'We Were Told We Were Fighting Terrorists; the Real Terrorist Was Me'

[diatabz]

Doesn't matter who started the fight, both sides committed heinous crimes. That being said, I wish we'd give ourselves more time to think instead of immediately labeling Muslims as violent. Too often do Christians focus only on the issue of fundamentalism in Islam.

Yes read on the Crusades. You will find that they were mainly DEFENSIVE in nature.

Even before the First Crusade, Muslim troops had already been attacking Christian communities and kingdoms. The Seljukian Turks threatened Christian pilgrims, and the Byzantine Empire. This had been going on for decades. Then the Muslim armies invaded the Christian kingdoms in the Holy Land. They conquered Jerusalem and Antioch, Syria and Asia Minor.

Both sides, as was common in those times, engaged in atrocities and even fought among each other. But this does not change the fact that the Crusades were brought about because of Muslim aggression.

AMEN to that bro manny!!!

"patayin lahat kaaway ni Allah"

what does that implicate in their quoran?

naa gyud diay ingon ana nga quote sa Koran?

if naa gyud, cgurado jud diay ang Christians ang gpasabot?

[radiostar]

@shogun.....muslims do not hate christians...you are very wrong on that account.....the radicals maybe but not muslims in general...islam is a religion which advocates peace....please be careful pag generalize

not really

no point on arguing who started the fight.
The point of the story is not about religion.

Now if you want to point kung kinsa mas kuyaw mo terrorize, medyo pointless kay Christians and Muslims are all BLOODTHIRSTY, religion or fanaticism can really do wonders when it comes to slaughtering other races in the name of GOD. Christianity didnt start with everyone converting to it, blood flowed like a river during ancient times, religion is very important in wars simply because it can increase your troops morale,and pacify the population since they know God/Allah/Shiva/*name your favorite god* is on your side. Mao bitaw ni convert si Constantine just to make governing his subjects easier.

It just so happens in our current era Christians ang dominant so ang Muslims ang mag suicide bombing, but if you turn it around I wont be surprised to hear Christians dying in the name of God and including innocent civilians with them. Just what happened to the Koran, its very simple to add another chapter in the bible to declare holy war or just declare it immediately, kay ang bible/Koran hinimo ra ug tawo.

naa bai, i think naa siya sa book of swords.
unlike sa bible if there are conflicting texts, mo take precedence ang latest book.
sa mga 1st texts, love and peace ang gi promote but sa latest text kay kill all non believers and gi specify ang Christians kay "children of the book" man tawag nila saunang panahon.

mao bitaw naay nag pagawas ug video sa youtube to call on the Muslim nation to update the Koran kay maoy gi take advantage sa AlQuaeda.

some are already implying nga ang true practitioners sa Muslim faith right now kay ang Al Quaeda.
