Hello,
I have heard that Scientology can cause ascension-descension disorder amongst celebrities who are within a certain radius of seating apparatus. The phenomenon was caught on camera once, and has been reviewed extensively by the community at large.

Niki - The nuts at TBN aren't working on an arsenal of nukes to start lobbing around the mid - east,or Europe, or the US,... in hopes of drawing out the long lost Imam, from a deep well, somewhere in the world.
But by all means, tell us how it's only Christians we should be concerned about, and down play what is actually going on in the world.

Hello,
We are all still waiting for YOUR message of what you advocate, Mr. Raptor.
Or did I get it right already?

Hi Raptor. Unfortunately this isn't altogether uncommon. It just doesn't get talked about because everyone wants to stick their heads in the sand and think that no one kills Christians anymore, I have news for you people it happens a lot more than you think.
I think you people are so distracted by your dislike of Raptor that your heads are all stuck up your ... yeah ... and refuse to look at an issue because he's the one who posted it, you've done it before, you are all shallow individuals who can't set aside your petty behavior to examine a problem for what it is, a person who is being condemned to death without having committed a viable crime.
Of course not all Muslims do this, but it happens more in Muslim countries than others these days, with a few exceptions. No it doesn't mean they're all evil or guilty, but it does mean that its an issue that bears examining and not ignoring, because when you ignore issues they sneak up on you and land in your space, then you wonder how it happened. This is true for extreme behavior of any sort, not just Muslims, but still to ignore that it happens a lot with them is childish and naive.
I do think Raptor's title was a bit too inflamatory, and you guys are so distractable it detracted from the actual issue being examined, he is to blame and you guys are to blame, all you people are to blame for the shananigans that go on here. And Anthony, Niki may think you're cute but I don't. And Raptor, you ought to say you're sorry for upsetting Quicko, because I think he really is upset and not just acting it to be a snot.
Is this all that humanity has to offer?

Hello Riona,
After we examine the brutal acts of some Muslims around the world, what do you suggest we do then?

How is this markedly different from a Muslim saying that Islam should have dominion over the world? Rick Santorum clearly believes that HIS brand of Christianity should have dominion, and you're very eager to support that agenda.

Not sure where you got the notion that Rappy has "upset" me. I was merely stating a fact. My father was murdered by his government - the government admits this now, admits responsibility and culpability; this thing happened - and Rappy has never expressed a moment's outrage that Americans - MILITARY PERSONNEL AND VETERANS - were fed wholesale into the gaping maw of corporate greed by their government.
I guess it's okay by him, just so long as none of those corporate CEO's are dirty, dirty Muslims, right?

In all honesty, I had no idea of his father's passing, or the manner. Had I known, I wouldn't have been so direct on making that point. ( Although I still see a vast distinction between this case and the tragedy of those who were affected by the use of agent orange, in Vietnam. I don't buy that they are comparable. )
I was attempting to personalize this issue, and remind all, that a wife her two sons will see their husband / father likely be put to death for the mere crime of choosing his religion.
Youcef Nadarkhani was arrested 2 years ago. Now that he is sentenced to death, the verdict can be carried out immediately, or weeks, months or even years down the road.
There are no formal paths of appeal.

I do have a problem with some individual Muslims.
When a Muslim family emigrates to a western country, coming to it for the chance at a decent living ...
The kids adapt to the customs of their new home, but the parents don't. Honor killings of one's own daughters,
that horrifies me. Truly.
The fact that so many Muslims live in the west and do not practice this shows that the fanatics are the
exception, not the rule.

Those close to the case of a Christian pastor in Iran who's facing a death sentence for refusing to recant his faith now fear he could be killed any day now.
The American Center for Law and Justice warned there is an "increased likelihood" that the execution order against Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani has been signed and could be carried out at any time.
"The likelihood that the Iranian regime will execute him increases by the day," ACLJ Executive Director Jordan Sekulow said.
He added that the situation is more "dire" than ever.
Sign the online petition urging more pressure on Iran to release Pastor Youcef Nararkhani and to dismiss his death sentence.
Meanwhile, several members of Congress have joined the fight to save Nadarkhani's life.

A trial court in Iran has issued its final verdict, ordering a Christian pastor to be put to death for leaving Islam and converting to Christianity, according to sources close to the pastor and his legal team.
Supporters fear Youcef Nadarkhani, a 34-year-old father of two who was arrested over two years ago on charges of *apostasy, may now be executed at any time without prior warning, as death sentences in Iran may be carried out immediately or dragged out for years.
It is unclear whether Nadarkhani can appeal the execution order.

*Apostasy in Islam (Arabic: ارتداد, irtidād or ridda) is commonly defined in Islam as the rejection in word or deed of one's former religion (apostasy) by a person who was previously a follower of Islam.
But hey, if they want to take over the world, and fly the flag of Islam over the White House, " so what! ", right ?
" I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend. "
So let's say you get your wish and the White House is yours (Mitt, Newt, Rush, whomever), what would you want them to do about this particular incident?
And Iran? Syria? I am genuinely curious because it seems like a lot of what I hear is just anti almost everything, even between Rep. candidates. Let's say I'm an Undecided and I want to know how you'd handle these world issues.
