Schieffer: Christianity 'Has Nuts Too'

 
On Sunday’s Face the Nation on CBS, host Bob Schieffer tried to provide some perspective on the Fort Hood shooting, committed by an Islamic extremist: “It’s looking more and more like he was just, sort of, a religious nut. And you know Islam doesn’t have a majority – or the Christian religion has its full, you know, full helping of nuts too.” Read more...

A once great journalist, now a craven, boot-licking mouth piece, worshipping at the alter of political correctness. He is ripe for a "Dan Rather-like" self-immolation. And the political hack? A RINO, worshipping at the same alter. Both of them, soon to fade...

Timothy McVeigh was another nut. Where is he now? Was his act not considered terrorism? I see no difference other than their cause. I guarantee if someone went into a Islamic community center and mowed people down in the name of Christ, they would be lit up and in the ground quicker than you can spit. No excuses, no coddling.

An academic Question [oxymoron] For the defenders of Islam. When in the last 300 years has any follower of Islam contributed anything of significance to humanity, civilization, our planet? Exclude Obama his contributions have only served your and his cause.
