Slow Joe Scarborough, Wrong Again

Scarborough: Like Radical Islam, ‘Ultrafundamentalist’ Christianity Could Also Lead to Violence. And so continues the false equivalence between “Radical” Islam and “Fundamentalist” Christianity. This incorrect premise largely results from an obfuscation of terms. Islamists acting like Mohamed are not radicals. They may be called reactionaries, they may be called fundamentalists and the may be called orthodox. But they are not radicals. They are the ones practicing their religion in the manner intended by the man who created it and in the manner that he himself practiced it. On the other hand Christians given to violence in the spreading of religion (which me must assume could happen, as those making this argument have no contemporary examples through which to maintain their comparison) are not Christians at all. Given this it is easy to see that Slow Joe Scarborough is not just wrong, he is as wrong as he could possibly be.

  • The media keeps trying to make this comparison, but where is the evidence? The religion of peace regularly cuts off peoples heads, sets them on fire, throws them off buildings and even stones people all in the name of Allah or at the direction of their pedophile prophet . I keep waiting till the Lutheran's rise up and start shooting every Muslim they see just because they are muslim. Or for Baptists, or Mormons to start using car bombs, and maybe the Jehovah's witnesses to send in a few suicide bombers.

    The media like dear leader is full of shit and keeps pushing this narrative. CAIR stands around bitching and moaning about all the abuse Muslims take, but not a damn word about what Muslims do to Christians.

    And our president refuses to say radical Muslim extremist. Not all Muslim's are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslim.

    Perhaps with the media it is extreme cowardice that propels them to stand up and LIE for Islam. They are scared of having a grenade stuffed in their shorts, or seeing their head rolling around in the dirt. Plus the fact it is much easier to attack people who do not kill you when you slander Jesus, or Buddha, or whomever you believe in.

    Doesn't matter that these idiot media assholes try and curry favor with Islam, Once they run into an extremist from the land of sand, they will die just because they are an infidel.

    The press have gone from reporting news to just making shit up and offering up their so called "expert opinion" on everything from crazy islamics to Bruce Jenner's whoremoan treatments.

    I would be willing to be that any of these talking heads would wet and soil themselves if put in the position of kneeling down with a crazy islamic with a knife to their throat. But with any other religion, they can lie because they know they won't get physically attacked. Joe is just like a lot of the media, little chickenshit bullies with a pulpit.

  • If a Christian ultra-fundamentalist believes the Bible is the literal word of God to humanity - then they'll follow what The Book says. Beyond that, they could no longer be called Christian.

    Let me help you with some terminology, Joe: anyone who would teach or support a lethal offensive to insure the spread or survival of any ethnic group or their religious beliefs, is an extra-biblicalist.

    Christian does as Christianity is. Period.
