              I wonder if any of these terrorists who cite "Islam" as the justification for their actions realize what a wimp their Allah is. He is such a weakling that he can't stand a word of criticism? and He is so powerless that he cannot defend Himself, so that they have to do it for Him?

              How pathetic.

              Why would anyone want to "worship" such a feeble God?

                You realize Allah is the same God you worship, right? Jews, Christians, and Muslims all worship the God of Abraham.

                  I retract the dig on the French, though. One thing the centennial of WW1 has pounded home is how incredibly brave the French were. Like the Russians during WW2, they took a savage beating but didn't fold. By the time the next war rolled around they were simply running on empty -- they really didn't have a choice against Hitler. I don't blame them for surrendering. (Smiling and waving while the Germans deported the French Jews to be murdered is a whole different matter.)

                    You do realize France would do the same thing we did, but for a lack of an army as big as ours, right?

                    Otherwise, they have just as much of an anti-Islam sentiment as we do, if not more so. They just don't have the muscle to act on it.

                        Wrong. Though going to you for advice about religion is about the same as going to Pope Francis for advice about sex.

                        Their Allah abides no competition. That's no God, that's an idol. With them, we're back in the Old Testament, in which each tribe's god battles every other tribe's god using the tribes as proxies. in today's world, that's demented.

                        You seem to think that the Allah of a terrorist is the same Allah as the one worshiped by Al-Sisi or Al-Sistani. Devout Muslims, they both rejected that sentiment. I'll take their word for it over yours.

                        and as for me personally,

                        so that you are now 0 for 2.

                          The French far right is insanely anti-Islam, just like ours is. The difference has been they haven't put them in power. Yet. The Le Pens are always out there, snarling and drooling for fascist powers, just like our own loveable knuckleheads like Giuliani.

                            I was actually going to defend them, because I thought the thesis was a police description of the murder suspects ought to include skin color as a way of helping ID those specific individuals. But then I read this:

                            I mean what if they didn't look like typical bad guys?'
                            How do people that stupid and vile even get through the morning without losing a fight to the death with their shoelaces?

                              Um, no. How you can be utterly wrong on an uncontested point of basic theology and still claim to have anything of value to add to the conversation is adorable.

                              The Abrahamic religions all worship the same God. The Jews are release 1.0, the Christians are 2.0, and the Muslims are 3.0, but it's all the same product.
