I actually received one of the mentioned postcards because I live in that district. <br /><br />Read through it and laughed...because it was written as a sarcastic "promo" for the D candidate. <br /><br />But perhaps many read it as simply fear. <br /><br />Here's the deal our district has been solidly D for ages. So a little division in our delegation is not a bad thing. <br /><br />UNFORTUNATELY the rest of the state has the same problem but in the R direction. AND Angie B. had NO ONE run against her. <br /><br />FYI I did not make the video you linked to. And here's some more on multi-faith conversations: http://www.mercy-church.org/wordpress/?p=3292 <br /><br />---<br />And how does one have a conversation with someone who feels that you are less than human until you convert?

I don't cite that argument to endorse it. I seek only to juxtapose the propaganda Christian fundamentalists give us about Islam and the propaganda they use to trick people into voting for their Christian fundamentalist agenda.caheidelbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03261598066395322681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-28666694259754141052010-11-05T06:45:23.067-06:002010-11-05T06:45:23.067-06:00Taqiyya is a an allowance by the Quran to deny one...Taqiyya is a an allowance by the Quran to deny one's faith if it should end up in your death. Some faiths would say that by doing so, you deny the faith. Muslims here would say that they're allowed to do so to save their life. Historically, Christians, as a juxtaposition, have believed they must not deny their beliefs publically because it's by the "blood of the Lamb and their TESTIMONY" that they are saved. <br /><br />So, I don't see that you could use this loophole the Quran gives Muslims and twist it as a source of deceit used for political gain. Maybe some Islamic fundamentalists go so far, maybe some CHRISTIAN FUNDAMENTALISTS claim this falsely...but it's not a fair conclusion to this article about the more rabid, insidious tactics of the Republicans.<br /><br />As another 'reasonable Christian neighbor,' I flinched for Muslims when I read this.
