Not that I am aware of. They are generally against such practices. They just breed new members.

TexasFred? Yeah, that inspires a vote of confidence!

See, here's the thing with the internet...you need to be selective when you Google. Any moron with a keyboard can start a blog. There is a reason why you don't find most bloggers contributing to reliable and vaild sources.

Since truthers are trying to establish that the US Government has no problem killing 3,000 innocent people, and tens of thousands in the conflict following 9/11 - then why wouldn't they kill off just a few more folks? What is just a few more lives to them to make sure this conspiracy is successful?

USA has more than one religion and the Muslim faith is the fastest growing religion in the US. If she's only going to cater to one religious base, she'll never get elected.

Seems like you take what Koko has mistakenly implied and run with it. Try finding the facts instead of running with nonsense.

Actually there are many Muslims who see it as part of their religion to convert non-Muslims. I speak from personal experience as I used to work with devout Muslims. Also there are areas of London where Islam is the majority religion and you will see them proselytising, distributing leaflets, standing on soap boxes, etc.

This is the type of ignorance and tendency to form beliefs on mistaken premises that I was referring to earlier in this thread. These are the type of people that bought what Hitler sold.

Not sure if you're referring to my post or the discussion preceding it. But I can assure that my post was not based on ignorance.

You can't really have a group unless you have distinguished yourself from other groups in a way that makes your group superior, otherwise nobody would be interested in it.

Conversion happens in all religions and this is a method of furthering it. And, Judaism too allows for conversion through marriage, honorary and individual inclusion. Indoctrination usually happens through schools at a young age in all religions when people are impressionable. In addition, some religions, including Muslim, have severe consequences for people leaving a religion.

Luther's 95th thesis was a statement of oppression and Calvin used coercion.

The inquisitions were also no small event, but such things are not unique to Catholicism.

At the least, religions uses passive aggressiveness. At worst, out right violence.

So again, the purpose of religion is to spread, not shrink.

Maybe I misread it thinking that you said it was an inside job. Sorry.

This particular post or the entire thread? My response to the thread was Bachman's religious approach to appease the base.

To the individual posters, I'm answering:

TheWRiteAlax: Message #13
Jillio: message #14: It's not project it's real
Jillo: message #34

And a few others. The thread is about Muslims and Bachman.

Edit: or more precise her use of it.
