Nice~~~~~#4 has a Georgia O'Keefe quality about it (I'm sitting here in Santa Fe as I type having just viewed a few of her paintings)

Imagine the bias and prejudice that goes into judging a gun by its looks!
it's an attack on its body image.......we need a government program to find a safe place for the gun, and subsidies for its ongoing therapy via Obamacare.

Very cool perspective!

That means nothing. I didn't said they weren't religious; just that they weren't motivate by religion. Many a mafia don, facing death, would make a sign of a cross --- would that mean that his criminal empire was based on religion? Of course not. Nor would a criminal getting Last Rites before dying. (Which, BTW, is exactly what Timothy McVeigh did before his execution!)
You're all wet......the religion and politics are completely intertwined. Quite making excuses for the religion.

I never said he was a "right-wing evangelical Christian". I had just assumed, based on his name, that he was raised Catholic (who are also Christians), and apparently I was right.
And contrary to the popular and oft-repeated belief among conservatives, few radicalized Muslims based their actions of religion, but rather on politics.

Actually you wrote "...When Timothy McVeigh blow up the Oklahoma City federal building, how many Christians specifically rejected his Christianity?".
It is clear you were calling him a Christian, and I think you have been set straight on your being wrong on that one. As for your comment on radicalized Muslims doing it for politics.........then why do,they scream Allan Akbar as they die? I'll tell you why......because you are again wrong. Religion always comes first.

haha.. if that said it all, k*****g Osama would "say it all" with regard to Islamic terrorism.
Ha ha ha........That doesn't even make sense!
UBL was ONE leader of ONE radical Islamist terrorist group. Nothing less, nothing more. During the entire duration before his death and after 9-11, and since, there were radical Islamist terrorist attacks against America, Americans, and our allies.

Yes... We arrested, tried, and executed HIM. We didn't say ship him off to a prison in a different country, saying he was "too dangerous" to be tried here. Nor did we associate all members of the "small government" "Patriot" movement (which motivated the bombing) with his crimes.
Hmmm....didn't we get three? He was already here, and a citizen, so we did it here. The Muslims you cry for are not citizens, and are still in American soil. What's your lame point, James?????
Also note the FBI has had constant sight of the various movements in America, so again.....what's your point?

What makes you think that a significant number of Muslims are silent about and support the terrorists? When Timothy McVeigh blow up the Oklahoma City federal building, how many Christians specifically rejected his Christianity? How many American still support his anti-government rhetoric? Right lnow, ISIS is being beaten back by armies made up ENTIRELY for Muslims who actively reject them.
Get edumacated, bro. The Saudi government, for one, the Iranian government, for another. Oh, did we mention the silence from an overwhelming majority of Imams?
As for McVeigh, as I recall we k**led him, yes? I think that says it all.

We're heading out to Santa Fe in a few days for some R&R.

I'm well aware of TJ's marine intervention in Tripoli. In fact, it's incorporated in some song which is apparently dear to the hearts of any U.S. Marine.
However, I still contend that there are aspects of the history of the Middle Ages that could serve well in understanding the situations with which we are faced today.

Well, surprise! I agree with you! It can definitely assist in understanding today's situation, but it cannot drive it.
Pax. Stay cool down there.

Your point is quite well taken, and troublesome. It would seem an interesting study to find out why Muslims who don't support the violence of a few are so reluctant to express opposition to that violence. Perhaps they are afraid of retribution. It would make for an interesting bit of research.

--Bob
As a serious question/statement, I wonder if some of the reticence is from fear of retribution.
We have a lot of that here in Chiraq, thus many muderers and shooters go unscathed. IF the people who see the shootings would offer names, etc., to the cops, they MIGHT have the direction they need to eventually make an arrest, but the gangs do create a lot of fear.

It might be advisable to give a rat's ass about history in general, lest you fall into a pattern of repeating past errors.

Your little platitude is cute, but not effective in this instance. Learning from the past doesn't mean being fixated on it or, like you, using it to defend current activities.
If you actually learned from the past, you would have a firmer grasp of the violence of the Muslim religion and its history with the U.S. (Read your history of Jefferson and the marines, as an example).
Given the exact scope and subject of the thread, it is appropriate to not give a rats ass about the Middle Ages.
