When the suspect says "'I'm doing it in the name of Allah"
they could just as easily have said, Christ. You know how dangerous those radical American Christians can be.

Religion is a poor predictor of morality. Whenever you have masses of people basing their morality on superstition, it can be dangerous. They tend to follow, without question, any charismatic leader who appeals to their superstitious beliefs.

Because we are not God . Judging should be left to the almighty one. Do not judge unless you are ready to be judged. doing evil and radical things in the name of god only sets you up to have a few more bad things on your list when your in front of the one true Judge. And if you are in a religion that omits the blood of jesus than who will be your lawyer to vouch for you. You will certianly not enter the heavens. But also my belief based on the bible, that whoever omits the blood of christ will not enter the kingdom of God, do not give me the right to have hate toward people who think differently towards me. I feel sorry for any radically religious person. because they will not see the grace of my God.

...Yeah, we're a dangerous lot, we Christians. Here are some things to make you highly afraid:
...We love God supremely.
...We owe everyone the debt of love, counting ourselves last.
...We are called to honesty and faithfulness to our spouses.
...We are called to love our wives as Christ loved the church, and gave Himself up for it.
...We raise our children to be respectful, law-abiding members of society (Daniel Webster said, "Whatever makes a good Christian, makes a good citizen.") In love we discipline them when necessary, in obedience to God, and for their good.
...We work for justice, and desire that people to be held accountable for their actions. We would like to see criminals punished for their crimes, rather than be an imaginary victim of society.
...We are called to work with our hands, so we can share with others, and not steal.
...We tell others about the saving grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and hope we can win as many as possible for Him, before we die. He is God's only provision for sin, the only way to God, and the only way to miss hell.
...I recommend you take stock again, friend, and determine who your real enemies are. Come back to this planet.

Because that's called "hate-mongering". You know, when you take the actions of one person and try to paint an entire group of people with a huge, broad brush to blame them all for the actions of that one person?
How about we just "equate actions with actions".

God tells us (Christians at least) that we should obey the rulers over us even if they aren't good people. So if a Christian is disobeying the law, they're disobeying God. The only time this doesn't happen is when the political law contradicts a spiritual law.

When people say things like that, I think they are crazy!! I don't know of any God who teaches "hey, why don't you go blow some people up!" It just doesn't seem right somehow.

That is just a weak retarded excuse to murder an innocent child in the name of S.A.T.A.N.I.M.R.O.D.A.G.O.N.
