If Scientologists started killing people as Muslims do, would they get more respect?

I like the way you think.\n\nHopefully TomKat will lead the way!

I am with you on both counts...\n\nI think it is possible that SOMEONE in the world would use that to penetrate security and perhpas do damage and since that iIS the case then they have a right to mitigate that security risk. That isn't some made up hyped up way to offend people this is a very real issue that is a very real possiblity and thus is well within thier rights and responsibilities to do so.\n\nI am a realist and as such would like to be as safe as possible and if that means someone has to take off thier head covering to be identified properly to ensure the safety of everyone else, then, well, that is the way it is...\n\n\n*PS.. I would also ban religious paraphernalia too but will save that for another anwswer... because I know I am probably already going to get some thumbs down and I will be accused of hating muslims which is NOT th case, I am friends with several Muslims... and I would like THEM to be safe as well...

Yes, I would. \n\nI would be shocked if people wouldn't vote for someone just because of their religion. I hope they're at least willing to admit they're bigoted

I think yes.  I think muslims should be profiled over other nationalities since they are the ones committing the terrorists act.

HEY YEAH DUDE YOU ARE CORRECT BUT WE MUST RESPECT CHRISTIANS BECAUSE IF THEY LEAD A GOOD LIFE THEY CAN BE SEEN JUST AS RIGHTEOUS IN THE EYES OF GOD AND THAT GOES FOR MUSLIMS TOO

Cultures vary in their version of Justice.\n\nIf you were under a Muslim Government, Christians and Jews would be murdered as infidels.\n\nIf it were a Western Government, Muslims would revolt.\n\nMuch as they are now.

Of course. This has always been the case.\n\nReligions are very good at manipulating the masses. As long as you cater to the people's beliefs, you can make them do just about anything you want. Hence, things Islamic terrorism and the Christian crusades.\n\nA lot of the people in the US who think they are religious are mostly just fooling themselves. Why? Because they're okay with the idea of killing thousands of Iraqi's while at the same time opposing abortion. Because they're okay with torture and extrordinary rendition.\n\nThe New Testament does not contain a passage that says, "Thou shalt not kill, unless thine enemy is believed to possesth Weapons Of Mass Destruction". Nor is there a passage that says, "If thine enemey be a terrorist, thou shalt torture thine enemy. If thy countrymen opposeth thy torture, then thou shalt move thine terrorist to a foriegn country and tortureth mightily".\n\nThe new testament teaches about forgiveness and turning the other cheek. It teaches about loving thy enemy and tolerance. In other words, it teaches exactly opposite of what most religious people seem to believe.\n\nReligion has always been a tool of th powerful.\n\nI say that all these people should just stop pretending and modify their religion to support these double standards, instead of trying to justify their actions by forcing special interpretations of a 2000 year old book about invisible sky wizards. The new religion should be called something like "The American Testament: My God Will Kick Your A$$". Book I could be the Book of Bush which details the story of the Prophet Rumsfeld and the trials and tribulations of an oil farmer named Cheney.\n\n~X~

Absolutely!!!\n\nHow can you ever justify chopping someones head of in the name of religion?\n\nWhen ever something happens that they don't like, you see demonstrations on the street with banners saying kill non believers?? How can you call this anything other than a wicked faith??\n\nAnd don't try to tell me its a minority, has anyone seen the demonstrations,,, you don't see muslims asking the people with all the banners to stop it do you??\n\nAny religion, not just muslims, that tell people its OK to use violence to solve problems is a wicked faith full stop.\n\nJust look at the countries where this faith is!!!! Rest my case.

Yes.  Islamic fundamentalist's brain wash children and teach them to hate... it is no surprise then, that they grow up to perpetuate that hate.

Not at all.  There was a recent case of this in Africa, with her sentence (being buried to the neck and stoned) being "reconsidered" because of the international reaction.  Other behaviors have been protested, too.  The South American custom of a man murdering his divorced wife if she starts to date again, and calling it a matter of "honor".  Indian women being burned in a "cooking accident" because the dowry didn't come through.  Why should Muslims be given a pass?  They just convicted a man in Georgia for cutting his daughter's clitoris off with a pair of scissors in order to be sure she remained "good".  He may protest his sentence, but she'll suffer longer than he will.  This isn't ethnocentricity.  It's an ability to empathize with a person who suffers.  Those without the ability to empathize aren't faithful to any religion; they're merely psychopaths.

ANYONE who kills in the name of their religion is acting outwith it and do not represent it.\n\nPeople who claim interpretations that allow them to are deluding themselves to assume social acceptable.\n\nBTW if people who are Islamic/christian who kill do not kill because they are Islamic/christian, they do it in pursuit of an aim.\n\nIf a vegetarian kills, does that make vegetarians killers? (class discuss)\n\nPeace out

IT WOULD ONLY MAKE MUSLIMS MAD.\n\nTHAT MYTH IS BUSTED.\n\nWITHOUT McGRUFF THE CRIME STOPPER*\n\n\nYour only going to Bust..false gods.  They already have been Busted.

Its very well possible. Remeber people are willing to kill in the name of Allah and will get an promtion in heaven with an orgy and virgins.

Certainly. In fact, if ALL religions were equally respected or if ALL religions were equally non-existant, we would have a LOT more peace than we do now.

That's a very hard question to answer, and it takes a lot of thought. \nIf it were ABSOLUTE that they would do as they now have, then yes, I'd kill them at birth even. But, if there was ANY WAY AT ALL to possibly change/altar/completely bypass all the horrid things they both did as adults, then I would do whatever it took to see to it that both Hitler and Bin Laden's lives took a different path, one that wasn't so filled with hate, misunderstanding, and abuse. Then, they probably wouldn't go around being so prejudiced, or killing innocent people period--let alone massively as they did, etc\nI am by no means a person that leans towards violence as an asnwer to anything, let alone murder. But, knowing what I do now, and if the events that happened later in their lives couldn't be changed for the better, then I would terminate their lives before they could terminate so many others' lives. (I would rather two people die as apposed to the millions who died because of Hitler and Bin Laden and all their 'groupies.'  Wouldn't you?

Maybe this is only matter of disrespect, as this kind of things happened all the time no matter to what religion...if people always take these too seriosly, they may able to express their point/feeling, but they also lost the peace among others then what is the benefit?\n\nIf muslim have true peace in their heart, they won't bother.
