@ClarkeMicah @Rickardo66 I'm sure Peter Hitchens thinks he's being clever here but this one of the more asinine comments he has made on this topic. America, for all its faults, is a vibrant democracy while Iran is a brutal repressive Islamic regime.

.@rickardo66. That is no way to speak of the United States

@sygarte @CapturingChrist The analogy I would use to show they are not the same person is the following. I am talking to someone and they ask me if I know a man named Jones. I say yes then ask if he has a son called James. He says no Jones has no son. I say then we can't be talking about the same person

@CapturingChrist Also your argument fails. There are many people named Jones. But Christians and Muslims agree there is only one God, so their disagreement on what God is, means He is different between them.

Do Christians and Muslims worship the same God? Here's the strongest argument that they do, and I almost never see anyone deal with it. Christians and Muslims DISAGREE about God. Christians say God is triune. Muslims say He's not. That looks like a straightforward contradiction. But here's the thing: disagreement is only possible if you're talking about the same subject. If I say "Jones is tall" and you say "Jones is short," we're only disagreeing if we mean the same Jones. If we're talking about two different guys who happen to share a similar name or title, there's no actual disagreement at all. Just two unrelated claims. So if Christians and Muslims DON'T worship the same God, then they don't actually disagree. They're just making separate claims about separate beings. But that's absurd, of course they disagree. And it gets worse. Ancient Israelites before Christ weren't Trinitarians. But almost no Christian wants to say the Old Testament prophets worshipped a different God. So now you need to explain: what metaphysical rupture happened between ancient Israel and 7th-century Arabia that broke the chain in one case but not the other? Good luck drawing that line without it looking completely arbitrary. The real answer is that Christians and Muslims refer to the same being, the one creator God of Abraham, and disagree about His nature.

@ClarkeMicah @chrisbreadon No.

Right, .@chrisbreadon. I’ll watch out for any signs of that happening. Would Donald Trump posting AI pictures of himself as Jesus be one of them ??

@calvinrobinson David Lowery is also listed as one of the producers.

Now do Mohammed… And yes, the producers are exactly who you would think they are.

@calvinrobinson This movie is not about Mary the mother of Jesus and, "Based on available information, David Lowery, the film director known for A Ghost Story and The Green Knight, is not Jewish. He was raised in a strict Catholic household, though he has described himself as an atheist.."

@calvinrobinson So your peace loving pope is happy to have communion with the "religion of peace" in Africa while Christians are being slaughtered by followers of this same religion throughout northern Africa.

Someone is going to need to translate this one for me. I do not speak Spirit of Vatican II. What is “Communion between Christians and Muslims”?!

@ClarkeMicah @PaulCXBI IDuring the Iran-Iraq War Iran extensively recruited and deployed child soldiers, often using them in high-risk "human wave" tactics. Many of these young volunteers wore small plastic "keys to heaven" around their necks, given to them as symbols of their certain martyrdom.

How do you know this, .@paulcxbI?

@ClarkeMicah @PaulCXBI Amnesty International has acussed Iranian authorities of committing a grave violation of international humanitarian law amounting to a war crime by recruiting and mobilizing children as young as 12 into a military campaign led by the IRGC. This shows what they are capable of.

@theweeflea While in no way excusing this post, which was totally unacceptable, I do however find it interesting that many who are incensed by this blasphemy don't seem so concerned about the profane abuse (rape, torture, murder) of young Iranians going on daily by the Iranian regime.

If Donald Trump really posted this then he is as blasphemous and narcissistic as I suspected....

@ClarkeMicah @AJEnglish This interview proves nothing. He has no authority to speak on behalf of Iran and what they really intend on doing or not doing. He represents Oman and Oman's interests which are ending the war and opening the straight of Hormuz. He will say whatever he needs to to achieve this.

@ClarkeMicah I'm becoming more and more convinced that you are suffering from Trump derangement syndrome which has the common symptom of being unable to reasonably assess anything that Trump, or those who support him, do.

From my MoS column today

@calvinrobinson The pope's not God and when he starts pontificating on political matters he's as open to criticism as anyone.

The President of the United States is now directly attacking the Pope. This is unhinged.

@ClarkeMicah @GypsyBoots8 Who were these "independent" intermediaries? Blind Freddy could see that the Iranians were acting in bad faith and always have. Your naivety in this regard surprises me

.@gypsyboots8 Yes, at the end of February Iran was negotiating in good faith, according to independent intermediaries the talks were making progress. Then, with no declaration of war, the USA and Israel assassinated the government and began armed attacks on Iran. Imagine what you’d say if it had been the other way round.

Would u look at that 😏 ‘Wanted to K*ll Israelis’: Clinton’s Remarks on Palestinians Resurface A resurfaced Bill Clinton clip is drawing fresh attention after the former president made blunt remarks about Palestinians, Hamas and the collapse of a past peace deal. Clinton says Yasser Arafat did not accept an offer that would have created a Palestinian state and claims Hamas “wanted to ki*l Israelis and make Israel uninhabitable.” The old comment is now being pulled back into a much newer political conversation about Israel, Hamas, Palestinian statehood and who bears responsibility for failed peace efforts. Wow. Never thought I'd see the day that Bill Clinton made sense to me and I agreed with him. Dems don’t want to hear the truth! #BillClinton #Israel #Palestinians #Hamas #MiddleEastPolitics #IsraelPalestine #PoliticalUpdate #WorldNews #BreakingPolitics #PeaceDeal #YasserArafat

🔴 You can’t make this up. In January, the Iranian regime killed +40,000 protesters in the streets, including children as young as 8. Just 90 days later, countries like the UK, France, and Spain supported Iran’s appointment to a leadership role on a UN human rights body.

A senior Ayatollah of the Islamic regime in Iran has issued an Islamic ruling to behead any Iranian who goes around saying they’re not a Muslim. “We will kill you, and we will kill you good.” t.co/2MVl4rfjz5 This is the same regime that was nominated yesterday to the UN Committee for Program and Coordination on women’s rights, human rights, and terrorism prevention. Please share this to call on President Trump to suspend the $18 billion in foreign aid to the UN!

@GENGIS9999 I always find it interesting that Spain and Ireland, the two countries with governments most hostile to Israel, had governments that did the least to oppose Hitler and his policies during the second world war ( excepting of course nations officially allied to Germany.)

Netanyahu accueilli avec un doigt d'honneur lors d'une diffusion en direct en Espagne La haine officielle de l’Espagne et des espagnols en plein jour . Irez vous encore en vacances dans ce pays perdu ?

@calvinrobinson Wrong again. These people are just a pathetic bunch of disgruntled losers.

This would be funny if it was not so sad. These people were the movement. Trump’s strength was coalition building. He built an A-Team & now he is turning against everyone who made it great. First he attacked Elon, then MTG, now Candace, Tucker, Megyn, Alex. Why, do you think?

@calvinrobinson Here we go again with crazy, groundless, anti semitic conspiracy theories. Trump gives his reasons for cutting off trade with Spain and doesn't once mention Israel.

What on earth do they have on him?!

@ClarkeMicah Under International Humanitarian Law, schools and hospitals can lose their special protection and become legitimate military targets if they are used by enemy combatants to commit acts considered harmful to the force fighting them.

So what?
