on Islam in the Northwest

The show on Monday will go like this:  The Muslim guests will talk about their faith and how "average american", normal and moderate they are.  Christians will call in and voice their support.  The blame for any "threat" or fear will be pushed onto a small group of "extremists", radicals, the "lost souls".  The show will end on a happy note with everyone hugging and feeling good inside.

My point is that believers of all faiths need to accept responsibility the the actions of their religions and need to stop pushing blame onto others.  It's the liberal minded followers of religion that need to wake up to the horrors perpetrated by their religion.  You are living in denial. 

Catholics are just as bad.  You are blind to the hate in the Catholic church.  You want to think that you are good Christians, making constructive contributions to finding solutions to the problem.  Well that's not how I see it.  All I see is happy smiling people stabbing each other in the back when no one is looking.

I think I've said enough.  I'm not trying to offend anyone here.  I just see all religions as evil and I don't see things getting better.  And that scares me, because as religious believers continue to destroy each other, it's innocent bystanders like me that are going to be caught in the cross fire.

"...a few lost sould"

I doubt those few lost souls would consider themselves "lost".  The fanatics that your refer to are some of the most religious of their faith.  They are even prepared to die for their religion - their God.

I know plenty of "nice" Christians.  Family people.  Loving and generous.  But they are Christians.  They go to Christian church, listen to right wing christian hate radio and read the bible.  Their Christian kids are in the US armed forces and are fighting the wars against Islam in Afghanistan and Iraq.  The religious beliefs of these people scare me.

There's a religious war going on here.  There's nothing nice about it.  This war is taking place in the middle east, in America and right here in Portland.  Religions have created this mess.  How can you follow a faith that will eventually lead to the destruction of mankind?

If you're not scared, then you're not paying attention.

Anyone that prays to an imaginery "god" is dangerous as far as I'm concerned.  Be they Muslim, Christian, Jew, Hindu or whatever!

Humanity has to evolve beyond these destructive religions before they blow up the planet.

God is great......BOOM!

There's nothing more boring than spectator sports. 

A sports fan talking about their favorite team is like an evangelist trying to sell you their religion.  I'm just not interested.  I'll just walk away.

Tomorrow, I'll just turn off my radio.

Patriotism means as much to me as does religion - absolutely nothing. I just can't get excited about it. The only good thing you can say about patriotism is that you get a one day holiday from work every year. Any excuse for a day off work is OK by me.
