Hadn't thought of those who can not see the video. Sorry.
Basically. Polictal leaders are to make decision for the country they represent for the people of that country. The leaders job is not to tell us what a religion is OR to defend it. They are there to be theologians.
They are not there to "end the debate" by their comments and expect us to repect or do as they say.
Obama saying Islam is a religion of peace is NOT for him to decide.
AND< why can't you watch videos, may I ask?

So what does this say about an overwhelmingly Christian country lying to start a war in the Middle East and killing thousands of innocent civilians along the way? What does it say about a military that is 70% Christian fighting these wars based on lies? Does that say the same thing about Christianity as you say ISIS does for Islam? If not, that's called hypocrisy.

I am sure most of you are as amazed, as well as confused, by how Obama (biggest example) and others-such as the Mayor of Philly are quick to get their faces in front of a news camera and state--- "Nothing to do w/ Islam" or "Islam is a religion of Peace" and whatever B.S spills from their mouths.
Well I started to seek info, hoping to find something that would make me understand better, the craziness over taking the western world. The video link will take you to a former muslim and his thoughts about the western leaders and their comments. Please, watch it all and listen to what he is saying. If you can dispute it, go ahead and make your argument.
Otherwise....... the west is doomed. (I couldn't get the Youtube link to work-sorry).

Thank you.

a reply to: mamabeth what politician trash talks about Christian? None. Donald trump wants a database of Muslims and to stop them coming to America. Save the Christian persecution complex. Itlooks a bit silly in the current light of day.

Except for the fact in almost every Islamic dominated country on earth they treat women as property, stone them for adultery if they get raped burn witches, kill blasphemers , kill homosexuals.... Etc....
But yes, besides all of that stuff, and the fact none of it happens in single Christian dominated country on earth..... They are the same.

Google it. He actually said it, it's a well known fact. I thought people were aware of this already?
At the briefing, a reporter asked if McClellan was aware of the comments ascribed to President Bush and McClellan replied, "No, that's absurd. He's never made such comments." Pushed further about the statements, McClellan responded, "No, I checked into that [BBC] report and I stand by what I just said."

Islam IS a religion of peace for the most part, it wasn't until ISIS started committing genocide in its name that it became perceived as a religion of violence.

Excuse me, it wasn't until the false flag of 9/11 that Islam was considered a religion of violence. Did some people think it was violent before 9/11? Sure, but not nearly to the extent we see today. People have drank the kool-aid.

The reason we don't see things like rampant religiously inspired murder of homosexuals in this country isn't because there aren't Christians who don't fully support it but rather because we have a secular government and secular laws. Don't for a moment believe there aren't millions of Christians out there who support things like stoning various people to death. In recent months, evangelist Kevin Swanson has been getting more media attention than normal because he threw a Christian bigotry fest attended by 3 GOP presidential candidates in November. Kevin Swanson is well known for advocating the death penalty for homosexuals and he even reiterated his position at the aforementioned convention:
“There are instances in which both the Old and New Testament speak to the matter with unbelievable clarity. You know what that sin is – it’s the sin of homosexuality. In fact in Romans 1 Paul affirms that this particular sin is worthy of death. The Old and New Testament, I believe both speak with authority and we outta receive it.”
Here's the video:
This is at an event attended by Ted Cruz (and his crazy father), Mike Huckabee and Bobby Jindal. Not exactly fringe is it?
Have you ever heard of Uganda? As of the 2002 census, they were 85% Christian. In Uganda the minimum penalty for homosexuality is 2 years and the maximum penalty is life imprisonment. They've also had repeated efforts to pass legislation upping the punishment to include the death penalty — legislation publicly supported by Kevin Swanson and other American Christian clergy members. How about PNG? 96% of the citizens of Papua New Guinea identify as Christian and they torture and burn witches there.
I've already proven you wrong but if necessary, I can go on.
What makes countries in the West better isn't Christianity. It's the rule of secular law and the result of progressive civil rights movements (often directly opposed by "Christian" organizations). Can I assume with your concern for the rights of blaspheming atheists like me and for witches, women and homosexuals, you'll not be voting for Ted Cruz or Donald Trump?
