      If someone threatens his family with starving they are terrorists, if someone threatens other families with starving, they are patriots. See the difference

        So what? Jewish people believe in the same god.

        He and his party play the religion card and get votes from religious assholes claiming that they have better morals than other people because of their book and faith.

          Jews, Christians, and Muslims do not worship the same god. God in the three religions have different personalities, requirements for salvation, and wants, etc. They only share momotheism and early prophets, not even the same set of prophets. Jews achieve salvation by following the laws of Yahweh laid out in the Torah, Christians are saved through their belief in Christ and the sacrifice of God with repentance, and Muslims achieve salvation through the laws of Allah laid out in the Quran. Jews don’t consider Christians and Muslims to be true followers. Most Christians don’t consider Jews to be saved because if their soecific rejection of Christ, and Muslims have this half state for “people of the book” which also includes Zoroastrians.

            In this context, who gives a shit? They all believe in a slightly different version of the same invisible all-powerful creator, preach one thing and do the exact opposite…

            Next time I’ll post “The party of religious fucking nutjobs everybody” and save you the trouble.

    Pretty fucking rich coming from a guy who looks like he’s never missed a meal in his life.

    And no the point isn’t that he’s fat, it’s that he’s a hypocrite. Definitely the type that would pull up the ladder behind him.
