The Muslim Hijacking of Ground Zero
Stonewall:
--- Quote from: "Antigen" ---I still maintain that it's theocracy, not the brand of religion, that's dangerous. Anne cites the abortion clinic bombers as a pretty good recent example of dangerous x-tians. None-ya shows some clips of militant x-tian brainwashing.
Conversely, a long while back, GregFl showed some clips of Islamic Madrasah in the context of how similar they are to a day in Group.
The primary difference between a fundamentalist radical who bombs abortion clinics and fundamentalist radicals who blow themselves up in a holy war is that the x-tian fundamentalists, for the time being anyway, generally are indicted, tried and convicted of their crimes. That's because, so far, we haven't let them completely take over government again.

I think it is the brand of religion. You could put every Abortion Clinic act of violence and have it occur on a single day and it will not even come close to a normal everyday occurrence in a Muslim nation against those that are hated.
The Mosque at Ground Zero will probably happen. This nation of majority Christians will allow it to happen.

Stony, you are killing as usual. That vague bit of nonsense about those that are hated, every day occurrence etc., is just too good. After all, it stands to reason that those who are hated are going to be the objects of mistreatment, and your singling out Islamic nations certainly illuminates the sheer folly of the current trend of fear-mongering about muslims. Hilarious and thought-provoking as usual.

Right. This is now. Almost 600 after the huddled masses began crossing the sea to escape the benevolence of the Holy Roman Catholic Church. Back in the good old days when X-tians ruled the world with armies and crusades they called that the Inquisition.
According to the legend, Mohamed changed the mission from one of peace and love to one of outright murder and conquest. So did the Catholic rulers. They simply wrote an adjunct to their scripture and called it The Malleus Maleficarum or Witch Hammer. They then proceeded to act on this new idea with great zeal.

The crusades occurred some 200 years after the invent of Islam. Muhammad had already created his ideology of Jihad. Long before. The Crusades did not begin until Islam had conquered into Europe, N. Africa, Persia, India, etc..
The concept of Jihad cannot be blamed on forces outside of Mecca and Medina.

Stony, I firmly believe that you are the hardest working man in show business, particularly in light of the passing of James Brown. This is a medium that I think is fertile ground for working comics like yourself, and I have to tip my hat to you. And as always, I admire your willingness to stick with the bit. This factually challenged propagandist that you play is a great character. The absence of empirical evidence in your arguments is consistent, and as always points to the fundamentally absurd nature of bigotted hate propaganda. The bit about the Crusades coming two hundred years after the advent of Islam is a nice touch. The presentation of factual inaccuracies by propagandists is a common tactic, and you blow it right out of the water.
