Critics of religion like to claim that the source of most of the world's ills can be traced to believers who wage wars in the name of their distorted fanatic faiths. Indeed, this thesis has led to a spate of new books advocating atheism and deriding religion in the past year.
Needless to say, critics of this trend have pointed out that the vast majority of the deaths incurred by conflicts in history's bloodiest century — the twentieth — were caused by fanatical non-believers in traditional faiths in the name of their Communist, Maoist and Nazi faiths.
But it must be admitted that violent religious extremists are, at this moment in time, the primary threat to the peace of the world. The only problem with this unpleasant fact is that the opprobrium rightly aimed at the perpetrators of this faith-based violence cannot be neatly distributed across the board to practitioners of the three major monotheistic religions.
Though present-day Jews and Christians are not all saints, there is no getting around the fact that neither of those religions has sprouted a contemporary movement aimed at world domination to be achieved by terror and war. That honor is reserved for the Muslim faith, among whose adherents Islamist terror movements have found a home in the mainstream of its culture.

This is just another transparent attempt to paint the cult of islam as no more dangerous than Christianity or Judeism.
Those that pay attention and are honest are fully aware of the dangers of the cult and cultural relativists.
Hi! Where have you been? You've been missed!
Or worse, paint Christianity and Judaism as just as bad or worse than mohammadism!

Hello all
What we saw on CNN is a sample of what we will see more and more of now that CNN is in the Saudis' pocket.
The Suadis own a ton of stocks and they call the music.
Amanpour is half Muslim who does what she does both for money and LOVE.
MarreiD to a jew , a mother to a half Jewsih child , she is still in the NET of Islam.Too bad she did not marry a Muslim .It could have neen nice to get beaten every night, NO ?
And sharing the MARRIAGE with three more NEBECHS could have been truly fabulous.HA?
The woman is a shame to journalism .
It is time for us to get used to the idea that these people calling themselves journalists are PROPAGNDISTS and truth and objectivity are not in their lexicons.
The silver linning here ?
Jews and Christians will get closer and thighter in fighting the mutual enemy,Isalm.
I hope.

Thanks Verityink...
Life has been a little rough lately and have needed to focus locally.
Peace to all
Batya-We are all getting squeezed into lifeboats, if we don't get along with each other(and we truly worship the G*D of Abraham, ISAAC and Jacob)then we have got a problem! LOL!
But be very wary of the mainline protestant denominations and ANY church that follows rick warren! They have abandoned the G*D of Christianity and repudiated a certain Jewish Rabbi...they bring shame and dishonor to the title of Christian! And they are a danger, for they are following after the World and National Council of Churches(WCC and NCC), they are very liberal, apostate and pro-mohammadin! They just wish Israel will go away!
But inspite of all their hate and politicing, they are NO match for the Creator of the Universe, Psalm 2 states that HE laughs them to scorn! Ezekiel 37-39 IS coming, BUT G*D WILL NEVER allow Israel to fall again!
Can I get a Hallelujah?

I knew anything from that smary assed, America-hating Christine Anompour was going to be a biased crock of "Jews, Christians bad'' "Islam, ''at a crossroads but good''. I absolutly detest this Palestinain-terrorist loving, Arafat praising bitch, she's a female peter Jennings who has the gall to put this garbage out from the safety and security of the freeset nation on Earth. Not for her any of that burka-wearing Islamist bs. J"Mac.
''Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah HAL-LE-LU-JAH!!! With apologies to JoHannas Sebastian Bach. Hows that Sister Merry Widow? :-) J'Mac.
PHAN--I'm sorry things have been rough... Anything we can do to help?
J'MAC--Thanks, you're a gem!
Sis, yes, the idea that these 3 religions are all the same is ridiculous. Islam is a cult of violence and death... if not of us and the Jews, then certainly towards it's women.
I will never understand a "religion" whose tenet is to murder all others who are not that religion.
Batya, I didn't know that Amanpour was part Muslim? I stopped watching her many years ago when I realized where her reports were leading the viewers.
Hello CATSALA.
It so happens that I know some Muslims who are SOULS .REMEMBER WHEN I WROTE ABOUT Waffa Sultan, called her my bubalah?
I had another Muslim friend , TASHBI ,who , sadly , just died.
These Muslims are ashamed at Islam and its evils .
Amanpour, who's father is an IRANIAN MUSLIM, seems to be very comfortable with Islam's evils .
If she did not have this stage , CNN , where she puts her decrepit shows on I woulnd not have cared, but she is making MONEY and a lot of TROUBLE to us , Jews and Chritians .This is where the problem is .
Always good to hear from you CATSALA.

Batya, it is always good to see you on the board. I am so sorry that your friend passed away. My Sis has Nonie's book here, and she is to be treasured also.
