FOX and MSNBC are the terrible news networks of America. If we were to make a list of all the screw ups that they make and how partisan their so called “news” is; we would have nothing else to write about. But this really takes the cake. It is really something so irresponsible that it could lead to blood…

Frank Gaffney, a person that believe it or not was actually nominated and worked in the (Presidents) Reagan and Clinton administrations, runs a “think tank” and is, in my opinion, the father of Islamo-phobia.

He is actually a frequent guest on the MSNBC and FOX. Only these two crappy news organizations would have a person like this on. FOX News bans Bill Maher but this guy is okay for them to have! I equate this to President Ahmadinejad’s denial of the Holocaust.

This is what he said, “ This (Sharia) is the program that I think we need to be worrying about is the connective tissue between these myriad of attacks.” Does he even know what Sharia is? It is basically the law of Islam. What do you think the Muslim reaction would be?

More proof “ I am saying though that there is this well, virus as you will, a virus that is far more toxic than swine flu. And we are failing to recognize it as such; even though it is actually animating people to believe that Jihad is what God wants them to engage in to the lots of people….:” Wow! Sharia is a virus more toxic than swine flu? Are you kidding me?

What if this was being said about Christians on air? What if there was just one person that said that crazy Evangelism is the disease that is worse than swine flu? What if this message was said or played in volatile regions like South Asia? Do you know how many Hindu Muslim riots has happened in India because of speeches like that? Does he even think of the consequences?

Sharia is the law for the Muslims. It is like the Talmud or the Bible. Of course there are verses in it that sound bad. But they are for Proselytizing. E.g.
“If you eat with a Gentile, it is the same as eating with a dog”–Talmud
“Fight them (non-believers), until all opposition ends and the only religion is Islam.” – Quran
“When the Gentiles worship their Gods, they worship demons.”– Bible

But in the end of the day, there needs to be a person wise enough to decipher them. The people of the three religions above should know that the Earth is not flat despite what is being written as their religious order.

But that is something Frank Gaffney does not understand. He blames the entire legal framework of Islam and rather than the idiots that cannot decipher what is right and what is wrong.

With regards to his point about inmates converting to Jihadi Islam, he should understand that these are the people that Al Qaeda target, not the other way round. As we in Slashing Tongue have mentioned earlier. They already have violent tendencies or are exposed to such thought in prison. Adding in religion would just add the excuse. I think that the state should stop sponsoring religion to these people due to those facts.

Fighting hate with fear and hate is not going to solve the problem, it is going to make it worse. That is the biggest mistake that Frank Gaffney is making. We should not fall into that trap.

I really could not believe it that this is what happened. Al Jazeera showed a US military base burning Bibles that were written in Persian and Dari (Afghanistan national language). There is some just outrage felt by Christian all around the world.

Before I go on writing this article, I would like to declare that I am neither a Christian or a Muslim. I do not believe in many things that are written in the Bible or the Quran. What I am though is a person that believes in religious tolerance. I think every religion should be respected and so should their holy books.

Yes, I agree that the Americans that brought this books of worship to Afghanistan are very wrong in their actions. They could have made a bigger impact that any torture photos released by the United States government. When you are a soldier, you fight for your country, not you religion. If you fight for your religion, you are no different than the Jihadist that you are fighting.

I think that people should be able to practice their religion in private while serving their army. I am really against people who spread their religion in the army. I think that is very dangerous. I do not think that chaplains belong in a air-craft carrier. I do not think that there should be Sunday or Friday prayer sessions either.

So yes, the American were wrong to bring their Bibles there. But it is also wrong to burn the holy book of the Christians. What if this is the Quran? What do you think the Muslim world would be doing if these were Qurans instead of Bibles? Why is there a double standard when it comes to non-Muslims on religious issues?

This is something that some people believe to be the word of God. I do not, but I like most people on Earth do have friends that are Christians that believe in what is written in the Bible. On a personal note, I would not want it to happen to my religion too.

The US military gave the excuse that they did not want these Bibles to be returned to the Church that send them as they fear that they would send these Bibles again via another route. Don’t they think that the same Church could just make print more and send them overseas? Why do something so drastic when the loop-hole was so big?

The reason that they could not leave it on the base as it was non-essential items in the base. They took these Bibles to be trash! How could they possibly have done that? It is a holy book, it should be respected, not desecrated. What if the US called some copies of the Quran as trash? Can you even imagine the consequences?

Please get religion out of the Army, it does not belong there. There should not be a cross or a crescent that the American military should bow to, only the Stars and the Stripes. They should not be pursuing the glory for God, rather pursuing the cause of the Old Glory. It spoils the image making them sound like Crusaders rather than heroes.

The world is a dangerous place. Religion is one of the most potent tools that is used to recruit people to conduct terrorist actions. Adding another religion into the mix makes the situation worse. It makes people that are the defenders seem to be the attackers.
