We're Not A Christian Nation, We're One Of The Larger Muslim Nations

[Chicken Little]

Don't take it personally Little, but you've contributed zip to this thread.

I'm thinking you've either misinterpreted or misidentified me if you can conclude that I don't like Obama or Muslims.  You are thinking of OTHER people, not me.

[OpenYourEyesTulsa]

Obama was raised as a muslim, by a muslim father, went to muslim school as a child, has a muslim name, and now reaches out to muslims and Iran (that wants to blow Israel off the planet).

If it looks like duck, quacks like a duck...

Anybody else getting PM's from Timmy wanting to fight you?

[Townsend]

Fight? How about a debate? How about trying to grow up? Now if you think that was an invitation to a fight . . .

Well now Timmy, what would you call it?

[Townsend]

An ambiguous remark.  Funny how that works.

Seemed pretty clear.  Try to relax.

[Townsend]

Seemed 'pretty clear' the O put his foot in his mouth, sucked on it, chewed a little, and you all are telling him he is tasting filet mignon.

OK

Inhofe Rips Obama As 'Un-American,' Suggests He's On The Side Of Terrorists

and many at TNF wonder why Tulsa kids leave never to come back and why there seems to be few if any companies wanting to relocate to Green Country.

Jimmy is a proxy for AIPAC. He was part of the move towards an unwindable down, unwinable and unnecessary war in Iraq.

Easy to see what side Inhoffe is on... the old, worn out and wrong side.

[Townsend]

Well now I just look crazy.  Time to have a few Marshall's.

[Hoss]

Anybody else getting PM's from Timmy wanting to fight you?

Yep, he must be sending out a PM blast.  I got essentially the same thing.

if you want to keep trying to goad me have it, at least i had the nads to use my real name and not some totally hidden bogus bullcrap

Ok, I've taken some time to analyze the statement made by the president, and it is in fact correct (I know, I was shocked).

Pound for pound, we are one of the largest Muslim nations.  Our Muslims may be 18% to 25% larger than Muslims in other countries.  If you take the statistics attributed to the average American weight compared to the average weights of the citizenry in Indonesia, Pakistan and other primarily Muslim countries, one could accurately conclude that our Muslims are larger.

So if he is talking about Large Muslims, than I would have to conclude that he's right. 

Argument over.

Oh well, I'll live to argue another point another day, I'm sure.  You win.

Look if TulsaNow thinks it is okay for you and Townsend to harass me on these boards, fine.  Every thread now you just stalk me and say nothing but call me names.  Wonder what is wrong with Tulsa look in the mirror, people.  If this board is a microcosm of our town I would not want to move here, or to get out as fast as I can.

Then please do, by all means.

And stalking?  Hardly.  I've responded to probably two threads you're in within the last month.  Put on the big-boy pants please.

Do what? I have the big boy pants on, just really wish you would act like an adult instead of a punk sniping bizat**.  I really thought we had gotten over your immaturity but I guess not.

You seem to confuse the behavior of others with your own behavior. It's making it impossible to have civil discourse when you repeat yourself constantly, refuse to acknowledge reality, and repeatedly use archaic words you obviously don't understand.

Meanwhile, back on topic...

There are millions of muslims in this country.

This argument reminds me of when the Pope came to Chicago... city officials proudly stated there were more Poles in Chicago than there are in Warsaw...... I've been told over and over again, that America is a baseball/football country, yet I also understand that out of over 200 countries trying to qualify for the World Cup, the US men's national team is well on their way to qualifying for the 32-team 2010 World Cup Finals-- the sixth straight time dating back to 1990.....

It works like this.... we can argue that America is a "Christian Nation" or a "Judeo-Christian" nation, which conveniently leaves out the truth I remember from back when I lived on the northside of Chicago off Devon/Western-- a predominately muslim/Pakistani/Indian area... there are many areas like this all around the country, not to mention the consistent influx of muslim students at our universities... and these citizens and visitors to our country shouldn't be shortchanged by the soft bigotry of low-minded evangelicals...

From the comments section:  As an American Muslim, I appreciate what the President is getting at. But it is a bit of an exaggeration to say that the US could be considered one of the LARGEST Muslim countries in the world. There's still only less than 10 million of us (typically anti-Muslim bigots tend to give the lowest, low-ball estimates, while identity politics playing leaders within Muslim communities favor higher end estimates). Besides, the US is SECULAR, democratic country, not one defined by ANY religion, "racial" or ethnic group. What he perhaps could have said is that the US is one of the freest and best countries in the world to be a practicing Muslim, or for that matter a member of any or no religion.  - Naj
