Trump Attacks Iran, III

[Bazza]

It's sad that people exist that have no idea what they are talking about, yet are so self-assured.

Do you actually know anyone who is Muslim? If you do, are they terrorists by association?

I do.

Nowhere have I stated all (or even most) are terrorists.

I've simply repeated it's a hate-filled and oppressive religion. Demonstrably so throughout the world.

I personally couldn’t care less about offending Muslims - overall it’s a religion of hatred and oppression which hasn’t lifted people up but rather kept them down.

I’d rather not see posts like that from the POTUS, but literally don’t care if it offends them.

They have a right to their belief the same as Christians and Jews so I care. After all, they believe in the same God, the God of Abraham.

Are people really going to defend Trump threatening to wipe out an entire civilization of people?

Seriously?

Mark Glesne: “We see war evoked throughout scripture. We see this nuanced understanding of violence in a fallen world in order to restrain evil, and that’s what the State has been ordained by God to do, is to be a terror to bad conduct… In a fallen world sometimes violence is just.”

are you remotely surprised?

Retired US General Mark Hertling confirms military commanders are actively preparing to defy Donald Trump.
“They are bound by the Constitution to disobey unlawful orders to bomb Iranian civilians.”

i hope that is correct.

I agree they have the right to believe what they wish.

Likewise, I have the right to not care one bit if they're offended by something someone says.

literally not seen a single person supporting the idea of wiping out Iran. I'm sure they exist - there are people who support every crazy thought in existence - but I've not heard or seen a single person who supports that idea.

They also have a certain reverence towards Jesus but do not believe he was God incarnate.

Many also believe Christianity is a religion of hatred and oppression.

Not necessarily by design mind you but it can be weaponized for ill means just like any other religion.

In any event what is to be gained by a Country’s figurehead mass insulting swaths of people elsewhere.

You catch more flies with honey than vinegar and all that.

well, trump - a person with the actual "power" to do just that - suggested he is going to do just that, and folks are still lining up to support and defend him. it's sort of hard to separate the two.

Good point - I'm not sure trump could do anything to shake his hard-core supporters at this point.

I obviously meant someone supporting what trump said. I rub elbows with people across the political spectrum daily and not a single one has expressed anything but shock at how his post was worded (and I assume, intended).

100% - I mean who are we to judge?
