Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

RE: RE: Jihad begot the Crusades

Steve Brenneis responds to Behethland:

You said, "It's important to keep in mind that there are fundamentalists in both Islam and Christianity."

Non-sequitur. Jesus never raised an army, tortured, maimed, and enslaved infidels, or kept a harem. Jesus never condoned theft, conversion (w/r property), or the "infidel tax." Jesus never preached that infidels must be killed or that jihad represented a sure path to the Kingdom of Heaven. Muhammad cannot claim these things.

There is absolutely nothing in the New Testament that indicates violence or tyranny against our fellow man is even remotely acceptable. Such is not the case with the Quran. Muslim apology, especially in the context of anti-Christian rhetoric, is completely unacceptable.

Islam is false doctrine and probably the most dangerous system of belief on our planet since National Socialism.
