“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.

What a grossly ignorant statement to make.
He should be removed from office.
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.

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.
That's not what he said at all. Learn how to read.

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.
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.

I could care less about making friends
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?
But seriously Miller, have you?

Have you? Give me a break. What the hell do you know about Christianity?
-Enoch Powell
Do you think miller's statements are a good example of what a Christian should be, because if so, you two have read a completely different Bible than I have.

wow. and people wonder why we aren;t winning the hearts and minds. statements like these validate the fears of muslims.
Do you know what a good christian does?
He believes that Jesus Christ was the son of God and all salvation comes through Him.
Do you believe that? If you don't, then maybe you should not start giving advice about what a good christian is.
-Enoch Powell
Hehee.
I think at worst, it is an irresponsible public statement to make to the followers, those young up and coming missionaries and the like, who may regard this opinion more reverently than ordinary. Especially at the current time, with change in the air, and the violence steady to escalating over there. In Iraq.

Yes I have, That's why I know what a great man Jesus was, he talked about peace and love, so when I see people taking the opposite stance then claim to be christians it makes me wonder what exactly they themselves really know about it....
If he was sent to make friends he sure did a piss poor job of it. Got sold out by one of his best friends and crucified. His three best mates deserted him in his hour of need.

Nope, I do not believe Jesus Christ was the son of God and I don't believe in God. I did once and I went to Catholic school where Jesus' message was pounded into our heads. Though I cast away my faith, part of that message is still very important in my life and that's "love thy neighbour" even if thy neighbour happens to be a sinner. Now if you are going to tell me this isn't true, fine then I will change my view of what I think a Christian is supposed to be.
