During anti-Muslim hearing, Dem calls for ‘hearing on the radicalization of Christians’

[Tigress DEM]

36. I think it's just a bit "inclusive" for this crowd.

I understand the gist of your post. What people here are trying to do is throw specifics at this guy because he asked for it.

I think you're hearing an apples to apples not apples to oranges kind of response. Individual Christians being radicalized enough to go out and murder for their faith not faithless government leaders ordering whole sale slaughter in the name of helping the Iraqis.


Numbers like you've cited bring to mind Fallujah, Iraq a city of 200,000 - 300,000 was hit in April 2004 with tons of dirty bombs and people were shot if they tried to leave after a certain point and were left with a choice to simply lay down and die in their homes.

These kind of things done in Iraq could be under the category of trying to create Armagedon, but I would not call those perpetrating these crimes Christians at all - not even radical ones. I see politicians USING religion to justify the results but that's like blaming God because some nut job said "Jesus told me to kill that sinner."



BTW - How is Fallujah doing lately? Not so good cancer and birth defects - some that are so odd, they have never been seen before. Sigh.

The Fallujah tragedy: A war crime by any other name...

Dr. Alani places the blame on depleted uranium (DU) munitions and white phosphorus, both of which the US used in its twin attacks on the city back in 2004 after local resistance fighters killed four American mercenaries operating in the city. The US attacks destroyed or damaged up to sixty percent of the city’s buildings, including 36,000 out of the city’s 50,000 homes, sixty schools, and sixty-five mosques and shrines. Over 6,000 residents were killed and a quarter of a million fled for their lives, many to squatter camps lacking basic services. 50,000 – mostly men and teenage boys, who were prohibited from leaving – remained in the city, where they were hit by depleted uranium munitions, white phosphorus, and cluster bombs, poisoning the local environment for years to come. This group supposedly included only 600 to 6,000 resistance fighters. According to the New York Times, the marines targeted the main hospital first “because the US military believed it was the source of rumors about heavy casualties.”

That was the part I read real time when it was happening. Kill the doctors for telling the truth about how many are being killed in this war. It was at that time we couldn't even get an honest count of how many soldiers had been killed, and they were hushing up civilian casualties like nobody's business.
