else is. Watch the video I linked to above. You'll see that the largest number of victims of Muslim violence are ... Muslims.
Bravo, Mrs. Connie!
