lulu, you never answered the question. I asked if you hate religion in general or christianity in general. you said you think it's a waste of time. I then asked; which, religion in general or christianity?

Yep, no doubt some conservative religious group in league with Faux News. Wouldn't be the first time they've tried to pull the wool over the American public's eyes.

Do you equally condemn Hamas' murder of Israelis?

Yeah, cause CNN never tried to cover up anything,...except for when Saddam was still in power in Iraq and they did everything they could to please him so they wouldn't get kicked out of Iraq. And CBS would never try to cover up anything, except for forged documents they tried to use against President Bush. And the New York Times would never lie about anything,...now that they got caught and had to fire the writers who faked news stories.

I don't know, how about David Horowitz or Irving Kristol, former Trotskyist and father of William Kristol who appears nightly on the news and in print.

Keep in mind, the neoconservatives were born from Trotskyist origins and opposed Stalinist brand of Communism.

How about Sulayman al-Faris aka Hamza Walker Lindh formerly known as John Walker Lindh, born to Catholic parents in the US joined the Taliban?

or Adam Yahiye Gadahn aka Adam Perlman, born to Jewish parents in the US, grandfather was on the board of directors of the Anti Defamation League and grandmother was an editor of The Chronicle Christian Newspaper, joined Al Qaeda? Even more interesting is that he first converted to Christianity and he and his wife Jennifer changed their name to Gadhan, after the Biblical warrior Gid'on or Gideon. Talk about a guy all over the place.

Since you asked for examples

Not likely - then they'd have to admit who they really sympathize with and who they are rooting for.

What is it about this guys story that certain posters don't seem to like? Forget about which network interviewed him - the story would be the same regardless.

I really am curious.

If you believed him would that burst your bubble and opinions about hamas? Would that make you face the fact that you really are sympathizing with terrorists?
