Actually, I think the way he governs is pretty much in line with that faith/philosophy, though he would never openly admit it.

Why do you think that? We've had tons of socialist-type programs in this country before Obama, and will have the same ones after.

Who is in charge of Egypt right now?

Not the "people" if that is what you are suggesting.

Seemingly all of his rhetoric is nothing more than class warfare, pitting the helpless and oppressed poor against the evil rich. He routinely talks of "fairness," "fair share," and "giving back," which are all indicative of his philosophy.

The strongest political party in Egypt right now is the Muslim Brotherhood. Libya will be no different.

This statement serves no other purpose than to be inflammatory. It is completely irrelevant to the discussion.

It was in response to another statement that is totally irrelevant to the discussion. If someone is going to start preaching in the thread. I am going to respond.

Interesting that you didn't find his comment "inflammatory".

Can anyone here validate that the Muslim faith is not an oppressive religion?

[sanfran22]

You implied it by quoting mrveggieman's comment about Bin Laden with a response that "whole nations of people" follow that theory. That is not an assumption on my part. That is what you said. The implication was clear.

What is my "type"?

"True" and "God" do not belong in the same sentence. Talk about assumptions.

So Countless millions of people do not wish the destruction of Israel? The downfall of the US?

And yes, true God is relevant, you will find out one day.

Where in there does it say anything about governing the country or taking us back to jim crow?

Did you conveniently ignore the part where the article talked about fallwell preached that segregation was god's plan and that he was open about his racism until it was no longer socially acceptable? It is a known fact that fallwell and pat robertson were close friends and share a lot of the same views. Robertson was once a republican presidential canidate. Would it not be a stretch that if fallwell or robertson had their way that we would not go back to the days of jim crow?

I didn't think it was meant to flame. Yours appeared to have been meant do so.

Christians would not allow that to happen. Let's not talk in hypotheticals, though, let's talk in facts. Is there a Muslim government in the world that is not outwardly oppressive of non-Muslims and minorities of all types?
