I was reading ab article about how many Muslims have voted for G W Bush during his 1st run in the presidential race. It also talked about how the Muslim community was so highly spoken of by the former president.
There was some interesting facts set by this particular journalist and it sent a different view of the former president so I read on to see what was next; I was waiting for the juice or the filler of the article.
Then it began to run off. They talked about how badly politicians began to pollute the religion of Islam and its believers. Nowadays this is nothing new but the they began talked of how Newt Gingrich compared Islam as a parallel to Nazism..
I thought to myself "My Oh My isn't that a heavy statement". Then I began to travel down a portion of the Christian-American's past;
It was these person's that (ordained in a ceremony lead by the pope) saw fit to capitalize on slavery in the name of Christianity. It was also this Christian nation that dropped an Atomic bomb on a nation of people killing innocent babies and others. It was also this Christian nation; lead by the klu klux klan that burned, murdered and tortured blacks and other person of color in ceremonies where they would perform prayers and perform religious rituals using Christ's name and the faith of Christianity to justify these horrific acts (just to name a few).
Although we can go on much longer it would not erase or change anything so my question is this? how can you continuously demonize any religion or any other nation when your hands are arguably the most blood-filled and corrupted of most the nations of the world and you have justified it through the very religion that you claim?
Food for thought...........
