BIG BIG DIFFERNCE I would think someone of your intelligence could easily discern the difference. In Islam it is Muslims themselves, here on this earth, who are to slay the wicked, ostensibly on Allah's behalf. In the Bible passage you quoted, which by the way is a parable, it is God himself who slays the wicked. Nowhere are Christians told to kill their fellow man in God's name. Quite the opposite, we Christians are plainly told to suffer and NOT strike back, even unto death. If you wanna argue with the (alleged) Almighty of the Bible, that is your prerogative, but Christianity is miles away from Islam in appropriate killing time (any Muslim anywhere anytime) and who the executor (Christianity's God and His Son, and on occasion, holy angels) is. I suppose getting angry at the Christian God might register on His radar screen, or a loud proclamation on your part of total disbelief in Him may get you noticed, but it won't get you killed by Christians. Getting angry at or disagreeing with the Almighty also won't change his actions, last I checked. I don't remember Him taking a vote from progressives as to the justness of His end time killings, but I suppose one can protest just the same. I fail to see any similarity. All over the world Christians are oppressed and killed in Allah's name wherever Islam is dominant, and they have their book to back their actions up. I challenge you to find where muslims are killed because they are Muslims by Christians anywhere in the world. If you do, we Christians will disavow those Christians actions, or call them non Christians ourselves.

Iranian official uses 'N' word to describe Obama Rick Moran There they go again - those Iranians are getting all hopeychangey on us again. Don't ever let anyone tell you Obama's "outreach" the Islamic Republic has been a failure. We already knew they were a bunch of Nazo-loving Holocaust deniers. Now, we should be gratified that they've adopted the rhetoric of one of our most famous, home grown terrorist outfits; the KKK. PBS is reporting (via Jim Hoft ) that a high-level Iranian official who comes from one of the most prominent and powerful families in Iran, used the "N" word to describe our president: Mohammad Javad Larijani criticized the policies adopted by U.S. President Barack Obama and referred to him using a racial epithet. "When Barack Obama was sworn into office he talked of verbally engaging Iran," the U.C. Berkeley graduate was quoted as saying. "What has changed is that today this [the equivalent of the N-word in Farsi] talks of regime change in Iran." In a Saturday meeting at the Islamic Engineers Society, Larijani said, "I am not a racist, but I must respond to this man [Obama] in some way." Larijani's brother, Ali, is the speaker of Majles (Parliament). Another brother, Sadegh, is head of the judiciary. Ali Larijani was the top Iranian nuclear negotiator with the west until he resigned a couple of years ago. He is now Speaker of the Majlis and one of two personal representatives of Khamenei to the legislative body. His brother Javad is also a high level advisor to Khamenei and a big shot in the Iranian nuclear program. No doubt Iranian apologists will say that this kind of the thing is aimed at the Iranian people and should be ignored. But if anyone wants any evidence of exactly how the clerical elite views our president, this is a pretty good indication that they have no respect and nothing but contempt for Obama.
