I stopped reading pages ago - I'm relying on DK to sort this one out, I just popped in and saw the latest exchanges and it sounded like a pretty decent marital argument... but I may be wrong.
THE GOLDEN AGE OF SCIENCES IN ISLAM The Golden Age of Sciences in Islam was doubtless the Age around the year 1000 CE, the Age of Ibn-i-Sina (Avecenna) , the last of the mediaevalists, and of his contemporaries, the first of the moderns, Ibn-al-Haitham and AI Biruni. Ibn-alHaitham (Alhazen, 965-103...
1- You said that Moslems also base their faith on the Sunnah. I assume the Sunnah is the Prophet’s deeds, not his sayings. But how did you learn about the Sunnah? Wasn’t the Sunnah also related in the Hadith books, which means it is part of the Hadith. Meaning it is also subject to the same errors ...
The Hadith, as it is right now, is bad for Islam. A lot of people use the Hadith to serve their own agenda, from those who suppress women, to those who kill in the name of Allah, to those who make Islam too restrictive, …etc. I agree that there is much wrong with the practice of some Muslims today....
It's actually a well thought out argument that says that Muslims do indeed what to impose Islamic rule over all non-Muslims. Yesterday some crazy guy who likes to watch 'loons' decided to post an article where he thoughfully laid out the arguments in favour of this 'true' view of Islamic theology. H...
An article from Mauritius on a little known war, but I give a link to the long expose written by Arundhati Roy in March this year - makes very interesting reading. The rebels made the headlines this week when they blew up a bus and killed over 30 people, including women and children, as well as secu...
As noted in previous threads about FBI and Europol statistics listing Terror attacks in the US and Europe, the perception that some people have about who the main terror threats are does not match what the law enforcement agencies record. Some have argued that the statistics are flawed because (perh...
Can we just clear up one thing first. The article in Salon.com and the authorities call this failed attack a terrorist attack. Bora is stating that this is not a terrorist attempt, because it was a racially motivated attack by white supremacists against fellow non-white Americans (correct me if I'm ...
Mahmoud, you make your points very well. You will note that we've seen a number of stereotypical 'orientalist' rants lately on the subject of Egypt and Arabs. We've had the usual 'they like strong men'; 'they don't really want democracy' - and most interestingly look at the posts before Mubarak step...
Over in the States, a lady blogger who has been branded 'the looniest blogger ever' by Loonwatch.com - has now been branded as the leader of a hate group. The SPLC's classification means that this group is now in the same league as neo-Nazis and the KKK. I personally think they aren't as dangerous a...
^This is another rogue fantasy from the most extreme religious fanatic posting on these forums: http://www.dubaiforums.com/philosophy-dubai/most-extreme-religous-fanatic-here-t41961.html But good to see the Islamophobes supporting each other - even when they post some pretty extreme views. Cheers, S...
More loon fantasies from hervey baby, and fantasies and denials from eh, the most extremist religious poster here. So, according to herve, the numbers of Christians who have converted from Islam is 16,000 a day - that's 5.8 million a year. You've got to hand it to herve, when it comes to making up s...
What is it with you and fantasies herve? I note that this latest one is just in your imagination and not in any actual post of mine. As for eh's smoke and mirrors - Brievik and McVeigh were successful terrorists. The death count from Jihadists in the EU last year was zero.. but as I said, let's not ...
hervey baby, you're the one that made the Nazi statements about Muslims being sub-human, and even went so far to state that your Nazi views are based on evidence. Heck, you even tried to get me to share your nazi views!! Sorry, but you're on your own on that one - Islam does not teach the hatred of ...
I'm not sure there's enough money in the world for me to counsel this pin up of the loon fraternity. And I think it would constitute 'cruel and unusual punishment' for an arch-loon to have to face a Muslim in this way.
LOL - nice try. But FAIL. Big fat fail. You guys misquoted Karmi and tried to make out he was anti-semitic, and that I was anti-semitic. My views on Jews are clear: http://www.dubaiforums.com/philosophy-dubai/questions-for-shaf-for-the-record-t46569.html Your attempt crashed and burned, and there's ...
Your persistence is admirable. But quoting FD and trying to blame me for your failure is a bit rich. FD's words speak for themselves - and I note you haven't shown how his statements differ from Nazi views of jews. Nazis also produced pamphlets detailing how Gypsies and Jews were social outcasts and...
What is it with name calling when evidence is presented? It seems you do have a problem distinguishing with God talking about punishment in the afterlife and herves Nazi views about Muslims. Why try to defend herve in this way? He's happy to state his nazi views about Muslims and states he thinks it...
LOL. Please enlighten me as to the point you want to make FD. Herve was arguing that Islam is on the decline and failed spectacularly. You've posted some generalised views about "muslims" and now are on your favourite topic of Dutch Moroccans (and I don't need to remind you of your invente...
I'm asking the question because I want to know the answer. It is not obvious what your point is -but I'm definitely not confused over whether you are my mommy or not! ;) I note that you're not embarrassed by your posts - but I'm asking what that has to do with Herve's failed point that Islam is on t...
shafique wrote:What part of the Quranic, Hadith or scientific evidence presented to you before about Islam's stance on marriage and s.ex confused you eh?
Shouting won't help you. Neither will your reliance on a misinterpretation of a verse about divorce.
Ad hominem attacks by eh etc are nothing new. Back in 2009 I had to post this: Of late, I've noticed a trend in eh-oh to go for ad hominem attacks (attack me rather than message) - so this quote from NN Taleb resonated with me: An ad hominem attack against an intellectual, not against an idea, is hi...
I asked for a clarification. Did you not read my post? But please clarify on the conspiracy theory about the 'left-church' - are you saying that you consider yourself left-wing, but that the 'extreme-left-wing' is what you call the 'left church', and that this 'left church' has misled the world into...
