CIA can be looked at in two ways. Central Intelligence Agency / Christians In Action. Lets look at right wing Black Water "christian based"? Can you see why people might hate Black Water in other countries? In other countries they don't call them Black Water they call them Americans.

Ok time to clarify for those whom maybe confused because I see a lot of mentioning about Christianity. The definition to claim yourself as a Christian is simple. You believe Jesus lived and died for you on the cross and risen from the grave. All the rest, the 10 commandments the old and new testaments are all worked into religion. And that particular views of the written word. That is why there are so many Christians and so many Christian based religions.
They are stories and nothing more in the bible, names are changed of the characters in the stories to better suit that generation. Like in the bible, Noah and the great flood. The oldest written tablet to be found predates the bible by centuries, it’s the table of Gilgamesh and on this stone tablet talks about the great flood. But use a different name than Noah.
Yes the bible is full of death and murders. Mainly in the Old Testament, but lets think about one thing and it can be found in many so called religion books. No matter the person or I should say characters name. Such as Jesus, that story taught us how to treat each other, and if you followed the 10 commandments this would be a world of peace, would it not?
So no matter what religious background you claim to be. Or what names you place to the stories written. Truth is told if every one in the world followed nothing more than the 10 laws of humanity, we all would finally have peace on earth.
But most peoples eyes have not been opened, to this simple truth, they have been brainwashed by those whom preach religion instead of simple love in order to get your money. I don’t care what name you call the god(s). After all a rose by any other name would it not smell as sweet?

Crikey.
Muslims are not uneducated hut dwellers. They are modern, intelligent, university degreed, wealthy, and following an ideology.

We're talking good Vs. evil.
we're talking democracy Vs. oppression. the acts of Israel were targeting this man who tried to blow up the plane. can't you see that these people do not deserve the chance to board a plane?
they teach and spew hatred. it makes me sad to think that scum like this exists, any action against these terrorists is welcome with open arms

This "Jesus" character showed us more than how to treat each other. He moved the laws outside the Jewish tribe. He showed us how to treat our enemies. Essentially disarming his followers. (I tend to think he was written into the series by the Romans to do just that.) It's no wonder that most Jews didn't sign on for this after their experiences with the Romans. That “Destruction of the Temple” thing right around the time the Gospels are considered to have been written confirmed their suspicions. Our enemies, like the Romans, might just show us the door from this life for our good intentions. At least that's what the Bible story more than implies.

Excuse me? Are you expecting me to supply you with hardcore evidence of something? Because... you are important and need to know?
Heh.
Sorry, the first responders are the ones who have the information you seek and they probably won't answer your questions but you can try.
Good Luck.
As for education in Islam and ideology... there are examples daily, like this one of what the mindset holds. You can probably find much open source material on that if you look.
Now, if you have nothing to add to the thread, excepts attacks against me, then please... move along. Thanks.

It was luck that the device failed after ignition, but people tell me to lighten up, when I say its time to take back our Country and send all these unwanted people back to where they belong. There will be a bloody battle on US soil and I fear that this battle is closer than we want to believe. Our government out of control spending a war without purpose and fought under the UN instead of the Geneva convention, Muslim’s wanting to enact Shariah Law, is the constant invasions of America ever going to stop?
We welcome all with open arms but if they cant assimilate to our ways of life than they need to get out. And that goes for everyone.
Bring our troops home and stiffen with deadly consequences our boarders. Close down all backdoor entries and come in the front door, or be killed simple as that.
Enough of this whole political correctness and lets start calling the kettle as it truly is.
