Democrats Refuse to Say "Radical Islam"

That's just not true though, most Democrats are White Christians.

Source? If it's a left-leaning one then don't even bother to post it. Looks like you have democrats mixed up with republicans.

Most can claim it. But actions speak louder then words. I have a hard time believing Obama says he's "Christian."

It's funny because as you said a true Christian would never support something that denies an innocent babies right to live.

Only an idiot would actually believe him considering all the things he's done and how he's been so criticizing of Christianity while constantly praising Islam. He's no Christian.

So wait, if I said I was not a bank robber, but then went around robbing banks..

What am I?

By your standards, then there's not a single true Christian, as I doubt any single Christian lives their life strictly by the teachings of Christ. Tell me, do you love your enemy?

No, I don't believe every democrat thinks abortion is a good thing. Some people put morals above politics. Most people here are atheists, so they put politics as their "god." And there is a difference between a JKF Democrat and a Obama liberal democrat.

Then you're not a Christian by your own standards.

Or you can just accept that most "Lefties/Democrats" are White Christians, since that's what the majority of the US is, as I showed you the demographics.

Turning to ad hominem fallacy now?

Not an Ad hominem to point out your own set of rules.

B42 also posted links to show it.

Which set of rules? Are you really going to start trying to tell me about Christianity and quoting bible scriptures? If so mind doing it in the religious forum?

You took it upon yourself to set abortion as the defining quality of a Christian, so I decided to do one myself.

Or you can just accept the data that shows that most Democrats are both White and Christian, as that's what America is mostly composed of, White Christians, it's there to see/read.

Yea random sources bardock posts are all encompassing and accurate and represent peoples true nature. Gotcha.

This will just de rail the thread, you can have the last word.

What I posted was the wiki to US Demographics and all the data is sourced, you can verify it by going to the links at the bottom of the page.

In short: Pick your battles better, don't argue for something that is easily disproven.

If what you say is true, which I believe it is, its kinda sad honestly that you would be more antagonistic of christians who go to church on Sundays and really don't bother anyone. I don't mean that as a insult either so please don't take it that way..

i have seen a few muslims here and there... identifiable only by the fact that that they wear the traditional garbs. but i haven't actually interacted with any of them. but there is no heavy islamic presence in general. i believe the nearest mosque is in charlotte.. which as i said is nearly an hour (or more, depending on traffic) away.

but i have lived in other places as an adult... namely south florida (west palm area) and rhode island (pawtucket, just north of providence). both of which are relatively cosmopolitan... neither of which had any notable muslim presence. it's odd because there were muslims in florida... but the only place i ever seemed to encounter them was in ghetto corner stores. every ghetto corner store seemed to be owned and run by muslims... yet i never seemed to see them anywhere else. there was one right next to my house and i knew the people who ran it... they were decent people... not at all religiously intolerant or conservative.

but i have encountered quite a bit of christian intolerance... and christianity plays a visible role in american politics. hence why i noted the antagonism. but i am not openly hostile towards christians.. and i try my best to be diplomatic with them. i have no problem with the moderates. but the simple fact is there's a sizable portion of the american population that is not so moderate. and secularists and atheists such as myself will just never see eye to eye with those people... so they are obviously a political enemy as far as i am concerned. the honest ones among their ranks will tell you the same thing about us, so i honestly could care less about any allegations that i am being intolerant. i'm just being straight forward and not mincing words.. a quality that many conservatives seem to endorse in theory yet not in practice.

Now, random sources, the Pew Research Center and Gallup are two of the most respected, non-partisan, statistical research organisations...

Most enlightening. 👆

I'll say this, Radical Islam is not the worst term in the world. It's at least making a distinction that there's different types of Islam, if in an overly broad manner.

But this isn't a discussion about people not-being-allowed-to-say Radical Islam. It's about, as the thread title says, people getting mad because other people prefer other, more specific terms. Not because of inaccuracy, but because of a preference for a specific term.

so i'll be honest, i really don't know how this entire thing started.. who was the first one to bring this shit up then? if it was just obama not saying the term radical islam, who noticed that? i'd ask whoever responds to try to be specific, and not just say fox news or something like that. cause it's weird to me if obama/the democrats weren't making any noise about not using the term, they just weren't using it... and someone combed through all their speeches and said "you never once used this term"... it almost seems like there would have been some directive among the democrats and perhaps the more liberal parts of the media not to use the term, which in turn some right winger picked up on. if i'm wrong and there was no such directive... and the right wing literally just manufactured this issue... then it's a non-issue and should be dismissed as such.
