		<description>januarius, right.

Remember Atta and the other 911 perps? They went to topless bars, drinking and dropping cash, dressed in Dockers and lived in a Florida apartment, where inside, surprise, they covered up a picture of a female on the wall with a cloth.

For them going to strip clubs was acting like an American. They had instructions to blend in. It would not be against their faith to drink, if it furthered their aims.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;And Mel Gibson didn’t go shoot up an office.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Bingo. Find me anyone running around killing for Jesus. They don&#039;t exist. On the rare occassions that they do pop up, they get locked up, by other Christians. And some shape their &quot;faith&quot; around their hate like the World Church of the Creator and their ilk. 

Christians don&#039;t abide by that. Yeah, you&#039;ll find the odd nut, but it isn&#039;t &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.danielpipes.org/article/3450&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;so odd&lt;/a&gt; in Islam. Haq has &lt;a href=&quot;http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/279424_convert30ww.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;says so himself&lt;/a&gt;. 

&lt;blockquote&gt;Haq had begun studying the Bible, attending weekly men&#039;s spiritual group meetings, only to stop coming a few months after his baptism.

He had told the group&#039;s leader that he seen too much anger in Islam and that he wanted to find a new beginning in Christianity.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

What kind of religion makes you angry? In what communities to you see regular physical manifestations of naked rage? &lt;em&gt;(Allowing for the possibility of staged naked rage...Ed)&lt;/em&gt; What devout religious group storms building and sets fires and demands the death of those who offend them?  

Do the math.</description>

		<description>It is not a secret that terrorist cells in the U.S. would generally not try to call attention to themselves as Muslim radicals.  You would expect that they would NOT have beards and that they WOULD plaster U.S. flags on their cars, wear the Pledge of Allegiance on t-shirts, &quot;convert&quot; to Christianity, etc.

Therefore, what is so surprising that this Seattle Muslim terrorist would have &quot;converted&quot; to Christianity?

		<description>You can&#039;t be both a Christian and a Muslim, from the point of view of either religion.

Christ said (John 14:16) &quot;None comes to the Father except through Me&quot;

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ummah.net/forum/showthread.php?t=28227&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Muslims insist Christ is merely a prophet, not the son of God.&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;Al-Bukhaari (2222) and Muslim (155) 
the Hour will not begin until the son of Maryam descends among you] as a just judge. He will break the cross, kill the pigs and abolish the jizyah, and money will become abundant until no one will accept it.” &lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;He will break the cross and kill the pigs” means he will declare as false the religion of the Christians by breaking the cross in a real sense and proving false the Christians’ claims and veneration of the cross.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>Maybe he killed all those people to make up for &#039;leaving Islam&#039; (which can involve a death sentence).

Some would mention that Jesus and Mohammand are exact OPPOSITES.

Jesus advocated peace, life, and love (even of your enemies) and the conversion by &#039;witnessing&#039; and showing an example. 

Mohammand advocated war, death, and hatred (of his enemies) and conversion by the sword.</description>

		<description>Bryan,

As I responded in my comments section, 

&lt;strong&gt;The things one has to do to be “Christian” varies according to one’s faith, apparently. Some require mere saying that one believes Christ is one’s savior, others believe Baptism is necessary, others believe good works are necessary. I’m quite literally agnostic on the issue.

By your definition, though, no one who commits murder is actually a Christian and therefore the faith is always blameless. That’s a pretty good trick. Too bad it’s not one available to Muslims. &lt;/strong&gt;

My take on Taq remains that he&#039;s just some sick idiot rather than a terrorist.  I don&#039;t discount that his mosque and his idiot father poisoned his mind against the Jews; then again, the same can be said for Mel Gibson and I don&#039;t hold that against Christians.</description>

		<description>What the media is not tell you (they probably don&#039;t know because they seldom do real research) is that Jesus Christ (Isa) has reverence with the muslims as a prophet only second to Mohammed so there is in some muslim circles a natural convergence to Isa (Jesus Christ) in their faith.  This does not however make a muslim a Christian because they, the muslims, do not believe that Christ is also God as the Christians do.</description>

		<description>&quot;That’s what the Seattle PI reports, as filtered past OTB. James Joyner uses the report that Haq was baptized to insist that Haq isn’t a jihadi, or something.&quot;

Oh, puh-freakin&#039;-leeze.  This guy is about as Christian as Cindy Sheehhan is pro-war.

Chalk up another newspaper, the Seatlle Post No-Intelligence(er) as a terrorist enabling/supporting media entity.</description>
