I agree that America is full of hypocrisy and double standards; every country is.
But I also know that I'd MUCH rather live in any part of America than ANY Middle Eastern country, or any other predominantly Muslim country.
Even if I ignore everything else, just the way you guys treat your women is enough for me to condemn Islamic religion and laws. |

Well, he does have a point. Because Muslim countries use the Koran as their source of laws and morality, there are no examples of hypocritical Islamic nations.
Like, for example, the way every Islamic country in the Middle East cries bloody murder about how the evil Zionist entity treats the poor Palestinian people, and yet somehow the whole lot of them can't get together and welcome all of the Palestinian refugees into their own borders, because then they wouldn't be able to express moral outrage about the conditions in the camps anymore... That's not hypocritical.
Or, the way Muslims claim that Sharia law is so just, but every single country which has implemented it treats its women with a complete lack of justice. Miss, you were raped? That guy did it? Sure, no problem, we'll convict him. Do you have four male witnesses who saw the alleged crime? No? Well, that means what happened wasn't rape. You must have been leading him on. You're a *Working Girl* and a *One Who Practices the World's Oldest Profession* and you've committed a crime against the Koran. You are hereby sentenced to death by stoning... That's not hypocritical. |

P123!
Do you see how we call the muslims hypocrites, so we can hate them as hypocrites----while ignoring the real problem: the Hate for themseves as women and as hypocrites and the hypocrisy of us hypocrites hating hypocrites like the ones we are?smile
At least, they have not sent missionaries to convert us to their hypocrisy---like how we have sent our missionaries to convert them to our hypocrisy.
sigh
in Love for hypocrites so we can eliminate the real hypocrisy: the hatred for hypocrites or for any words,

That's not quite true; Islam is also spread by their missionaries. However, the primary historical mechanism for the spread of Islam has been conquest via war. |

Hmmmmmm
Thanx for the correction!smile
Whatever missionary & military mechanisms Islam uses, they were learned well from so-called Xtian exemplaries, a case of the students trying but failing to excel the teachers!smile
"451AD-1054AD Christianity in Turmoil.
Why have I named this period 'Christianity in Turmoil' rather than extol the virtues of the spread of Christianity into a 'Holy Roman Empire'?
For many reasons, but mainly one that relates directly
to this topic.
For the first time in the history of Christianity,
Christians took up armed warfare against other Christians of different race/culture or country.
Students of history will note that the times I have selected above commence with the Council of Chalcedon in 451ADand finish at 1054AD the date of the split between the Eastern and Western Christian churches (Constantinople and Rome).
After 451AD the complete Oriental Orthodox
(Coptic, Armenian, Syrian, Ethiopian, Indian) were shunned by the Eastern and Western hierarchs and replacement Bishops were instituted in the major cities
of the empire where the historical Oriental Orthodox bishops had existed.
Naturally the Oriental peoples did not accept the new Bishops and very often riots resulted in the said cities. Civil law was then enforced by the soldiers of Byzantium upon the orientals which included killing, imprisonment, torture and banishment.
Note this killing was 'legal' according to the ruling authority (Byzantium).
During this time warfare was seen as a legitimate tool of the Christian Empire as can be seen by the rise of Christian Emperors in the West (EG:Charlgemayne).
This can be seen in its clearest form in the open wars against the newly developed monotheistic religion of
Islam.
The prophet of Islam, Mohammed, brought to the earth another major monotheistic religion.
It is not the purpose of this topic to debate the truths or other of this new religion, however, it is noted that towards the end of this time period Islam had become a major power in areas formerly under Christian rule.
By and large (and due to the fact they did not have standing armies) the Oriental Orthodox countries were quickly overrun.
These included Egypt, todays Libya, Palestine, Saudia Arabia, Syria right up to the gates of Constantinople on the Bosphorus. From this time the Oriental Orthodox
branch of Christianity would 'disappear' into obscurity on the world stage and would remain so unto the French conquests of Egypt and Palestine under Napoleon a millenium later.
But it is also worthwhile to note that those same Orientals would survive the yoke of Islam, without need for any "Inquisitions, reformations, or post-modernisms".
1054AD-1517AD Roman Catholic Dominence.
In this era Constantinople fell to the Islamic armies and by and large has remained an Islamic capital to this day. However, prior to the fall of Constantinople, the city was sacked by the Crusaders from the Western Empire. This severly weakened the City and in fact made it
somewhat easier for the Islamic invaders who followed soon after.
Again we see the horrible situation where both Western and Byzantium forces believed the killing was legal and legitimate and that God was on their side.
In many ways some see this as the temporal punishment
upon Constantinople due to her armed incursions centuries earlier against the Orientals.
However, the power and strength of the Western
Roman Empire was also challenged by the actions of a few, in particular, a German monk by the name of Martin Luther who in 1517 nailed his 95 thesis to the Church door at Witteneberg.
Christian expansion had reached into countries during this era which had not (apparently) seen a Christian faith. These included South America, Japan and pacific and Asian continents.
Whilst it is true to say that British and Spanish interests were at the head of these expansions and that very often conversion was accompanied by the sword of the
Conquistadors, again riding on the belief that the sword may be used in legitimate government.

Weakest of Christ's servants,
