The Quran teaches Muslims that it is their duty to kill all Infidels whenever, and however, they can, regardless of provocation. The Bible teaches that God sent His Son to die for us.

John Ashcroft ---- "Islam is a religion in which God requires you to send your son to die for him. Christianity is a faith in which God sends his son to die for you."

This is an accurate statement. I don't see bigotry in it at all.

which raises the question of why you commented on the politics of that website. I posted a quote by a leading American official which demonstrated a profoundly bigoted attitude with respect to religion. That was very much on topic.

You posted the Aschcroft statement in your message. So posting the link to the CounterPunch Wire web site, who are self-professed muckrackers, only proves that this source is not very credible, and extremely biased in many areas, politics being one example.

Thomas M. When one speaks the truth, as Ashcroft did, it is not bigotry. Only a bleeding heart liberal intent on a one world government could consider it so. Since it is the politics within the religion of Islam that create the menace to the rest of humanity, it is OK for it to be discussed on this thread. If the Iran, and Afghanistan, are such great places to live, go live with them. You will, certainly, not be missed in this nation.
