Islamic militants praise 'heroic' slaughter of pregnant woman, 4 daughters

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Catholic : One Thread

This is Hamas: Some who post here need reminding what the enemy is like we are fighting. Those who did the shooting, riddled the car with bullets, then walked up and shot everyone in the car in the head, including the children. They then fired into the mother's belly to make sure her unborn child was dead as well.

Bill, question: What does this have to do with our Catholic forum?

-- Ed (catholic4444@yahoo.ca), May 03, 2004.

Bill,

My prayers are with them.

Ed,

How is this different from the "Mission Accomplished" thread?

-- Brian Crane (brian.crane@cranemills.com), May 03, 2004.


Brian, your point is well-taken. The other day, I checked out the top fourteen threads in the forum. Nine of them had to do with American politics and were loosely, some very loosely, tied to Catholic themes. This is a concern of mine: that the forum is becoming an apparatus for American political discussion.

-- Ed (catholic4444@yahoo.ca), May 04, 2004.


Ed,

Perhaps it's time to bump the rules again.

Ed,

This war we are engaged in is a war of values and morals and a war where religions collide. I think it is pertanent to a religious forum. If you don't please delete.

Bill, your comment is debatable. I don’t think America is in the middle of a “religious” war. I don’t accept your comment that religions are colliding. Some American Muslims might take exception to this statement. Surely you’re not saying the war in the middle east is about Christianity vs. Islam, or Judaism vs. Islam. When it comes to Hamas, isn’t it about Israel and America declaring war on terrorists? Isn't the war in the middle east about two nations fighting over the same piece of land? Not all Muslims are terrorists, in fact, very few are. Surely you’re not blaming Islam for what Hamas did to this family? Who do you blame for the loss of thousands of innocent lives on the Palestinian side?

We all agree what was done to this family was horrific. This crime was carried out by murderers and all faiths, including Islam, condemn murder. I have no intention of deleting this thread. I simply wanted to remind everyone to tie their threads into the purpose of this forum when creating them.

-- Ed (catholic4444@yahoo.ca), May 04, 2004.


Ed, [you said to Bill]:

"...Bill, your comment is debatable.."

Exactly! Stop trying to control the subject of every thread that is started. This isn't suppose to be a Moderators job in a Catholic forum. Would it be better for you if Catholics send you a copy of threads before we post them?

Than you said to Bill: " I don't think America.........."

What does it matter what you think, if you don't want Bill to say what he thinks? Are you better than Bill?

-- - (David@excite.com), May 04, 2004.


America is in the middle of a religious war except the war began when america took sides in the jewish muslim war fifty plus years ago.

David

It was my impression that Ed was contributing to the thread not moderating it in that first paragraph. I felt like he was simply disagreeing with Bill not trying to control the tought. The second paragraph was as moderator. He was just doing double duty. Of course, I can't read his mind or intentions, so I could be wrong.

Dan, you're right. Sorry for the confusion. I will try use the title "Moderator" from now on when I am acting in that capacity.
