There may be signs of hope for Eurabia.
Last week, a bunch of Danes filmed a traditional festival which involves burning an effigy of a witch -- but this year, they substituted The Prophet Mohammed for the witch.
Now, we see that some of those legendary plucky Brits have decided to take the same juvenile, symbolic path and vent a bit of their rage over the terrorist attacks that they have been subject to in the name of Islam:
I guess these Brits have the same attitude towards "gun control" as a lot of Americans: it means hitting your target.
This could be the beginning of a movement. I'm wondering which European nation will spawn the next anti-Islamist backlash, and in what form. For example, how would the French -- renowned masters of both contemptuous and contemptible behavior -- try to top burning Mohammed and shooting up a Koran? Or the Germans?
I find myself hoping it involves pigs...

I wonder if Muslims will ever realize that they can't defend their "religion of peace" by acts of violence and intolerance. In fact, it's their attempts to do so that has damaged and insulted Islam more than anything they accuse the west of. God doesn't need any help from puny humans to defend His honor or bring about His plans. If who you worship needs you to take up arms to defend your religion then either you have misinterpreted the tenets of your faith or who you worship is not God.

Many muslims are like many "Christians". They profess being one, but don't know much about their religion, do not read their Koran (or Bible for Christians), and do not daily practice it. So to say that a majority of muslims are peaceful is a fairly dumb thing to say -- most of them aren't the real committed muslims.
I will say what needs to be said. The number one enemy of America are the muslims (those who are committed more specifically, but muslims in general as they exert influence on others). As we cannot go individually to check who is violent and who is not, we need to take a practical approach. After all, when we fought Germany in WW2, was every German violent and evil? Most probably were not. We need to take a similar approach.
The number two enemies of America are the Democrats and the Democratic pary.

Nehemia, your brush is too broad. Before the 1400's there were no Bibles around to read. Most the population was illiterate. So, by your logic, they were not Christians. Now-a-days, there is still a significant number of people who cannot read or comprehend, so again, damned to hell. It is not what you do, it is what you believe. ww

ww,
you're being too simplistic. Reading the Bible does not make you a Christian, but if you profess being one and don't, it tells you something about their commitment (like one's wife who says she loves her husband but does not like to spend time with him).
In an earlier age when printed Bibles were not available, there was oral history. My point is this -- it is not what you say, it's what you do.

You're right when you say salvation has nothing to do with it. We tend to however come up too easily with excuses why we can't do things (esp liberals). One might say, "I'm illiterate" -- but if you really want to read, you can learn (there are many free programs), or you can listen to the Bible on tape. Your salvation doesn't depend on it, but if you easily offer up excuses, that sure reflects upon your commitment.

I know from personal experience that one's walk is full of mountains and valleys. So where one is at a point in time doesn't fully reflect one's commitment.
I do want to make something clear, since bryanD seems to have interpreted it the opposite way. The more one is genuinely committed to Christ, the better (and not just outwardly, as were the Pharisees).
The more one is committed to Allah and Mohammed and the muslim religion, the worse. If you're just a "in-name-only" muslim, you're fairly harmless (though kinda clueless). If one is a committed muslim that takes the Koran seriously and is fervent in that faith, then you are dangerous and probably should be taken out.

bryanD,
As I had said, there are literacy programs for you.
David did indeed fight Saul, but God had anointed David when Saul had left God (so God actually moved David to ride against Saul, so how can David be a "traitor" to God -- he was a man after God's own heart). So just because you're at one time chosen of God, doesn't mean that you always have his favor. One has free will after all, and can always choose to leave Him.
To make things more clear, bryanD, since you seems to intentionally misunderstand. When I am naming enemies of America -- you are one of them. And those that think like you. Is that now clear?

bryanD,
since you seem to have a delusional view of self, let me clarify. it is very likely that you are also an enemy of God (only God can say, but you're giving much evidence that you are).
"anointed" is only with two n's, lest Lee start criticizing you.
Of course Saul is anointed and David knew that (why are we discussing this anyway?). But Saul left God, and God left Saul. However, he still had a history of having been anointed of God and deserves respect in that sense (like former Presidents deserve respect). Saul was God's anointed, but God chose to take the throne away from him due to his disobeying (for not killing all the enemies, including leaders and women and children and animals -- God is serious when He wants to rid of His enemies).

Because you're always using the Bible to justify your day-to-day opinions. My reading of the Bible tells me that the greatest lure away from salvation is listening to false Christs and false teachers who present Easy Answers most amenable to the listener.
Life is a series of hard lessons and trouble will come from WITHIN (most kings of Judah and Israel "did evil"). And the best results come from Others: Pharoah, Nebuchadrezzar, Cyrus, Augustus Caesar, Pontius Pilate, were all neccessary and were Shepherds of the Lord who, by hook or crook, led His people where He desired them to go. See Anti-Christ, the last tool to expunge fake Christians from among the elect.
The goody-twoshoes priests and nuns in Jeremiah should be studied by you. (Hint: they make God's children "to fly" and put kerchiefs on God's hands, ostensibly to make rough hands more Smooth. It's pretty advanced stuff, though. Not taught in seminaries since it countermands the wicked Rapture Doctrine and leaves the believers to endure the Tribulation. Another pesky test!

God both calls and equips His people for the works He has prepared for them. A person cannot choose to be called or choose what gifts of the spirit they receive. What a person must guard against is taking on some work without the calling or the gifts to accomplish it. Too many have went rather than being sent.
It sounds like you're of the "reformed" persuasion. God does not hate people, he hates sin. If laziness is a sin, then it's covered by the Cross as all forgivable sins are. The bride's maids left outside the door don't represent believers. They represent those who think they will become believers once they have taken care of earthly matters.

My point is live your life and do right. Waiting for God's call is folly and the refuge of lay-abouts. The Corban thing. Unless there is personal sacrifice and discomfort, it ain't a gift from God. The rewards are given in the next life. This life is a test and initiation. That's what is meant by to gain (true) life, one should be prepared to sacrifice in this. And to underline this fact, God's people (in the Bible) are by and large, foolish or wick
