I am very pro-choice, but I have never had an abortion. I made that choice and it was right for me.
I find it interesting though that because we are speaking of Christian Terrorists that there are is no anger coming from the masses. Does that mean that it is okay to terrorize someone as long as you are Christian?

How many political assassinations have these Christian 'terrorists' carried out? There are nutjobs all over the net full of bravado and unfulfilled threat; free-speech- at least in the US allows it.
There are murders committed daily in the name of Islam; how many in the name of Christianity? Comparing the two is apples to oranges.

now but they will not shy away from calling Christian Americans Terrorist if they do not support the government sanctioned mass murder of babies.
Govt. Sanctioned?
Do you even know what that means?

Glad to hear that terrorism is ALSO used for christian extremists.
Killing in the name of God is the worst thing ever because you kill for someone who NEVER EXISTED. God is an invention , a farce, created by the biggest hoax-makers of mankind.
Following the "meanings" of a book written by a dozen illuminates 2 millenaries ago is the worst excuse for killing someone. Christians and Muslims should be ashamed of using fear and death as a weapon of mass conversion.
now deconstruct my post whichever way you want, I said what I had to.
Cheers.

Government Sanctioned Murder
Imagine you are 20 years old, 8-1/2 months pregnant with your first child. Your new husband is away on business and you are staying with your in-laws. Suddenly a group of armed police break down the door, abduct you, take you to a clinic, hold you down, rip your clothes from your body, drive a huge needle into your belly killing your unborn child then they rip the dead infant from your body with forceps, leaving you sterile.
Horrific? Barbaric? In China, that is NORMAL!

Wow, this is what it all boils down to. The Murrah Building bombing was supposed to give them an excuse to go after the Christian homegrown militias that didn't exist, now you all want to buy into this nonsense. I doubt that anybody, Muslim, Christian or Budhist would jump up at this point and claim to be a terrorist with us surrounded by salivating DHS and ready and waiting Fema camps with gas chambers. You want to be part of the "misinformation" that the "christians" are the "new enemy" go for it.
I find it interesting though that because we are speaking of Christian Terrorists that there are is no anger coming from the masses. Does that mean that it is okay to terrorize someone as long as you are Christian?
"The Tuqyah [practice of deception, lying or concealment for expediency]
is allowed until the Day of Resurrection.'' Allah said,
[وَيُحَذِّرُكُمُ اللَّهُ نَفْسَهُ]
The Prohibition of Supporting the Disbelievers
Allah prohibited His believing servants from becoming supporters of the disbelievers, or to take them as comrades with whom they develop friendships, rather than the believers. Allah warned against such behavior when He said,
[وَمَن يَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ فَلَيْسَ مِنَ اللَّهِ فِي شَىْءٍ]
(And whoever does that, will never be helped by Allah in any way) meaning, whoever commits this act that Allah has prohibited, then Allah will discard him. Similarly, Allah said,
[يأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لاَ تَتَّخِذُواْ عَدُوِّى وَعَدُوَّكُمْ أَوْلِيَآءَ تُلْقُونَ إِلَيْهِمْ بِالْمَوَدَّةِ]
(O you who believe! Take not My enemies and your enemies as friends, showing affection towards them), until,
[وَمَن يَفْعَلْهُ مِنكُمْ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ سَوَآءَ السَّبِيلِ]
Allah said next,
[إِلاَ أَن تَتَّقُواْ مِنْهُمْ تُقَـةً]
(unless you indeed fear a danger from them) meaning, except those believers who in some areas or times fear for their safety from the disbelievers. In this case, such believers are allowed to show friendship to the disbelievers outwardly, but never inwardly. For instance, Al-Bukhari recorded that Abu Ad-Darda' said, "We smile in the face of some people although our hearts curse them.'' Al-Bukhari said that Al-Hasan said, "The Tuqyah is allowed until the Day of Resurrection.'' Allah said,
[وَيُحَذِّرُكُمُ اللَّهُ نَفْسَهُ]
(And Allah warns you against Himself.) meaning, He warns you against His anger and the severe torment He prepared for those who give their support to His enemies, and those who have enmity with His friends,
[وَإِلَى اللَّهِ الْمَصِيرُ]
Allah encourages the believers to show enmity to the idolators and to dissociate from them, affirming that they do not deserve to enjoy a covenant of peace, because of their Shirk in Allah and disbelief in Allah's Messenger .
If these disbelievers have a chance to defeat Muslims, they will cause great mischief, leave nothing unharmed, disregard the ties of kinship and the sanctity of their vows. `Ali bin Abi Talhah, `Ikrimah and Al-`Awfi narrated that Ibn `Abbas said, "Ill means kinship, while, Dhimmah means covenant.'' Ad-Dahhak and As-Suddi said similarly.
[اشْتَرَوْاْ بِـَايَـتِ اللَّهِ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلاً فَصَدُّواْ عَن سَبِيلِهِ إِنَّهُمْ سَآءَ مَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ - لاَ يَرْقُبُونَ فِى مُؤْمِنٍ إِلاًّ وَلاَ ذِمَّةً وَأُوْلَـئِكَ هُمُ الْمُعْتَدُونَ - فَإِن تَابُواْ وَأَقَامُواْ الصَّلَوةَ وَءاتَوُاْ الزَّكَوةَ فَإِخْوَانُكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَنُفَصِّلُ الاٌّيَـتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ ]
Allah says, if the idolators with whom you conducted peace treaties for an appointed term break
[أَيْمَـنِهِمْ]
(their oaths) meaning, terms of their treaties, and covenants
[وَطَعَنُواْ فِى دِينِكُمْ]
(and attack your religion...) with disapproval and criticism, it is because of this that one who curses the Messenger, peace be upon him, or attacks the religion of Islam by way of criticism and disapproval, they are to be fought. This is why Allah said afterwards,
[فَقَـتِلُواْ أَئِمَّةَ الْكُفْرِ إِنَّهُمْ لاَ أَيْمَـنَ لَهُمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَنتَهُونَ]
Therefore, strike the swords upon the parts that contain the devil, for by Allah, it is better to me to kill one of these people than to kill seventy other men. This is because Allah said,
[فَقَـتِلُواْ أَئِمَّةَ الْكُفْرِ]
(then fight (you) against the leaders of disbelief.)''
[أَلاَ تُقَـتِلُونَ قَوْماً نَّكَثُواْ أَيْمَـنَهُمْ وَهَمُّواْ بِإِخْرَاجِ الرَّسُولِ وَهُم بَدَءُوكُمْ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ أَتَخْشَوْنَهُمْ فَاللَّهُ أَحَقُّ أَن تَخْشَوْهُ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤُمِنِينَ - قَـتِلُوهُمْ يُعَذِّبْهُمُ اللَّهُ بِأَيْدِيكُمْ وَيُخْزِهِمْ وَيَنْصُرْكُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَيَشْفِ صُدُورَ قَوْمٍ مُّؤْمِنِينَ - وَيُذْهِبْ غَيْظَ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَيَتُوبُ اللَّهُ عَلَى مَن يَشَآءُ وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ ]
(See www.tafsir.com...)
What this essentially means is that Muslims living in the West can pursue a course of peace with their unbelieving neighbors since the latter clearly outnumber the former. Yet when the Muslims muster enough power and wealth to overcome the "infidels" they will be forced to abandon peace and seek to conquer the disbelievers instead.
In particular, this Islamic teaching destroys any basis for trust in peace treaties made by Muslims. They are never thought to be lasting but only until such time as the Muslims feel strong enough that it is to their advantage to break the peace and attack the unbelievers again. For this reason Islam does not know genuine peace treaties with non-Muslims, i.e. peace treaties that end war once and for all, but only temporary truces that can be dissolved at any time. Is it any wonder that Muhammad is quoted as saying that war is deceit!
the Quran permits Muslims to accept a peace treaty from the unbelievers whom they are fighting:
But if they incline to peace, you also incline to it, and (put your) trust in God. Verily, He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower. S. 8:61 Hilali-Khan
So be not weak and ask not for peace (from the enemies of Islâm), while you are having the upper hand. God is with you, and will never decrease the reward of your good deeds. S. 47:35 Hilali-Khan
Muslims are commanded not to seek peace with the unbelievers, provided that they are the more dominant party! As the tafsir of Ibn Abbas states:
(So do not falter) do not weaken, O believer, upon fighting the disbelievers (and cry out for peace) and it is said this means: for Islam before fighting (when you (will be) the uppermost) when you are the victorious and the ultimate consequence will be in your favour, (and Allah is with you) He helps you to defeat your enemy, (and He will not grudge (the reward of) your actions) and He will not diminish the works in which you engage during Jihad. (Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs; online source; bold and underline emphasis ours)

If you choose to believe that he is "all powerful", then the existence of "disease, accidents," child abusers..etc. means he is not all good.
