Christo-Fascism Vs. Islamo-Fascism



Top: Dan Brown, author of The Da Vinci Code (2003), wherein it is premised that The Bible is lying about Jesus and that he had a wife and child, as implicitly bolstered by material that had been expunged.

The Roman Catholic Pope and Greek Orthodox Patriarch called for a boycott of the movie version, on the grounds that it blasphemes Christ's celibacy.

Bottom: Salman Rushdie, author of The Satanic Verses (1989), wherein it is premised that the Quran and Haddith tells the truth about Muhammad and his wife and kids, as explicitly bolstered by material that had been expunged.

Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini issued a fatwa sentencing Rushdie to death, saying that the book blasphemes Muhammad and his wives.

No word yet about a film adaptation.

They also forget the declaration of Peter:
Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves know. (Acts 2:22 KJV).



If you believe that there God the Father and God the Son were two separate individuals you would have no problem with this.


John 17:21-22

21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

Revelations 1: 6-8

6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be cglory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall bsee him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

Not to mention that there is another Testament of Jesus Christ and his divinity.

Holy crap, John, you finally have someone that can write blogs as long as yours ;-).

My mother always warned me about talking religion in polite company.

Thank you ahmeninajad, and Kelly, but what does any of that have to do with the Christian world--from top to bottom--reacting to blasphemous material with boycotts, while the head of an Islamic theocracy reacts by issuing a fatwa?

Phelonius: My mom, too. Religion and politics.

BTW, ahmedinajad, the Torah precedes the Quran by, like, what, a thousand years?

Also, there is no "war against terror/Islam"--unless you yourself see them as interchangeable.

We have mosques in every city in America, left to worship in peace.

We have nuclear weapons.

How are the dhimmi churches doing in Islamic countries?

Any synagogues?

If the roles were reversed vis-a-vis nuclear capabilities, would the nuclear-armed Islamic world forbade itself from using them on the Judeo-Christian West?

I think not.

Actually, I think that ahmedinajad is a troll.

Kelly: By "troll" I think you mean "bot."

Bot works for me.

A "bot" is a robot, or an automated delivery, a spammer.

There's no one there.

I don't know if that applies to ahmed, though.
