Rethink the story

in rethink •  7 years ago 

I realize that many of us have learned about the crusades, and somewhere along the way some of us has even heard "how violent and cruel christianity is".  The person (that is normaly trying to point out flaws in the christian faith) will say things like hundreds and thousands of innocent men women and children were brutaly slaughtered at the hands of the crusaders (https://www.britannica.com/event/Crusades) and I am certain that there was wrong done.  However it appears to me that we are currently re-living history.  But this go around do not look for fortified castles, because walls/fences are not normally used the same way as they were



Today the edges of a fortress might be a street or a certain building.  It might look like this



But as I have pointed out before all muslims do not act the same way, and therefore all people that are muslim can not be dealt with equally.  (Again let me say that I am a christian and I am convinced that the only way to heaven is by accepting JESUS CHRIST as LORD.  I am not trying to excuse any person for not excepting JESUS weather muslim or non muslim)  Rather I am saying that we should physically respond diffrently to islamic groups that want to violently kill the infidel (and it that case some muslims want to end the life of everyone that does not believe like they do, which are christians, jews, and other muslims)


I propose that the people that wants everyone to treat all muslims the same, they are covertly part of the problem.

Like a theif that preforms his/her actions under cover of darkness, there are members of society that want to confuse the story.  The confusion that is spread is subtle.  This is how a straw man is set up.



But who would intentionaly mislead someone...lot of people.  But to name a couple:

     #1.  The mainstream news media.

Although to be fair the news media is just a gaurd dog that does not have an adgenda of there own, rather the news media helps to promote other people's adgendas.

     #2.  Politicians

Politicians like to twist things (remember a cleverly placed lye will contain 99% truth).  Often times Politians try to manipulate the public by sidesteping the actual issue.


A lot of history is twisted to cause people to think a certain way...Like the amercian cival war, people are told that the war was fought because of slavery.  I just want to point out that confederate general Robert E. Lee had this to say about the war that was fought over "slavery"
