Obama; The New "McGovern"?

[Popeye]

oh yeah, getting Oprah to represent him as a black man wasn't too much misinformation to the average American, ha.

Oprah's a private citizen, she can endorse who she wants. She's hardly the first celebrity to support a presidential candidate.

I could care less what color he is, but I do care that he is related by closer degrees than other candidates to an enemy of the US which is Islam.

So he went to a Muslim school as a child. That doesn't make him a member of Al Qaeda. You're making it sound like he has some kind of secret agenda. Give me a break, you're demonstrating both fear and paranoia again.

fear and paranoia. yeah... good diagnosis. whatever. you can stop that name calling nonsense anytime now.

do you know what a madrassass is? it's not the same as other general educational schools, it is a religious school for boys.
and yes, there is a Muslim brotherhood that is created at birth that does not disappear. so if we were to have a president who was sympathetic to Islamic and AQ theology (one in the same) then it is an issue.
and so much of an issue that is is going on the defense about it.
why would he be defensive about such an innocent thing?

Well, you have successfully shown your ignorance on the subject by saying that Islamic theology is one and the same to AQ's theology. This error alone means that your argument is completley incorrect and based on a foundation of lies, and there is little debating to be done in such a situation.

AQ is an Islamic organization. their theology is Islamic. same as the Muslim Brotherhood and other Quranic followers.
this is a simple fact that most people don't understand.

So, Catholic theology is identical to Protestant theology, simply because they are both followers of Juedo-Christianity?

Christianity is not the same as Islam.
the main reason is because 57 OIC countries are run by religious law, and it's quite primitive. so daily life in Islam is dominated by strict rules of prayer, dress, governence of personal spending, fraternal oversight, and most of every move a person makes in a day. so the relationship to Allah is clearly defined and enforced by the governments of Islam.
theology is an organized body, in Islam that is the civil government.

but the importance of understanding that AQ, the Muslim Brotherhood and 57 OIC countries share the same theology is that in the event of a confrontation (911) then the entire organized body (of Islam) shares the same procedure, views, brotherhood in Islam.

if you can get past that understanding then you can see clearly the organization of an effort against the West that is growing in numbers (500,000 in Gaza City yesterday, 10000 acts of Islamic terrorism post 911, plenty more examples daily) and understand the threat against us.
this body is very big. this body is condensed into a tight organization moreso than the theology of Juedo-Christian (if you must). looking at that from a military, security, defensive point of view will give you insight to what the planners in our government are faced with.

now, if you are still with me, do the math.
1/3 West (Christian... but not really, likes to party)
1/3 China (population and growing military, more interested in ecomonic growth and colonizing Mars)
1/3 Islam (organizing the Caliphate with a specific plan for global domination by 2020)

anyway, when the argument of Islam vs Christianity boils down to Quranic and Biblical verse comparison it really doesn't consider the big picture of how theology applies to the headlines. it takes some connection of the dots to put things into perspective.

one more thing, the headlines in Arab news is quite the contrary to the headlines in the US media. that's a whole other thread. but for instance when the VT shooter was reported in Al Jazeera in English it was cut and dry, so many Americans died. when reported in Al Jazeera Arabic it was: so many "Americans died, praise Allah". that's theology for ya.

This is irrelevant. They do not neccessarily share the identical theology of AQ because of this.

This is not true. Islam would wage war on the West after an event of confrontation. Moderate Muslims do not share the same theology, and denounce things like 9/11 as acts of terror.

if you can get past that understanding then you can see clearly the organization of an effort against the West that is growing in numbers (500,000 in Gaza City yesterday, 10000 acts of Islamic terrorism post 911, plenty more examples daily) and understand the threat against us.

No, if you can get past understand that you have swallowed down all the US right wing propaganda about Islam and that every Muslim is out to blow up your family because they all follow AQ then you might be able to see the truth in this discussion.
I have Muslim friends who find terrorism despicable, and they certainly subscribe to a theology very different from AQ.

Do all Christians deserve to be grouped with Phelps, purely because they can very loosley by thrown under the same category of believers?

now, if you are still with me, do the math.

This is your irrational swallowing of propaganda and the fear that has followed being clearly flagged up. You are making a fool of yourself. This forum is bound to make you feel unsafe. Why don't you go back to watching your right wing TV stations like FOX News?

anyway, when the argument of Islam vs Christianity boils down to Quranic and Biblical verse comparison it really doesn't consider the big picture of how theology applies to the headlines. it takes some connection of the dots to put things into perspective.

Yes, you are connecting the dots that the right wing Islamophobics are telling you to fill in. Some Muslims bomb people... (some dots).... .... ALL MUSLIMS ARE GOING TO KILL ME!

Is that a literal translation... or you talking straight out your arse? I'm pretty sure its the latter. Show me a source for that.

You are the classical example of an uninformed, irrational person convinced by a bunch of other haters that Muslims are all out to kill you.

wow.
whatever.
I don't listen to or support the right wing.
and no one said "all muslims are going to kill me", except you.
I see from you the same tired old argument of those who don't understand Islamic theology and compare it to Christianity and Western thinking. and name calling when you can't accept another point of view.
have a nice day.

You do seem to have a "all muslims are going to kill me" mind set.

you don't even know me.
because I don't think that at all.

now the theology of Islam is that non-muslims shouldn't exist. but that's Islamic theology, not mine. so maybe you are trying to say that muslims have the mindset of killing non-muslims... and that would be correct.
this is preached in madrassass and mosques all over the world.

 

[9sublime]

No, its the theology of some Muslims, not all Muslims, that non-Muslims shouldn't exist. Some Muslims believe what they believe, and have no interest converting me to their faith or killing me.

no, that isn't really true. because that is the job of every muslim according to Islam.
theology is an organized foundation, Islamic foundation believes certain principles, and one of them is that those who are non-muslims are not equal, they are lesser, dhimmis. there is no religious pluralism in Islam.

now if you are talking about individuals that's a different topic.
but ask your muslim friends if you are considered equal by not being a muslim according to the Quran and Mohammed.

Almost the exact same thing could be said about fundamentalist Christians and their interpretation of the Bible.

"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. You shall stone him to death, because he sought to lead you astray from the Lord, your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that place of slavery. And all Israel, hearing of this, shall fear and never do such evil as this in your midst." (Deuteronomy 13:7-12 NAB)

If a man still prophesies, his parents, father and mother, shall say to him, "You shall not live, because you have spoken a lie in the name of the Lord." When he prophesies, his parents, father and mother, shall thrust him through. (Zechariah 13:3 NAB)

You must destroy all the nations the LORD your God hands over to you. Show them no mercy and do not worship their gods. If you do, they will trap you. Perhaps you will think to yourselves, 'How can we ever conquer these nations that are so much more powerful than we are?' But don't be afraid of them! Just remember what the LORD your God did to Pharaoh and to all the land of Egypt. Remember the great terrors the LORD your God sent against them. You saw it all with your own eyes! And remember the miraculous signs and wonders, and the amazing power he used when he brought you out of Egypt. The LORD your God will use this same power against the people you fear. And then the LORD your God will send hornets to drive out the few survivors still hiding from you! "No, do not be afraid of those nations, for the LORD your God is among you, and he is a great and awesome God. The LORD your God will drive those nations out ahead of you little by little. You will not clear them away all at once, for if you did, the wild animals would multiply too quickly for you. But the LORD your God will hand them over to you. He will throw them into complete confusion until they are destroyed. He will put their kings in your power, and you will erase their names from the face of the earth. No one will be able to stand against you, and you will destroy them all. (Deuteronomy 7:16-24 NLT)

Do you believe that Christians follow that purely because its in their scripture? By the same logic, you should believe this to be an integral part of Christian theology. But wait, its not. Because religion is open to interpretation, and various organizations in Islam interpret Islam differently. Stop being so close minded, fear mongering and irrational.
