Erik Rush, a commentator on Fox News , twitter response to the Boston Marathon bombings was Muslims are evil, lets kill them all
Considering everything, should Fox News still keep this person as a guest speaker?

Inappropriate Response to Boston Bombing.
Post #1“What do you think science is? There is nothing magical about science. It is simply a systematic way for carefully and thoroughly observing nature and using consistent logic to evaluate results. So which part of that exactly do you disagree with? Do you disagree with being thorough? Using careful observation? Being systematic? Or using consistent logic?�

Yes, yes, I would. I feel 'Kill them all' is an appropriate response to any group. Don't you?
Witch hunt much?

Re: Inappropriate Response to Boston Bombing.
Post #23It's not about that. It's the accusatory questions of a forum member's moral values. The underlying implication is "Are you fair, nice, Good? Can I trust you, or are you also a danger?"dianaiad wrote:Uhmn....is the reason this thread shut down so completely because it turns out that this thing was done by a couple of radical Muslim jihadists?Ooberman wrote:East of Eden wrote:Would you be OK if he had qualified it to 'radical, jihadist Muslims'?

I don't think I have ever met an atheist that thought Christians were worse than muslims, or anything of the sort. It's not about the broader religious affiliation. Extremists are the problem. (And extremists are always the most devout)
To the atheist, religion is simply another division between groups like nationalities, sports team fanaticism, taste in music, etc. It can be a good influence based on the people wielding the influence.
For ANY philosophy, we expect the over-reaching moral principles to be Good.
I think we have to assume each of us here are good, moral people. To ask questions that suggest otherwise are witch hunts.

Re: Inappropriate Response to Boston Bombing.
Post #25I personally think that any call to genocide is inappropriate. Perhaps people complaining about 'radical jhiadhists' disagree, but I don't think that is proper. The call to 'kill them all' is just one step away from doing it..Ooberman wrote:It's not about that. It's the accusatory questions of a forum member's moral values.

Re: Inappropriate Response to Boston Bombing.
Post #26I don't think I have either. Of course, that's not exactly a rousing compliment here, because I have met atheists who think that all theists are in the same class as the most extreme jihadist. Shoot, right here on this forum I have seen posts from at least one atheist who has advocated the complete elimination of theism and theists who oppose the idea of eliminating theism. More from atheists who want to make theism utterly illegal and punishable by prison or fines, and even more from atheists who say they don't care whether a theist believes in God, as long as nobody (especially the atheist) is made aware of that in any manner, and as long as theists (and theistic organizations) are put in about the same position as Chinese younger siblings: something less than second class citizens.Ooberman wrote:

That depends entirely upon the atheist. I find it interesting that atheists will automatically declare that 'atheism means only a disbelief in deity' when a theist attempts to ascribe a specific general tendency, but the atheists themselves are quite willing to give themselves blanket positive traits when it suits them.Ooberman wrote:To the atheist, religion is simply another division between groups like nationalities, sports team fanaticism, taste in music, etc. It can be a good influence based on the people wielding the influence.
As a general rule, yeah, we at least hope for that.Ooberman wrote:For ANY philosophy, we expect the over-reaching moral principles to be Good.
Well, in this case.....we found the witch.Ooberman wrote:I think we have to assume each of us here are good, moral people. To ask questions that suggest otherwise are witch hunts.
Ooberman, I have several Muslim friends who are as outraged by this as anybody can be. Outraged, unhappy, and humiliated....and they each and every one were predicting that this would be a radical Muslim jihadist. They weren't happy to be right about it, and they are all weighed down by a sense of responsibility that doesn't belong to them. These jihadists are doing more harm to Islam than any Crusade ever did, and my friends know this.
It's especially hard on them because last year one of those outspoken jihadists came to our town (why our town I'll NEVER understand) and 'infiltrated' their mosque. He started working with the young men, and if it weren't for the fact that one of those young men had a father in the local police force who knew what to look for, THIS mosque in THIS town would have had a problem. As it was, there are several young men here who, because of their exposure to these ideas, are on a 'watch list,' and have had their lives screwed up because of this stuff. There are some VERY angry Muslims here right now, and they are not mad at the CHRISTIANS. They feel, quite rightly, that their freedom of religion and speech have been taken from them....by the jihadists, as certainly as if they had been living in Afghanistan. These people are lawyers and doctors and engineers. Well respected, many of them multigenerational American citizens...and when they attend services, the local Christians stand guard outside so that nobody ELSE will bother them.
Someone always tries.
And those Muslims were convinced from the first report that 'jihadists' were behind them, even when the Christians around them were still thinking 'maybe not."

The Boston Smoke Bomb was a Giant Hoax.
The Chief of Police of Boston is the same Actor that played "John Candy" on the TV

The Governor of the State of Massachusettsvis the Actor that played "Alvin" on the Cosby show.

The Fake bombers ore Greengergs as usual.


The father of the bombers is Pete Townsend of the Rock Band "The Who".

The crazyass mother of the bombers is Kellie Pickler from American Idol.

The whole thing was a Giant Disney production with the "hole" family on board


Hey, It's Joe Rogan. Ahhhh Haaaaa !!!


Look,
What we have been experiencing here in the Unithe States is Actor Based Reality in conjunction with Multi-Juristictional X-Plan Drills being put on by Home Land Security. The whole thing is a Giantic Hoax and nobody was hurt.
Sandy Hook was an X-Plan Drill using Actors as well as the fake Aurora Colorado Theatre Shooting Hoax, the fake Gabby Giffords Shooting etc etc etc...
There has never been a school shooting in America. You show me the Hoax and I'll show you the people behind it.
COLUMBINE :

100% Proof that Columbine was a Giantic Fraud...

What are you on about? None of those people look alike, especially Kellie Pickler and the bomber's mother -- are you kidding me??? Look how long the mother's nose is. These aren't the same people -- their skin tones and the height of their brows and their ears don't match at all. These images couldn't even fool someone suffering from Prosopagnosia. One would have to be color blind and legally blind to think these people are the same.

Fortunately for you what I am saying requires thinking. You seem to be someone who thinks on occassion...
Of course they don't look alike. That's the point. They are in disguise. This is hollywood at its worst, or best depending on how you look at it...
I can assure you no one was hurt on Patriots day in Boston. Those were Smoke Bombs and nothing more.
What you are seeing is Actor Based Reality.
Home Land Security is a Giant Hoax.
