R- Robin Hayes feels crusades would help iRAQ

“Stability in Iraq ultimately depends on spreading the message of Jesus Christ, the message of peace on earth, good will towards men. Everything depends on everyone learning about the birth of the Savior.”


this comment was made by congressman robin hayes to a rotary club. What a beautiful idea...... convert everyone in iraq to christianity, i bet this will go over well. when a united states congressman makes public statements like this, what are the iraqis supposed to think? i think we all remember george bush using the word "crusade" to describe his wars earlier, and now a fellow republican insinuating that everything will be better once all those savages are converted to christians.

It's dispicable.

Can't tell whether or not you are being sarcastic. I think not, but your third statement is what makes me pause.

I agree 100% that "it's dispicable" and "what a grossly ignorant statement to make."

As far as "he should be removed from office." I don't agree. I would love to see him lose his reelection bid, but he won't. Not because of this anyway.

removed from office, i suppose not, publicly ridiculed, definately. nice work congressman. take an alread impossible, nightmarish situation, and make it far worse. as if it wasnt bad enough in iraq, this turd feels the need to help al qeada by verifying that this is a religious war. how do people like this get elected? he does have a good point though, we all know that once a nation becomes christian based, they base all policies around "peace on earth and good will toward men"......ASTONISHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
how would you feel if you were a soldier in iraq having to fight these people into christianity?

So you think that he should be publicly ridiculed but not lose his job? that sounds kinda off.

If what he said was really that bad, then he should lose his job. think about it.

Ridicule him but let him keep the job is not gonna make him a better politician.he's just gonna get even more ignorant and ignorance does not belong in politics, but of course it does seem to run rampant in it.

I forgot to mention.

The crusades did'nt really work out very well the first time around (historically speaking) what makes this guy think that it'll work out now?

But as far as the quote on the thread opener Goes “Stability in Iraq ultimately depends on spreading the message of Jesus Christ, the message of peace on earth, good will towards men. Everything depends on everyone learning about the birth of the Savior.”

I don't see that as being a bad thing, I think the message of jesus is a very good one and we all should learn more about it, he did teach peace and good will towards others. I just think that this congressman should be also asking his own government to follow these same teachings.

I guess the part where he goes on about "birth of the savior" is a bit weird.
But I'd like to see his whole speech.

He said they need to learn about Christ, he didn't say we should convert them to Christianity by force.

Muslims already know about Christ. They just don't agree with Christians about his divinity.

The people of his district should be ashamed of themselves for voting for such an ignorant twat.

He said "spreading" the message of jesus. Which imo is the greatest message one can receive.

no where did he mention the word crusade or conversion.

There are few things non-Christians enjoy less than being the recipients of this message. The people of Iraq already have very strong religious beliefs, they are not interested in hearing about yours. This is no way to make friends.

Haha, I will keep your use of "twat" next time I'm thinking of an appropriate description for Hillary Clinton. Or I might just use "cunt." Thanks for the openness in dialogue.

Happy to oblige. I've called her a few choice names myself ... whatever works for you is fine by me.

Oh, how Jesus must love you.

Isn't Iraq supposed to become our ally, the bright shining beacon of freedom? I thought that was the plan.

So why concern your self with Christianity and it's "message"?

Aren't christians supposed be nice, friendly people?

Or maybe you prefer the Old Testement?

MrBrian

Miller, have you really even read the bible?
