from a Muslims POV

Am I the only one who thinks we are chucking apples and oranges at each other here? If you put north america slap dab into the mideast would we react in the same exact way to things as we do now? or would there be CHRISTIAN bombings and CHRISTIAN extremism more prevelant in a culture that doesnt do as good a job of sublimating such reactionism? or are certain people here saying that the very nature of christianity AND civil white resource rich westernism will always be a higher more humane level of existence then the middle eastern muslimism we see in 30 second news snipits on fox and CNN?

Possibly not, but, for the time we're living in, it's not happening, is it? Your posting of a hypothetical situation does not have any bearing to what is going on factually, but since you're going that route, I'll add this tidbit...

If mainstream Muslims openly, and forcefully, denounced Islamic terrorists both in the pulpit and on the street, would we have as many terrorists who are Muslim today?
 
I think yes. But that is because there are extremists for every religion. and hell those that speak out against the terrorists would probably end up dead if they are in the ME

My point exactly...if they don't speak out as a group. Too bad TD doesn't see that... ;)
 
Im sorry. I dont see how your attempt to twist freakos word as an attack on me is relevant at all to my comment. perhaps you could elaborate further how asking basic questions about the nature of christianity and islam and the nature of the environments in which they currently reside ("western" vs. "eastern") has anything to do with your misinterpretation that i dont understand how condemning terrorist action is useful. Thanks.

Sorry, Flavio, but you brought up a hypothetical situation. I countered it, and the only thing you can come up with is this? :hmm: Maybe I'm giving you too much credit... ;)

ah...ain't read many of Flavio's posts (before me time here).....deffo ain't the same person tho'...I've known thulsa for a coupla years on forums.....ain't his style to hide under a diff name ;)
 
sounds like a swell guy though if he had gato chasing his tail also. :D But true to form hes wrong about this one too. Its just I never bothered to correct him because I always got a chuckle out of him saying I have clouded judgement while assuming im someone else. :D
