Indeed, you had a psycho in your military. Which is not the same as an ethnic group. Don’t forget that you also have thousands of American Muslims who serve in your army, and who are willing to die for their country in Iraq and Afghanistan. Many of them already did.

Did you propose a civil war against Christians after the bombing committed by Timothy McVeigh in Oklahoma ?

So what? The point is that many Americans do.

Ender: However, you did not originally offer the argument in terms of ‘dehumanizing’ behavior, you offered a direct comparison to Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler. You now bring a second argument (the American South during the period known as ‘Jim Crow’) to make the ‘dehumanizing’ point…

So because I didn’t actually use the term “dehumanizing” and bring up the Jim Crow south, I can’t introduce these things while expanding on what I posted? Are you serious?

Ender: You refer to Numbers 33 in referencing the issue of ‘I also know some individuals of Christian and Jewish faiths who aren’t plotting to convert/enslave/kill me. Does that make them less-than-faithful members of the religion?’ I presume you refer to the tail end of the chapter…

Do you think Christians and Jews who don’t stone to death blasphemers, adulterers, disobedient children and sabbath breakers are “less-than-faithful members of the religion?”

2b) I do not believe the vast majority of American Muslims are plotting to enslave and kill you. Leaving aside the fact that most of them don’t know you exist…

Do you believe the vast majority of American Muslims are plotting to enslave and kill nonMuslims?

Ender: I do not believe they (Mormons) are plotting to enslave and kill you either.

Do you believe Mormons are plotting to kill nonMormons?

Ender: I fail to see that the entire group is being scapegoated; what I see publicly is that some are calling for watchfulness with regard to those who have, by word or action, made it clear their allegience to their faith takes precedence over their allegience to their country in a case where the two allegiences are incompatible.

Of course it is scapegoating to say that, in the wake of a tragedy like 9/11, all Muslims must “prove” their loyalty. It was scapegoating when it was done to Japanese Americans after Pearl Harbor, and it’s scapegoating when it’s done to Muslims today.

For God’s sake learn some history.

Ender: From what I have seen regarding Jose Efrain Rios Montt, he represents another case of a Political Gamesmanship hiding behind a veil of faith.

No doubt many Muslims would like to believe the same about Osama bin Laden. Sorry, but saying “he’s not a real Christian” when, in response to a request for examples of Christian killers, is a self-serving cop-out.
