BOMBAY, India (AP) — Five people were killed Friday in Hindu-Muslim rioting and police gunfire after riots broke out during a general strike to protest the Rev. Jerry Falwell calling the founder of Islam a terrorist. Forty-seven others were injured.
...
The conservative Baptist minister told the television network Islam's prophet "was a — a violent man, a man of war."

"Jesus set the example for love, as did Moses," Falwell said. "I think Muhammad set an opposite example."

I'm speechless.

Just an observation: Jerry must have specially tailored pants to lug around balls that big.

:bigsmile:

It doesn't take balls to be a bigot.

Definitely not, but I can't imagine Mr. Falwell being very popular anywhere anymore. Seems to me the man either has a death wish, or is completely oblivious to the current geopolitical situation -- or both.

Hehehe, obviously he appears to be popular enough to be able to get on 60 Minutes. You should check out the transcript.

I agree definitely with Mahakaal. The guy obviously either wants attention or seriously is a bigot. To say such a retarded and demeaning thing is just so low class. The guy made it onto 60 Minutes, but you don't need talent or anything to get their, just a story or even something stupid.

What propels them? Why do they love Israel so much? The return of the Jews to their ancient homeland is seen by Evengelicals as a precondition for the Second Coming of Christ. Therefore, when the Jewish state was created in 1948 they saw it as a sign. Israel’s conquest of Jerusalem and the West Bank in 1967 deepened their excitement, heightened their anticipation. And today’s war between Jews and Arabs was also prophesized, they say. They’ve seen it all before – in the pages of the Bible

People seem to forget that north america has it's fair share of relgious nut casses.

The guy's an idiot. Seriously. He's the same guy who blamed gays for 9/11...

I point the finger in their face and say 'you helped this happen.'"

It amazes me how far detached from reality these people are. I could go on and on but I've done enough Christian bashing for one week... ;)

can anyone explain to me, why the hindus and muslims are fighting over what a christian said? Am i missing something here?

**********
The conservative Baptist minister told the television network Islam's prophet "was a — a violent man, a man of war."
**********

so in an attempt to prove him wrong 47 were hurt and 5 where killed. WTF

i really doubt that what Jerry Falwell says would influence anyone to act this way. if it did we would have killed each other off along time ago and become the real silent majority.

these people kill each other out of mutual hate. anything is a good excuse.

What farwell said was wrong to say, hes an ignorant, arrogant bigot. We all know that from our own experiances with him, but blaming the muslim-hindu hatred on him, come on

Jerry Farwell on 9/11:

**************
On the broadcast of the Christian television program "The 700 Club," Falwell made the following statement:

"I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America. I point the finger in their face and say 'you helped this happen.'"
**********************

does this call for a general strike? i wouldn't loose a days pay over this *******. whats the point of a strike if it dosn't affect the person your mad at anyway?

i think i would have to quit any group this man did support.

...along with the rest of the consious, non-insane world

heh, I know this is off topic but Mahakaal I wanted to say that while your sig/quote is nice it was never uttered by Caeser. It was also never in any Shakespere play like has been suggested.

This is a recent quote that has been attributed to a long dead legend.

Just thought you should know that ;)



El Diablo
thinks Falwell is a freak

This is what seems to have transpired...

Caesar returned to Rome in 46 BC and had the Senate appoint him dictator for ten years; he was given imperium over the Roman Empire and was, for all practical purposes, above the law and the constitution. Two years later he was appointed dictator for life, and he quickly assumed all the important offices in the government.

Whether he actually said those words is of course open to debate.

Maybe he's just playing another version of the CEO overinflated stock scam. i have doubts that his claim to 70 (or was it 80?) million followers on the 60 Minutes Show referenced by Mahakaal above is anywhere close to correct, and i can verify that he does not speak for anyone i know personally, nor apparently anyone on this forum, which leaves him with zero followers. That may not be a strictly scientific sampling, but it's close enough for me. Besides, i have *also* read about half of the "authorized" (follows a complicated process of historical verification, as much as can be validated for a largely word-of-mouth record in the beginning...) version of the Koran, and i find no urgings to violence yet, in fact i find quite the opposite so far. As i muddle through the rest of the massive text there might well be some reference to violence but if there is it will be in opposition to the half i've already finished. Besides, if everyone on the planet is related like brothers and sisters somewhere back there, and everyone claims Abraham and others for ancestors, why has everyone been fighting for as long as we have written history or fables to refer to? In 2002 we sure don't need any fools running around making rediculous, foundationless accusations and then claiming to speak for the entire Christian world! Besides, i've been hearing self appointed preachers (for lack of a better word) preaching gloom and doom and the end of days since i was about 5 years old, and it ain't happened yet! BTW, as for the "Left Behind" series mentioned, just multiply twenty-some bucks times the *++millions* of copies sold, and you can get a notion of what the bottom line might be, but then you gotta add the hefty fees for personal appearances by the authors.... I better stop here, before some of that 80 million Fallwell followers ... :(

I should imagine that this fella is about as poplular as a horny dog on a nudist beach - on both sides of the divide! It's bigotry like this (again on both sides of the divide) that got us into this mess in the first place.
