Muslims reach out to Pope
Reply #48 –
What gets me about all this is the fact that the muslims who preach peace get no media coverage, neither do the troops who give part of their MRE's to starving iraqi childre. Instead all we hear about are suicide bombers and those idiots at blackwater. Apparently bad news gets more ratings, so good news gets thrown in the trash can.
And i just want to remind people that the differences between peace loving muslims and fundamentalist muslims is vast. My brother is a muslim AND a marine that served in iraq. And he served our country well fighting to remove the terrorist element fromthe faith, if only from the mainstream view of it. The major difference between fundamentalist muslim terrorists and christian fundamentalist wack jobs is the fact that the terrorist muslim fundamentalists ARE the mainstream. They have converted so many into thinking that we are the devil through acts such as the recreation of israel that those who can see through the propoganda are the minority.
If christian fundamentalists like Pat Roberts calling for saddam's assination when he was still in power became the majority then christianity would be right back in the dark ages of the spanish inquisition. And not all the fundamentalist christians preach violence. Take Warren Jeffs for example. Most mormons don't like to hear or accept it but his teachings are part of the mormon faith, although they are a severely warped version of them, much like terrorist muslims. His particular sect (palygamist) is called The FLDS (Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints) whereas the rest of us are just LDS or the RLDS (Reformed Latter Day Saints which are usually only found in the midwest). Bottom line, fundamentalists are not a good idea in ANY religion. Weather they be muslim, christian, jewiss or anybody else i forgot to mention.
