Wow, those Mooslems are so bloodthirst aren't they! Let's overlook the fact that the site for the mosque was bought (not conquered) Abdur Rahman - and was originally the site of a Roman Pagan temple before a church was built on the site - we don't want facts to get in the way of a good story, do we ...

Armed and dangerous.

Robby - would you care to step in and enlighten young eh about the Renaissance?
(you may want to quote from http://www.twf.org/Library/Renaissance.html

)

Cheers,
Shafique

Hey, the Mullahs and eh turned backwards, not Islam

And, by 'value systems' don't you mean 'occupying powers'?

I'm well aware that Aristotle and other Greek thinkers were being translated at Mont-Saint Michel before Christians liberated the Iberian peninsula from Moorish occupation. *yawn* Yawn indeed. You shouldn't believe all the information in the 'I spy book of Orientalist history' eh. Next you'll be te...

I don't recall complaining - I just corrected your spin dear boy. But why ignore the passage that Saddam Hussein was allowed to pray in it and the statement of the Church that this was a one-off incident and hence atypical? (Of course, we know the answer) And yes, you were factually incorrect and se...

The mosque in the story was later purchased and restored into the cathedral it once was. The mosque was never purchased - it was conquered by the Christians. The land the mosque was built on was purchased (i.e. the Muslims bought the land, the Christians just kicked out the Muslims and took over). ...

Thanks - I thought it was good too. I always had you down for a Yank kid, but when you start quoting a Frenchman's theory - I have to revise my supposition (and your recent trend to quote Muslim think tanks is a bit off putting as well). Anyway - here's a balanced critique of the Mont St Michel / Ar...

Avoiding my question by asking a different question. Interesting tactic. Why aren't you answering eh? Do you have an answer? (I agree with the initial report you posted - they are critical of wahabism and list a number of issues). So, did you really write to the UN or was it 'All Mouth..'??? Cheers,...

shafique

Interesting tactic.

When one can't show that the Quran contradicts Science, one trawls the web for long posts that don't quite make the point you wanted to make.

Anyway, let's see whether you've got round to explaining how the sun can stand still in the sky for a day?

Do you know what the 3 myths are eh?

Aren't you curious?

shafique

Lemmings/herd-like behaviour indeed come to mind when I think of the World Wars which started in Europe.

^on this point, I agree with you Robby! [serious] Religion to manipulate the masses to suspend logic is just as bad as Fascism used to manipulate the masses to suspend logic. I mean, some people here use a book to condone the killing of civilians and enslavement of virgins! :shock: Cheers, Shafique

Yes, I’ve heard that a lot about the US. The US is the Great Satan, who’s responsible for all the evils in the world. What else is new???? Just a quick aside. The term 'Great Satan' is misunderstood in the West - because the concept of Satan in Christianity (and hence popular culture) is a being th...

Who do you think will explain the origin of the primordial dust cloud? and who do you think will explain quintessential essence of human life—the soul? Berrin, one of my favourite theories of creation is that we were all created 5 minutes ago with ready-made memories. To date, no one has been able ...

The shooting up of the van who stopped to help the wounded man was clearly a war crime - and the fact that there were children in the van is sickening.

No wonder the US didn't want to officially release the video and internal findings.

For a change the Israeli authorities have owned up to the killing of unarmed Palestinians, including a child of 15. It took some x-ray evidence to expose the initial lies, but credit where credit is due - at least they acknowledged this crime - which, as the article concludes - is unusual. Israeli m...

I like the reverse psychology, or was it a trick question? (I've been pretty clear that I agree with the Muslim report of this title and have congratulated you for eventually siding with Muslims against wahabism - well done). Or perhaps are you just avoiding the question I posed a few times now - wh...

You said Satan whispers in one’s ear to do bad things! Figurately speaking - yes. A bit like Jiminy Cricket's evil twin. Does he (or she) whisper only to Moslems, because I have never heard any voice (of a non-person) whispering in my ear to do anything??? Really? You've never been tempted to do so...

shafique

Happy to explain in any of the numerous threads on what God says about women in the Quran - all to be found in the Religion forum. However, I'm still waiting for your answer to the question: Who did you write to in the UN, and did you copy in the Muslim group Quilliam? (And your memory is playing tr...

All Mouth, No Trousers. We are now at Day 13 of the epic wait for your scientific explanation for the earth stopping rotating so that the sun can stay in the sky for a whole day. We've already uncovered your empty interpretations in the Quran and Science thread - and I'm happy to deal with each of y...

Day 13 - unlucky for 'eh'?

Perhaps he's writing a new science book that says the earth can stop rotating?

shafique

Well, if you agree with Professor Burnett's conclusions - I guess I was being a bit uncharitable to link you with other crackpots who believe that the Taj Mahal was originally a Hindu Temple because they are extreme in their Islamophobia. Prof Burnett is quite clear that Gougenheim is wrong in his c...

I deleted your repetition of your last post - as it has been answered above. Questions about what God says in the Quran can be asked again in the numerous threads on the subject in the Religion forum (this is the politics forum). The unanswered question relating to this thread is in my previous posts.

shafique

I believe that those who wrote the Bible made a wild statement that science does cannot support. I therefore do agree with Watt that God does not violate the laws of nature. Hence why I am intrigued as to what scientific explanation you can come up with for the Sun staying still in the sky. Is your ...

Allright, forget the plural state of my jibe. Lets talk A'isha, 9 years old and hardly able to think nor judge what morality and/or maturity stands for. And Mo, 53 years old, mature and divined by its creator and potentially engaged in activities that would make even the pioust of pious turn in the...

Here's the next part of the speech - interesting to note he quotes Gibb who observes that the sciences flourished only where the Muslim society had liberal values: EARLY ISLAM AND SCIENCE How seriously did the early Muslims take these injunctions of the Holy Quran and of the Holy Prophet? Barely a h...

Shafique, your preaching to the choir. The problem is that they feel offended. If they opened up a little in their cornered world of hurt, they'd understand different views that cross the internet. I don't see it as a problem to be offended when a person you hold dear is maligned unfairly. You know...
