FBI: 10% of U.S. Mosques Preach Jihad

I wish the three major religions could be outlawed. They are nothing but troublemakers and haters.

Close who down?

We should just ban all religions. I know, I'm dreaming.

Thomas Jefferson once said that religion will cease to exist in about 50 years.

So what's good about them?

They con the poor and middle class into donating so they can buy expensive artifacts (Catholic Church), finance lavish lifestyles for the principals (Evangelical preachers and mega churches), claim ridiculous birthrights (Jews and their land claims), make ridiculous and harmful rules with no redeeming basis (all and especially Muslims), escape their financial obligations as part of humanity (tax free status), tyrannize outsiders (all of them) and the list goes on.

And of course they claim these are God's rules but one can but they can't all be right and NONE can PROVE anything beyond a blind faith. I guess that's why they call it faith.

So tell me again what good do they do?

Have not observed this in any Christian church I have ever been a part of and I wouldn't even consider doing so. Go to a small community church where in the past year we have gave and raised money to : feed poor people, help alcoholics and drug addicts, raised money for the local mission, raised money for breast cancer research, and built a skate park for the kids in town over at the park. Just a few examples of the good stuff you are missing out on seeing; perhaps consider setting aside your presumptions about entire groups of people for just a moment and seizing the opportunity to expand your karma with some reality. Not everyone is conned into belief; as we mature our belief systems evolve and hopefully encompass a compassionate and intellectually considered view.

I guess that's why they call it faith.

This is correct-what do you have faith in puppy?

I have faith in science and reason.

I have financially done quite well in hi-tech. I am a big supporter of science and medical research. In fact, like Warren Buffett, almost my entire estate will go to these philanthropies rather than my errors. My errors would just get corrupted by it.

None will go to any organized or disorganized religion or mythical gods.

I have faith in science and reason.

As you so aptly observed above, faith is belief in something without reconcilable evidence to support it. Your "god" is science and reason; yet, there are realities of existence that go beyond the ability of our intellect to explain-we are made up of more than just pure reason enfolded in flesh. There are aspects of our universe that science, religion, philosophy, and art fail to adequately express or explain; yet, together they all contribute to the collective experience we call life.

almost my entire estate will go to these philanthropies rather than my errors. My errors would just get corrupted by it.

This statement about yourself reveals that all your money and faith in reason have not led you to a connection with the most important humans in your life that the rest of us work a lifetime at knowing, caring for and loving. It has also led you to the false assumption that religion leads people away from reason and science; try connecting with life on something other than a monetary or scientific basis and experience the beauty of life on an emotive level and join the reality that we call life.

This may also lead you to understand why religion, like science or reason, can be a wonderful or terrible thing and why so many around the world are either encouraged or in slaved by it.

There are aspects of our universe that science, religion, philosophy, and art fail to adequately express or explain

There is nothing in the universe that can't be explained...in time.

There is nothing in the universe that can't be explained...in time. Remember when the Church thought the earth was the center of the universe and people were imprisoned and killed for objecting to this nonsense?

We all know that Christopher Columbus encountered stiff resistance when he aired his idea of sailing off West across the Atlantic Ocean to try and reach the East Indies. Many of us have laboured under the impression that people were concerned that he would sail off the edge of the Earth which was widely believed to be flat. History, we thought, vindicated Columbus against those, filled with the Christian superstitions of a flat Earth, who held on to old-fashioned beliefs. A minority of people are even under the impression that Galileo's trial centred on the subject rather than whether the Earth orbited the sun.

It comes as some surprise, therefore, to find that Columbus was wrong and his critics were right. Those who opposed his voyage never claimed the world was flat, merely that is was much bigger than Columbus thought it was. The idea that the uncouth people of the Middle Ages thought the Earth was flat is a myth that has been propagating since the nineteenth century, intended to give us a quite unfair view of this vibrant and exciting period.

Your quick retaliation to show how evil Christianity is shows your bias. I am no Christian, and their history is no where near clean.....but this is not about Christianity. It is about a religion which has been hijacked by extremists and a religion where its loudest voices scream victim and discrimination and justifiable homicide. Time to open those eyeballs before you end up in a bhurka getting the SH$# kicked out of you by a man who truly believes he owns you.

I'm showing no bias here. I'm showing objectivity. And yes it is about religion. The abuse of religion. My religion, Christainity, has been hijacked by extremist terrorists, who would have no problem with shoving women in a bhurka. Well they call it bare foot, pregnant, and the kitchen, but the bottom line concept is the same. They preach hate and intolerance. They preach that women are owned by men... well they call it submit. I know this is what they preach. I grew up on a steady diet of this garbage. When it comes to extremist, rather christian or muslim, the goal is the same.

I believe you are correct marty...

According to Sufi leader Sheikh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani's testimony before a State Department Open Forum on January 7, 1999, extremists have taken over "more than 80 percent of the mosques in the United States ... This means that the ideology of extremism has been spread to 80 percent of the Muslim population, mostly the youth and the new generation." Kabbani based his statement on his personal investigation of 114 American mosques. "Ninety of them," he said, "were mostly exposed, and I say exposed, to extreme or radical ideology, based on their speeches, books and board members." This is largely due to the efforts of ISNA.

Did you notice-1999!

We can declare the use of a word (N) as being against the law. We can't arrest these people for preaching hatred toward all non-Muslims? The DHS should be disbanded.....or............made to do their jobs. I'm sure if the FBI investigated this to the maximum, they would find where these Imans are being funded to encourage Muslims to participate in the overthrow of the US gov't. That would be proof enough.
