My posts are not made with the slightest concern as to what you or your peers may or may not think of me. On some things we agree, on some we dont. I do not agree, in this case, that the outrage is warranted.
With this in mind: That wasnt a lash. That was a comment that spies are executed in Yemen just like they are executed here. I am a bit tired of you and your colleagues looking overseas and posting critical remarks about problems over there without, again, cleaning out your own backyards. They do things differently over there. You may not think it is right but crucifixian is an accepted method of punishment by death penalty under the law.
Putting some poor schmuck in a chair, hooking electrodes up to him, and shocking him over and over while watching him twitch and vomit all over himself was taken.
I have nothing to do with Al Qaida. I lose as little sleep over some druggie getting his head chopped as you lose over some villager up in the pakastani mountains getting summarily executed with a random bomb. The druggie does get a chance to wash and pray before he sticks his neck out.
On the issue of fair trials. Do you to read a book called "Dreams of Ada" or even better a book called "The Innocent Man (more recommended because you will know the author, John Grisham) then come back to me and tell me about the fair trials given to those on death row right here. Nothing to do with religion, but about (4) innocent people put on death row by the same prosecuter.
Now lets talk about modern christians. You don't lose a single iota of sleep or express outrage or wave your standards of fairness when islamic 'extremists' who have never been to court and who are nowhere near America, Americans, or American interests get randomly blown to bits in some faraway overseas village. This is who and what you are NOW and TODAY and matches who and what you were THEN and in the PAST. You have much to say of trials and fairnesss only when some spies get executed by Muslims and nothing to say when Muslims get summarily executed on sight by bombs and guns. So this makes you any different from those who hacked their way through Jerusalem during the Crusades? I think not.
About your jewish buddies: Do you know who Rachel Corrie is? She is the girl from Washington State who was run down (then backed over) with a bulldozer by an Israeli soldior when she was protesting the bulldozing of homes in Gaza. Their comments: "There are no civilians in war".
Get this and this has nothing to do with religion Prax: In Texas we don't run over unarmed women with heavy machinery. If we need someone moved, we man up and move them. Not only do you not give "fair trials" to the "extremists" that are summarily executed around the world, you support outright murder of our own by your Jewish pals. That girl for SURE didnt get a trial but that's their law.
Summary: I still call the comments about the article hypocritical

Now from the News article this did indeed have to do with religion, the Islamic Religion you claim to follow
According to a report by Lebanon Today translated into English, the Yemeni jihadist group Ansar al-Shariah took control of the Azzan area of Yemen and imposed Islamic law, or Shariah.
In the process, the group crucified three men, accusing them of being agents for the U.S. The executions reportedly took place several months ago.
Former PLO operative turned terrorism analyst Walid Shoebat says the inscription in the photo of one of the victims reads, “He was crucified for three days in accordance to Shariah.”
“One they nicknamed ‘Captain’ was executed by crucifixion for three days at the entrance to the city of Jaar in the Abyan province, to be viewed by passersby entering and leaving the city.
Second, do you know the last time we executed a spy? First of all we have due process and rather than operating by mob rule and dragging someone off the street and executing them without a long judicial process designed to give them a FAIR trial.
“‘In Afghanistan, the ones who receive this type of executions are those who are considered spies. But in Yemen this is the first time we have seen such phenomenon, which has become a natural thing now because al-Qaida now exercises the powers of the state and it’s natural that it carries out such executions.”
So WII? Do you support Al Qaida because the previous islamic government was not crucifying people but now Al Qaida is? You clearly support beheading people for their crimes in a public display of brutal ,gruesome and bloody justice.
Oh, and what kind of person would point to the people in Israel as the ones that crucified Jesus? That is absolutely asinine. You've got to be kidding. The crucifixion occurred nearly 2000 years ago. We don't approve of crucifixion. But it was His death that cleanses us from sin and made the covenant with God. How he died is irrelevant to us.
We celebrate His willing submission to God and the Roman authorities to put him to death, not the method.
We view what happened to Jesus as equally brutal, gruesome and bloody as your Islamic methods of justice.
Oh and before you go comparing how the church USED to be, just remember that is how the church USED to be. We don't approve of such methods either, but you Islamists are stuck in that age.
It's people like you WII, that causes the fear, irrational or deserved, of Islamics here in America, for fear they will try to impose your Sharia laws |
