Oh No, The New Awesome Primary Thread

What is the evidence that the burning of cars in France is related to a "Muslim jihad against the West?"

LOL! C'mon, Faith... Surely even you had to have hesitated on posting such an absurdly dubious "source."

What you continue to misunderstand is that not all Muslims operate in some kind of homogenous union. Shi'a and Sunni agree on almost nothing, and even amongst their sects there is discord. This kind of fearmongering is no different than Nazi ideology in how it manipulates shreds of facts to create some insidious beast that, in actuality, exists in the minds of the paranoid and is massively overstated so that it distorts reality. This is Groupthink and Mean-World Syndrome that you're falling victim to. While I agree that some countries have a tendency to whitewash or downplay the actions of Jihadis, France is not one of them. They are aware that very radicalized Islamic cells are in their country. But they aren't going to lay at the feet of all Muslims the burning of cars if there is no evidence to support that it is nothing beyond vandalism. Mein Kampf provided the evidence that the Jews were also bent on world domination.See how easy it is to get carried away?

Yet in the same breath you lay this all at the feet of Muslims and go on for several pages stating how Christian radio taught you how it was those damn Muslims without a shred of tangible evidence to support the bare assertion.Your audacity is astonishing.... I'm not even mad; I'm more impressed at how you can be that duplicitous with a straight face.

So, as you have accurately illustrated, we cannot make sweeping allegations against Jews or Christians based solely on their faiths, right? So the question is: why aren't you extending the same courtesy to Muslims since Muslims are every bit as diverse as Jews and Christians are?That's really the central issue that you keep overlooking. I mean, honestly, have you forgotten that ISIS and Pro-Assad regimes are not only fighting each other (Muslim against Muslim) but also are slaughtering innocent Muslims in the crossfire?You paint with the broadest brush possible, Faith.

You're the Christian. Shouldn't you be doing that?

From a psychological point of view I find it fascinating how the loudest moralists tend to privately exhibit the most debaucherous behavior. This reoccurring theme seems to play out time and again. The louder the indignation and the more obsessed they are with some specific sin, the more obvious it is that they are wrestling with the very compulsion they rail against in self-loathing behavior. With your constant harangue of moral indignation, one could only speculate what kinds of skeletons lie in your closet.

Don't have a very flexible or subtle mind?... Care to elaborate on what that means?

I'm speaking generalities about praying for your enemies like, you know, Jesus wanted. You never say anything like that. It's just vitriolic spewing about Muslims or gays. I get that you have to view them as apostates or sinners to one degree or another, but why not reach out to the sinner instead of brow-beating them about how they sinned? Probably because it seems like casting stones is a full-time job for you. We would much rather hear stories about you feeding the homeless or visiting those in prisons in accordance with Christ than excoriating Muslims for burning cars in France.I don't know, Faith. Seems like the last time you turned the other cheek was to spit on someone behind you. Just an observation.

We all fall short of glory of God. I feel just awful about it... No one here is defending Islam, lol. We all are in agreement that it's a piece of trash, backwards religion. We are just pointing out that you tend to paint with a very broad brush and tend to make exaggerated claims. That you interpret this as "defending Muslims," or whatever, is your own failing.
