Question

Please leave comment as to how you feel about this statement made on ABC's the View!!!! Her co hosts were shocked by her comment. Should a public apology be made?

Answer 1

Rosie, is another apologist moral equivalist with no idea of what she is talking about...

Islamic Apologists like her Lo-o-ove to point out Timothy McVeigh or Eric Rudoplh, etc. as examples of Christian terrorists, but here's a surprise for. There are 3 reasons why McVeigh and Rudolph or even Pat Robertson are not equivalent to Bin Laden or Zaqawi..

1. They did not even attempt to justify their actions by reference to Christian Sculpture or tradition.
2. They Were Not acting on mainstream Christian Teachings.
3. There are not large Christian groups around the world dedicated to implementing the same teachings.

The difference between Osama Bin laden and Pat Robertson is the difference between aberrant acts and aberrant teachings. Any human being with a belief system can do horrible things. But abominable acts are more likely to come in greater numbers and frequency when they are encourages and perpetrated by religious texts and those that teach from them.


Let's see you moral equivalists come up with a list that rivals this...

Answer 2

She's absolutely spot on. I come from Belfast in Northern Ireland. Christians here have been bombing and shooting each other for years, due to differences between their brands of Christianity....Catholicism Vs Differing Brands of Protestantism. Of course it should be noted that both sides will say it's due to political differences but it's religion. Every year the Pope's image is burned by Protestants and violence constantly erupts. So where's the difference between these Radical Christians and Radical Muslims. Size just?

Answer 3

You shouldn't give too much thought to a show that major conflicts and debates are discussed and passed around in 50 seconds or less. The statement however is a little extreme. I don't understand why in the world that a show that really tries to capture a audience comprised by part of stay at home moms who are Christians would let the reckless debate go unchecked.

But in the end you shouldn't be surprised, she basically tried to tar and feather Tom Selleck on her old show about the NRA.

Answer 4

If you murder it dosen't matter in whose name you do it. Radicals of all persuasions are unbalanced by definition. What good would an apology do? Many people in this country aren't happy with the takeover of the Religious Right. Not that they are murderers, but that they think theirs is the only way and if you disagree they have the right to harass you into heaven. Not a pleasant way to spend an afternoon.

Answer 5

I'm glad someone is there to counter that vacant Hasselbeck girl. Ever heard of the Inquisition? The Crusades? The assassination of Dr. Gunn? Fred Phelps? Bosnia?

Radical anything is bad.

Answer 6

Ummm... Rosie O'Donnell... Why does each and every physique take this person heavily? Her communicate coach bombed large time (probable to no longer long after she blind sided Tom Selleck for his help of the NRA), her mag is kaput... and that they get her to be between the hosts of "The View"... could inform you the way heavily we could constantly be taking the coach. in any case - "radical Christians" are the comparable as terrorists. O.ok. - factor out each and all the terrorist events that those "radical Christians" are appearing interior the U.S.? there grew to become right into a on an identical time as while abortion clinics have been being bombed - yet that grew to become into on no account as huge unfold by way of fact the phobia which you spot occurring in places like Israel and Iraq. additionally, the assaults against abortion clinics have been in particular concentrated against the clinics, sometimes against the docs. Terror assaults are directed at people usually, and places are picked for his or her perceived "scare cost" in affecting the final public. Bombing abortion clinics is a ability to end abortions from occurring by making use of unfavorable or destroying the actual medical institution - to no longer scare people from going to the abortion clinics. on an identical time as i'm undecided, i'd be keen to wager that abortion clinics that have been bombed got here approximately at circumstances while they weren't occupied - back, distinctive from terrorists who want to kill people. additionally, O'Donnell is in fact equating "radical Christians" with the militia, and the government as an entire - it incredibly is a defective premise - there are individuals of the militia of all faiths - even atheists - which you will accuse them of all being "radical Christians" is somewhat faulty. there is likewise no evidence that the militia, or the government for that rely, is principally bombing harmless civilians - in Iraq, or the different usa for that rely. And what international places would those be - i'd desire to a minimum of understand the assertion (nevertheless i think of that is stupid) if she mentioned Iraq, or Afghanistan - yet she did no longer - she mentioned "different international places". My advice - overlook approximately something popping out of Rosie O'Donnells mouth - that is all rubbish.

Answer 7

Yeah, well, everyone knows she is a militant bull dyke and she is going to call it as she sees it.
She has a right to her opinion. Why would you even want to be protected from other people's opinions? Don't you want to know? That's pretty courageous of her. She doesn't care what anyone thinks or who she offends.
I don't agree with her at all, I think it's an overexaggerated and extreme opinion and I'm sure most of the population feels the same--liberals and conservatives...
This is America! I say Let Freedom Ring!

Answer 8

Why? What she said is perfectly accurate. What's the difference? A radical is a radical, no matter what religion they are. Not all muslims are radical, not all christians are radical. What's the problem? What she said was completely UN-RACIST. Ted Kaczynski (the unibomber) was Christian, and a radical. Timothy McVeigh (Oklahoma City bomber) was a Christian and a radical. Are you suggesting that what they did isn't as bad because they are christian radicals and not muslim? Rosie is right. A RADICAL IS A RADICAL, NO MATTER THEIR RELIGION!

Answer 9

I think the point that she was trying to make is that there is something fundamentally wrong with ANY radical or extremist religious movement or group.

Both Christians and Muslims througout history have done their share of killing in the name of religion. At one time they used swords and shields and now it's bombs and guns but both came with the same end result.

Each side has it's own share of liars, theives, murderers or worse. Unfortunately for all of us, these people are the ones making decisions that kill multitudes of innocent people on both sides of the coin.

Let us not forget that.

Answer 10

I take offense to that comment. The Christian faith doesn't advocate killing people. There may be some radical people out there who harm others and who happen to be Christians, but please don't lump everyone together. Do you know that now the Muslims are stating they will take revenge on all people who worship the cross in there religion because of the Pope's comments? So now they are going to kill nuns and ransack churches because of one man's comments. Be careful, you might be targeted next and you had nothing to do with it. Sad and scary! Judge not- lest you be judged!

Answer 11

Entertainers, actors and athletes did not make their fame and fortune because of their intellect. I try hard to never listen to them and definitely discount everything the say, as it is ALWAYS STUPID.

Now when they say something like this I make certain to tell the sponsors of the shows they are on that I disapprove and will not be buying their products as long as that person is on. Surprisingly enough this works and Rosie will be gone again pretty soon.

I refuse to spend any money on entertainers, actors and athletes if they voice a political or religious opinion and will NEVER see them again. I pay them to entertain not spout their personal beliefs.

Americans are so stupid to listen to these idiots.
