It DOES make a difference. Firstly, if you are posting under your name something that someone else has written, then it is only common courtesy for you to give the author name. It may also be a legal requirement. Secondly, if we know the source of the article then we can comment more accurately on its veracity or otherwise.

As far as that article's vercity goes - it's fit only for the trash can. I note you conveniently just happened to miss out all that article's religious garbage (in particular, the "final war" stuff) in the excerpt you quoted.

1- The fonts were different!!!
2- It's necessary only when you're writing a school paper.
3- Even when I gave you the source, you couldn't comment, so it did NOT make a difference.
4- Well the trash can must be pretty full, since there are hundreds of articles out there on the same subject! hahaha

A fact is a confirmed event. You cannot confirm something that has not yet happened. 'Factual meaning' is a technical term used in philosophy to denote whether or not a claim can be verified or falsified, in principle. Your claim can, but not until 100 years pass. As of the present moment, your claim has no factual meaning and certainly cannot be said to be a fact.

what I said about the population growth rate is a fact now... if things don't change, it will be a fact for 100 years from now.

Do you think those rates are static? Have they never changed and will they never change? If so, then you have a good reason to conclude that your claim is likely to become true. That still doesn't make it a fact.

I recall myself saying "if things don't change"....

You don't consider the country you were born in and grew up in to be your country? What is, then?

No I don't... I'm Armenian, thus my country is Armenia, I also consider the US to be my country, but the Muslim country I was born in (Iran).... hell no (weird I know!).

So do you think that is a good policy? To force everyone to wear the hijab regardless of their faith? I would certainly say it is not. It is equally bad policy to force someone not to wear a hijab. Complete freedom of religious expression (excluding human sacrifices and such) should be guaranteed everywhere.

No, it's not a good policy, but I understand it's their policy since it's their country and if I choose to live in it, I need to respect that. THIS is why Christians should live in Christian countries and Muslims in Muslim.

Germany has no religion! It is not a theocracy, there is no state-sanctioned faith. It is a secular country.

We're talking about Europe in general.... not just Germany.

Kind of like the don't ask, don't tell policy, eh?

Not really... since there are hundreds of mosques in Europe and Muslims are free to practice their religion.

I thought of this thread when I read this, so I'm posting it here... Very funny, I must add...

The middle paragraph that blames the Jews for the Holocaust sounds awfully familiar.

Palestinian Friday Sermon by Sheik Ibrahim Mudeiris: Muslims Will Rule America and Britain, Jews Are a Virus Resembling AIDS

The following are excerpts from a Friday sermon on Palestinian Authority TV. The preacher is Sheik Ibrahim Mudeiris. PA TV aired this sermon on May 13, 2005

Ibrahim Mudeiris: Allah has tormented us with "the people most hostile to the believers" – the Jews. "Thou shalt find that the people most hostile to the believers to be the Jews and the polytheists." Allah warned His beloved Prophet Muhammad about the Jews, who had killed their prophets, forged their Torah, and sowed corruption throughout their history.

With the establishment of the state of Israel, the entire Islamic nation was lost, because Israel is a cancer spreading through the body of the Islamic nation, and because the Jews are a virus resembling AIDS, from which the entire world suffers.

You will find that the Jews were behind all the civil strife in this world. The Jews are behind the suffering of the nations.

Ask Britain what it did to the Jews in the early sixth century. What did they do to the Jews? They expelled them, tortured them, and prevented them from entering Britain for more than 300 years. All this was because of what the Jews did in Britain. Ask France what it did to the Jews. They tortured them, expelled them, and burned their Talmud, because of the civil strife the Jews wanted to spark in France, in the days of Louis XIX. Ask Portugal what it did to the Jews. Ask Czarists Russia, which welcomed the Jews, who plotted to kill the Czar - so he massacred them. But don't ask Germany what it did to the Jews. It was the Jews who provoked Nazism to wage war against the entire world, when the Jews, using the Zionist movement, got other countries to wage an economic war on Germany and to boycott German merchandise. They provoked Russia, Britain, France, and Italy. This enraged the Germans toward the Jews, leading to the events of those days, which the Jews commemorating today.

But they are committing worse deeds than those done to them in the Nazi war. Yes, perhaps some of them were killed and some burned, but they are inflating this in order to win over the of the media and gain the world's sympathy. The worst crimes in history were committed against the Jews, yet these crimes are no worse than what the Jews are doing in Palestine. What was done to the Jews was a crime, but isn't what the Jews are doing today in the land of Palestine not a crime?!

Look at modern history. Where has Great Britain gone? Where has Czarist Russia gone? Where has France gone - France, which almost ruled the entire world? Where is Nazi Germany, which massacred millions and ruled the world? Where did all these superpowers go? He who made them disappear will make America disappear too, God willing. He who made Russia disappear overnight is capable of making America disappear and fall, Allah willing.

We have ruled the world before, and by Allah, the day will come when we will rule the entire world again. The day will come when we will rule America. The day will come when we will rule Britain and the entire world – except for the Jews. The Jews will not enjoy a life of tranquility under our rule, because they are treacherous by nature, as they have been throughout history. The day will come when everything will be relieved of the Jews - even the stones and trees which were harmed by them. Listen to the Prophet Muhammad, who tells you about the evil end that awaits Jews. The stones and trees will want the Muslims to finish off every Jew.

I think that Islam is getting bigger by the hour but should we be worried? Just because a group is growing that does not make them right. Islam is a religion full of hatred and evil. Their leader had a wife (age 9) very sad- Millions of people are following this false religion and pretty much damned. Christianity is the only religion that promotes love and peace. I don't worry about Islam taking over because Christians can be few but have a larger impact on the people.

I have many friends who are muslims- but most follow their faith blindly--- if they queston their faith I believe most will abandon islam in a second. I love debating with Muslims because it shows them how ignorant their religion really is.

But hey- they are human and we need to reach out to them as well---I guess?

[TomServo]

I think Atheism is getting bigger.

[dopey]

they sure are--- BUT THEY ARE BUNCH OF IDIOTS IF YOU ASK ME- MY FRIEND- AN ARMENIAN- BECAME AN ATHIEST ABOUT A YEAR AGO-- LITTLE WIERDO NOW ACTS SO DIFFERENT--- He just says if there was God he would be RICH$$$$ My response lways is that work you a##hole and you might have a chance--- But again who cares? not me lol lol lol

Christianity is the only religion that promotes love and peace.

When Christianity had Europe in the dark ages and medieval Islam kept the light of classical civilization alive by translating and keeping a library of Greek and Roman works, what happened? Christianity went in and massacred Islam. Don't you think it's a little simplistic to just say that Islam is evil and Christianity is the only religion that promotes love and peace? Aside from the fact that, as an institution, Christianity has done nothing of the sort for most of its history, what about Buddhism? Taoism? Wicca? Jainism? Do these not promote peace and love?

[dopey]

I don't care what so called Christians have done in the past-- just because a group claims they are what they claim that doesnt make them christian.... read the nEW Testament and than read the Koran-- I can provide you with some text from the koran but you are to blind to see--

[loseyourname]

I'm sorry, this seems a bit illusory because undelying this is the concept of property rights. People can't just live where they please. As the old saying goes, fences make good neighbors.

I don't see how a group of people attains the property rights to an entire region simply by virtue of having a majority. If a house is for sale and a black man wants to move into a predominantly white neighborhood, he should have that right. There is plenty of land that no one has any property right to, in that no one lives on it or uses it. You can't claim it as yours simply because people you are descended from used to live on it. That's just silly.

plus that was the Catholic church not Christianty0--- and if you ask me little child molesters are wrong to
