What follows is compelling, courageous, bold and something sure to stir people up. The speaker's name is Wafa Sultan. And what she has to say in the video that follows ought to be heard by one and all. It's not new though it's new to me and if new to me, there's a chance it might be new to some of you as well.
What a brave and wonderful woman. She can come to the gun range anytime she wants with me. I'll even let her shoot my Ladysmith with the rosewood handles.
To think that drinking a cup of coffee alone at Starbucks is forbidden under punishment of death in Islam. What a worthless, evil belief system. I won't dignify it by calling it a religion. It's not.

What struck me was her highlighting the false identification of "moderate Islam", "radical-Islam", etc. etc. as the political correctness bull that it is.
People in the west want to believe that the Muslims they meet here in the U.S. are just like them. Some may well be. They may be just like those who call themselves Christian because to some, Christian just means "good", rather than followers of Christ.
One of the things that Ms. Sultan did not say in this clip is that the belief system encourages lying and deception. With a system like that, how can anyone believe what a follower may say? How can we believe any "moderate" position?

While I realize that hyperbolist was just trolling, he does have a point:
You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.
Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

What, hyper, you don't like it when someone comes down to your level? Maybe I should toss in the fword more, then cry that the other commentors here aren't civil to me.

So many false gods to chose from -eniee, meanie, minie,moe.
Those who reject the true God, usually create their own.

Baal, CHico, not Zeus, though if you are trying to say you're Greek (or wish you were), maybe that explains some things.

To extrapolate on Grace's point: how can anyone believe anybody who purports to be doing "God's work"?
The Crusaders, Cortez the Killer, the Inquisitors, Osama bin Laden... What's up with all these monsters claiming to do "God's work"?
Here's a thought: marginalize everybody who sincerely believes they're on a mission from God. Superstitious weirdos!

F-words are funny. Attempting to insult someone you've never met by impugning his/her sexuality is juvenile.
