Why is it that when 2.000 Americans are killed on 9/11, conservatives like Pat Robertson and George Phelps say that it is a 'sign from God' that he is angry we are accepting homosexuals, and yet, when it turns out 1.6 billion people follow Islam, that's just the devil's working, and God has no part in that.

Because God likes American "christians" and I guess jews, people of other religions and some other atheists who congregated in the WTC more than he does the Muslims.
Just the fact that God "allowed" that to happen to the US must BE a SIGN! and the sign is
join the bandwagon and join Islam I guess!

Interesting question. Very interesting indeed.
If you will take account of your daily life, you will see that we have free will and free choice.
You can walk into a store and steal a bar of chocolate or you can pay for it and leave or you can leave without buying anything.
YOu can be there to wish the guy a hello and a good day and leave. There are various reasons and the decision you make on that point is your free choice.
So you can commit sin or you can be good.
In the same context there is good and evil
there is thievery or not
there is murder or not
there is rape or not
and there is restraint or not.
You are allowed to choose whatever you think is your choice is.
That does not mean you have not sinned. Sinners are everywhere. We can make excuses for 2000 americans or we can make excuses for 1.6 billion muslims.
2000 americans are not sinners. They died because of someone else's actions.
1.6 billion muslims? I leave the choice to you.
All I would like to say is that they have killed millions in my country, stolen our country, raped our women and murdered our people. They have called us infidels whilst living in our country and eating off our tax payers money.
I have nothing more to say about your choice of the 1.6 billion muslims who kill people in the name of their Allah.
And they go about saying they are done with the blame game?
I am a hindu and will never make the choice of being a muslim.

No double standards God does not pick out a group of people like
liars,thieves,gays or Religious people to get angry with. God hates
SIN period.The time is near [my personal belief] when God is going to
deal with the sin sick world we live in again [God dealt with Sin one time
with a flood this time it will be fire] The most important thing is to be ready when Jesus comes.Get Born-Again through Faith in Jesus before
it is to late.God has made a way of escape through Believing in Jesus
Gods only Begotten Son.
In Christ in LOve,

You are pretty hard to understand, but are you saying that 1.6 billion Muslims is God's work???
If you make this claim, then would you also say that 1.7 billion Christians is also God's work???
Or maybe it is you with a double standard...

I've seen better double standards. 911 wasn't a sign from God, more like from Islam

I don't know about Phelps, but Robertson has problems Guy.
Don't pay him much mind.

Why is this a double standard? Are you familiar with the term "double standard?"
