Get uncomfortable with Muslims on an Airplane?

[Walks_in_islam]

It is respectfully noted that Muslims dress according to their country of orgin. There is no "Muslim costume" to wear but an idea may be to have those muslim peoples sew something on their shirt, like a star or something, to be easily identified.

On another note, since I see you are in Brazil, whats with this story? Is this the <drinky> Judge's wife who was helping herself to the booze in the back? LOL. THAT's acting western......

The Transportation Security Administration says the marshals were on a Continental Airlines flight Friday from Houston to Rio de Janiero. They had to subdue a passenger.

I have no bones to pick with you my friend...I just don't feel confortable around a religion that is known for killing...

[Walks_in_islam]

Nor I with you but are you actually and publicly implying that there is no relationship between christianity and killing?

Thanksgiving was just celebrated. Do you know why those people landed on that shore in Plymouth (allegedly but the question stands) and what they were doing there?

Hint: They were NOT there to make money

I find no record of Christian killing in the New Testament..

I sure don't plan to kill anyone not even an enemy....

The question went unanswered. The answer was that the Pilgrams landed on our soil to escape the persecution of the Church of England.

Of note and returning to modern times was a speech in 1933, one of many as the Nazi party was rising in post-WW I Germany:

"The National Government regards the two Christian confessions as factors essential to the soul of the German people. ... We hold the spiritual forces of Christianity to be indispensable elements in the moral uplift of the German people."

Hitler's writings state:

"There were very few Jews in Linz. In the course of centuries the Jews who lived there had become Europeanized in external appearance and were so much like other human beings that I even looked upon them as Germans. The reason why I did not then perceive the absurdity of such an illusion was that the only external mark which I recognized as distinguishing them from us was the practice of their strange religion."

Your comments and earlier comments on Muslims are very much like the above comments on Jews. "They look like us so we will single them out and distinguish them because of their strange religion". Fact of the matter is from the times of the Romans through the Middle Ages to the 20th Century the "Christian Church" has always defined, persecuted, murdered, and tortured physical enemies. I find no record of Christian killing in the New Testament either. But snce 312 AD (long, long before Islam) under Constantine the killing started in the name of christianity and has continued to modern times. Islam is just the latest "enemy" in centuries of "christian purification". It seems that you cannot exist without someone somewhere who is different to persecute.

Sporadic killing continues today. Dont like Abortion? Kill the doctor. The KKK and extreme right-wing groups still and today reference the "Aryan Christ" view of the Nazi party. And it just goes on and on.

I am also uncomfortable with a religion that is known for so much killing and bloodshed.

Things have changed, the problem is for many Muslims around the globe, but certainly not most, things remain the same.

Nobody denies the history of Christianity includes wretched individuals that did horrid things in the name of Christianity.

Persecution is practiced by whoever is in power. Delude yourself into thinking human nature has or ever will change

A Muslim community leader in the Nigerian town of Yelwa said yesterday that 630 bodies had been buried there after an attack by Christian militia on Sunday. The previous estimate of the death toll was 300.
Survivors of the attacks said many people were still missing and the final death toll could reach 1,000. Another 600 were said to be seriously wounded.

"We buried a total of 630 people yesterday, 1,500 people were injured and 600 were taken for emergency treatment," the community leader, Abdullahi Abdullahi, said.

Yeah, it never happens. Why do you think our troops went to Bosnia? Bird-watching?
