Jon Stewart could seriously win a Nobel Prize for this... its important, hilarious work.

Yeah I've seen some of this stuff on tv. "How about we don't give a **** about what the Jihadist think?" Yep....

I didn't find them too amusing...

Also, people tend to dislike a religion whose ideology supports the beliefs of it's followers when they decide to blow innocent people up..

"Now John's an abomination in the eyes of both our Lords.":lol:

Though I'm not a fan of mockery towards Jesus, I am certainly a fan of mocking some of the stupid things Christians do (so that we might be corrected). :P

I always wonder, where are all of the conservative comedians? cybrcatter

Jon Stewart is pretty moderate with his views. I don't really view making fun of people who think of silly excuses for this as mocking conservatives.

It was there Holy Land too... and Christians did not allow them to pray there... what choice did they have?

And explain pre-Inquisition Spain... controlled by Muslims, they alllowed all religions to worship there... until a couple of Christian rulers decided to torture and murder millions.

For example...?

16 You must destroy all the peoples the LORD your God gives over to you. Do not look on them with pity and do not serve their gods, for that will be a snare to you.

17 You may say to yourselves, "These nations are stronger than we are. How can we drive them out?" 18 But do not be afraid of them; remember well what the LORD your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt. 19 You saw with your own eyes the great trials, the miraculous signs and wonders, the mighty hand and outstretched arm, with which the LORD your God brought you out. The LORD your God will do the same to all the peoples you now fear. 20 Moreover, the LORD your God will send the hornet among them until even the survivors who hide from you have perished. 21 Do not be terrified by them, for the LORD your God, who is among you, is a great and awesome God. 22 The LORD your God will drive out those nations before you, little by little. You will not be allowed to eliminate them all at once, or the wild animals will multiply around you. 23 But the LORD your God will deliver them over to you, throwing them into great confusion until they are destroyed. 24 He will give their kings into your hand, and you will wipe out their names from under heaven. No one will be able to stand up against you; you will destroy them."

Deuteronomy 7:16-24 the BIBLE.

As I say in my following post:
For clarification, I think most Christians are good folks, just like I think most Muslims are good folks.

I also think there are great philosophies in both of their books.

It's not even taking actual quotes or parts of the Bible The part Highlighted is an account from when Israel is defeated at Ai, it's not any teachings. And here's what it actually says:"

12"Therefore the (I)sons of Israel cannot stand before their enemies; they turn their backs before their enemies, for they have become accursed. I will not be with you anymore unless you destroy the things under the ban from your midst.

13"Rise up! (J)Consecrate the people and say, 'Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, for thus the LORD, the God of Israel, has said, "(K)There are things under the ban in your midst, O Israel. You cannot stand before your enemies until you have removed the things under the ban from your midst."

14'In the morning then you shall come near by your tribes. And it shall be that the tribe which (L)the LORD takes by lot shall come near by families, and the family which the LORD takes shall come near by households, and the household which the LORD takes shall come near man by man.

15'(M)It shall be that the one who is taken with the things under the ban shall be burned with fire, he and all that belongs to him, because he has transgressed the covenant of the LORD, and because he (N)has committed a disgraceful thing in Israel.'"

Not a good excuse for massacres..

Still, since this argument is gonna go nowhere, you and hopeless coming in here pulling the stereotype card, and everyone else pulling the stereotype card with religion isin't going to help with anything.

So I'll just settle with I see no plan on listening to either of you, because you both have a strange belief thinking other muslims are completely fine with idiots in their religion doing what they want, and agreeing with what they did.

I always wonder, where are all of the conservative comedians? cybrcatter

They are shut out of almost all cable channels, especially those owned by Disney, NBC (General Electric), and MTV Networks (a.k.a. Viacom) which is who owns Comedy Central.

In response to Stewart's usual, one-sided idiocy, there is a difference between so-called "Islamophobia" and simply calling a spade a spade. When organizations and individuals all over the world consistently commit barbaric atrocities against foreign nations and violently oppress their own people in the name of "Islam," it starts to look like a spade after a while. What we are seeing is more and more people in developed countries who are willing to call it a spade. The "it's just the extremists" argument has run its course; unless the oft-alluded-to "moderate" Muslims break their silence and make a visible, concerted effort to overthrow the extremists who dominate their religion and destroy its image, there is no reason to suppose that much moderation exists at all in Islam, or at least not in the majority of its adherents.

16 You must destroy all the peoples the LORD your God gives over to you. Do not look on them with pity and do not serve their gods, for that will be a snare to you. Endorsing violence against others?..No, it's not..it's saying do not sway from your beliefs..especially with THIS LINE..and the "people your Lord God" gives over to you is undefined so you cannot state it is saying to wage war on innocents or any group for that matter..

17 You may say to yourselves, "These nations are stronger than we are. How can we drive them out?" 18 But do not be afraid of them; remember well what the LORD your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt. 19 You saw with your own eyes the great trials, the miraculous signs and wonders, the mighty hand and outstretched arm, with which the LORD your God brought you out. The LORD your God will do the same to all the peoples you now fear. Oh, the Lord will deliver you from persecution as he did in Egypt..cool, that totally endorses violence against innocents and non believers..20 Moreover, the LORD your God will send the hornet among them until even the survivors who hide from you have perished. Same with this line.. 21 Do not be terrified by them, for the LORD your God, who is among you, is a great and awesome God. Same with this line..do not fear your opressors.. 22 The LORD your God will drive out those nations before you, little by little. You will not be allowed to eliminate them all at once, or the wild animals will multiply around you. 23 But the LORD your God will deliver them over to you, throwing them into great confusion until they are destroyed. 24 He will give their kings into your hand, and you will wipe out their names from under heaven. No one will be able to stand up against you; you will destroy them."

But where..pray tell does it state to wage war in Gods name and destroy all non believers?..

Deuteronomy 7:16-24 the BIBLE.

Im still surprised people bring up the Crusades when their are such better examples, like the the constant mass murder and assaults agaist jews in Europe. Or the The constant civil wars agaist protestants and other chritian offshots.

Or even better how about the mass killings of natives in the Americas and Phillipeans justified by "god"

Oh yeah, God allowing people to record events as it happens, whether nice or not so nice, really shows God's character.:roll: Note that God condemned Ahab and his family to death is because of numerous atrocities the family has commited, which included presecuting and murdering God's prophets, child sacrifice, and offering to Baal, which any idol worship is specifically forbidden in Exodus.
