I do think the "Thuglican" hate shows (Rush, Beck et al) are responsible for fomentings and encouraging this vile behavior.
Perhaps you should do an OP on examples of hate on any Beck or Rush shows. Perhaps you could include any false statement propagated in either show relative to Islam, Muslims or the Obama Administration, etc.
Perhaps if you watched and listened regularly as I do, your understanding and knowledge of the danger we are all in due to ignorance of folks like you regarding what these entities are aspiring to achieve in the nation and the world at large will be increased.
Did you watch Beck, this week on the night that he had a room full of immigrants from the old Soviet Union and Ukraine? They spoke of what it was like to loose one's freedom and thrown in the gulag for such crimes as reading Alexander Solzhenitsyn?

Were you there when I was in the US Army in intelligence doing my small part to defeat the old USSR, or were you hiding out with your heroes, child Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Limbaugh, and the other military service dodgers?
I was four years in the USAF perhaps before you were born, defending the US from the ambitious determination of the USSR and Red China to impose atheistic communism on the planet.
Nobody is a military dodger in an era when the military is totally voluntary as a career preference. I was in during the days of draft when you either volunteered or got drafted. After the draft, many went in for the personal benefits it afforded such as education, etc or the lack of another profession.
I hope you're enjoying your benefits. People like enterprising rich Rush are paying their share on behalf of us vets. People like Rush and Beck are sentinels sounding the alarm of impending threats to our freedoms, doing a whole lot more than you or I could have in order to preserve the unique freedoms afforded in America.

Limbaugh:
Rush Limbaugh Says Angry Blacks Are In 30 Year Plot To Train Black Children As Militants | Crooks and Liars
"[Obama] wouldn’t have been voted president if he weren’t black. Somebody asked me over the weekend why does somebody earn a lot of money have a lot of money, because she’s black. It was Oprah. No, it can’t be. Yes, it is. There’s a lot of guilt out there, show we’re not racists, we’ll make this person wealthy and big and famous and so forth. If Obama weren’t black he’d be a tour guide in Honolulu or he’d be teaching Saul Alinsky constitutional law or lecturing on it in Chicago." - Rush Limbaugh, 6 July 2010
Mike Freeman, CBS national columnist writes:
Limbaugh has called Obama a ‘halfrican American’ has said that Obama was not Black but Arab because Kenya is an Arab region, even though Arabs are less than one percent of Kenya. Since mainstream America has become more accepting of African-Americans, Limbaugh has decided to play against its new racial fears, Arabs and Muslims. Despite the fact Obama graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law school, Limbaugh has called him an ‘affirmative action candidate.’ Limbaugh even has repeatedly played a song on his radio show ‘Barack the Magic Negro’ using an antiquated Jim Crow era term for Black a man who many Americans are supporting for president. Way to go Rush.
One can mine quote controversial statements from any media source. I don't see any blatant falsehoods among your examples; mostly mine quoted out of context.
Don't throw out the baby with the bath water. Obviously all you know about Beck and Limbaugh is from mine quoted stuff which his critics have touted on their websites, rather than from listening consistently to all of the pertinent knowledge which these American patriots reveal.

What Constutes Love & Hate
GDR writes:
I'm probably at least as old as you. I was an officer in the Canadian forces and flew a Herc into Saigon during the Viet Nam war to supply the people that we had there who were in non-combat roles. My Christianity is central to my life. My wife is still an American citizen and one of my sons is now an American and as a result 4 out of 8 grand-kids are Americans. I love the US and would usually vote Republican if I could vote down there.
I was in the USAF in the 1950s and now an old geeser at 75, by God's grace.
GDR writes:
He told them that if they continued to fight them militarily that they would be crushed and the temple destroyed which is exactly what happened in the war of 70AD.
Mmm, somehow I missed that opposition of Jesus to the military in the Olivet Discourse of Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21. Is there a reference to it elsewhere?
GDR writes:
Jesus said that we are to love God and love our neighbour. In the "Good Samaritan" Jesus told his fellow Jews that they were to love and respect those whose religious views differed from their own. I have a hunch that message still applies today.
Mmm, but Jesus was not nice to the very religious Pharisees whose religious views differed from his. He drove them out of the Temple and called them to their face, snakes. He debated them on their religious views. Nevertheless, he loved them in that he died for their sins and suffered at their hands without resisting, asking God to forgive them, knowing not what they were doing.
GDR writes:
By branding all Muslims as terrorists I would suggest that Jesus would give the same message to us that he gave to first century Jews, which if we keep going down this road our societies will pay a heavy price. BY isolating moderate Muslims we make them more vulnerable to the sales pitch of the extremists. People are naturally tribal and everyone wants to feel that they belong to one tribe or another. Islamic extremism is a huge threat to our societies in my view as well, and as in 9/11 it only takes a small few to do incredible damage.
I've never branded all Muslims as terrorists. I've done what Jesus did by citing the fallacies of their religion. Having become knowledgeable about the Koran, the Haddith and the Sunnahs, I've argued that the terrorism comes from their scriptures which, unlike the admonition of Jesus to love one's enemies, Mohammed and his apostles admonished to fight the infidels until Islam rules the planet. Citing that is not equivalent to hatred of Muslims. It is about citing the source of the terroristic practices, systemic to the religion.
The extremists are the fundamentals who practice the fundamentals in their scriptures. The moderate ones are the non-fundys who do not follow the fundamentals.
GDR writes:
Frankly the extremists are winning. Just look at what you have to go through to get on an airplane. The wars are bankrupting the western world. The best and most effective weapon we have against Islamic extremists is the moderate Muslim. There have been terrorist threats that have been thwarted in both Canada and Britain by the fact that moderate Muslims informed authorities of the impending threats. I wonder how these same moderates will react next time if they are isolated from main stream society, and been the object of racism. Maybe next time they will say nothing and just maybe some of the young hot heads will view Islamic extremism as a righteous cause.
The moderates are only moderate when they are in nations which allow them to be moderate. As soon as Islam reaches about 30% in a nation, the fundamentalists extremists take over, imposing Shariah true Islamic law on all of the populace as is now the case in many nations.
GDR writes:
The prophet Micah tells us that what God wants of us is to love kindness, do justice and to walk humbly with our God. I think that is how we should live as individuals and that it should also be the basis of the foreign policy of our governments.
JMHO
Your implication seems to be that Buz does not love because Buz warns of the dangers of ignorance to the ultimate plans of Islam. That is not the case. It's actually the ones who fail to warn of impending danger who unwittingly endanger others. Jesus, prince of peace was the one who said he came not to bring peace, but a sword, meaning that his gospel of ultimate peace would first (abe: draw much bloodshed from violent ones who hate it).
God bless you and yours, my brother. Hopefully it's not too late in life for us ole buds to edify one another a tad.

All of the other messianic movements from the Maccabees, to Judas the Galilean right up to Simon bar Kokhba in 135 AD were seen as military leaders that were there to overthrow their oppressors, establish God as King and rebuild the temple. Read Josephus amongst all sorts of other books and you’ll get the idea. The book of Maccabees is a story with one battle after another.
That's partly why Apocrypha books are not in the canonized scriptures. They are counter to the Old Testament prophets. Jesus alone, fit's the ticket for the messianic prophecies.
GDR writes:
There are parts of the Quran that I find offensive but I contend that the Islamic faith is more than just the Quran, just as the Christian faith is more than just the Bible. The Islamic faith today is vastly different from the Islamic faith of the time the Quran was written just as the Christian faith is very different now than it was when the Bible was put together.
The scriptures of both religions articulate the fundamentals of each. The fundamentalists are the ones who ascribe to the fundamentals. Mohammed, his Quran and his apostles who wrote the Haddith and the Sunnahs, which articulate the fundamentals were all violent. Thus the fundamentalist Muslims today are the advocates of war and violence against the infidels. Jesus, on the other hand was non-violent, as were his apostles and as are the fundamentalist Christians today.

Most of what I Have heard from Fundamentalist Christians is
Hate, Retribution & Violence.
Hate the sin, Kill the sinner.
Information and warnings are not one and the same as hate, revenge and violence, Bluescat.

You asked the following question'
"Mmm, somehow I missed that opposition of Jesus to the military in the Olivet Discourse of Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21. Is there a reference to it elsewhere? "
I make one opening remark and then give you several scriptures answering your question. You then respond to the only part that wasn't from scripture. I find it odd that you want to take the Bible literally up to the point that you don't agree with it.
It does however make my point.
There were many messianic movements between the years of the Maccabees and lastly Simon bar Kokhba in 135 AD. In every case, including Jesus of course, the would be messiahs were executed and always cruelly. In every case but Jesus these messianic wannabes were following the standard belief that the messiah would lead the people in battle against their oppressors, lead them to freedom, establish the rule of God and rebuild the temple.
Jesus said no. The way to defeat your enemy is through the weapons of truth, mercy, justice, love, forgiveness etc. After initially abandoning the movement the disciples later became zealous in their mission after encountering a resurrected Jesus. They didn’t talk about defeating the Romans but went all over preaching Christ's message of love etc even to Rome itself.
I agree absolutely that Jesus is the one true Messiah but that isn't the point. The point is what he wants of us.

If we only all agreed on the fundamentals. We had Christian leaders in both the USA and Britain who seemed to have felt called to go to war in Iraq, and that God's methods weren’t either quick enough or right enough to fill the bill. Go figure.
I think we should just let God be the judge of who it is that embraces the path of peace, love and forgiveness, and get on with our own mission.
By the way, what is a cowboy, a horse and a coyote doing on the avitar of a guy from New York?
Nations and individuals are apples and oranges. I'm not a conscientious objector, for the most part. Providentially, what our nation has done, militarily and otherwise is often beneficial to the preservation of Israel, the messianic coming kingdom of God.
For the record, I have not favored our policy of occupying any Muslim nation, such as we have in Iraq and Afghanistan. We are just building up Israel's enemies. Let them fight their own wars.
I apologize for misconstruing your point about the apocryphal books.
As for the horse, etc, I grew up in Wyoming. My dad had a ranch lease on an Indian reservation for some years. We had horses there and we used them in fishing and elk hunting trips in the mountains. (Abe: Often, on the ranch, the sound of coyotes howling in the night would either put us to sleep after retiring or awaken us in the wee hours.)

Because they are very likely to bring about Armageddon.
They/we read about Armageddon end time events in the scriptures; you know your Christian scriptures. Nothing in the scriptures relative to end time or Armageddon come about by any Christian violence, but by global nations. Christians are merely spectators watching world events leading up to what is described by the prophets.

And of course it is not a Christophopic assertion. It is a simple statement of fact. People that think Armageddon is inevitable are just plain crazy and should never be allowed into positions of power or authority.
It's not crazy to take scriptures literal and watch current events play the prophecies out. It's foolish to deny reality happening and go merrily on life's way with one's proverbial head in the sand.
Your problem, as usual, is that to admit to one supernatural thing would be to undermine your secularist mindset.

True fundamentalist Muslims are not violent, true fundamentalist pseudo-Muslims, like Bin Laden are terrorists. The same with the Christians., most of those who profess to be fundamentalist Christians are pseudo-Christians. Names such as Huckabee, Dobson, Beck, Limbaugh, Bachmann come to mind.
Have you read any of the violent fundamentals of the Quran, the Haddith or the Sunnah's which have been cited on this board and all over the internet? Do you deny them, or what?
True fundamentalist Muslims are the most devout ones who follow the fundamentals of their scriptures. How many times do I need to tell you that? On what basis do you deny it?
On the other hand, true Christian fundamentalists are those who practice and teach the fundamentals of the New Testament.
Mohammed and his apostles were terrorists. They both advocated terrorism and practiced it. That is what their books teach and how Islam and their god, Allah are to become the dominant world religion and power. That is why fundamentalist Muslim nations impose Shariah law upon their citizenry. That's why Bibles and propagation of any other religion are forbidden in these lands.
Freedom rings in Christian oriented nations, on the other hand. Other religions are tolerated. Beck and others are also free to criticize other religions, unlike in Muslim fundi nations. Criticism does not equate to hate or violence.
Who are you do judge the religions of the ones you named? Limbaugh, so far as I'm aware has never professed to even be a Christian. If so, he's certainly not a devout practicing one, though he does not practice hate or violence whatsoever. He criticizes and comments on religions, but is tolerant to those callers who disagree with him on his show. Please cite where any on your list have practiced hatred or violence.

Yes, we have read the alleged violent passages from the Qur'an and in almost every case it is just the classic tactic of Fundamentalists to take things out of context, misrepresent what is actually said and to just plain lie.
Ok Jar, quote the violent passages from the Quran that you've read and explain to us sheeple how we misrepresent what is actually said and just plain a lie. So far you're doing your regular thing; blind assertions.
Jar writes:
But yes, Fundamentalist Muslims are also a threat, but just not of the same magnitude as Fundamentalist Christians.
So you admit that fundi Muslims are a threat, Now explain to us sheeple how we are a threat. I'll go real easy on you. You need to cite some examples of injury or death violence by Christian fundamentalists that are at least one quarter as prevalent as we are observing globally from the Muslims.
Buzsaw writes:

Yes, and again totally misrepresent, take out of context and just plain lie about what is in the New Testament. Their belief in some inevitable Ragnark so clouds their ability to think that they are the real threat. They constantly create new identities for the imagined ENEMY, believe THEY are somehow going to be spectators while the rest of humanity gets destroyed, and by unthinking support of the messianic nonsense are likely to bring about a real Ragnark.
I'm still waiting for one example of violent actions that the NT advocates for Christians against anyone. So far your assertions are totally false.

I'm still waiting for one example of violent actions that the NT advocates for Christians against anyone.
Matthew 10:34? - "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword."
The J-guy alledgedly said that, Buz.
LOL, Coragyps. You need to cite where Jesus or his apostles used the sword on anyone or advocated using it on someone in order to advance his kingdom on earth.
I've explained why the "prince of peace" said what he said. He knew he and his apostles would all be killed. He also said that whoever follows him should expect to be hated by unbelievers and to be persecuted and killed. History attests to the fact that his prophecy has been fulfilled over the centuries as true Christians who followed his fundamentals have been persecuted and killed by the millions.
Jesus also knew that there would be wars over religions. Pagan Rome, popes and bishops of Vatican City and the Muslims have all persecuted and massacred fundamentalist Christians over the centuries.
Yes indeed, Jesus's prophecy has been fulfilled, that his gospel would bring a sword, upon him and his followers.
