Of course, that doesn't apply exclusively to Islam, all the religions are political, at least to some degree.Olives and Arrowsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7657367.post-90010793393062713132010-09-13T23:34:16.029-05:002010-09-13T23:34:16.029-05:00one of the counter terrorism experts argues don...one of the counter terrorism experts argues don't call al qaeda terrorists "jihadis." doing so suggests their violence is sanctioned by islam - when it isn't. it's also needlessly elevates people who are nothing more than thugs. they take it as a compliment when you call them jihadis. we shouldn't confuse political aims with religious ones.<br /><br />juan cole also points this out:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.juancole.com/2010/09/top-ways-911-broke-islamic-law.html" rel="nofollow"> top ways 9/11 broke islamic law </a>omennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7657367.post-17563470496115049432010-09-13T22:16:42.031-05:002010-09-13T22:16:42.031-05:00speaking of civil war, check out this bit of ugli...speaking of civil war, check out this <a href="http://www.bradblog.com/?p=8064" rel="nofollow"> bit of ugliness.</a><br /><br />restoration = the south shall rise again.omennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7657367.post-85841659547051526712010-09-13T22:04:13.320-05:002010-09-13T22:04:13.320-05:00we have birthers, deathers, etc.

You directly disobey his commandment to love your neighbor.” </i><br /><br />Reverend Cizik, if you think you're such a decent guy, why the hell are you an Talibangelical, anyway? News flash, guy -- His redemptive power doesn't extend that far.StonyPillownoreply@blogger.com
