Taliban atrocities rampant!

Bush: "Ok we will invade Fallujah again"

Taliban threatens Christians!

Bush: "Dems must hand me over another blank check to recapture Anbar province"

Taliban hosts Al Qaeda!

Bush: "Damm, its the dems fault. They are demanding pull out from Iraq!"

Taliban might have received nuclear info from Pakistani A.Q.Khan!

Bush: "I need another short 3 month vacation until Sep.1 to play golf"

Taliban recaptures Afghan province!

Bush: "Its the Libs fault! They oppose my wiretapping of Americans!"

TALIBAN ISLAMIC FUNDIES FOSTER TERRORISM!

Bush: "EVIL! WMD! We must win in Iraq!"

Oh yea, I feel a lot safer with GW in power! NOT!!!! Damn religions are going to kill us all.

This does not surprise me. Jesus Christ believers will always be condemned and persecuted. Why because the devil wants to distort and destroy the truth. There is no and's if's or but's. Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins. I say Jesus Christ believers because there are so many distorted Christian churches out there that give JESUS CHRIST, GOD THE FATHER AND THE HOLY SPIRIT A BAD NAME.... The end days are near. America is rejecting God. Soon my friends Jesus will be coming back.
EVERY KNEE WILL BOW AND EVERY TONGUE CONFESS THAT JESUS CHRIST IS GOD. Please folk’s im not trying to put anyone down im just letting everyone know what’s going to happen. If you dont know him ask Jesus Christ into your heart right now. He will meet you if you ask him to. Jesus has done changed my life. God Bless... TIME IS RUNING OUT.

Wait a minute everybody !!!
9/11 was from Afghanistan.
6 years later and the Taliban and Al-qada are still there in Afghanistan. Still giving the U.S. Military trouble. There is something definitely wrong here. If that is not a military failure I do not know what is? That should have already been finished and done with.

How can you blame GW for this? What a ridiculous comment. Like he is forcing the members of the Taliban to do any harm to anyone in this world. They are fixed and fascinated only with themselves and have no regard for the sanctity of human lives.

'Radical Christianity is Just as Threatening as Radical Islam’

Rosie O'Donnell as quoted from her ABC television show "The View"

I can only assume ABC agrees with these sentiments, based on the fact that they are the ones who hired her strictly because of her, ahem, ... "View".

Religion is not bad or evil. Whether it be Muslim, Jewish, or Christian. They are all good if you would read them. None of them say or preach any violence or hatred. They all do say to be good, nice, help each other, work together, and have peace. They are there to help people and guide them away from evil.
PEOPLE are the ones that change the meanings and words around to what they want for their own benefit and goals.
So PLEASE everybody open your hearts, open your minds, and open your souls and spirits.

Liberals say "Religion has started every war in the last 1000 years"

That is a lie, the TRUTH is it is the "Corruption" of religion that has started every war in the last 1000 years.

Which religion has become corrupted today?

well all of you want to bring alQaeda to justice but its been 6 years have you ever seen in USA any one try in public court.

This story talks about PAKISTAN you morons. Not Afganistan!!!! This problem is Musharruf's and this is'nt anyone's fault but his. I must be an idiot, but can someone please tell me how a problem in Pakistan is GW's and the Dems fault?

"For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains. Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved."
(Matthew 24:5-13)

Looks like the Muslems have learned something from the days of the crusades.
I belive that christians did the same thing for how long?
No, i'm not muslem. I dont belive in orginized relegoin. Christians are finally getting there reward for there past.

Napolean Bonaparte said this..
I know men and I tell you that Jesus Christ is no mere man. Between Him and every other person in the world there is no possible term of comparison. Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and I have founded empires. But on what did we rest the creation of our genius? Upon force. Jesus Christ founded His empire upon love; and at this hour millions of men would die for Him.

Do I need to say more?

Fairy tales...and over generalized "prophecies" that can easily be seen to fit into any time in history...Those of you fearing the END...don't get your hopes up.

Your a little late Miles.

The End Began with Waco and David Koresh.

What a total bait-threaded article this is. It clearly invites all Christians (aka "Jesus believers") to again play the victim. Like another excuse is needed for that past time. The Taliban is is a terrorist organization - what would you expect? If there were no Christians in the area they would find others to target. It has very little to do with religion and everything to do with oppression and terrorism.

First off, Daniel Jackson needs to learn how to spell. That was the most idiotic point I have ever seen anyone attempt to make. That's like saying I need to pay restitution to people who are descendants of slaves because my ancestors may or may not have been slave owners. Idiotic.

Due to the unlikelihood of a meteor strike upon the Middle East in the near future and the distasteful aspects of ethnic cleansing, I'd like to see a no-fly zone established around the entire region. Nothing goes in, nothing comes out. Leave 'em in the 12th century where they belong.

"and you will be hated by all nations because of me"

...yes, yes, i get it now- George Bush is the second incarnation of Jesus!!..

You libs say Christians are worse that these terrorists? Who struck first on 9/11? Terrorists or Christians? Who is running around the globe killing innocent people using thier children to carry these suicide attacks out? I dont see Christians, Jews, Bhuddists, Hindu Wiccans, Druids, normal Muslims doing this!

All I see is very extreme muslim jihadists doing this! Yes, they even HATE you peace loving libs! You are just the useful IDIOT they need. Once they dont need you anymore they will most likely kill you!

You people are so Moronic blaming Bush, and especially conservatives! The only thing I see you libs really complaining how unhappy you are in your miserable lives and having to blame your problems on other people! Especially Christians, I bet most of you came from a Christian family and have such seething hatred towards your parents religion.

Terrorism is decade old! I recall as a young boy in the early 80's of airlines constantly being hijacked by jihadists, I remember Iran being over run by the Ayatolla, I remember that bombing in Lebanon that killed 100's of Marines and they didnt do anything to provoke it!

I bet most of you whiners would rather lay down and give up and give in to these guys when they come beheaded you.

Don't you clearly hear their message? Anyone (regardless of any religion even other Muslims who dont believe as they do, you athiests too) who doesnt belong to their extremist religion will force you to convert or die! Read the news article again, you may get a clue about what I'm talking about.

All you whiners are probably the washed up hippy generation who dont want to grow up or you are their children who were brainwashed with this skewed view of PEACE and LOVE through SEX and DRUGS.

Why dont you all who are so enlightened organize a large group and go over to these war torn terror stricken nations and preach your PEACE and LOVE and show us the way to your enlightenement! Why not take Hanoi Jane, Nancy Pelosi, John Murtha, Hillary Clinton, Harry Reid, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and the media with you to show us this miracle of PEACE and LOVE happening in real time as you meet with these extremists!

We need to take a very close look at this world. Jesus Christ our savior is coming soon the signs are all their. Our heavenly father has been compasionate with us. We need to read the bible get closer to our father and pray for our nation and that includes our President. Jesus is coming for his people. All must come to pass before his coming as it is wriitten.

True American, why didn't you include the Democratic response to any of those situations? Oh, wait, that's right. There isn't one, because they have no plan. (Except John Edwards; he plans to get a haircut.)

I don't blame Bush for the Taliban.

I blame Bush for wasting time and resources in Iraq while Osama Bin Ladin still runs loose in Pakistan/Afghanistan.

As a general rule I am not sure anything good has EVER come from organized religion.

The philosophies of Jesus/Mohammad have fundamentally shaped the world society but mostly it is just corrupted by power hungry people. In general, the bad outweighs the good.

Couldn't have said it better myself Mr. Twister. Bravo, and well spoken.

Here's the thing...Everyting works in cycles and when I say everything I mean everything...Of course the END is coming but not because of some old book or false fairy tales, but simply b/c there was a begining...Everything that begins must end...

And David Koresh...the only thing that separates him and Jesus is a thousand years...Christianity began like any other now supposedly "organized" religion...as a cult.

This is a perfect example of what Global Warming can do.

Picking on peoples spelling is the best some can do.. LOL
They have only learned what Christians have tought them. You can look at it any way you want, but that is the fact.

pepper...I agree...all that heat can really go to our heads...

You know...Heat rises

I gaurante you that these muslim terrorist and taliban didn't read the quran completly. They must have just read the part that they want to follow and the ones that make them (men) more powerfull than women. Thats why we here that some follow an ancient form of the quran and some follow the modern one. Its also true about us Christians too.

Oh JESUS, ALLAH, KRISHNA, ETC... let it all end soon.

Your right Jonny, it is Pakistan, but the reason why the taliban is in the northern province of Pakistan is because our government's focus has been on Iraq and the quagmire the has been created there. If this present government would have gone after Al-Quada just after 9/11 I don't believe that the taliban wouldn't have regained their power, but choosing to ignore Al-Quada has created an Octopus with many arms and their tentacles are in every problem region creating more havoc. And for those who keep blaming religion or God, God gave choice to man, and it is mankind's fault that they prostituted religion to suit their own agenda's and doctrine, the only religion God proclaims is to take care of widows and the orphans and to believe in his son Jesus Christ, because that is the only way to heaven. So those of you who think that the world is better off without God...well just look what is happening in this world that does'nt recognize God.

Personally, I would like to see an end come to the entirety of the Judeo/Christian/Islamic paradigm. I think humanity has suffered from the loving, compassionate, tolerant, peaceful attentions of the Judeo/Christian/Islamic PROBLEM long enouugh!

I think that it would be nice that future generations would be able to take their children to museums (the only place to find artifacts of faith), and we would explain to those children that those artifacts are reminders to all of humanity of how close humanity came to self destruction at the mere word of delusional people of faith.

Down with the Judeo/Christian/Islamic paradigm. Down with the Judeo/Christian/Islamic PROBLEM!!!

Wow it is really nice outside..or as Al Gore would say, it is the earth's last shrivelled up and dying gasp of fresh air

How can this be? ABC, CNN, NBC, CBS and the ACLU all say Islam is the religion of peace and tolerance. I'm confused!

There is no Judeo/Christian/Islamic paradigm. They all happen to be monotheistic, but that's about it.

Get a clue Olga.

Think for yourself…Question authority….Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening, terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are or where we are going in this ocean of chaos it has been the authorities, the political, the religious, the educational authorities who attempted to comfort us by giving us order, rules, regulations, informing…forming in our minds their view of reality…to think for yourself you must question authority you must learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable open-mindedness, chaotic, confused vulnerability to inform yourself…think for yourself.

Guess the author and when a PRIZE...

Don't think for a minute there isn't a reason for being in both Afg. and Iraq. Take a look at what's in the middle - Iran. When Iran finally comes to a head, which won't be too long if they stay on their present course, they'll have an interesting time if the UN/US decides to take it to them from both sides.

Islam is the Religion of Pieces!!!

It is time for us to get out of the middle east, shore up our own country, stop using foreign oil, and start a new cold war. We won the last one and we will win the next one. If the extremists choose to start world war three we will win that too, because freedom is right.

As Jesus said on the cross, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do."

So Russ...The Right is concerned about all of us? cause seems to me all they are concerned about is Money/oil/power..

Much truth surrounding a little lie - this is how Satan deceives.

"No one will come to the Father, but through me." Jesus

Fear is the opposite of faith and terrorists' main objective is to instill fear, just as their true father instills fear.

What good has organized religion ever done?
How about Hospitals, Universities, disaster relief, The Salvation Army, Fr. Damian and the leper colony in Hawaii, Aids Hospices.
What good has Atheism done? Maoist China, Khmer rouge, Stalinism, Albania under Enver Hoxha, North Korea.
People have done bad things in the name of religion - that's true but it's not the whole truth.

9/11 originated in Pakistan, from the halls of their intelligence agency, which was trained and backed by the CIA....look up "blow back"...this is about drugs, oil and a luxurious life style...Islam is being used as a tool for brain washing millions and millions very much like Christianity was and is used to fulfill certain political agendas past and present. Bush is not interested in attacking Pakistan because we are Pakistan!

Ever notice how wherever Islam is practiced there is violence? They just cannot seem to get along with their neighbors. Wahabist Islam is the most radical form of Islam and should be stopped everywhere it is practiced. VOTE REPUBLICAN!

Jesus can't come back soon enough.

"There is no Law west of the Pecos..."

The NW provences of Pakistan have always been "west of the Pecos," before Musharraf was there and probably will be after he's gone. I do feel for the Christians in that area as there is no indications that THEY oppressed ANYBODY.

The big problem for the world is that Pakistan has nukes and missles capable of carrying them to places like India and the Middle East in general. There is some history of a willingness to sell this technology to the highest bidder also...all in all a recipe for disaster for anybody that breathes oxygen.

After Musharraf then the Deluge?

I haven't read all the other comments
because I stopped when reading the second one about how america is losing god or whtvr the context was..if not for america there would be no christianity left to be preserved..how, honestly, could the small amount of TRUE christianity left in the world fare without america to either vanguard it or back it?....it wouldn't fare at all is the answer....we'd have nothing but buddhists, muslims, catholics, mormons, and so on and so on.....

Common Sense,

Last I heard Catholics where Christians too. Just another fanatical raving by someone who thinks their faith is the TRUE faith. I'm sure that's exactly the way the Talaban thinks.

Why can't people let others believe in God the way they want. As far as I can tell Jesus' message was to love thy neighbor and do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

If we all just followed those two simple tenets, there would be no strife in the world.

Lord... lese protect me from your followers.

Religion, So easy even a caveman can do it.

I wrote in support of our president, and I was right. ABC removed my post.

Military failure in Afghanistan? Sal and Mo just don't get it! This is not a an enemy that has a front line. They are hiding in caves and mountains. Sure the U.S. has the firepower to eliminate them, but first you have to find them and then take care of business. Small pockets of the enemy are everywhere. Remember the loss of American lives in the Pacific by the Marines on Mt. Suribachi. I submit if Sal and Mo have a plan other than rhetoric, to submit it to tha Army. Or better yet go and tell them how you can end the conflict.

Semper Fi!

I only have one thing to say Carla...
"Journalistic ethics"
Dont step on ABC's feet :)

Thank you, Daniel. =)

For all you PEACE not WAR folks, I found your poster child!

“We should seek by all means in our power to avoid war, by analyzing possible causes, by trying to remove them, by discussion in a spirit of collaboration and good will. I cannot believe that such a program would be rejected by the people of this country, even if it does mean the establishment of personal contact with the dictators.” - Neville Chaimberlain

Why is it okay on this blog to slam our President, when my posts supporting GW standing up for our nation are removed?

Let's remember that Lebanon was once over 50% Christian. Today it is around 2% if that. What happened? The 'religion of peace' killed them or they had to flee for their lives. If you think the Taliban won't start killing Christians in Pakistan you should think again.

Yeesh...
Jellobiafra. Yep, even though I dont like her, Rosie O'Donnell is correct. extreme christianity is just as bad as extreme Islam. They all seek to remove basic rights from people (especially women), enforce a strict code on the choice's in one's life, and expect people to be subservient!!!! The 30 Years war in Europe (any of you heard of that?) was one of the most best examples of extreme Catholicism. Or, for example, those nuts who go and shoot doctors that perform abortions after a particularly exciting sermon.
Besides. Using a Chamberlain speech is pointless. Your "Enemy" is not actually a state but an ideology as YOU pointed out amongst the rabid snarlings and attempts to belittle anyone with a different viewpoint. You cant really have diplomatic relations with an ideology, only a policy.

If everyone would actually read the Holy Bible and adhere to its principles, we wouldn't be having this discussion. But then again, that wasn't God's plan. Two forces, good and evil, you can't have a more dynamic scenario. Isn't it strange that only one book is predicting our daily newscast?

Any religion carried to extremes is dangerous. People that carry on their hatred of others in the name of religion are "addicted" just as a person on drugs. I have seen a long-time friend of mine turn from a smart, educated person to a religious zealot. She now has "blinders" on to anything sensible. Giving all her money to church and only speaking in "tongues", and the answer to any question has to come from the Bible. It is sad to see someone's mind go south. I will never let this happen to me.

there is one solution listen carefuly
we should ban islam
we should ban quoran
we should think about our future

Anyone that knows Christianity knows that it is a peaceful religion. Yes there have been wars and acts done that are not in keeping with it. That is human error. However, the Islamics refering to the US as the great Satan are way off base. Satan is Allah!! The new mantra from them is that after they conquer the world there will be peace. No! Satan would not allow it. He will have them slaughtering each other untill all are dead. That is his desire. To destroy God's creation. The war is physical but also spiritual. That is why Chrisitanity and Judaism are banned in Muslim countries - Satan fears us.

Religion whether organized or not is still religion. Jesus was not religious, as a matter of fact the only ones that He rebuked were the religious and satan. You see religion is man's efforts to reach God and Jesus is God's way that reached man.
Hallelulia!
Yes every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord!

Religion doesn't kill people.

People kill people.

Will the real Islam please stand up...please stand up....please stand up?

Amen Tenneseean!! God bless you

Bin Laden and Taliban are in Pakistan, not Afganistan. They are in Pakistan because it is a safe haven for them. We are barred (by Pakistan) from going in after them. We CAN NOT turn Pakistan into a war zone because they are a nuclear power and a powder keg all by themselves.

is it not strange that the article is about Pakistan and Islam and none of the comments come from Muslims or Pakistanis the article tells us about the threat to christens in the tribal area bordering Pakistan and Afghanistan. It is a no mans land , neither the mighty British nor the Pakistanis have any control over it, so if any stupid went ahead with threats to christens in that area , well it is really a jungle out there....and please there are hardly any christens living in that area nor has there any church ever been built there.
as for the rest of the Pakistan, which is double the size of state of California, Muslims and Christens have always lived there happily together and still. there is no hatred of any kind between them rather there is a respect and love(which only seeing is believing). i was told by my mother that Islam says Jesus Christ was a true messenger of God and that Mary was a virgin and Islam taught us that both Jesus and Mary had to be loved and respected before we could extend our reverence for Muhammad,
i cannot forget the kisses of my christen teachers when i was an elementary school student in Convent of Jesus and Mary school Sialkot Pakiatan. and we welcomed our our brothers christen wife with both arms wide open
of course those who want to trade hatred are found on both sides of the line,let them do their job but please do not be blown away by their ugly message.

Sounds similar to the Christian logic of either "accepting" Christ or going to hell. Christians may actually be getting a taste of their own medicine

Najaf Mahmud

I totally agree with what you have noted here. I am from Peshawar, Pakistan (Settled Area) which the at the border of Khyber Agency (Tribal Area) and I have gone through exactly the same life style.

People on this Blog are talking about the places they never went to and they just have very limited & biased info through these news agencies that are filling the brains of people with wrong information & propagenda.

"is it not strange that the article is about Pakistan and Islam and none of the comments come from Muslims or Pakistanis the article tells us about the threat to christens in the tribal area bordering Pakistan and Afghanistan.

There is an awful lot of finger-pointing and commentary about how Christians are 'getting theirs' in this thread. Lines are being drawn between political contingencies, religious sects (in which I include atheists), and nationalities. Conflict serves to divide; peace to unify. What is it about human nature that prevents us from an ethos of 'live and let live?' Why is it that we feel we can and should inform all others that we each have the correct answer, and this is how you all should live your lives? I encourage personal responsibility, and the non-prescriptive 'practicing of what one preaches.' I don't have the answer to all the atrocities, military conflict, and political dissidence in the world. But I have found it to be true that more effective than instructing people to do what I want, is to be what I want---extend peace, show compassion, especially towards those it's hardest to give to.

In response to "Posted by: servent | May 11, 2007 11:38:39 AM"

Oh do us all a favor and leave the doomsaying to your fellow wackos on street corners with cardboard signs, huh? You Christian fundies have been crying that the sky is falling and the world is going to end for over a thousand years. And every time you see "signs" that the world's going to end the world manages to keep humming right along, completely oblivious to your Schedule-O-Doom.

And tell me "servent", what about Jews like me that don't believe Christ was the Messiah since the Golden Gate hasn't opened and the time of Reckoning has not yet come to pass? What of us? Are we still God's chosen people as the Old Testament described? Or do your New Testament trump that and therefore relegate Jews to Hell because we don't believe in Christ?

Yeah, see there? Makes you wild-eyed Christians look just as nutty as those Taliban nutjobs when you look at it that way. Stop all the doomsaying and froth-mouthed-finger-shaking-in-our-faces admonishment for having a different religious viewpoint. Your beliefs are no more or less valid than mine or anyone else's, we just have a right to choose our own path to God and should be left to it, whether you're Christian or Taliban.

What has happened? Has the devil been kicked out of heaven and has God refused to let him back in that the evil one is now on the warpath? Fools will never understand the enormity of what is taking place, so I will not concern myself with them. The Bible says they will die and without wisdom, so I will pay no attention to atheists and doubt-spreaders. Bush has abandoned the South Korean Christians to their deaths and the Muslims are scratching their heads wondering what he is really all about? How could a Christian not care about Christian hostages? I've said it before and I'll say it again, Bush is not a Christian and has betrayed the Religious Right and will continue to do so. Christians must stop trusting in him and trust in their Lord God Almighty and in his Son Jesus Christ. By the time they figure it out though it might be too late. There is no way to avoid the end of this age, Christ will come and take over, and begin an eternal reign of justice and peace. Mankind has proven it is more interested in destroying than building. Forget about evil men reaching the stars with rocketships, the meek must inherit the earth and that will be all. Jesus said we shall be hated by all nations because of his name, this is not a horrible thing, it is instead an honor to be treasured.
