1. Apparantly people are really upset about this but she

is absolutely correct....and the truth hurts...the Repugs don't want to hear it....they conveniently forget about the Crusades... and all of the other attrocities committed by Christians....don't get me wrong many other religions have done the same type of crusades, murder and torture....

What's wrong with calling an orange an orange? The neocons keep trying to move the conversation away from the truth..

[az chela]

2. Altho I am not really crazy about Rosie I have to agree with her

She is absolutelty right,the churches have held people prisoners for thousands of years!!! Woman were alway disrespected and considered chattel.More violence and death has been caused because of religious beliefs than any war.
Without radical religious beliefs there would not be all the hatred.

3. let's see--the "army of god" is better than islamic jihadists how, eactlly

[JI7]

4. i hate that stupid freeper bitch, Iraq did not fund 9/11

dumb ignorant ass bitch. is there any way we can send info to Rosie to help out with some points on things ?

[az chela]

6. The View has a web site where you can email the women

on the show.I quit watching it after they hired that dumb bitch Elizabeth,she makes me so sick

[JI7]

8. good, i didn't see the entire clip

but when that idiot started off on those nations funding or supporting terrorism i would have liked for Rosie to respond with the fact that Iraq had nothing to do with it, and yet we have bombed and killed many people there including many American soldiers being killed as a result.

10. when the freeper bitch said

"but radical Christians aren't bombing us!"

Rosie should have said "what about the Olympic bombings in Atlanta... and the abortion clinic
bombings... and a case could be made that the Murrow Building in Oklahoma was a direct result of
radical Christian groups (retribution for Waco)".

5. Who cares?

No one watches those shows.

[Bozita]

7. The biggest non-target of the politically correct is Christianity

Rosie's right.

[az chela]

9. they hide behind their religious beliefs but inside they are mostly

very evil people who care about money,sex and power.

11. As usual, Rosie got it wrong

While I do not support the actions of the xtian fundies, they are by and large fringe groups whose agenda is no where near as extreme as the Islamic fundies who are the main stream of Islam today.

Both bad, but one much worse than the other. Sort of like comparing saturated fats and strychnine

[JI7]

12. but when the President of the United States is a Christian Fundie

it does matter. especially since he is responsible for the deaths of many people in a nation that never attacked us.

[melnjones]

14. I disagree...

Christian extremists may not strap bombs to themselves, but that doesn't mean they don't cause great damage in covert ways. That's what is often so insidious about it...it doesn't always look bad on the outside. And I'm saying that as a Christian minister.

15. So let's let it get to the same scale before we admit it's a problem

:eyes:

I would like to see some statistical analysis done, because I have a feeling that a woman or a queer (or a queer woman) in the US is much more likely to be a victim of radical christian terrorism than they are radical Islamic terrorism.

Furthermore, Liberal ME nations seem to keep falling prey to the western world, almost exclusively due to rw idiology. I would remind you that Afghanistan was quite progressive and women held positions of authority and respect before the west began politics there. Iraq was a secular society before we decided to bring them "democracy & freedom", and lets not forget that we just aided another nation with bombing to hell and back one of the most liberal of the ME nations, Lebanon. Meanwhile, we trade arms with Saudi Arabia & Pakistan, both of which supplied people whom attacked us on 911 and both of which are ultra conservative--meaning they mix their religion with politics (such an effective way to control people).

The problem isn't Islam--or christianity, the problem is conservatism/rw idiology. Because christianity hasn't been named as the official state religion yet you shouldn't get on your high horse thinking that we are not well on our way to getting there.

It's like watching someone smoke meth for the fifth time. They may not be missing teeth, be withered away to a skeleton, or be picking sores on their skin yet, but you know what lays down the road that they are on, and you know that if they are in denial they will never be able to change course.
