This is what Ms. Albright (ex secretary of states) said when asked if the death of a half million Iraqi children is "worth it", replies: "I think this is a very hard choice, but the price--we think the price is worth it”. The massacre of innocent civilians does not ever seem to me to be worth it. What do you think of this mass terrorism and murder?

Answer 1

Only some bad apples spoils the whole basket and you can find such apples in every basket.Those baskets which have more visible spoiled apples, have to be rejected by the customers.

Answer 2

Throughout human history, whenever organized religion has had real political power, it has used that power to torture, rape, and murder.

Our Founding Fathers new this well and so there is no mention of religion, God, Jesus or Christianity anywhere in the US Constitution, effectively excluding it from playing a role in American government.

And, as part of a 1797 treaty, the young government passed the following amendment (emphasis added):

"As the Government of the United States...IS NOT IN ANY SENSE FOUNDED ON THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION--as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity of Musselmen--and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce" an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.

The Treaty, of which the amendment was part, was read aloud in Congress and printed in every major newspaper.

Congress passed it unanimously and without objection, and there is no record of a single person or group raising any objections to the amendment or its wording.

They were also fearful of a standing national military, and so structured the government so that a secular civilian would be Commander in Chief.

They were afraid of religion and/or the military gaining political power because they new it mean the end of freedom and democracy for the American people.

Answer 3

I don't hear many Christians commiting crimes in the name of Christianity. I don't usually turn on the news to see a Christian suicide bomber but whenever you see any crimes concerning a Muslim it's usually in the name of Islam which is something I don't understand if Islam is supposed to be a peaceful religion. Ms. Albright's statement is just stupid and misguided but not once does she mention that those murders are in the name of Christianity.

Answer 4

Ms Albright is misled. She has her own opinion and she has great influence that's why what she says seems to be the voice of Christianity WHEN THE TRUTH IS, IT IS NOT.

I have friends who are muslims and yet they are a peace loving bunch.

If you say that Christianity is to be blamed, you are also misled. As you yourself might say, There are but a few rotten apples who entered both religions and used the religion's name and destroy it along with their bad deeds.

If you see what real Christianity is, you would love it. Try to study the life and teachings of Issa Al Masih not from Quran but from Injeel, Torah, and Zabur. Real Christianity follow the teachings of Issa Al Masih.

Answer 5

Believers of almost every religion, not just christians, tell the lie that, "If you believe in our religion, you're a moral person", and when one of them commits a crime, they say he's "not a true christian", or he's "not a true muslim", etc.

By that argument, Mao and Stalin weren't true atheists either, so they must be christians or some other religion.

People of religious filth - oops, faith - are never willing to accept responsibility for the acts of their members. If they don't tell that lie, if they don't maintain that level of hypocrisy, then they would never be able to maintain their image, their numbers, or their stream of income.

Answer 6

manhattan is familiar as "manhattan" because of the fact previously a prominent human beings hero (Johnny Appleseed) planted a unmarried seed in the direction of the city. Then, in an odd warp in area-time, a boy named Jack planted a seed he believed to be magical in the comparable spot. In what remains seen a marveling organic and organic progression, the two seeds fused mutually on a molecular point. After an remarkable rain, the seed hybrid grew into an apple 300ft tall and approximatively 330ft huge. The strangest element being the absence of a tree. it form of feels the apple replaced into thoroughly well-known, different than it grew straight away from the floor with its own roots like a beanstalk of a few form. for some years to return, human beings might pass to the city and look up on the impossible fruit and think of "this is a tremendous apple". After a whilst human beings began concerning the city itself as "manhattan". yet then, 1943 Oct eleventh, some thing unusual got here approximately. because of the fact the city laid to kick back, the night as quickly as lower back upon them, there replaced right into a dazzling flash of purple gentle. The flash lasted for almost 4-5 seconds. no person is definite what led to the flash, yet as quickly because it replaced into over the apple had only disappeared. no longer purely had it vanished, the floor it had grown from had closed as though it have been in no way there. some say the apple had grown so tremendous it created some type of fruity supernova and collapsed in on itself in a black hollow. some say the extraterrestrial beings in charge for the loss of existence of the dinosaurs got here lower back and destroyed the apple besides. We could in no way be responsive to precisely what got here approximately that night, yet one element is for advantageous. That replaced right into a tremendous-*** apple.

Answer 7

It puzzles me now why Islamist militants bomb muslim countries also.. for what cause and purpose? Christians and non-Christians pray for world peace. Muslims and non-muslims desire peace. Before going to war and during war, non-muslim and muslim soldiers both at war with each other pray to the same God. Nobody knows exactly who God listens because both believe God is with them, and nobody has seen a hand of God sparring bullets and bombs away nor spanking or scolding or rebuking those He is displeased with.

Answer 8

Harrumph!

I don't blame either religion, personally. Don't imply I do, thanks.

And for what it is worth, no I don't believe murder is worth it, or terrorism et cetera.

Sometimes people war. However, too few cares have been taken to reduce 'collateral damage'.

Answer 9

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. The Muslims that I know don't seem to understand this concept.
Your answer is "only some bad apples."

Answer 10

Arabic is one of the few languages I can't read, so as far as I know, excluding the ones blatantly labelled in English, a mass herd of aliens could have come trampling down through there for all I know.

But (assuming all are pictures of Iraq), not all Americans are Christians. America is a diverse nation, permitting Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Wicca, Paganism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Shinto, Satanism, Devil worship, atheism, agnosticism, pantheism, Gnosticism, Ancestor worship, Spirit worship, Nature worship, and everything else imaginable.

To blame Christians for the actions of a non-Christian (and ever moreso secular) nation is a fallacy. It'd make just as much sense to blame Muslims for the actions of America.

The slaughter of children at American hands is not worth the removal of Saddam Hussein. However... how many of those children would have been slaughtered by Saddam anyway? There was no outcry by Muslims when he attempted to commit genocide against the Kurds. Why, then, is there an outcry when a few Arabs are killed because they were in the line of fire? Is the life of a single Arab child worth the lives of a hundred Kurdish children?

It is horrible to see anyone die. No one deserves to die at the hands of another person. But sometimes war is necessary to prevent the deaths of many more. I don't agree with war, I don't like war, but I recognize that it's necessary to uphold and instill peace.

And as to comparing 9/11 with Iraq... Jesus taught, "You have heard it said, 'love your neighbor but hate your enemy', but I say to you, love your enemy, and pray for those who would curse you"... whereas Muhammed taught, "Kill the unbelievers wherever you find them, and capture them and besiege them, and lie in wait for them in every strategem of war...".

Christians pray for the safety and well-being of Muslims, while they behead us in their countries... We feed and clothe the needy Muslims in their own country, and they accuse us of proselytizing by means of appealing to material needs... We give aid to Muslisms, and those in power steal it and use it for themselves, continuing to leave those in need, still needing... and both are doing as they were commanded to do. ...I don't see the Red Crescent helping out the victims of 9/11, but I do see the Christian Children's Fund helping the displaced families of Afghanistan.

Go figure.

Answer 11

All that I see is retaliation for attacks made against us. Stop the attacks and let us live our lives and the retaliation will stop. It is a horrible thing, but it seems to be what you want and are asking for. If we did not retaliate where would you stop? History indicates you wouldn't until you had wiped us off the face of this earth.
