    You find it odd that Islam is not a monolithic belief system?
    I already said what I found odd.

    most participants of the event and the gunmen themselves weren't from garland so why the parameters ?

    but at the very least you are implying all the garland muslims knew. got it.
    How did you come to that conclusion? I never implied anything of the sort.

    Your twisted little fantasy could play out just the opposite of what you'd hope for. Instead of a movie theatre like massacre ala James Holmes maybe the bad guys only kill one or two before being killed by some gun toting NRA members.

    Your fantasy will never play out, people looking to commit mass murder aren't going to do so at a place where they know others are well armed.
    Again, I would hope that only the attackers would be the fatalities, but would not be surprised that the chaos would cause the trigger happy in the batch to fire in a panic.

    Too many guns in a small space. Friendly fire is a very real phenomena.

    Ted Cruz blames Obama for Texas shooting



    Sen. Ted Cruz accused the Obama administration Tuesday of bungling, asserting that federal officials should have intercepted the two men shot dead Sunday before they reached an anti-Muslim conference in Garland.


    Once again, as with Nidal Hasan and the Tsarnaev brothers, we have radical Islamic terrorists who this Administration knew about and yet failed to connect the dots and prevent this act of terrorism,” Cruz said.

    Never let a tragedy go to waste to score cheap political points. Is anybody really surprised that Cruz found a way to blame Obama for this?

    Right, you found it odd that not all Muslims act the same as you believe they would.

    Pretty sure the Muslims who had used the community center previously probably knew. I think I heard a report on the Texas Standard that they decided not to give a .

    Muslim's around the world protest these type events, I find it odd US Muslims do not.
    Because they're scared to do so, all around the world they do what they can get away with and they know that if they pull that bull here they'll get ed up. I see those ragheads around here more and more these days and I mad dog the out of them. Might start playing the knockout game soon.

    I found it really odd that there wasn't a single Muslim protesting the event.
    I find it really commonsensical. Pamela Gellar pays for $10,000 extra for off duty cops to deal with angry Muslims at every event, plus, no person in their right mind who isn't a politically radical or extremist Muslim, would want to risk being mistaken for one.

    Make sure and tell the board about your experience drawing prophet cartoons in Yemen.
    And maybe do so before you actually go as we are unlikely to get a story after your travels.

    Dont be stupid. The U.S. is clearly a Christian country, if one had to describe our religious leanings. And in Garland these guys were ready to die. Die for their cause. I thought you admired this kind of devotion/blind allegiance?

    For umpteenth time, the USA is a secular form of govt, NO religious affiliation, or preference, AT ALL.

    A majority of US people claim to be Christian, but only Utah and its Mormon freakish cultists, founded by a murderer, achieve even 51% weekly church attendance. Claiming to be Christian doesn't mean ones goes to church, or practice Christianity in any other way.

    iow, most Christians are very probably nominal Christian.

    Which still leaves the USA FORM OF GOVERNMENT, at all levels, as Cons utionally SECULAR.

    So your same old USA-is-a -Christian-country gets the same old Boutons' slapping.

    I am not talking about government for the love of God! (pun)

    And so take the nominal Christians out and the U.S. is still vastly Christian.
    Its not a liberal or conservative slant, it just is.
    Some people do not like the fact that the cir ference of a circle in 2-d is pi 3.14.. X Larger than the diameter instead of an even 3. I say tough , it is what it is.

    Get it?

    Treaty of Tripoli, passed unanimously in the US Senate in 1797:

    ARTICLE 11.

    As the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion,-as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquility of Musselmen,-and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.

    America is a Christian country, Moses helped write the Cons ution, the FFs created America to be a Christian theocracy, etc, etc. comprese the huge pack of LIES that the Christian Supremacist Taliban grifters indoctrinate their ignorant followers with, for profit, of course. The true God of the USA Christian grifters is the mammon of the adored god, the $$$.

    "government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion"

    As has been repeated ad nauseam, the GOVERNMENT is secular, and the GOVERNMENT guarantees, protects the right, the FREEDOM to practice any religion. Religious pluralism is the LAW OF THE LAND.

    The GOVERNMENT is FORMALLY, LEGALLY, CONS UTIONALLY AGNOSTIC about any particular religions practiced by the citizens.

    You ING Christian supremacist Taliban are a much bigger threat to USA than Muslim terrorists.

    Note there were only 2 Muslim shooters in Garland for the Muslim-baiting, Mohammed-trashing cartoon festival, but 10s if not 100s of "Christian" Taliban, lovingly Christ-like every one of them, aka, the Repug "base", screaming at, violenting intimidating the Muslims assembling for their own peaceful Garland meeting.

    Dont be stupid. The U.S. is clearly a Christian country, if one had to describe our religious leanings.
    According to a 2014 survey, 78.5% of adults identified themselves as Christian,[234]Protestant denominations accounted for 51.3%, while Roman Catholicism, at 23.9%, was the largest individual denomination.[235] The total reporting non-Christian religions in 2012 was 4.9%, up from 4% in 2007.[235] Other religions include Judaism (1.7%), Buddhism (0.7%), Islam (0.6%), Hinduism (0.4%), and Unitarian Universalism (0.3%).[235] The survey also reported that 16.1% of Americans described themselves as agnostic, atheist or simply having no religion, up from 8.2% in 1990.[235][236][237] There are also Baha'i, Sikh, Jain, Shinto, Confucian, Taoist, Druid, Native American, Wiccan, humanist and deist communities.[238]


    Oh for Christ faking sakes, this has NOTHING to do with the cons ution or any proclamation. Did you flipping read the bolded above? I'm sorry if you don't want the U.S. be made up largely of people who call themselves Christian. I'm also sorry you don't like the fact that gravity exists.

    The above is a GD Wikipedia snippet describing our makeup. If you don't like the poll, then please tell me what religious affiliation people in the U.S. would affiliate with. It is not Islam.

    Why is this so hard to accept?


    Further, if you don't think the Cons ution is based on Judeo-Christian ethics, you are just lying to yourself. Yes, the part about separation of church and state is even apart of freedom of the individual, an important part of this way of thinking.

    Jesus...

    Are you really this dense?
    Or do you enjoy blatantly changing other poster's points, the overused "moving the goalposts"?

    BTW. Indonesia is by far the largest Muslim country. Does this piss you off as well?
