Dear individual,

The following is found in the Bible:

“Because of this, God greatly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, of those in Heaven and on earth and under the earth” (Philippians 2.9-10)

One could take it to mean that Christians want to take over the world. I am sure some Christians think so. However, I think most Christians have no desire to take over the world and want to live in peace with people who don’t share their faith . However, if someone wanted to make non-Christians hate and fear Christians they would find Christians who expressed those and similar views and scare the pants off of non-Christians by creating a website quoting Christians who agreed with the above. That website would be a hate Christians website in the same way that website you cite is a hate Muslims website.

davidf,
the website was simply a random pick of what was on Google when I clicked Islamic quotes. I didn't pick & choose.
Anyhow, I simply wanted an answer to the quote of the Art of the supreme War but all I got was being accused of hate speech.
In my book two wrongs don't make a right.
Islam is spreading rapidly at the expense of the host countries in every which way & that is varifiable fact & quoting & stating fact is not the kind of speech I am accused of. The accusation totally lacked reason & logic.

Dear individual,

I agree with Foxy that the site you cited is a hate site. All you are being accused of is not recognizing the nature of the site. Both Christianity and Islam are missionary religions. Missionary religions want to spread and have had a great deal of success in spreading.

I see no more reason to be afraid of Islam than to be afraid of Christianity. With the exception of Turkey and Afghanistan a century ago all Islamic countries were under Christian control. The Christian expansion was not peaceful. Now the pendulum has swung, and most Islamic countries are free of Christian control. When the Islamic countries were under Christian control the Christian imperialist powers had no hesitation about sending missionaries in to change the people's religion. Just as some Christians would like all the world to follow their religion some Muslims would like all the world to follow their religion. Neither will happen.

Sometimes, the efforts of the missionaries and the armies were to get the occupied peoples to change from one brand of Christianity to another. Such was the case in the Philippine-American War starting 1898 when President McKinley stated he wanted to Christianize the Filipinos who were mainly Catholic. Apparently, he thought Catholics weren't real Christians.

davidf,
from my personal experiences I can say that there's one lot more dangerous than religious zealots & that's the hordes of half-baked, pseudo intellectuals otherwise commonly classifying themselves as Academics. They're commonly found in State-funded media, the Public service & public education, Arts & State-funded Sport or in much simpler terms, Leftists incapable of pulling their own weight. Tragically, this is the pool from which many political aspirants for the ALP & the Greens are scooped.
None of them will ever acquire the integrity & responsibilty the nation is expecting from them.
LNP have also scooped some of their candidates from the shallow end of the gene pool.

Dear individual,

I guess we see things so differently that further dialog seems pointless.

davidf,
I suppose indoctrination will always get in the way of problem analysis & with that it's back to standby.
