I took your advice and consulted Muslims to see what Islam teaches regarding offensive holy war and found out that Islam does allow for holy war against non-believers. Did you really - or are you on one of your fantasies again? I simply asked you to read, understand and contrast the explanations of...

Who are the real fanatics ? Well, as far as this forum is concerned, the answer is clear: http://www.dubaiforums.com/philosophy-dubai/most-extreme-religous-fanatic-here-t41961.html#p337348 Interestingly, you are the only one who has called the book burning a 'non-story' - some non-story it's turnin...

^FD - I'm glad your now speaking out against those objecting to Park 51 - because they are 'offended' by a 'mosque' being built.

That was what you meant, right?

(And yes, Pastor is a media hog, but one that eh can't quite bring himself to condemn - fascinating that).

Cheers,
Shafique

Eid Mubarak one and all!

What part of 'selective quotes' confused you eh? As for name dropping, may I refer you to the fact that I saw your selective quotes and raised you the Prophet's , pbuh, instructions and actions. I still see no argument why we should believe Spencer's interpretations over that of the Prophet, pbuh. (...

shafique

I agree with FD - you can't legislate for stupidity! All countries have the equivalent of this loony Pastor - there are the flat earth brigade (who have a chapter in Egypt), Nasa/JFK/9-11 conspiracy nuts, Egyptian fatwa issuing nutters, those who think Bob Spencer and Pam Geller speak sense etc etc)...

STOP THE PRESSES: The US pastor who threatened to burn copies of the Koran on the anniversary of 9/11 says his plans are on hold. ... On Thursday, Mr Jones told reporters he had spent days waiting for a sign from God to cancel the protest, and that the sign had come in the form of a deal with a loca...

What's the matter eh, you're not a happy chappy these days? BTW - do you agree with Spencer and Geller that Obama might be a Muslim? http://www.jihadwatch.org/2010/04/spencer-interview-is-obama-a-muslim.html http://www.jihadwatch.org/2010/04/spencer-interview-is-obama-a-muslim.html Or are you just a...

shafique

No, we should ignore Spencer's take on Jihad which he gathered from selected verses of Quran and Hadith, and discredited orientalist interpretations. But don't take my word for it (you never do anyway) - just compare Spencer's pronouncements on Jihad with those of actual Muslim scholars who have rea...

A Talking Donkey I never cease to be amazed at the credulity of the religious. A while back, I commented on a talking donkey in the Bible. It's in Numbers 22:28-30. Back when I did this, I had several people claim that I had no idea what I was talking about, because I was taking it as literal truth...

shafique

This goes to prove my point: All countries have the equivalent of this loony Pastor - there are the flat earth brigade (who have a chapter in Egypt), Nasa/JFK/9-11 conspiracy nuts, Egyptian fatwa issuing nutters, those who think Bob Spencer and Pam Geller speak sense etc etc). Threaten to/actually b...

shafique

Well, historically, Christian authorities did actually go round burning the gospel books of other Christian denominations as well as the other Christians themselves.. so it is not surprising that a minority of the faith think that burning the Quran is even remotely excusable. It is a shame that thes...

Ahh, so yet another loon proves to be 'all mouth, no trousers' after all! :P What seems now to be a media circus, complete with clowns.. seems to by dying down (at least for now). Pastor Terry Jones shares a name with one of the Monty Python troupe, and the scene outside his Gainesville church is un...

shafique

I agree, he was typical of other loons - he hadn't read the Quran and yet felt he could preach about Islam! :shock: Now, who does that remind me of? BTW - how is the research going into talking donkeys - I'm sure that's probably another belief you and Pastor Jones share?: http://www.dubaiforums.com/...

shafique

^ I hear you rudeboy! But I think loons are scared of the truth about Shariah more! :) Repeating a lie over and over again doesn’t make it true; but it certainly results in people believing the lie. That’s what the Islam-haters are counting on. That, and the ignorance about Islamic tenets. Cheers, S...

shafique

Bump for eh - this is a question about history and whether you agree with a blogger/author you quoted. So, do you agree with his statements on evolution and his confirmation that the Arabs did indeed transmit and develop Greek teachings (which certain loons try to deny)? I trust that these are quest...

Book Burning: A True Christian® Tradition http://www.landoverbaptist.org/0306valuetad.jpg The burning of books is nothing new to True Christians®. We invented the practice over two-thousand years ago as a way to promote our faith in the Lord Jesus. In the early days of Christianity, when new believ...

eh - check your history books, they burnt books after the Council of Nicea of 325 AD: "Only two Egyptian bishops, Theonas and Secundus, persistently refused to sign, and were banished with Arius to Illyria. The books of Arius were burned and his followers branded as enemies of Christianity.&quo...

I understand that James' views are his own (as are mine and as are yours) - duh. The question was, do you agree with James on these points as well (given that you quoted him on some other point). So, you also reject the Bible literalists (like I do) when it comes to creationism. Excellent. I'm not a...

Six dead after US breakfast killing spree in Kentucky A US man has killed himself after shooting dead five people, including his wife and stepdaughter, in an argument about his breakfast.

I found this little known video. US and AQ discuss 9/11. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_OIXfkXEj0&feature=fvw A classic from OnionTV! Thanks. 'Talking to you is like talking to a goat' - I know how he feels! :mrgreen: I'm quite tolerant of people who want to believe that Islam is not a religi...

An excellent summary of your loony views, eh: 'wrong'

I trust you're not going to try and re-write Christian history of the canonisation of the Bible and the burning of 'heretical' gospels?

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

..well, if the cap fits..

There's also the angle about gun control - the body count would surely be much lower if there was a sensible gun law in the State (and I say this as a former gun owner, when I was in the UK!)

Dillon (Edit: sorry, I meant Tom), you do realise that most NRA members give that argument with their tongues firmly in their cheeks! The US constitution says militias should have the right to 'bear arms', and I have sympathy for the argument that it wasn't meant to allow every hick to own shotguns....

shafique

RC - yes, I do believe that any religion is by definition a 'way of life'. What I was saying I was tolerant about were those who say that Islam is NOT a religion. The loon argument is that Islam is unlike other religions and is closer to Nazism or Fascism than, say, Buddhism. If people want to belie...

shafique

^Yep, that's right - and real pheasants, ducks and the occasional wood pigeon too (but less frequently). I've also done some shooting in the US too (buying a game licence and shotgun cartridges at the hunting section of a Walmart was a surreal experience for someone from the UK!)

Cheers,

Hey, Europe has a long history of distrusting 'others' - from Catholics to Hugenots, Jews to Blacks and local prejudices from the Irish, Roma etc - but that doesn't mean that the propaganda against the Jews, Catholics and now Muslims were based on realities rather than misleading propaganda. Do you ...

shafique

^I've no problem with people having the belief that this is what Islam teaches (it is no different from people believing the world is flat), but I do have a laugh when they insist that is what I believe! :wink: But, hey - that's just me, being tolerant about other people's 'beliefs'. :mrgreen: Cheer...
