If we cannot judge all Christians based on the actions of Bush then why we judge Muslims based on Bin Ladens ?

Question

actions.............

SCAPEGOATING = A tactic often employed is to characterize an entire group of individuals according to the unethical or immoral conduct of a small number of individuals belonging to that group, also known as guilt by association.

The Jews were scapegoated and singled out in Nazi propaganda during the 20th century.

Answer 1

You know? I can just not remember the time that G. W. has ordered that kids strap on bombs to blow up Muslims.
Or for that matter, any plot by the Prez. to send commercial airplanes flying into Mecca during Ramadan.
Comparing Osama to Bush? Not quite.
What you are really missing is the undertheme of the whole Muslim-infidel-West archenemy thing.
Both side are benefit ting from this stoking of hatreds on several levels. First of all, let us think of collective control through the propaganda reaped by the both sides.
In Muslim countries, they have the west to blame for all of their sufferings, their dirt floor homes, their shoddy construction which collapses and kills tens of thousands in a minor earthquake, and the generally pet-rid quality of life they must endure because of the economic isolation foisted on them by their own radical leaders.
In the West, we have diminished rights of personal freedoms, a government that is using the "war on terror' as a blank check to line the pockets of the 'no-bid' contractors of which they are mostly silent partners of.
Then, they can also manipulate the stock market, and oil-prices by using the 'instability' of the middle east, as a reason for their outrages gouging of fuel costs. (Totally confident that the average American will never check to find out that only 30% or less of their oil actually comes from the Middle East).
Then, with their contracting for arms, food for the troops and other logistical support (which they bill the American public at a no holds barred premium), continue to fleece the hard working people of the US, and keep them at each other's throats with the long standing 'distraction' tactics of bringing up the emotional (yet irrelevant issues by means of the government will never really do anything about them) such as 'gay marriage', illegal immigrants, or race based topics.

Answer 2

I don't. Nor do I think anyone should. True Muslims are peaceful people... it's the terrorists that are of Muslim descent that make all Muslims look bad. I find it ironic that the terrorist call themselves Muslims and then go and kill people because they don't like the way we live...meaning not just the US but other countries as well. I think Bin Laden is not mentally all there and I think part of this is his way of getting back at the US for using the terrorists to fight Russia back in the 80's or was that the 90's(?) and taking the fall for the US. I also believe that he has liver failure and needs dialysis and some country or countries have been taking care of that for him...hmmm wonder who that could be beside Pakistan and Afghanistan. Just a thought, would like you know what you think of that!

Answer 3

I don't judge Muslims based on bin laden. And I certainly hope that people are not judging all Christians based on bush. You have good and bad in all religions, races and cultures. I try never to judge a person on those things. In every race, religion or culture, it is what they do that makes them bad, not who they are, or as you say guilty by association. If that were the case, people would not know what to think of me. I associate with all types of diverse people, of different faiths, religions, non belief, races, and cultures. I find different people interesting, and most have good character.

Answer 4

The christians that do support bush should be judged.
The muslims that do support Bin Laden should be judged.

If christians don't want to be associated with Bush, they should be the ones whose protest should be the loudest.

If muslims don't want to be associated with Osama, they should be the ones whose protest should be the loudest.

In either cases, the protest is sadly not very loud.

Answer 5

If Bush was a man of "truth", he would not behave the way that he does...........

As for the Muslims and Bin Laden, I can't answer that since I am not familiar with their religious beliefs....except that like Christendom, they also have different denominations with the religion.

Answer 6

Fair question but unfair comparison !!!

The Holy books of both are definitely not comparable!!!

Christianity had nothing to do with advocating Nazi philosophy !!!

German christians woke up to late !!!

So let us never go to sleep again !!!

We should only be careful of the muslims who read their 'Holy' book !!! And not the others !!??

Who are you defending the jews or the muslims !!!
That is not clear !!! Twisted question !!!

Answer 7

we are not to judge anyone. We are not God. I had a cousin that was killed in the 9/11 attacks but I only blame the ones that did it. And yes I do forgive them even though I don't understand how they could do such a thing but God knows.

Answer 8

We don't, but Bin Laden has followers and supporters from the Muslim faith. Not all Muslims follow or support him, but there is a huge following, and it is their purpose in life to kill all infidels. Many Imams teach young children that the most important thing they can do is to blow themselves up in a suicide mission against an infidel.

Sounds like child abuse to me. Just strap explosives on a kid and send him into a group of infidels and 'wham'.

Answer 9

Valid point actually. America is by nature biast. What you really need to ask yourself is how and why Bush is mixing church and state and encouraging the classification of Muslims as followers of Bin Laden and terrorists. In all honesty, we are in the middle of a religious war. Christian America vs. Islam

Answer 10

You can not accuse the winner or the stronger side. You could speak logically only if muslims were stronger than christians.
