    Federal court rules World War I memorial cross must be torn down

    -Back in 1925, the American Legion erected a memorial in Bladensburg, Md., to honor the memory of 49 men who perished during World War I.

    The 40-foot tall memorial became known as the "Peace Cross."

    In 2014, the American Humanist Association -- a group that believes in "being good without a god" -- filed a lawsuit alleging the cross-shaped memorial is unconstitutional and demanding it be demolished, altered, or removed.

    They alleged the cross carries "an inherently religious message and creates the unmistakable appearance of honoring only Christian servicemen."

    On Wednesday, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals agreed and ruled the historic memorial must be torn down -- all because the Bladensburg Memorial is in the shape of a cross...

    I think that every supreme court justice should have to watch this video series as a requirement of their job:

    They're thinking like ISIS does in relation to religious monuments, just from the vantage point of un-religion.

    Obama seems to have forgotten those things during all those times he tried to tell how muslims supposedly helped build America:

    It's perfectly possible that muslim extremists were attacking Americans overseas while moderate muslim immigrants were participating in developing America. Muslims aren't a unit, just like you and pedophile Catholic priests aren't the same. The question is to which degree these things were significant. The video says that 1/6 of the federal budget was spent on fighting muslim extremists overseas, that ought to dwarf anything that moderate muslims ever contributed positively. Islam is a dangerous religion but not all its adherants are.

    Political Islam is the danger. And if you study it out, any so called "moderate muslims" are actually backsliders according to their book. Islam is not and has never been a doctrine of peace, unless you want to count Muhammad's first attempt at establishing it. After making only a few disciples, and then being ran out of town, he re-invented it and it became the violent monstrosity that we know today.

    Muslims have been up to very many different things however. At one point there was a lot of slave trading going on with muslims capturing Europeans around the Northern Mediterranean. At the same time things were okay for a lot of historical Christians within the Ottoman empire (not for converts) and the ethnic cleansing only started with World War 1 and its aftermath. One might argue that every Muslim who does what is right is going against Islam but it basically boils down to what each Muslim chooses to emphasize. I totally agree that Islam in and of itself doesn't do anyone much good except to honor the notion of a creator god, as such it works as a buffer against atheism.

    At one point they were allowed to live safely within the muslim territories. However, they were considered Dhimmis and were treated very poorly. I am trying to find if there was some kind of mark that they were required to have that marked them as a protected Dhimmi so that they would not be beheaded.

    During the early stages of this demonically inspired religion, it was convert or die for all Jews and Christians and anyone else for that matter. The hindu folks were also killed by the thousands if they would not convert. It was said that there were piles of heads higher than a man on horseback.

    The roots of islam are death and destruction. The terrorism that we are experiencing around the world today are just the roots being exposed once again.

    We need to pray for the folks caught up in this great deception and try to introduce them to Jesus.
