Interesting photos, thanks.

Although I completely oppose the idea of attacking Iran--and opposed
the
invasion of Iraq--I find the choice of musical accompaniment rather
interesting, since the convert-to-Islam version of Cat Stevens came
out
in
public support of the fatwa calling for the murder of Salman Rushdie.
Not
the action of a peace activist, hmmm?


Rushdie is still alive and making public appearances. The Fatwa was a
symbolic gesture. If they were serious, he would not have lasted a
day.
Britain has a great many Muslims and I'm sure one would have gotten the
job
done.

Rushdie lived in hiding for years, protected by the British government.

The fatwa was evil, and Cat Stevens showed just how vicious he was by
publicly supporting it.



But... islime is the religion of piece.. a piece of this country and
a piece of that country..

submit or die

Submit to the love of Christ or suffer the purification of the flames.

convert or die..

Convert to Christ and still die. Convert now before we kill you so that you
can enter the kingdom of God. But we're still going to kill you regardless.
That was once known as Christian compassion. Just as Montezuma.

So about as peaceful as Christianity, actually much more so when you
consider the millions of people and civilizations wiped out by the
Spaniards, the Inquisition (what a show) our own destruction of the native
populations to clear the land for the manifest destiny (aka God's will) of
Christian settlers and of course interfaith warfare just to name a couple.
Hardly a stellar record of peace and compassion. Ever see a protestant in
an Irish pub? No? There's a reason for that.

When you look at the scope of just the numbers, well Christianity has been
far more reaching, far more destructive and far more dangerous to the world.
An undeniable fact but one always forgotten by Christians.
