Koranimals*.

(* I take no credit for this, the funniest taunt I have ever heard about these 7th century heathens. Whomever made this up, feel free to take a curtain call)

Especially since the Oklahoma City bombing wasn’t motivated by religion at all,

I wish you would re-think that opinion. Every action taken by a devout Muslim is motivated by their religion(of peace). Jihadi’s had made it known some years back that they wanted to hook up with anyone in the U.S. who harbored a hatred for Israel and the Jews, which made neo-Nazi groups a natural for connections. What they wanted was someone who would not appear “middle-eastern”, thereby avoiding us blaming Islamists for terrorist acts that might be committed in the USA. It was speculated by some at the time of McVey’s arrest that he had some help, but as you recall, he maintained that he acted solo. I always thought that Janet Reno was in a REAL BIG hurry to see McVey executed, especially considering the Left’s view of capital punishment. Getting answers from a dead guy is a tough thing to do. We’ll never know, but given McVey’s links to neo-Nazi groups it sure seemed that the administration wanted McVey disposed of quickly.

Just a thought…

BTW Mein Kampf is still one of the best selling books in the Arab world.

I was once at a tent revival in the midwest, and one person got a splinter and another ate too much and had to lie down for a bit.

Didn’t call off the meetin’, though.

35 killed at a religious festival

Is this where we’ve ended up; with the sons in therapy, discovering and uncovering the features of their own emotional landscape, tracing each break and fissure back to its patriarchal source?

Well, before we officially kick-off this family reunion/group therapy retreat session, I regret to inform you, as I’m sure you’ve already noticed, that most of our more Levantine brothers and sisters couldn’t make it. Apparently their flight was delayed, something about a bomb scare.

How long did it take Mrs. Hasan to start in about “illegal” Israeli actions?

What, was anybody actually expecting Christiane Amanpour to be objective? If she had a mustache and a penis, she’d be Geraldo.

Is anyone really certain that she doesn’t?

This is almost surely a simple matter of a Jewish American getting pissed off at this ludicrous moral relativism in comparing Israelis and the Koranimals.

He nails it, and he’s absolutely right, imho. What else you got, Dan?

Really think Geraldino has the ‘man-parts”?

To be honest, the conservatives of today are more like the old liberals (we’re talking pre-20th century here), what with free trade, limited government intervention, human rights, et al. The classic liberals became conservatives because the modern liberals became socialists. More intriguing is the two-party systems. The Republican Party of Abraham Lincoln was a reform party that had a wide-sweeping social agenda of abolishing slavery. The Democratic Party stood for the status quo. Now, everyone’s perception is that the Republicans support the status quo and the Democrats are “progressive.” I believe this has roots in when the Democrats became overtaken by the Communists. Somehow, classic liberal positions became conservative only because Communism/Socialism was so much further to the left of them.

It won’t play for me on Firefox either. You must use IE.

Oh…duh. Thanks, that did it.

Good job Mr Abrahms.

Shame on Amanpour. A foreign concept to her since she is a devote believer in moral relativism–as well as obviously anti-christian and most certainly an anti-semite.

First Kurt Loder unloads on universal health care and now Dan Abrams is raking Christian Amanpour over the coals for her ridiculous three-day morally relativist “expose” on how Christian and Jewish “fundamentalists” are just as likely to kill you a…

It is just ridiculous to compare “extremists” of the three faiths. Look at a list of attacks perpetrated by jihadis, and then look at a list of attacks on abortion clinics. Is there a difference in number? In fatalities? Most importantly – is there is difference in response/condemnation from mainstream members of the religion involved?

Nice.

I love it when anti-Christians bring up Oklahoma City and abortion clinic bombings….

Especially since the Oklahoma City bombing wasn’t motivated by religion at all, and it’s questionable whether McVey even considered himself a Christian at the time. But hey- at least he was a White Male Oppressor!

The abortion bombings are inexcusable, but pretty rare; even more rarely is someone hurt or killed. Almost never do you hear of a Christian religious official urging their members to blow up abortion clinics or refer to those who do as “martyrs”. Not that it matters to the moronic moral equivalency brigade of course.

Heh. I’m a contractor too. Coming up on my third deployment to Iraq not counting a few in and outs at Camp Liberty.

Too hard? Then find us a Muslim who thinks Osama Bin Laden is a Muslim.

See? There’s a difference.

Texas Nick 77 thank you and all your fellow soldiers for giving us here at home the freedoms we are so lucky to have…Thank you and do be safe.

Thank you, but again see my post above. I did my time in the service as a “bubblehead” on a sub back in the Vietnam days. I’m over here rebuilding much-neglected power plants as a contractor. I will, however, relay your thoughts and prayers to the gentlemen of the US Army that watch over us day and night. No one appreciates them more than we do here.
