Peppy.. I have a better idea..

Lets put all the Shia and Sunni together, armed to the teeth and let them rip each other to pieces.
Then, we can do the same for (just for equalities sake) the Catholic IRA and the Protestant UDA.

I'm not sure why you describe me as a Christian 'extremist'.. I don't own a gun, nor accumulate explosives, not call for the death of Muslims, Hindu's, Buddhists or Atheists. I'm very protective of my freedom though.

My only plea is to consider Christ as Lord and Saviour. My 'bark' is loud here, but my 'bite' is gentle:) unless of course we happen to be sparring in a gym. But as Mohammad (one of our gym members) knows, when I spar with him, I'm very gentle and avoid whacking him in the noggin to the point where he said "You CAN hit me you know"....
Its not 'Muslims' I attack, it is the religion which deludes them into a false sense of eternal safety.

You are welcome to describe me as a 'fundamentalist' in the sense of believing the Scriptures, and that Christ died and rose from the dead.
But you won't find me dancing with joy on the grave of a murdered homosexual as "Pastor" Fred Phelps did.

"Extremists" are generally characterized by wrong understandings of the Bible and a propensity to violent aggression against people because of their race.

One such example is the 'HammerSkins' of USA.. a group I only came to know of yesterday while doing some research. The list is endless, Aryan Nation, KKK, etc etc.

The problem is, I cannot find any Biblical justification for their views. On the contrary, I oppose their views on Biblical grounds.

The emerging 'Islamist' group in Turkey will be worthy of close monitoring. I think Gurfinkiel has some valid assessments.
Remember Pep... there are 13 men in Melbourne and 11 in Sydney on Trial for UKNOWHAT. I've seen their faces in person. No comment further.

Boaz,

In all fairness I don't think you are a Christo extremist but just an evangelist with anti Islam extremism. You are so obsessed with Islamist radicalism that you are turning on everything with Islam any it.

See? I think I am reasonable guy and can defend your right to believe in what you believe in. Thanks for the dinner invite but I can't afford a food taster :)

Peace,

Boazy,

Sorry if I have confused you. Yes, I do consider you to be an extremist but I never meant to imply that you're a Christian, at least, not a Real Christian. More of a Pretend Christian.

Some of my best friends are very religious Christians who attend Church regularly and none of them are so full of hatred and anger as you are. They try to improve their own lives and be a good example to others, you on the other hand are too busy telling everyone else how bad they are. Sorry that none of us meet the high standards that you yourself don't follow.

How about we start a new Topic and ask everyone else what qualities they think a Real Christian should possess and let's see how many say, "Christians should go on Blog sites and rant and rave about how evil their fellow man is?"

I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ. - Mohandas Gandhi
