OT: Re : The Rise of Modern Islamism ** Was: Media Abuse

July 5, 2004

Hi Butch,

I got caught up with our move......realtor told us last Friday, we

have to " evacuate " the house within a week, so that painters can

start working here. Also, I guess this topic isn't welcomed on this

list, so I'll comment on a few things and wrap it up.

> PLEASE tell me where the Right broadcasts are coming from .. I

I don't listen them and I don't really know. But I do know that they

caused some hate crimes. I do know that Michael Savage said that we

should put all the muslim students in jails until they are cleared.

Another post said that one radio host said we should fight like the

terrorists do.

> >>It started around 680 AD .. and picked up steam following WWI

Thanks for the info.

About Bush and his religious belief, and PBS video.

PBS is not the only source that made me worry. Actually, it has been

my concern for several years. I attended several churches in the

past, lived with Christian families, and have very good Christian

friends. I very much respect their belief and I love them so much.

Once one of them told me that she was looking forward to the final

war, because it's " God's war " . Another sent me an email in the year

1998 or 1999 said " it's the last year, and the last chance " . Another

recommended me to read " Left Behind " . I also studied about

Christian fundamentalism and evangelism. Those are written by

evangelists and sociologist, and not meant to criticize them. In an

interview, some fundamentalist Christians said that they want the

world to become worse place, worse than ever, so that Christ will

come back sooner.

I hope Bush's policy isn't affected by this. If it's BS, then it's

great. It's one thing a Christian believes that the world should

become worse place before Jesus comes back. But a leader of a free

nation like the U.S. shouldn't base his policies on the end time

prophecy, I think.

Hope you had a great weekend!

Akiko
