I am looking back through old threads and I can't find anything, perhaps I'm not using the correct search words, but maybe you can help me out anyhow.
Did you call for "the world" in general and "us" in particular to step in, demand that it stop and then cut the people off from economic support and food when the monks in Tibet were under attack? Were you asking for sanctions against China? How about Venezuela where Jews are being viciously attacked? Have you come to the defense of Shi’a Muslims in Saudi Arabia or The Buddhist monks in Burma? Muslims are having a particularily hard time in Tajikistan - perhaps we should lend a hand there, too?
Or are you assuming that because we are a "Christian" nation that we should only run to the defense of other Christians? Which is strange, because I was always under the assumption that religion and state were separate in this country.
I don't mind going to the defense of Christians in Egypt if it comes to it - but, in the interest of fairness to all, shouldn't we be equally willing to go to the aid of Muslims in Tajikistan and Buddhists in Burma and Jews in Venezuela as well?
Unless, of course, it only matters if you've got a dog in this particular race. |
So I answered your detailed questions/challenge and now you've got nothing to write in reply? Do you only like to reply to me if you don't like what I post?
You've replied to other posts, so I know it's not because you haven't been online with us.
