Thank you. I appreciate you being in agreement with my agreeing with the opening post.

yes, but than catholic church seperated itself from orthodox church, so orthodox church is the original one

They were both the same church and then they separated. Neither is the original Church, as that Church ceased to exist when they separated.

This pastor should be able to burn those Qurans. Why? Because he's burning books, not the actual words that so many hold their faith to.

He's burning paper. Who cares if he's trying to be offensive? Is the world really giving this guy attention because he wants to get a rise out of people? Really?

It's not like he's going over there and forcing them to believe in his denomination of Christianity. In my mind, the people upset about this are doing so simply because they want something to complain about. They want a justification to complain.

Things are getting bad when petty things like this are getting so much attention. May God have mercy on us all.

Together, they were both like orthodox church . Than they got seperated. The orthofox church stayed the same and roman catholic seperated itself and became the new one. So orthodox church is the original one, because catholics changed and separated themselfes, orthodox didnt.

That's rather simplified view on things, in fact, Roman Catholic Church consider tradition that predates the Great Schism as own history.

I've never seen burning copies of the Bible or caricatures of Jesus nor seen vast crowds of Muslims chanting death to Christians. Probably because mainstream media hasn't picked up on it and didn't consider it news worthy enough. Perhaps you could provide a link or video link. You and your groups of Christian friends could spread the word via Facebook and Youtube as happended to the current Qu'ran burning incident. I think you're exaggerating the violent abuse of Christians in Muslim countries. There have been massacres which must be condemned to the fullest but it's usually tit for tat in a small number of countries such as Nigeria and Indonesia while in other Muslim countries Christians are usually oppressed somewhat rather than being raped and murdered. But why would Christians burn Palestinian and Somalian flags for no reason? That's stupid. About the Buddhist statues being blown up by the Taliban, I remember that very well, it was big news and rightly condemned but what's the moral relevance? Were Americans to blame? North American isn't a Buddhist stronghold. And have you researched the reaction in majority Buddhist countries? Chances are there would have been major protests. As for the Greek Church destroyed on 9/11 not being rebuilt that's down to money, not politics and religion. And rumours are just that...rumours not facts.

Also religion still plays a big part in the political sphere of Muslim countries and one of the most widely disseminated strands of Islam was the Saudi Arabian Wahabi school of thought (look it up...it's EXTREME). Saudi oil money was offered to tens of thousands of Muslim communities around the world and it allowed mosques and madrassas to be built but in return they had to install a Wahabi sect taught Islamic clergy. This went on for decades right under the noses of successive US Administrations. They turned a blind eye because Saudi Arabia was a major oil producing ally, a major source of foreign income for US arms manufacturers and a major investor in the US economy and also the US was too busy keeping populism and communism in check. You can see why mainstream media ignores it if you take all that into account. The Al Qaeda and Taliban the US is in fight with today....they were all taught Wahabi Islam from a young age in madrassas in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.

Let's see it another way. If you see the War on Terror as a Christian vs Muslim conflict (which it's not) well that's how a lot of Muslims in the Muslim world see it. How many 'Islamic' soldiers, tanks, artillery, soliders, helicopters, drones and jet planes do you see when you look out of your window? Ask a Muslim from the Muslim world, chances are they've probably seen a 'Christian' equivalent. If you want to talk numbers killed, it's overwhelmingly one way. You want to talk about Muslim countries not appeasing? Really? The US dominates the Gulf.

OP your both a christian and a patriot. People like you sicken me. Also the reason the west doesn't burn flags or burn effigies like muslims do is because doing that sort of thing is just stupid and we are better than that (burning flags that is i am not saying that western values are superior to muslim ones).

Why?
