By the way, which is more ignorant: assuming semitic refers to Jews (which, according to the dictionary, it does) or that every practitioner of Islam is semitic?

Again, you’re wrong. All Jews are Jews, but not all people who ascribe to Islam are Arabs. Therefore, the comments are not anti-semitic. To spell it out: the comments aren’t directed at a specific ethnicity, but towards a subset of a religious movement that promotes terror.

Listen to the video and note how the speaker distinguishes between peaceful Islam and radical Islam. He isn’t religion-bashing, or bashing at all, but pointing out the ways a group happens to be linked to terrorism.

Ignorance is bliss! Anti-Semitic statements were made against the Islamic Faith, being a religion that started in Arabia. In the event you never learned this, Arabs are also Semites! Surprised? That makes Arab Christians and Arab Muslims, along with Jews Semites. Look it up in the dictionary. Part two is something you are unaware of because you look at things superficially. The claim in the video was about Islam being an intolerant religion. Really? Do you see it now or do I have to spell it out for you that Christianity (or Judaism) then, in the eyes of any other faith is just as intolerant when reading the quoted verses I mentioned.

You do know what anti-semitic comments are, right? Well, maybe you don’t. First: watch the video again, and write down every negative reference the speaker makes toward the Jews. When you tally the references up, you should have a grand total of zero. Making such an incorrect statement to start off your post really blows your platform of credibility away.

I am not sure what your second argument is, aside from it being of the straw man variety. If the Bible says that Christians should brutally punish offenders of its laws and precepts, the Christians of America are quite obviously in violation. However, the video is not about pushing Christianity or the Christian agenda. It is about an organization that sponsors terror; namely, CAIR. The speaker in the movie is making an argument, whereby he asserts that CAIR is tied to terrorist activity. His quotes come from United States senators, amongst other reputable sources.

At any rate, if you want to make an argument, make one against the validity of the video speaker’s claims. Prove him wrong, by bringing forth evidence. Don’t arbitrarily come in here and run off on a tangent stating that Christianity is as barbaric as Islam. That isn’t what the thread is about.

And if these “zealots” just read their Bibles, they would have found the following verses:

Deuteronomy 12

12:30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.

Deuteronomy
21:18 If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them:
21:19 Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;
21:20 And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard.
21:21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.
