Like Christians haven't done the same damn thing. When the Irish Catholics and Protestants were busy whacking the out of each other did that make you a terrorist, too?
....way to kill a joke...

By the sboe's logic, darrin is more sympathic to islam than christianity since he devotes more threads and youtube video to islam than he does to christianity
What joke?
I don't think you understood my post. It wasn't directed at you.
The opposite happened from the OT to the NT; God mellowed out a lot.
Should we change the name of Algebra too? Change it to Smithra or something?
TSBE will want TX kids to use Roman numerals instead of Arabic numerals, and drop zero because it's from Hindu mystics.
Does TSBE drink al cohol
we'll keep zero cause it was invented by the mayans
Mexicans!
They are still beheading white people!
Now THAT was a political issue, and had been going on openly since 1916...and eventually a political solution was reached that during the 90s.
Yeah. For better and for worse, the Christians never did.
The OT is still relevant. You just can't lop off Moses and Solomon from the Judeo-Christian tradition.
The new covenant doesn't provide perfect immunity from archaisms. Just look around.
As truly scary/bizarre as the prophetic books of the OT are, the Book of Matthew can make even relative non-believers soak their drawers. It about did me.
Matthew 5:48.
Dial up your version, if desired.
Bingo.
Islam and Arabic/North African culture are not entirely interchangable.
Still I find the anti-Islamic hysteria on the part of ignorant Christians funny in a sad kind of way.
Or is it sad in a funny kind of way?
Neither. It's just sadly ignorant....and willfully by all appearances.
Of course, you would think 9/11 is the most historical event that Islam is related to.
I find the passages before that quote to be quite relevant.
I think most religious conservatives just skip by these passages.38"You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.'[g] 39But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. 41If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. 42Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.
Don't see many conservatives practicing that one either.43"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor[h] and hate your enemy.' 44But I tell you: Love your enemies[i] and pray for those who persecute you, 45that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Certainly the most historical event related to Islam in this century?
Given that the century is all of 10 years old, that's not saying a whole lot, is it?
Or do you propose that children should only learn about history if it happened in the past 50 years or so?
What other Islamic related events are you comparing it to, Darrin?
What other ones are there that AREN'T related to terrorism?
Guess who said this:
"9/11 was a watershed, was a major milestone, and a major catalytic force in, in catalyzing the attention towards the issue of Islam, it’s presence in the West, and it brought into much greater prominence our work and the importance of our work."
There is nothing wrong with that quote unless you're implying that "our work" means something sinister. I wonder if the scare blog you pulled that quote from actually give the source/context of the quote?
Yeah, you're not Islamophobic - Why would anyone ever think that?
Can you name one?
Why is learning about Islam limited to it's relation to so-called "events"?? What Christian "events" do kids learn about in school?
