They are not terrorists because a dog bit them when they were children, they are terrorists because of their Muslim beliefs. The fact that most Muslims may not believe the same way is irrelevant to and for those terrorists.
They are the result of religious extremism as are the KKK.

I like how you try to dismiss the Old Testament as if it doesn't exist or as if the laws of the old testament do not apply anymore!

For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass the law until all is accomplished. Whoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 5:18-19)

Did you also forget that the ten commandments are also Old Testament? Guess they don't matter!

Oh and don't think that it's up for you to interpret which laws you can pick and choose.

Know this first of all, that there is no prophecy of scripture that is a matter of personal interpretation, for no prophecy ever came through human will; but rather human beings moved by the holy Spirit spoke under the influence of God." (2 Peter 20-21)

Oops!!

Get off of your high horse

Either you're terrible at quoting, I'm terrible at finding quotes, or you took whatever he said and changed it.

Please point me to the video where he said this, I'd like to get the full context of the clip.

PS: For what it's worth, what Obama did or did not say has nothing to do with my original post...

To prove your point bout no prophecy being up to personal interpretation you quote Peter? Wouldn't that mean that verse itself could be viewed by personal interpretation then.

No, it would mean the exact opposite.

All of us need to show that ISIS does not represent Islam

By the same token then the Holy Inquisition didn't represent the Catholic Church .
But in my opinion if someone talks , looks and acts like a 6th century moslem, he is still a moslem. Not the kind of moslem we wish to have in the West, unfortunately, but still a moslem.

In the event there is no Imam the oldest person present at prayer time is to be the Imam if he is capable of leading the prayers.
We need less Imams and less mosques and less muslims period! The fact that even 25% of all muslims support ISIS in america is way too damn high.

If you think it is a VIOLATION of AMERICAN LAW to ban ISLAM, deport all MUSLIMS, and close all MOSQUES, reconsider -

It is a violation of American law to advocate the overthrow of America's government - which is exactly what ISLAM teaches.
"The Smith Act"
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2385
: : : : : : : :
"I have been ordered to fight with the people till they say, ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah,’ and whoever says, ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah,’ his life and property will be saved by me." (saith Mohammed)
Hadith about Jihad - Islam web - English
= = =
Eternal jihad until all are converted, dhimmi, or dead.
Convert, Submit, or DIE.
No other option.
. . .
Peaceful Muslims and bloodthirsty Jihadis are all part of Islam.
Nothing guarantees the former nor prevents the latter.
Both are “acceptable” to Islam.
But are both acceptable to civilized nations?
"Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth."
- - - Omar Ahmad, CAIR’s founder
As part of Islam, Shari'ah law supersedes all other laws - - - like constitutional ones.

If you refuse to ban Islam, they dictate your next choice:
convert, submit, or die.
