This is the dumbest thing you've posted yet.

If he'd been beaten by two Mexicans for mocking Latinos and their culture would you have said "Take a good look America, this is the true face of the Latino people; ignorant, fanatical, violent."? You're making yourself look very stupid right now with the anti-Christian rhetoric.

Quite frankly every time you get all bent out of shape over Christianity, you sound no different the nutjobs who "defend" it. Throwing out unfonded blanket statements and self-righteous half-truths.

I thoroughly disapprove of the actions of these so-called "Christians". We are not Islam. If someone attacks our faith, we are to grin and bear it. It's fine to be angry, but not to sin.

Don't use logic

well, he said christian right, not christians in general, he probably meant both, but he only said the one. even then it was a stupid blanket statement, but technically he was only referring to one facet of christianity which, in truth, neither you nor i belong to, and thus cant knowledgeably comment on. but dont feed the kitty.

I mean ANY mature person should carry themselves a certain way and not fly off the handle at base and possibly insulting comments, but when Christianity demands that of its followers then something is wrong with these "Christians" in a circumstance like this.

I know, and I agree, but I still understand how they feel and why it happened. It's impossible to expect every Christian to have the self control and mindset to do this, though. Some people are quick to anger, it's their personality. I don't condone the actions, but I completely understand why it happened.

What the hell is that supposed to mean? Your argument would hold more water if you didn't lash out at other religions.

And really, is "Big Fat Faces" such an insult to Christians that someone has to get beaten over it?

Kansas Christians are very self conscious about their chubby cheeks.

I wasn't lashing out at anybody.

One of the tenets of Islam is to defend their faith from outsiders by any means necessary, including war.

Christians have no such edict. If they want to behead us and kill us because of our faith in Christ then we are supposed to allow it.

I have driven through Kansas. Once. Everyone there had the same bumps on their face that Lemmy has. Everyone there is above the age of 55. I'll never go back.

P.S. Fanatical religious zealots always make sad. This story is no different.

P.P.S. Heres to the land you've torn out the heart of. Hey Kansas, find yourself another country to be part of.

I seriously doubt that any Muslim that isn't a religious fanatic would "wage war" on someone who said they had a fat face.

Maybe because I'm not religious, but why do religious folks get their panties in such a bunch over people that don't share their views? This is an honest question. Why even give a fuck about people who don't agree with you?

It instills DOUBT :O

That and, every major religion on the globe has a conveniently placed clause in their belief system to try and "Help/Indoctrinate" the huddled, ignorant masses. This in no way is meant to pad their numbers and make any official, representative body more money. Not at all.
