Still trying everyday to get some God to smite me for my heathen ways. No such luck yet.
This seems to have gotten missed. Can the people who say Haiti was getting punished explain why this verse doesn't apply?
Calling terrorists "pals" of an American president is absolute hyperbole and serves to make you look like an extremist, yourself.
Preach me so more muslim tolerance and diversity son.
1. Do you really want to use Serbia as an example? If so, let's look at both sides of the equation. Aren't these the same Christian Serbs that were responsible for the genocide of nearly a quarter million Bosnian Muslims?
2. The ones who systematically raped Muslim women?
3. The Serbs led by Milosevic against whom the international community united?
4. The very same Serbs who sniped civilians, including women and children, in the streets of Sarajevo?
5. Let us also not forget the crusades, the inquisition, the reformation, burning of "witches", etc. High points of Christian history, indeed.
6. It is not my position that there is no violence in Islamic religions or any religion, for that matter. However, if you wish to make a blanket statement about a particular religion, you must also acknowledge the shortcomings of your own.
7. There is no pedestal upon which Christianity can stand to lob rocks at other religions. Christianity (and Christians) have been the cause of untold numbers of deaths throughout history.
8. What's the verse? Let those without sin cast the first stone?

You called him out for making a blanket statement.
I don't fall under the "crusade" blanket, or the "Pat Robertson" blanket, or the "Jeremiah Wright" blanket, or the "Serbian" blanket. But I am a christian.
Bush sucks!
