Twelve people were injured by the blast in the city of Ansbach, three of them seriously, Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann said at a news conference Monday. The bomber, a 27-year-old Syrian national who was known to police, was killed, Hermann said.I am a relative newcomer to this forum so maybe someone can tell me who applies titles to the various threads (discussion subjects). In other words, who was responsible for labeling this "Germany - Islamic Terrorists stries again" ? To the best of my knowledge, actions such as this are clearly, unequivocally without basis in any Islamic principle or doctrine. I do not recall the actions of Bush, Cheney, Wolfowicz, Blair and their cohorts being similarly labeled when they attacked and murdered well in excess of a million people in Iraq; Dumbo Bush actually used the term 'crusade'. Why was it not 'Christian Terrorism' when USA invaded Vietnam and murdered well in excess of a million innocent, defenseless people ?
Maybe if you look closely you would see. The Islamic world is crumbling before your eyes as factions canalize itself. The idiots doing the above say they do it in the name of islam. Also, that is this definitive islamic principle/doctrine you speak of? Every mullah seem to have a version.
By the way, america is a secular nation. No where in its founding documents are mentions of Christianity being its founding principle.
Maybe we are reading from different news sources; were there any claims by the perpetrator(s) of this incident in Germany that their action(s) were based on Islam ? As I pointed out and as you no doubt know, George Bush specifically used the term 'crusade' to describe the invasion of Iraq and killing of more than one million Iraqis. Why was this not boldly called out as 'Christian Terrorism' ? Can you point us to any statement or claim by the bomber that his action was taken in the name of Islam ?
You are missing my point....I am suggesting you pretend you know what is islam. I do not know of any officiating body that says that this is what is islam by consensus. I know in Saudi Arabia they have their view as does the Iranians as does the Jordanians and then we have Sunnis of Iraq metamorphosing into ISIS with their own apocalyptic vision. I do not have to mention the blind idiot Mullah Omar and his Al Queda expression ot the revivalist version of it in the brotherhood that give us the Taliban.
Do not be an idiot. The modern meaning of the word "crusade" does not mean a christian army on the warpath. It means a force seeking retribution for ills at the hands of others and has no referent in religion. Do not conflate an ancient meaning with a modern one. Also, except in the minds of a few fundamentalist rapture ready fools. America is not christian. It is a plurality by definition from its federalist construct that devolved power to local people to its declaration of faith that all men are created equal. Where is that in a typical Muslim state?
In any event, were I born in the middle ages I would gladly be on a crusade. Who the hell tell the Muslims to invade Jerusalem? It was not their holy place except in some night travel mentioned by the prophet. It was the real life historical ground of Jews and later Christians. Yes in both sense you miss the point and assume a wrong that does not exist for Muslims but people being invaded or abused.
