Thread: Media bais towards islam.

Ok so everyone is bashing islam when christianity still has a higher body count and is still worse when it comes to aristocracys.
Christian terrorism- How come this isnt reported? Lets not forget ethnic cleansings that happened.
October 2, 2004- Christian terrorist group kills 44 Hindus, wounds 118 in Northeast India.[citation needed] [1]
2003- Preacher Michael Evans calls for a holy war and "cleansing" against non-Christians.[citation needed]
January 16, 1997- Christian Identity terrorist Eric Robert Rudolph bombs nightclub. [citation needed]
July 27, 1996- Christian Identity terrorist Eric Robert Rudolph bombs Centennial Olympic Park. Kills 1, wounds 111.
1983- Posse Comitatus militia member Gordon Kahl kills two Federal marshals in North Dakota. Three others were wounded.[citation needed]
1978- Christian cult "the Peoples' Temple" leader Jim Jones allegedly kills 913 people with cyanide-laced Kool Aid. People trying to escape the compound are shot.[citation needed]
1976- Nearly 300 people are killed in Ireland as a result of bombings between Catholics and Protestants.[citation needed]
1940s- Terrorist organization Christian Identity is formed on the West Coast of the United States. Followers believe Armageddon will take place as a race war between Aryans, the "pure" people, against Jews, Muslims, and non-whites.

Christian terrorism in the United States
In the United States, arson, firebombing and vandalism of abortion clinics, along with harassment of clinic employees and patrons have been cited as examples of terror tactics employed by anti-abortion extremists. Occasionally the perpetrators have been self-proclaimed Christians.
Eric Rudolph, for example, engaged in terrorist activities closely associated with Christian terrorism, such as the targeting of abortion clinics and the bombing of a gay nightclub; also, Rudolph had been suspected to be associated with the Christian Identity organization. While Rudolph has himself denied such associations, writing that he "prefers Nietzsche to the Bible", he has clearly said "I was born a Catholic, and with forgiveness I hope to die one."[1][2]
Many abortion opponents attempt to blame these acts of violence on individuals who have little regard for human life and groups which they view are separate from the pro-life movement or any Christian church.[3]
Lets not forget Iraq, Afghanistna, Lebanon, Palestian, jordan, syria, egypt, libya. Any war can be ideologiezed saying that christians attacked this religion because now everyone is saying that because a suicide bomber is muslim they did it because of religion well i could say this christian american soldier killed this guy for being muslim.

Well, for one, the list (from 1979-present) you gave is nowhere near the amount of deaths Muslim extremists have caused since 1979. Plus, these extremists targeted a specific sector of our community, not the entire community. Muslim extremists plan(more specifically Al-Zawhari and Bin Laden's Fatwa from 1998) is to wipe out every American on the planet. There are also a lot more terrorist organizations that are affiliated with the Muslim religion than the Christian religion. Their members are also much greater. For example, from 1998-2001, it is believed that Al-Qaeda, just one Muslim terrorist organization, recruited and trained 20,000 Muslims to kill Americcans.

yes but Christians have still caused more deaths. Why not bash christianity as mutch? Whats with teh growing media bais? Ah show me proof they want all americans dead. Hezbollah has said they have no problem with america only with israel and what htey have done to palestians. It is believed, you have no proof of it. You only believe, just like america belives the 50-100 thousand people they have in gitnamo bay are terrorists, oh wait thats right they are wrong and released 50 thousand of them.

There were 50,000 people in Gitmo? That's funny considering the maximum capacity for Gitmo is less than 1000. The amount of people held generally is around 660. Even the highest approximation of people held has never passed 800. And that is from Al-Jazeera. I thought they released a number closer to 143. Where did you learn your math?

Here is your proof, an excerpt of the fatwa made in 1998 by Bin Laden and Al-Zahwahiri. Please research things like this before you make ridiculous claims.

The ruling to kill the Americans and their allies--civilians and military--is an individual duty for every Muslim who can do it in any country in which it is possible to do it, in order to liberate the al-Aqsa Mosque and the holy mosque from their grip, and in order for their armies to move out of all the lands of Islam, defeated and unable to threaten any Muslim. This is in accordance with the words of Almighty God, "and fight the pagans all together as they fight you all together," and "fight them until there is no more tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in God."
....
We -- with God's help -- call on every Muslim who believes in God and wishes to be rewarded to comply with God's order to kill the Americans and plunder their money wherever and whenever they find it. We also call on Muslim ulema, leaders, youths, and soldiers to launch the raid on Satan's U.S. troops and the devil's supporters allying with them, and to displace those who are behind them so that they may learn a lesson.
.....


If you want to take into account the last 2000 years, yes the Christians have caused more damage. But, since none of the people are alive, let's discuss recent history. You know, the kind where people that participated are still breathing? Your claim holds about as much credit as a black man using the white man held slaves as his defense for murdering a white man.
Basically, it's complete crap.

Haha i dont believe its complete crap. CHristians use the suicide bombers as a excuse of intolerance towards muslims. Christians use 9/11 to murder arabs. How is it any diffrent? Ah so what al queda, im not talkign about them. Im talking about hezbollah.

Guantanmo bay-
Thousands of detainees remain in indefinite military detention in US custody in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantánamo Bay. Congress has failed these detainees and their families.
That means more then a hundred, redew ur math smart one. WHy dont u read the news?

Statistics

Also see List of Detainees.
On September 22, 2004 ten prisoners were brought from Afghanistan. A total of 242 detainees had been moved out of Guantánamo as of July 20, 2005, including 173 that were released, and 69 transferred to the governments of other countries, according to the United States Department of Defense.[6]
As of November 7, 2005, 358 of the 505 detainees then held at Guantánamo Bay had had Administrative Review Board hearings, according to a November 12, 2005, report by the Wall Street Journal. Of these, 3 percent were granted and awaiting release, 20 percent were to be transferred, 37 percent were to be further detained at Guantánamo, and no decision had been made in 40 percent of the cases. Of the 505 detainees, 100 or more are from Saudi Arabia, about 80 from Yemen, about 65 from Pakistan, about 50 from Afghanistan, two from Syria and one from Australia.

From 2002 to 2006 there have been several hunger strikes at Guantánamo Bay, with up to 200 participants according to some reports.[7] Numerous participants were being force-fed through a feeding tube when their health and lives became in danger. The Australian reports that as of May 30, 2006, the number of detainees on hunger strike is 75.[

I'll go on..


On June 12, 2006, Sen Arlen Specter stated to CNN that the arrests of most of the roughly 500 prisoners held there were based on "the flimsiest sort of hearsay.


On July 23, 2003, U.S. Major General Geoffrey Miller said that three-quarters of the roughly 660 detainees had confessed to some involvement in terrorism. Many have informed about friends and colleagues. According to Miller, the confessions were acquired through rewards that included extended recreation time, extra food rations to keep in their cells, or a move to the prison's medium-security facility.


Not to mention the reason I am discussing Al-Qaeda is because the majority of people held in Gitmo are believed to be Al-Qaeda.

Wikipedia isnt that great of a resource expecially becuase it says that it went under a big revisiion just now.
