"Kam", you need to stop reading cultural comic books and get a real picture of what the "west" did.Reader comment on item: The Limits of Terrorism Submitted by kman (United States), May 24, 2009 at 00:29 The native Americans were not "wiped out" for one, but God's word was imperfectly delivered. You will find that the Christians fess up to their wrongs as opposed to Islam which is guilty of every wrong in the book and refuses to face up to any of it. A great many of native Americans peoples have embraced the teachings of Jesus Christ and still held onto their culture. Man has never been particularly adept at delivering God's messages to humanity from any religion. The Christian history books have a few atrocities on their record books. There is nothing new about that. The Muslim religion has always been presented from the beginning with horror and nightmare as its preferred method of delivery. It is not a rare occurance but a matter of common practice. There is no belief or religion that doesn't have those who have hopped on board to borrow a "name" to advance a personal agenda as did Hitler. It didn't make him a Christian because he said he was. I could say that I am Genghis Khan. Would you take that as truth? Islam has practiced deceit, lie, terror, war, rape, torture, and every heinous act man can come up with right from its inception. It isn't an occasional dalliance. Christians commonly practice and teach love, forgiveness, helping their fellow man (regardless of religious following), and giving a helping hand. It was Jesus Christ intent that his followers help as many as possible to understand his teachings and salvation. He never preached the atrocities commonly practiced by Islam. Nor did he preach staying in one's own backyard and indulging oneself with family and friends until death upon which one would advance to paradise. He taught the truth and commanded his followers to teach the same and to love. He taught his followers to see that no man or woman is without sin and therefore unworthy of eternal paradise with God. Acknolwedgement of sin is required of all of us. Jesus paid the price for those who accepted him and walked the way he told them to. We don't do it perfectly as God knew we wouldn't, but we don't commonly practice massacre, rape, and torture. Quite the opposite. Being macho and full of false bravado isn't a requirement put forth by our Creator. Neither is forcing people to "believe". Why would a God of truth find any value in humans who are forced or bullied into following him? I know the histories of most peoples on this globe and none of them are without blemish. Only Islam has followed the savage attributes of war to get what they want throughout all of its history - from the very beginning. It isn't Arabic. It is Islam. For all your rantings against the "west" and America, your cultures would all still be living in tents and herding sheep if the west hadn't developed your natural resources for you. Your thanks are to wield those natural resources like a weapon. Adolf Hitler had a very staunch ally in the Muslim nations, so don't throw him at Christaianity. The west made some stupid and inhumane decisions regarding Nazism. It was a cowardice pure and simple. But, only lsam threw in its entire lot with the Nazi war machine and complicitly handed over every non-Nazi and non-Muslim over to Hitler's forces of evil. The cowardice of the west was one thing, but to throw ones entire being behind every heinous atrocity of Nazism is very far another. And that was Islam. Islam always promulgates lie. The Israeli nation from the very beginning invited the Palestinians to join in with them to form a free nation and to enjoy all rights and privileges of citizenship. The Palestinians decided to leave and the Muslim nations have never done one thing for them beyond arming them to fight a proxy war that theMuslim nations couldn't fight themselves. The Muslim nations have promoted every lie conceivable concerning Israel's intents and efforts to live peacefully in the Middle East. All of those lies are now accepted as truth. You may make fools out of mankind and even lie and deceive yourself, but nothing is ever put over on the God of truth. That God is the one that every man will face at the end.
