Hmmmmm once again so much for the "Peaceful" religion http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2015/02/...-local-muslims/French Artist’s Calls For Peace End in Brutal Beating By Local MuslimsFrench street artist Combo was physically assaulted over his latest art work. Photo: Combo Culture Kidnapper/Facebook It was very offensive and local Muslims demanded he take it down. Four Muslims in Porte Dorée (the Golden door), a ghetto east of Paris, beat artist Combo after he refused to take down his Coexist street art. Combo suffered a dislocated shoulder, bruises and a black eye.Artnet reported, via Jihad Watch: It seems like something one would be hard pressed to disagree with: the word “coexist,” written on a wall using a Muslim crescent as the letter “C,” a Star of David as the letter “X,” and a Christian cross as a “T.” But in Paris, this particular iteration of the popular inscription—here, created by the street artist Combo, who also pasted a life-size photo of himself next to it—didn’t go down well with everybody. Le Monde reports that four young people asked the artist to remove it last weekend, and beat him up severely when he refused to do so. Combo ended up with a dislocated shoulder and many bruises. The attack is characteristic of the inter-religious tensions that plague France and have been exacerbated by the Charlie Hebdo tragedy (see 12 Killed at Magazine Previously Attacked for Satirical Cartoons). Combo declined to discuss the identity of his assailants. “It would only add fuel to the fire,” he told the French newspaper.

Good. There aren't many professions I currently find more worthless than the art community living off of grants.

Star of David as catalyst for unfavorable relations between Muslims and Christians? Fair enough. Seeing Star of David near the Crescent must have been real upsetting to them I'm surprised they gave him beating as from of warning.

Yeah, No doubt those Muslims believed in the concept of Individual Freedom and Equality. Why shouldn't they commit physical violence on someone expressing a view different than theirs? It's not as if they believe they're morally entitled to do so, after all, theirs is the 'Religion of Peace"....

And---Ken, you couldn't have forgotten Christianity is a religion of peace, eh? Please don't slip into that statist, religious, pathological etc trap, too.
You're the only one outside captivity who hasn't been trapped, skinned and sold into consumerism. One more of opposite gender gives hope for a New World.

So then King, what you're saying is that Caucasians and Christians are forever constrained from even expecting peaceful co-existence on this earth because of the sins of Crusaders and Klansmen who are long dead?
But at the same time, you refuse to even acknowledge the brutality of blacks against other blacks, and Muslims against even other sects of Muslims? You ignore the truth about the blacks in Africa who sold other blacks into slavery, and free blacks in the U.S. who bought and sold slaves. And what of blacks today who ensnare and enslave women of all colors in the sex trade?
Nothing from you on any of this? Why King?
Is it because you are terminally dishonest? I believe you are.
A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

And---Ken, you couldn't have forgotten Christianity is a religion of peace, eh? Please don't slip into that....trap.... Interesting eh. When bo brought up how terrible Christians were during the 'prayer' breakfast. He failed to point that the crusades were sanctioned war against muslim aggression. Good news, he's going to negotiate his way out of 'his' mess. Don't you find it amazing that he mentioned, in the sotu, that yeman was a success story and iran was a 'partner'. Then a few weeks later, a US tolerant government gets overthrown by iranian backed radicals. Maybe bo did back channel that deal because he certainly didn't explain it that way to the people. Best state dept line ever to the rebels, we're concerned that the vehicles that we left at the airport while high tailing it out of town were taken, please return them.

Krauthammer had another great read, " Once you've discounted your own moral authority, once you've undermined your own country's moral self-confidence, you cannot lead.
If, during the very week Islamic supremacists achieve "peak barbarism" with the immolation of a helpless prisoner, you cannot take them on without apologizing for sins committed a thousand years ago, you have prepared the ground for strategic paralysis.
All that's left is to call it strategic patience. http://www.unionleader.com/article/20150215/OPINION02/150219460"This passivity - strategic, syntactical, ideological - is more than just a reaction to the perceived overreach of the Bush years. Or a fear of failure. Or bowing to the domestic left. It is, above all, rooted in Obama's deep belief that we - America, Christians, the West - lack the moral authority to engage, to project, i.e., to lead.Before we condemn the atrocities of others, intoned Obama at the National Prayer Breakfast, we shouldn't "get on our high horse." We should acknowledge having authored the Crusades, the Inquisition, slavery, etc. "in the name of Christ." In a rare rhetorical feat, Obama managed to combine the banal and the repulsive. After all, is it really a revelation that all religions have transgressed, that man is fallen? To the adolescent Columbia undergrad, that's a profundity. To a roomful of faith leaders, that's an insult to one's intelligence.And in deeply bad taste. A coalition POW is burned alive and the reaction of the alliance leader barely 48 hours later is essentially: "Hey, but what about Joan of Arc?"

It's pretty hard to find a religion that violence hasn't been committed in the name of. Christianity is no exception, although you've got to go back a little in history to find violence being advocated in the name of Christianity as a part of doctrine. Religious doctrine is created and administered by clerics as a means of societal control, indoctrinating the resultant subjective, faith-based morality to rationalize the manipulation of the "Masses". The question is whether it is sociopathically inflictive or not. I find it interesting that you feel the need to insert the Marxist-Leninist demonization term of "Consumerism" into this, as an attempt to blame Capitalism, which makes no sense, and is a typical anti-intellectual, doctrinal, statist religious response. How's the new truck?
