what, you want me to tell you the sura? Its somewhere in The Cow, i dug it up for some other thread months ago, and a couple others. Christians dont go around bombing people and lopping off people's heads. Muslims do do that. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of attacks that are Islam-based.

It's not that Sunstone and I challange opinion - that's for debate. We would just like to know how much credibily to assign to your opinion. We hope that there is evidence for you to have the opinion you two hold

Sounds like the opinion is not credible - just an exagerrated, emotional response. We want authenticated numbers not verses from sacred texts. Your opinion that Christians "dont go around bombing people" is in fact wrong and still doesn't provide authentic scope for the numbers you spout.

oh really? How about some numbers for that? Hmm? you got any?

This thread more properly belongs in Debate - it started with posts #11 and #15

[The Black Whirlwind]

In response to "Christians dont go around bombing people"

Pick any site - take all the sites and total the numbers.

After Timothy McVeigh parked a rental truck loaded with explosives in front of the Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City, and perpetrated the most deadly terrorist attack on American soil up until that time, he was simply identified as a terrorist. McVeigh:
bullet Was a member of the Roman Catholic Church at the time of the bombing. 1 ( "Timothy McVeigh," NNDB, at: http://www.nndb.com/ )

Eric Robert Rudolph, a professed Catholic, Centennial Olympic Park bombing and -

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Rudolph
Rudolph has also confessed to the bombings of an abortion clinic in the Atlanta suburb of Sandy Springs on January 16, 1997, a gay and lesbian nightclub, the Otherside Lounge, in Atlanta on February 21, 1997, injuring five, and an abortion clinic in Birmingham, Alabama on January 29, 1998, killing officer Robert Sanderson and critically injuring nurse Emily Lyons. Rudolph's bombs were made of dynamite surrounded by nails which acted as shrapnel.

Perhaps you are too young to remember those. I've shown you "mine" now you show me "yours"

Citing a bigotted site for a number is as bad as no number. There is still no authentification of the number

[Pah]

But the point is that all religions have had extremist and failure to understand the Chirstian participation makes your claim one of bigotry

[Sunstone]

I think extremism is not so much a religious problem, as it is a human problem. There are extremists of all stripes. Some are religious and some aren't. At worse, religion is an enabler for some extremists. But I tend to believe that people who are going to be extremists would be extremists even in the absence of religion.
