Well, at least, they're releasing the Amelia Earhart files...

It's the same poor attempt to try and equalize everything so as to deny the magnitude of the legitimate concern for those that advocate Sharia law. It's like saying "sure, those people are crazy, but those people over there are crazy too, so I'll just say they're equally crazy and it's not an issue," or that one can't be addressed without the other, or that nothing can or should be done about one if there is not something done about the other.

I'm not doing anything of the sort, despite whatever reading comprehension difficulties you may suffer from.

Please forgive me if I don't take the findings of the Gatestone institute as a particularly neutral source.

I also think your comparison is a bit off base. There are extremist pro-lifers who kill abortion doctors, but Isis is an entire group comprised of pure hatred. So I think it'd be more fair to compare them to let's say the Night Templar or something to that effect. Even though they don't exist anymore, it still shows how all religions are crazy and yes that's coming from me as a "Catholic" (I put in quotes because I'm not sure I can call myself one anymore).

As to what you guys are actually debating...I have no want to be involved. LOL. Just wanted to state that.


Interesting fact about Isis as well. A lot of them don't even adhere to the teachings of the Quaran or even understand it. If you do read it, you can find messages of love and compassion, just like in the Bible, but you can also find things that seem insane, just like in the Bible. People are fighting over the same hatred they all hold in their hearts. They are all wrong. They are missing the overall message. Islam is not bad The Quaran is not bad.

Gee, it's almost as if....

It's all social control, the pro-lifers are reading the bible and deciding it's ok to kill people, attack property, and engage in acts of terror for what they believe in. The difference, like I said, is in scale.

All that is to say if the CSA had taken over somewhere the size of Michigan and had a PR team they would be saying a lot of the same shit.

Hey I never said I don't have reading comprehension issues here because I actually kind of do. lol

[D.o.S.]

No worries dude. I'm sure this would be a much easier conversation to have in person (as opposed to a 187 page thread)

Using an insult towards me isn't a refutation of my point.

Regarding the Gatestone Institute. You said nothing of the information. Did you read it? Or did you not because you're assumption is that because you disagree with the stance of that group you automatically disregard their claims. Every news group or think tank has some kind of stance and lens with which they perceive through. The notion of absolute objectivity is a sketchy proposal. Certain groups are more objective then others, for sure. Some random blogger - left or right, politically - may not have the same level of objectivity and rigor as say Reuters. It does not mean that groups out there that may share a difference political viewpoint than your own (or different than mine) cannot produce accurate information regarding a given issue.

If you disagree with what they have said, that disagreement should come from being able to show how their argument and or facts are incorrect. Not because the institution has a different political and ideological viewpoint than your own.

What about the video by Trevor Phillips?
