"Most Muslims are terrorists and don't believe in Jesus Christ."

It's sad how shoe-on-head retarded most fundies are when it comes to Islam.

Pretend you're a fundy. You believe Jesus is God, you're against abortion and homosexuality, etc. For some reason, you want to take sides in a shiatty ethnic conflict 8000 miles away. Do you support:

(A) The people who think Jesus is a great prophet and saint, though not God. They are even more strongly against abortion and homosexuality than you are.
(B) The people who believe Jesus was at best a fraud, at worst an evil man boiling in shiat in hell. They generally support abortion and homosexuality.

If you chose (B), congratulations! Your framed Jesus-with-M16 print will arrive within 4 to 6 weeks.

Islam does have serious issues but this guy isn't helping.

If you are a Muslim (or a Jew or a Christian for that matter) living in America the only thing I have to say to you is that there are alternatives. Buddhism and Jainism are two examples. Both are free of the calls to violence and misogyny that plague the Abrahamic faiths. You don't have to keep stepping over the ugly parts of the Torah, the Bible, or the Koran just to live a peaceful life. You are also free to keep your faith as well of course, whatever anyone else might say, myself included. You are also free to abandon religion altogether. Opportunities like this are part of the reason why America has never devolved into a theocracy like other nations have.

Give it a thought.

cameroncrazy1984: Apos: Weaver95: Apos: Low I.Q. + incessant Faux news watching  =  DISASTER

interestingly enough, Limbaugh spent an hour or so today calling Obama voters 'cultists' and saying people who vote Democrat are 'low information voters'.

As opposed to the gibberish he usually spouts?

And this is exactly the reason I don't find it necessary to listen to Rush Limbaugh every day to know what he's going to say.


I follow the show if/when there's a big story on the news.  its interesting to see what the GOP response is going to be for the week.  Limbaugh is usually one of the big names to set the right wing tone on major policy points/issues. 
 
I gotta say tho, lately Rush hasn't been very useful.  the GOP as a whole is probably in the weakest position i've ever seen - nobody is holding them together, there isn't a recognizable leader and I think their unity is starting to fracture.  they're starting the process of figuring out who to blame for their losses in the past election and none of the GOP insiders want to catch that blame.  watching them try and come to some sort of consensus is fascinating.

yes, actually.  Limbaugh is starting to really get desperate.  look, he's cost his bosses a ton of money, the GOP leadership is starting to see him as more of a liability than an asset and EVERYONE else in the talk radio biz is looking at him as the reason they're all losing money.  His enemies are mounting and he's got NO friends.  a couple/few allies but nobody to watch his back that isn't already on the payroll.
 
I think that's why he's he's pushing the talking points and not venturing forth on his own.  he's trying to play nice with his fellow nutballs, blend in, be one of the pundit crowd.

Schroedinger's Glory Hole: Fark Rye For Many Whores: Mosque arsonist says he only knows about Islam from Fox News (wow), believes "most" Muslims don't believe in Jesus Christ (WOW), and drank 45 beers in 6 hours before setting fire (UBER-WOW)

"Most people not in {$religion} don't know the funny quirks of {$religion}, such as {$Islam} which believes in {$Jesus} but isn't {$Christianity}."

The fact that Islam is a spinoff of Christianity the same way Christianity is a spinoff of Jewdom is not a funny quirk. In fact I'm pretty sure it is covered in every high school in the country.


I'm guessing it's NOT.

I highly doubt that high schools in red states teach that the god of Islam is also the god of Judaism and Christianity (the God of Abraham in this case, hence the term "Abrahamic Religions"), and would not be the least bit surprised if there turns out to be legislation on the books in the deep south that expressly forbids the teaching of this little fact in school.

Likewise, it is somewhat improbable that students in those states will ever learn from their teachers the fact that the Arab, Arabic-speaking Christians in Lebanon call the god they worship "Allah," much less that it's the same god that American Christians (publicly claim to) worship.

Drew: "Challenge accepted."

Bud Light doesn't count
 
/why do you "manly" types think it makes you look tough to drink chick beer


This has always got me as well. 3.2 beer is abw, not abv.

3.2 abw =~4.1 abv

Bud light = 4.2 abv.

Therefore, bud light = near beer for all intents and purposes.
