Man 1: This Yousafzai girl is only 16, she is wise and articulate beyond her years. What a brave, sweet, inspiring child.
Man 2: Almost makes you wish we didn't have to try to kill her again.
ALL religions have their extremists, whose only goal in life is to either kill or convert everybody else to their particular sect. Sad, truly, truly sad!!
Can we make a distinction between those who kill in the name of Allah and those who kill in the name of Christ? Mohamed taught to kill your enemy. Jesus taught to love your enemy. When a Muslim kills, he is following the teachings of Mohamed. When a Christian kills, he is violating the teachings of Christ.
Remember the Inquisition, that Ratsenburger was in charge of before becoming Pope? Salem witch trials are still being conducted by many “evangelical” ministries, and “honor killings” aren’t just in Islam or Hinduism. “I come not to bring peace to the world, but a sword”, Jesus, right after the sermon on the mount.
“ALL religions have their extremists, whose only goal in life is to either kill or convert everybody else to their particular sect. Sad, truly, truly sad!!”I usually agree with your thoughtful posts. this one, no.Jews do not try to convert anyone, nor is their goal to kill anyone. one can only be a jew if the mother is a jew. it is a genetic thing. Jews pre-occupation (no pun intended) is to prevent being exterminated, as in every generation since the pharohs, there were concerted efforts to exterminate the jews.

“All religions have their extremists…” which is OK but they must not be allowed to control the government. Separation of church and State is vital.

A great many things have been done in the name of religion. They can’t all be right…. Can they?
