Major faiths no threat to U.S.

Esposito asserts:
“No major faith, including the five major world religions I have studied and taught, threatens the safety and security of the U.S. or its citizens.”

I call replacing the US constitution with a primitive Islamic law (Sharia) whether by deception or the sword threatens the well being of the US and its citizens. It will shape us in the image of the likes of Afghanistan and Sudan and if that is not a threat of the worst type I know not what is.

I see that John Esposito is the founding director, Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding, Georgetown University and is Professor of religion, international affairs and Islamic studies. Very impressive.

He can try until he's blue in the face to promote understanding between these two religions. It all boils down to this fact: Christianity is a gospel of Love; Peace; and Forgiveness through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.

Islam is a religion of Terrorism; Jihads; Anger and Violence.

Muslims are the descendants of Ishmael, Abraham's son by the slave woman, Hagar.

Here is what the Lord had to say about Ishmael:

Genesis 16:10-12 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude. And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction. AND HE WILL BE A WILD MAN; HIS HAND WILL BE AGAINST EVERY MAN, AND EVERY MAN'S HAND AGAINST HIM; AND HE SHALL DWELL IN THE PRESENCE OF ALL HIS BRETHREN.

Some things never change.

"Yes -- but the 14, 374 terrorist attacks worldwide over the past eight years weren't perpetrated at random by members of diverse world religions. They were executed by radical Muslims, every one (Stillwell).

There is a problem folks.

Sure individuals of all faiths commit atrocities, however Islam is currently the major problem.

"Yes -- but the 14, 374 terrorist attacks worldwide over the past eight years weren't perpetrated at random by members of diverse world religions. They were executed by radical Muslims, every one (Stillwell).

This fact refutes your claim Esposito. These terrorist attacks we done in the name of Islam.

Edzed,

How about we wager that 10 out of 10 missile strikes by occupying terrorist Nations in Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine or even Pakistan now will involve killing innocent women children and elderly mostly of Islamic faith? How much have you got?

There have been many comments since the killings at Fort Hood that emphasize that Islam is "peaceful." Would any of these apologists care to make a wager? I will bet that at least nine of the next ten terrorist actions (shootings, suicide bombings, etc.) will be perpetrated by muslims. Any takers????

"A psychologically disturbed mass murderer should not be seen as representative of mainstream belief and practice."

How many "pschologically disturbed mass murderers" that use the same justification for their acts does it take to call the basis for the justification into question?

It is not that Islam is a problem in itself but the inherent misogyny that easily arises from that religion resonates with male loners and the divisive nature of the religion can provide self justification for mass murder.
