How is it divisive if its true?
They targeted them and before beheading them stated WHO they were and WHY they were being beheaded.......
again more rhetoric, its not divisive, its TRUTH
It's true because we're told its true? Who do you know in Lybia that was able to personally verify the deaths? Yeah, I thought not. Too often it's seems, the news is more interested in framing a narrative and less about being bothered with facts or investigating. It's all drama all the time.

I have been the most vocal person ON THIS FORUM for Obama to get a coalition to exterminate Isis
So what are you talking about?
That's not the point.
Do you ever read peoples posts or are you just listening to your own preconceived notions in your own head?

You are missing my point entirely. I'm not accusing you of intentionally injecting devicive comments, posts and/or threads. What I am saying is, regardless of the validity to which I can never truly verify, the story or headline is what's devicive and the careful framework of the story. Almost too "useful" of a storyline that supports the narrative the west wants to portray to their citizenry. It's just what I see. *shrugs*
Nobody seems to remember or care about the Islamic massacre in Rwanda that saw approx one million, 1,000,000! christians slaughtered in what surely has to be the worst ethnic cleansing since the Jewish holocaust.

Theres no need to get personal here.......
Im sorry if youre having a hard time following along, but it seems there are others who are understanding exactly what im saying.....
You seem to be a bit inconsistent in some of the things you are saying, so please dont blame me because the conversation seems to be a bit confused
We agree on a lot of points, I think theres perhaps some crossed lines of communication

But its not just the west that report these things, we all know that our media has done a fine job of portraying things that arent real......
However whats going on over in these regions is being reported world wide, not just on the news but from people in the areas that its happening in......
I agree that things can get convoluted and that many times stories are made to push an agenda.....
But sometimes, there are just horrible people in the world doing horrible things.....
No excuses for the KKK because i despise racism , but even the KKK arent carrying out attrocities of the magnitude that these Islamic Fundamentalist are.....

Anti-Balaka in Africa.
Definitely my last post this time.
Abrahamic religions (also Semitic religions) are monotheistic faiths of West Asian[1] origin, emphasizing and tracing their common origin to Abraham[2] or recognizing a spiritual tradition identified with him.[3][4][5] They comprise one of the major divisions in comparative religion, along with Indian[6] and East Asian religions.[6]
As of the early twenty-first century, it was estimated that 54% of the world's population (3.8 billion people) considered themselves adherents of the Abrahamic religions, about 30% of other religions, and 16% of no organized religion.[7][8]
The largest Abrahamic religions in chronological order of founding are Judaism (1st millennium BCE), Christianity (1st century CE), and Islam (7th century CE); the Bahá'í Faith (19th century CE) is sometimes listed as well.[9] Abrahamic religions with fewer adherents include:
From a Biblical perspective, it was Enki who (with the critical assistance of his half-sister, Ninki, aka Nin-khursag) created Adam and Eve. It was Enlil, on the other hand, who created “Edin”. Enki was the serpent in the garden, who urged Adam and Eve to eat of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil (which was infinitely beneficial to their spiritual growth). It was Enlil, who drove them out of Edin, while Enki was there to clothe them. It is worth noting that Zecharia Sitchin [2] claims that the biblical word for “snake” is nahash, which comes from the root word NHSH, and which means “to decipher, to find out.” In other words, Enki, the God of Wisdom.
In the time of Noah, it was Enlil who either created the Great Deluge/Flood as a means of wiping out mankind (because they supposedly made too much noise), or else refused to warn the humans or do anything to save them or help them to save themselves. Enki, on the other hand, apparently against orders of the Anunnaki (who Enlil now controlled), provided the boat plans for Noah to build his Ark, and thus save him, his family (and likely a fair number of helpful artisans and their families). Enki included as well the seed of other living things (a “natural” kind of thing to do).
In the Sumerian texts, we have the stories of Enki and Enlil, and for the most part there is portions devoted to each. But in Genesis, Enlil seemingly reigns supreme. Enlil knew early on, that a pound of good Public Relations effort is worth a ton of truth.
Abraham and his descendants served Enlil, and followed his precepts. The Egyptians, on the other hand, were Enki’s protégés, and based on food management practices during the devastating droughts around the time of Jacob and Joseph, were doing a lot better than Enlil’s followers.
Isis (/ˈaɪsɪs/; Ancient Greek: Ἶσις; original Egyptian pronunciation more likely "Aset" or "Iset"[1]) is a goddess from the polytheistic pantheon of Egypt. She was first worshiped in Ancient Egyptian religion, and later her worship spread throughout the Roman empire and the greater Greco-Roman world. Isis is still widely worshiped by many pagans today in diverse religious contexts; including a number of distinct pagan religions, the modern Goddess movement, and interfaith organizations such as the Fellowship of Isis.
Isis was worshipped as the ideal mother and wife as well as the patroness of nature and magic. She was the friend of slaves, sinners, artisans and the downtrodden, but she also listened to the prayers of the wealthy, maidens, aristocrats and rulers.[2] Isis is often depicted as the mother of Horus, the falcon-headed deity associated with king and kingship (although in some traditions Horus's mother was Hathor). Isis is also known as protector of the dead and goddess of children.
The name Isis means "Throne".[3] Her headdress is a throne. As the personification of the throne, she was an important representation of the pharaoh's power. The pharaoh was depicted as her child, who sat on the throne she provided.
In the typical form of her myth, Isis was the first daughter of Geb, god of the Earth, and Nut, goddess of the Sky, and she was born on the fourth intercalary day. She married her brother, Osiris, and she conceived Horus with him. Isis was instrumental in the resurrection of Osiris when he was murdered by Set. Using her magical skills, she restored his body to life after having gathered the body parts that had been strewn about the earth by Set.[4]
Osiris (/oʊˈsaɪərɨs/, or Usir; also Ausar), was an Egyptian god, usually identified as the god of the afterlife, the underworld and the dead. He was classically depicted as a green-skinned man with a pharaoh's beard, partially mummy-wrapped at the legs, wearing a distinctive crown with two large ostrich feathers at either side, and holding a symbolic crook and flail.
Osiris was at times considered the oldest son of the earth god Geb,[1] and the sky goddess Nut, as well as being brother and husband of Isis, with Horus being considered his posthumously begotten son.[1] He was also associated with the epithet Khenti-Amentiu, which means "Foremost of the Westerners" — a reference to his kingship in the land of the dead.[2] As ruler of the dead, Osiris was also sometimes called "king of the living", since the Ancient Egyptians considered the blessed dead "the living ones".
…put their own house in order rather than be content to sit back and let the west take care of it for them.

Not to continue the "Christian bashing"...
I'd rather not to be honest.
But are you sure you don't remember George W telling the World that God told him to invade the Middle East.
& he called it a Crusade!
As far as I know he doesn't worship Baal or Moloch or Satan...
Well maybe Satan but he claims to be a Christian so I can only assume it was the "Christian" God advising him...

... When was this?
If you're talking about the Rwandan Genocide around 1994 that was done by Hutus...
The Hutus faith is Christianity...
They were killing the moderate Christians.
Like ISIS are doing to moderate Muslims.
Unless you're talking about another Rwandan genocide with 1,000,000 deaths...
One that I've never heard of.
