The point is we need more displays of that kind of decency from Muslims. The Muslims need to isolate their malignant militants and treat them like the cancer they are.

You are so full of crap it's not even funny. For starters, on a Pew Research poll last year, Mormons scored higher than either Catholics or Protestants on knowledge of the Bible. Mormons read and the study the Bible constantly, and we know what it says. So much for your "moronic" post.

Somebody remind me why?
Because of hatred, bigotry, and stupidity.

Anyone who's a big fan of the idiotic "keep duh Muslims out of our nation!" nonsense should look up the Know Nothing Party from the day's before the Civil War:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Know_Nothing

"The Native American Party, renamed in 1855 as the American Party, and commonly named Know Nothing movement, was an American political party that operated on a national basis during the mid-1850s. It promised to purify American politics by limiting or ending the influence of Irish Catholics and other immigrants, thus reflecting nativism and anti-Catholic sentiment. It was empowered by popular fears that the country was being overwhelmed by German and Irish Catholic immigrants, whom they saw as hostile to republican values and controlled by the Pope in Rome. "

So, we've been down this path before... why have we learned nothing in over 150 years?

Therefore, my opinion of muslims and islam will not change.
If you honestly believe any of those terrorists are actually Muslim than I pity you.

They are no more religious than the "Christian" nuts who slaughtered countless in the Crusades, or the various factions of "Christianity" that squared off in Northern Ireland, or the KKK or the Lord's Resistance Army. Get a clue.

They have their country to save......does this mean nothing to people. Why are you so interested in young men leaving their home country. They need to stay and fight along with the Christians, if they don't, who will......the United State's soldier?

Christ is mentioned repeatedly in the Koran but Muslims view him as a prophet, not the savior He himself claimed to be. There are other differences as well.
There are differences in divinity claims but Christ=the messiah is a commonality.

A Merry Christmas present from our Kenyan brothers against the evil ones.

I'm actually surprised the terrorists just gave up and left though rather than murdering them all.
If I didn't know more about this Kenyan terrorist group, I'd be surprised with you. But, unlike other terrorists, Al Shabab has long targeted Christians (and often sparing Muslim lives) in their effort to create an Islamic state in Kenya. I think they spare Muslims (or have in the past . . . after this incident I question whether they will continue to do so) as they don't want the entire country being against them. They figure that they can't have Muslims against them if they are to succeed in creating their Islamic state. But, thankfully, Kenyan Muslims in this case didn't stand for any of it and risked their lives to save their fellow man.

No kidding. The quote I responded to said that Mormons "claim to be Christians also but most of them have never read God's word."
