The question that should have been asked of Oreilly is " does one apple spoil the bunch?

Instead, some cant take free and equal speech so it causes them to shut out everything being said and retaliation to make the rest of the world do the same... That's usually a pretty drama queenish cycle. Only 10 year olds are supposed to have those kinds of tantrums. Sad that people cant descuss issues that are RELEVANT. Just because you dont see it doesnt mean that 70%, the bulk of the nation does not want it. Another 10% or more of the remaining 30% are bandwagoneers no doubt. This is why I dont watch TV.

But neither of those are valid arguments. Muslims did not attack us, Extremists attacked us.
Lets be honest here for a moment. Logical, factual, etc. MUSLIM EXTREMISTS attacked us. They are both Muslim and Extremists. That doesn't mean all Muslims are extremists, nor does it mean all extremists are Muslims. But be truthful. Muslim extremists killed thousands of Americans and will continue to kill Americans when and where they can. They need to be stopped, and to stop them, you must realize who they are.

So, your suggesting in order to get the extremists, we must sacrifice our first amendment right to freedom of religion?
Wouldn't that be like us bombing ourselves so that they don't do it first? What sense does that make?

Obviously the people that pulled off the 7/7 attacks were anything but "normal" they killed people, normal people don't kill people do they?
Islam is a religion, as a religion it is simply a concept, and in itself cannot harm another person. However, people being people, can have the ability to inflict harm on another in great measure. Given the history of the UK, surely you can understand that concept. Might I suggest a trip to the York Dungeon to enlighten yourself on the acts of humans towards other humans if you are unfamiliar with the rich history of punishments and tortures in England.
As far as it being a conspiracy, let me turn you on to doomsday prophecy and those that DO want a religious war against Islam because they believe that it will kick off a doomsday scenario and bring about the Apocalypse. These people want to brainwash others into believing that Islam is a threat because to them, Islam is a threat and in their twisted and skewed vision of the end of the world, the only way to bring about judgement day is to have a mighty war with Islam, destroy the dome of the rock, and rebuild the temple of Solomon.edit on 10/16/2010 by whatukno because: (no reason given)
Muslim, Jew and Christian alike are all to blame
People shouldnt be judged on their faith, color or country's political policy toward the world market but rather by their character alone through their actions individually.

Here's the problem that right wingers can't get through their thick skulls about this issue. O'Reilly can't seem to comprehend this either.
Islam did not attack us on 9/11, it didn't insane people DID.
Take the religion out of the equation and you understand that it's the fault of INSANE people, people who don't respect the lives of others, people who are so indoctrinated in their own hate that they cannot fathom anyone else thinking or believing or acting in any other way but the way THEY want.
That's what O'Reilly does not understand, if you take the religious component out of the equation (because it's irrelevant anyway) you will come to understand that the people involved are seriously demented homicidal idiots. If they didn't have Islam to base their hatred on, they would have chosen some other reason to do it. It just doesn't matter. Hell, they could have just as easily based their reason on the catcher in the rye.edit on 10/15/2010 by whatukno because: (no reason given)
