    Nobody attacked "Christianity" or "Conservatives".

    People attacked the assertion of some Conservatives and some Christians that the actions of single person or group reflect the entire group.

    If someone who calls themselves a Muslim OR a Christian goes on a murderous rampage, THAT PERSON did it, not "Muslims" or "Christians".

    The chief of police in Olso Norway described the terrorist as Christian fundamentalist…it’s almost laughable how unfair and imbalanced Fox News really is. They’re willing to call a spade a spade when it comes to Muslim extremist, but they won’t do the same when the extremist is a Christian?

    I am not defending Anders Behring Breivik and he definitly was the worst terrorist since Bin Laden
    Not even sure he didn't have aqccomplises.

    But the video which I saw was not a racist Nazi video. It should go back up. Actual rape victums and confirmed cases were shown and reality tv or real stories are just telling the facts. It is a fact that Muslims are dangerous especially to young girls.

    Ummm...no...but feel free to try again....

    I'm simply pointing out the contradictions and paradoxes you and about 2 others in this thread keep putting yourselves into. You simply cannot pick on one side and ignore the other...you'll inevitably try again....and I'll inevitably laugh. Ironic huh?

    Still doesn't excuse the baseless, factless, and pointless stereotyping of a large group of people whom I assume disagree with your views. It's still a fail any way you look at it.

    Actually they have the highest ratings out of all the cable networks. So no...WRONG. It's late so I'll allow you the simple pleasure of googling a real source.

    ...because every counter arguement in a debate has to end with bias and hypocrisy in the face of ignoring facts, or being too lazy to look for them. You are really winning me over (thats sarcasm by the way, just making sure you can keep up).

    Go read about half the threads on this board concerning the topic and come back and tell me what we learned today....


    Look: I like to consider points and angles, even if they go against my usual flow of things, because maybe I am wrong, and I like to consider that. You will NEVER win me over with hypocrisy, bias, assumption, and factless debates - they hold no place in a debate. You want me to take you seriously? Get some REAL facts and don't treat me like the enemy. Thanks.

    When a crime like Brevik`s is comitted in Iraq, or Afghanistan, or similar type of country, it is such a common occurance as to hardly rate comment. The 2002 Bali bombings, an act of jihad, killed 202 people in the name of Jemaah Islamiyah (Islamic Congregation), and injured a further 240.

    Abu Bakar Bashir, the leader of a boarding school in Indonesia that trained children for jihad, and a spiritual leader of Jemaah Islamiyah, avoided conviction for his part in the murders, but is now serving 15 yrs for other crimes of mass murder. Bashir is confirmed to have repeatedly preached, "There is no nobler life than to die as a martyr for jihad. None. The highest deed in Islam is Jihad. If we commit to Jihad, we can neglect other deeds, even fasting and prayer

    http://www.martinfrost.ws/htmlfiles/june2006/abu_bakar_bashir.html
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Bakar_Bashir

    If Brevik was genuinely concerned about the effect of muslim immigration into Norway, he couldn`t have done worse for his cause. If Norway does suffer from cultural incompatibility, the problem will now be almost impossible to even discuss, let alone properly address.

    Brevik wasn`t schooled / programmed by a religious or political leader, he is simply one of life`s greatest losers.

    I still like Jon Stewart's comedy, he's funny as hell, but he becomes annoying once he starts weaving his political views into things in the smug/smartassed way he does. He should stick to comedy, or be less biased.

    The Left (let me say some) really demonstrated their desperation with their reaction to the Norway incident. It was like a collective sigh of relief from the Left, a grotesque sense of satisfaction... when it was completely unwarranted. I was amazed by how fast it was proclaimed that right-wing terrorist were now some huge menace to society, the number one threat. The words Conservative Christian blazing the headlines and articles of CNN and MSNBC for days. Ironically... just days after the Norway incident a story emerged about a Muslim Uzbekistanian threatening to kill Obama, another Fort Hood plot was prevented, and a story about 40 Americans and 20 Canadians joining extreme Islam groups and fighting overseas.

    I hope you all enjoyed your moment in the sun. :sun:

    He was not a Christian. He was a secularist who appreciated the Christian culture but "didn't seek any spiritual guidance from God". You can find more information in his manifesto.

    He (Jon Stewart) tries to explain that Christians are always nothing else than only conservative idiots who don't have any plan what they are speaking about if every Christian in the whole world says: "Mr. Anders Behring-Breivik is no Christian". The words of a single mass-murderer like him seems to be much more important for nearly all people in the western world who are no Christians than the words of the Christians in this world.

    Hard as it might be to imagine spirituality or even belief isn't always a requirment for religion or Christianity in Scandinavia. I'm not from Norway but Sweden for example have had a Arch Bishop who openly doubted gods existence as well as well as stating that he did not believe Jesus was god's son. I imagine Norway isn't all that different from us. Now while the Bishop was a extreme case I just used him to demonstrate that what makes Christian might be slightly different around here.

    All in all I think beyond all the silly crusader things this man probably isn't that different from the general church goer in terms of belief when it comes to Jesus/God and religion.

    Look for it on the Channel 4 site. Daily Show "Global Edition" That's where I found it. He skewers the hypocrisy of the American religious right with their own words, mostly from Fox news talking heads.

    Countries aren't representatives of Jesus Christ. Only a person can be. This guy is misrepresenting Jesus Christ's nature. He's not a Christian, period.. unless he confessed for his sins, and meant it. Had he honestly confessed he would feel so overwhelmed with joy he surely would've wanted to tell the media that he isn't the same person and had an epiphany. Yes he would then go on to talk about love and "turning the other cheek" to violent people. If may even feel inspired enough to apologize to all of the victims and their family members for not following the Christian God. That's what a christian would do.

    Cal, Cal, Cal, what are we going to do with you. Well airman I'm going to need to see your ASVAB scores. I hope you aren't operating any heavy machinery wherever you are.

    Fox News might be the highest rated CABLE network but only 39% of people say they regularly get news from a cable channel of any kind.

    Not my videos, those were made by the Norwegian state run news network. Maybe you'd like to hear it from Norwegian newspapers instead? And no, google translate isn't xenophobic:

    Immigrants behind all reported assaults rapes in Oslo (VG)
    Immigrants behind all reported assaults rapes in Oslo (Aftenposten)

    Lame apologist bull(*)(*)(*)(*). It's a smaller class of rapes where the victims described their attackers as foreigners. Norway isn't some retarded melting pot where anyone from anywhere can blend right in. A lot of these scumbags can't even speak our language.

    Look who's lying now. According to the Oslo police report, ethnic Norwegians were suspects in 34.9% of the rapes in 2010. Page 53.

    But terrorism has usually an ideology, and the ideology of this Norwegian terrorist was Zionism.

    What to religions - according to some prominent Zionists Judaism accepts terrorism as legitimate means of combat.

    Terriosim has no religion. A few bad apples who go to the extreme to get their point across is just that.

    Very worrying. Even the rainworms in my garden started to dig direction Jerusalem five times a day. But they have a cough - I can hear it very good with my stethoscope - so maybe they are only looking for some medicine. Whatever - I informed my team of most creatíve boys and girls about this very serios problem. I guess in only some decades we will be able to final a solution against your hate. But seriously I'm asking myselve why you are misrespecting all this murdered children of god in Norway while you are continously propagating your own hateful antisemitism. I don't know what this makes with your soul - but I'm sure it is not healthy to do so.

    That was spam.

    I do not respect the murdered children?
    What are you talking about?
    These children are victims of hateful Anti-Palestinians propaganda, promoted by radical Zionists.

    They protested against the apartheid regime in Israel, and that is the reason why this pro-Zionist monster Breivik had murdered them.

    [​IMG]

    Here is what Zionists think about the killed Norwegian children:

    What Semites and Anti-Semites are you talking about?

    Do you know what the word "Semites" mean and who are the real Semites in Palestine!
    The Palestinians are the real Semites, and these Semites are hated by Zionists, like this Zionist monster Breivik and many nutters in this forum who create with their Anti-Palestinian hate speeches such monsters.

    These Semite-Haters and war-mongers, who instigate hate against the Semitic religion, called Islam, and against the native Semites in Palestine, have really a crippled psyche.

    No, Breivik was not a racist, he killed children of his own race to promote Zionism.

    I've talked to many Communists who believe that Communism is against violence.

    But Communists killed more than 100 Million innocent people.

    Could a couple of "bad Communist apples" do such a big killing?

    The same of most religious people. They have enough religion to hate people of other religion, but not enough religion to love the "others".

    We have to look at the content of the "sacred books", be it the secular Communist Manifesto that talks about "expropriating" (robbery), and then it will be obvious that Communists are potential robbers and killers, and so are the adherents of any abrahamitic religion.

    If we want to talk about Religion, then we have to examine the context of religious books.

    Let's start with my signature:


    "For the nation and the kingdom which will not serve you will perish...”.(http://bible.cc/isaiah/60-12.htm)


    That sounds very hateful to me. They are threatening with destruction of any nation that will not serve them.

    Let's look what happened 2000 years ago:
    As we see, terrorism played a very important role in Judaism even 2000 years ago.

    How can somebody say that terrorism does not have any religion?

    Terrorism has many causes, and religion is one of its cause.

    We have enough religion to hate each other, but not enough to love each other.

    (Jonathan Swift)


    That may be said about most terrorists and most other fanatics, blended by any religious or secular doctrine.

    That's exactly what I said and that's exactly what I think. I have also the feeling you are misusing this murder to prepare new murders. By the way: God said to me you should contact him. He likes to speak with you.
