Rational human beings don’t use theology or quote scriptures to justify murder and destruction of property. This doesn’t just include the adherents to the specific mythology, but also people who try to explain or justify why people who believe in mythology should be “understood” because they believe nonsense..Civilized, rational people don’t refrain from murder because God said so. They do it because killing is fundamentally wrong.
Zoid, don’t say “Muslims.” Say “some extremist Muslims.” The extremists get the press, but they’re hardly a majority. Lumping them all together just loses you any moral advantage you have over them — they’ll be justified in saying that “Christians hate Muslims,” even though it’s just a few like you who violate Christ’s explicit teachings.
Bush checked with God before going into Iraq (and I don’t just mean Cheney). That religious conviction lead to the death of a lot more Muslims due to American intervention than Americans due to Muslim intervention. I know facts are a bitch when you are a Fox fed paranoid right winger, but there it is.
The “Christian” interpretation of “Revelations” is the ULTIMATE “KILL anyone who disagrees with me” statement. It’s a rehash of the Noah myth, with war and fire instead of flood, utter violence against “them”. “sick puppy syndrome”
Bill Maher, being an American, enjoys freedom of speech and religious freedom. You are infringing rights with your suggestion, thereby suggesting that you do not understand American rights.
I think most people can not understand sarcasm when someone is writing it. It loses something with no voice fluctuations behind it. Unless you add something like “nurf, nurf” or whatever Dr. Canuck adds on his.
“Even in the deepest, darkest parts of the mythology known as the “great religions” there’s no right to kill anyone.”.The ignorance of this statement is only exceeded by the arrogance with which it is presented.
“The Arab Spring” – invention of the 0bama’s leadership from behind and supported by even more clueless media..Muslim Democracy: one man, one vote, once.

Even in the deepest, darkest parts of the mythology known as the “great religions” there’s no right to kill anyone. Murderers are murderers.

And the slight of hand to shift the blame from ignoring the warning signs of a possible attack.

Maybe you have a Delorean, a flux capacitor, and some uranium and traveled with Marty McFly.
As much as I like Jon Stewart and might enjoy visiting him, any trips in the future, please help America. Canada is fine and the US not so much.
