Remember kids, it's not terrorism if your God is white.

1. except it's the same god....

Christianity's god is not white, they just paint him that way.

[Denninmi]

6. Remember a few years ago when ....

Someone did a recreation of what Jesus would have actually looked like, based on his genetic profile and human remains from Palestine.

He looked like any other Arabic/Palestinian man. Dark olive skin, dark hair, very UNLIKE the Western European images of him created during the Middle Ages and later.

This, no doubt, is completely unacceptable to the Teabaggers and their ilk.

8. Did it ever occur to you that making "one of your own" the son of god is an act of ethnocentrism

whether it is done by people with "olive skin" or light?

[MellowDem]

18. Technically, that makes him white...

by Census standards at least. I guess the teabaggers can think of him as Greek or Italian if it makes them feel better.

[Yuugal]

2. My God can totally kick your God's ass!

[patrice]

3. Also remember that you can, in fact, read "his" mind perfectly.This gives you the responsibility to

KILL "in His Name".

7. The world viewed from DU?

9. Did the Muslim cult/gang that was busted in Dearborn last fall not make national news?

The situation was not dissimilar to the present one, and yet not much reaction here at DU...

Protesters gather over FBI shooting of Muslim cleric

By L.L. BRASIER
FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER



More than 200 people gathered at Detroit’s New Bethel Baptist Church this afternoon to protest the controversial shooting of a Muslim cleric, killed during an FBI raid on a Dearborn warehouse in October. A string of leaders in the African American community called for answers.

Imam Luqman Ameen Abdullah, 53, was the target of a two year investigation by federal agents who said he was a radical Sunni leader preaching the overthrow of the government from his small mosque. He was shot 21 times during the raid. FBI agents at the time said he refused to surrender and fired a gun before agents fired back. His supporters contend it was an act of police brutality aimed at a black Muslim.

10. Nutball gets in shootout with FBI, loses. Sounds like he needed to meet with

justice by one means or another.

What would be your point?

[Romulox]

11. He had a warehouse of illegal weapons and a similar manifesto to the Hutaree nuts...

Why no handwringing about him? No demands he be labeled a "terrorist", either... :shrug:

[kestrel91316]

12. Well, he WAS a terrorist. Why no handwringing? Well, I'm not handwringing

over the Hutaree. What's your point?

I know. You are an apologist for the christofascists and trying to pull that "But MOOOOOMMMMMM, HE did it, TOO!!!" crap I was just talking about.

News flash: we are talking about the news of the day, not the news of a year ago.

[Romulox]

13. Nonsense. I offer some perspective about happenings in my State.

What basis do you have to call me an "apologist for the christofascists" based on that?

Frankly, I'd alert, but I think your comment speaks for itself.

"News flash: we are talking about the news of the day, not the news of a year ago."

The story I posted was dated from last Friday. :hi:

14. I don't recall that case, my apologies for that. I do recall fort Hood though:

Liebermann calls fort Hood the worst terrorist attack on US soil since 9/11: http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/66859-lieberman-wants-probe-into-terrorist-attack-on-fort-hood

Senator Levin thinks Fort Hood should be labeled as a terrorist attack: http://thehill.com/news-by-subject/defense-homeland-security/68919-levin-fort-hood-shooting-likely-a-terrorist-attack

Do you need more links?

[Romulox]

15. The case I mentioned is ongoing. Not ancient. It has a lot of parallels to Hutaree

and both happened here in where I live. So the comparison is natural to me.

[no limit]

16. The difference in that case seems to be it didn't get much national attention

atleast from what I can tell. So it's hard to say how the MSM would have reacted to that story had it gotten more attention.

[never cry wolf]

17. Ya, but Jesus was a Semite, dark skinned and dark haired

Jesus looked more like Sadaam or Osama than Jeffrey Hunter....

[Nikki Stone1]

19. So I guess following Thor means I can lob grenades?

From what I remember, the God of Israel had no color.
