No, you look....I am well aware that there are evangelicals of every color....Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton come to mind and I have not treated them any differently. However, there are many more prominent white evangelicals than there are black or brown or yellow or red.
Only because whites are a minority. Nonwhite folks are just as likely to be evangelicals as whites.
Even if that were true which I doubt, none of the non white evangelicals have the political clout white evangelicals do.
But you are right in that I do set a higher standard when it comes to American evangelicals. Why? Because we are better educated, more democratic and better economically. Should those conditions not make a difference?
You mean you think we're more civilized.
I wouldn't go that far.
First off, many Muslims are well educated and affluent. Osama bin Ladin, for example. Zawahiri, the doctor, for another example. The guy who tried to blow up a vehicle in NYC recently. KSM, who confessed to beheading that reporter named Pearl, went to college in North Carolina.
They come from much more violent societies. In addition, they have been subjected to considerable violence from outsiders fighting over their oil.
The ME was civilized thousands of years before northern Europe. If anything they should be more civilized than us. Don't liberals always brag about how advanced Islam was in the middle ages (remember you posting about the glories of Cordoba)? I think those boasts are gross exaggerations but apparently you folks don't even believe the stuff you say.
Very true. The Islamic empires became fairly corrupt, did not espouse democratic principles like some Euro nations and did not have an industrial revolution. In addition, they experienced considerable climatic change....much of which is their fault.
So then, they are not as advanced as the West.
Muslims on the other hand are, in your mind, brown third worlders and you EXPECT them to be murderous savages .... so you have a very low standard of behavior expected for them.
Now, you're in my mind??? Get over yourself, Brumar.
Sure I do. But he is less responsible for Muslims killing Americans than the Muslims who commit the crimes. You should direct your outrage at the people you know are bloodthirsty killers.
You mean like Reagan and Ariel Sharon?
Tell me, what about violence over the Mohammed cartoons in Denmark? Do you think that cartoonist was as horrible as Terry Jones?
No, I think Jones was a much bigger problem. |
