... The beat goes on (on, on, on)"<br><br>FLASH: NYT CONTINUES WATCHFUL EYE ON EVANGELIC CHRISTIANS<br><br>Well, the New York Times continues their in-dpeth coverage of all things "Evangelic Christian." They should just start an Evangelic Christian-watch bureau at the Times:<br><br><blockquote>These aren't record numbers. In the 1990's the appearance of the Harry Potter books, with their themes of witchcraft and wizardry, caused a raft of objections from evangelical Christians.</blockquote><br><br><blockquote>Muhlenberg is a township of modest homes and 10,000 people or so, a bedroom community for the city of Reading, in the southeastern quadrant of the state. It is conservative politically and almost entirely white, and there are a growing number of evangelical Christians.</blockquote><br><br>Evangelic Christian Watch - 2005<br><br>****************<br>

Remember the mainstream media template: Christians are evil, but Muslims are to be tolerated and handled with kid gloves. <br><br>

The only difference (Minor) between some of our Christain fanatics (evangelicals) and the terrorist Muslims is that ours worship God and Jesus, and the Muslims terrorists worship Mohammed !! That's it !!<br><br>perfect example is Pat Robertson calling for the nuking of a Federal Govt institution - it that's not a terrorist activity - nothing is !!<br><br>David (OFI)<br>

oh really Skul- aka Mr Naive:<br><br>so when did Tim McVeigh convert to Islam ??<br><br>so when did Eric Rudolph convert to Islam ??<br><br>when did the DC snipers convert to Islam?<br><br>numerous airlines were hijacked inside the US in the 70's - were they all Muslims?<br><br>and I guess all those KKK members (still many around) are all Muslims.<br>they might not behead anyone but dragging them behind cars like in Texas a few years ago or shooting them is well within their SOPs.<br><br>Much to your chagrin - My logic STANDS !<br><br>one difference I will point out - thank God I don't think we have as many - but we DO have our share !!<br><br>David (OFI)<br>

<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>so when did Tim McVeigh convert to Islam ??<p><hr></blockquote><p>Was his crime centered around religion? Did he kill in the name of God?<br><br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>so when did Eric Rudolph convert to Islam ??<p><hr></blockquote><p>Eric Rudolph is a whacko who didn't like much of anything or anyone other than himself. If he were Muslim and we associated his crimes with all Muslims, liberlas would hyperventilate in demanding an apology. Yet, you're willing to associate this nut-bag with Christians. <br><br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>when did the DC snipers convert to Islam?<p><hr></blockquote><p>Were their crimes centered around religion? Did they kill in the name of God?<br><br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>and I guess all those KKK members (still many around) are all Muslims.<p><hr></blockquote><p>Name the last time the KKK committed a crime anywhere near the level of the beheadings we've seen already. The KKK is a dying dinosaur the means nothing in 2005. <br><br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>they might not behead anyone but dragging them behind cars like in Texas a few years ago<p><hr></blockquote><p>Was that a crime committed in the name of God and religion? Was James Byrd's death religiously motivated? <br><br>****************<br>

all those crimes were committed because of a few common factors - prejudice and fanaticism...<br>religious prejudice, race prejudice (like the current Sunnis killing Shiites), prejudice against authority- the Govt... <br><br>some of the killings in Iraq are religious - some political, some just tribal feuds -ie like here there are many reasons for the fanaticism -it's all NOT religious.<br>Like here, the really TRUE devout religious believers don't do these atrocities.. its the fringe fanatics !<br><br>I didn't even mention the Branch Davidians- they were religious kooks !<br>what about them Matt?<br><br>David (OFI)<br>
