Re: Can A Muslim Be A Good American???
 
i think a muslim can be a good american, his faith doesnt make him a jihadist, his extreme views do if he has them, so yes is the answer, dt

SO: How many christians executed for any reason in saudi arabia in 2009? none. How many killed randomly right back in the good ole US of A? thousands. Does motive matter? Is not the victim just as dead? The poster claimed "name a place that is dangerous to live...." and the places are neatly listed in order of their "dangerousness". In developed countries Saudi and Qatar are dead last. They happen to be (2) of the most conservative muslim countries out there. The numbers do not support the "dangerousness" claim.

No matter how many "muslims" sell liquor in their stores or turn poppy seed into goodies the liquor still tends to find its way down the gullets and the dope up the noses of "christian" countries. Which means - until your own backyard is cleaned up and YOUR neighborhoods are down at #62 then it would probably be a good idea to set up a mirror and determine what changes need to be made to make the image that mirror look better before publicly puking this smelly nonsense.

Summary: What you think or feel actually has no bearing on factual data. When one's beliefs fall outside the realm of factual information then these beliefs are known as delusions. LOL....

Curious? Why you're selective of some data from such infidels as myself, but reject others. And VOM is not a paid site.

As I said, data is published and is readily available from secular sites, for free. These secular sites merely publish various statistics from around the world and they are not sorted into, spun into, or formulated into political or religious agendas. They also do not profit, as your VOM site does, by selling stories of suffering. You offered the site. I checked it. It is not worth even $5 to me to buy their booklet, prayer map, or "brief description of countries".

On the other hand, the poster, who is noticably absent, proposed a relationship between "dangerousness" and Islam.

Direct quote: Name a place where it is dangerous to live, and islam is there.

Places to live were listed in order of published "dangerousness". Since neither you nor the poster bothered to list them I took the time to research them and listed them for you. Now, feel free to add something, elaborate, or explain the posted link. Or just admit you don't have anything valuable to offer that is good about your faith and you feel that there is more value in bashing the faith of others. Choose. Either way, as stated earlier, there is the data, it is neither political nor religious, and the sources are published and readily available on google or your search engine of choice.

And VOM is not a paid site.

From VOM website:

VOM's Persecuted Church Global Report 2010

Believers in hostile and restricted nations never fail to ask us to pray for them. But how do we pray? What are their needs? Use this booklet and prayer map as a window into their world. Each entry includes a brief description of a country where Christians suffer for their faith. Also included are photos and testimonies of persecuted believers. The global report also comes with a fold-out prayer map for the wall. This is an excellent resource for learning about persecution around the world. Join our brothers and sisters by interceding for them today.

What I meant was, why do you accept the words/sources/data of infidels who are living in the country which is considered to be "The Great Satan (America)" on some occasions, but not others (e.g. VOM, Christian sources)? As to the booklet, I was merely referring to the scores of instances of persecution under Islamic regimes which can be seen on the website for free?

(laughing) I did not use or even imagine these terms (infidel?, "great satan"?)

The data cross-references between various sources. Applying your data which after all is a collection of news stories for the purpose of raising money has exactly the same value and meaning as posting "name a place where it is dangerous for little boys to live and a christian minister is there" with the attached (so many new stories coming out arent they capn TP?) news stories to back up the claim.

Posting such claims in response is amusing but not realistic. Your site is interesting but the numbers dont really back up the claims do they sport?

The answer is the same. The reason is that when researching statistics it is best to obtain them from sources that do not have a vested interest in the outcome. Call it "honest research" if you want to. Paying for numbers from an anti-Muslim website is no different from posting numbers from an anti-christian website. I did neither.
