So what exactly is the difference between Iman calling for the death of gays and some of the Christians posters here calling for the death of gays. We now even have posters here calling for the death of innocent children. I'm still waiting for answer to my first post.
Or...a Christian Pastor calling for killing gays.
The difference is that most Christians consider such "pastor's" psychotic lunatics, who really ought to be hauled off the street and put into secure Institutions.
The message from most people on the Right is, when the SHTF, even though we might disagree with their lifestyle, we'll PROTECT and DEFEND ANY gays that are in our communities.
There's a surprising amount of support for what that pastor expressed, you'd be surprised.
The feeling on the left is - we will PROTECT and DEFEND ANY of the people who are in our communities, including Muslims in our communities.
Not so Subtle difference between the Pastor quoting Romans 1:32 saying that GOD will punish them. And the Iman saying that WE must punish them.. Let that sink in a bit...
Maybe explains why the world is not on fire with Radical Baptist Terrorists.
Not much difference.
Why Is the Media Ignoring Ted Cruz's Embrace of 'Kill the Gays' Pastor?
Last weekend Senator Ted Cruz, along with fellow GOP presidential candidates Mike Huckabee and Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal, spoke at a conference in Des Moines headed up by a man who advocates the execution of gay people — per his interpretation of the bible — and who made his call for mass extermination once again, onstage at the event, the National Religious Liberties Conference. Pastor Kevin Swanson has said in the past that Christians should attend gay weddings and hold up signs telling the newly married gay and lesbian couples that they “should be put to death.” He was an advocate of Uganda’s infamous “Kill the Gays” bill, which he saw as a model.
That kind of appeal won't fly with Christians. They smell the rat. Divine judgement is the only type of "justice" in the New Testament. So you have 3 related religions.. Judaism is passively staked on Divine justice, Christianity added activism by their members to prostelytize and spread the word (which DID influence those Govt sponsored Crusades and Inquisitions) and finally Mohammed comes along and makes every believer a "soldier of Allah"..
There you have it. .That's what the Ft Hood shooter had on his biz card..
So I'm sure that during WW2 and in recent history there were soldiers of God for Christianity -- but their SANCTION for handing out death and destruction came from GOVERNMENT -- not God...
