TotallyOz Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 My heart goes out to those that lost loved ones in Orlando. As of right now, 50 dead. This is radical Islam. Plain and simple. Will Obama ever say this? Will the USA ever wake up and realize the country is being attached? RA1 and intohotguys 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JKane Posted June 12, 2016 Members Share Posted June 12, 2016 It's a terrorist act and a hate crime. I'm not sure the religion used as the excuse is that critical to the discussion (but many will make it so). Think of it this way, the guys who killed Mathew Sheppard, I'm fairly certain they were brought up Christian and were told that their god hated fags, and that mindset/justification may well have played into what they did. Yes, Islam's currently creating the greater atrocities against us but Christianity has been for thousands of years too. I dunno what I'm saying, I guess it's that all religion is used by powerful men to control those of poor education and intellect, and having "Christians" use an event like this to get US to treat another group as shitty as they had just been treating us doesn't seem right.

Members RA1 Posted June 12, 2016 Members Share Posted June 12, 2016 BO has not said this before and I know of no reason that he might now. I am very afraid that Hillary will carry on the same course should she be elected. Best regards, RA1 intohotguys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Connery43 Posted June 14, 2016 Members Share Posted June 14, 2016 It's not about Radical Islam. It's about homophobia. The killer was a self-hating closet case and he targeted gay people to kill and vent his rage. JKane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TownsendPLocke Posted June 20, 2016 Members Share Posted June 20, 2016 Crazy can hide behind religion. Hatred can hide behind religion. These things take us away from true spirituality and drive us apart from the one goal that truly spiritual people believe and that is to love and help one another.

Members RA1 Posted June 21, 2016 Members Share Posted June 21, 2016 How true. However, many would not try to do or be better without formal or informal religion. Alas, many also so not try to do or be better, regardless. Best regards, RA1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
