We "evangelize" and they "radicalize"......or is it vice versa?!

1. the USA uses drones, Isis uses guns. so far by body count the USA is winning nt

[cali]

12. Absurd. No one is winning. And both are culpable. Beyond that, the comparison is dumb

[guillaumeb]

2. Good people evangelize.

Evil people radicalize.

Now do you understand?

[zwyziec]

4. An incomplete thought.....

Do you mean "good" people evangelize while "evil" people redicalize?

Good and evil are relative terms.

[guillaumeb]

5. WE all know who the good people are. They look like us.

Does that clarify?

[zwyziec]

7. I don't know who you look like.....

but I know what I think!

[guillaumeb]

10. Now we are making progress toward complete understanding.

But seriously, whoever controls the terms of the debate has an advantage. The GOP controls the media and thus controls the debate. The GOP also knows how to frame the debate. Thus US wars are always entered into as a last resort, and only for the best motives. US intervention likewise.

3. Given that "Christian" is built into the definition at present...

...(at least according to the Oxford dictionary) I'd wager you know which it is. Nor are the two the same thing, which you likewise know assuming you're a competent human being.

[zwyziec]

6. Both radicalize and evangelize mean....

to change, or to transition, from one attitude, idea, culture or religion to another, which no doubt you know, that is assuming you are a thinking, rational human being.

[Shandris]

8. No. Either you're incapable of reading, or you're outright dishonest.

However, I know this shill game and I'm not playing. Anyone can look up the definitions. Goodbye.

9. 'Christians' will talk you to death. Radical Islamic death cults will shoot your children.

11. Well

I never heard of a door-to-door Evangelical blowing someone's house up so I guess that answers your question.

13. Both Christianity and Islam seek converts, they proselytize.

Among both faiths there are extremists who radicalize other believers or new converts. Is that difficult to understand?

[Yo_Mama]

14. It depends on the ideology being spread.

From our perspectives, or from a Buddhist perspective, the beliefs being spread by this brand of Islam are in themselves radical, so conversion to them is ipso facto a radicalization.

Playing with words doesn't change the fact that teenagers are being recruited to die themselves in attacks on innocents in order to go to heaven (according to these people).

Buddhists teach and preach; we don't refer to it as a process of radicalization because of the content of their teachings.

All these people are being converted to a belief that mass murder is good. I call that radicalization.

15. Two different terms which mean two completely different things.

Nobody worries about Christians cutting their heads off with a dull knife or blowing up their elementary school.
