Here in FR, we acknowledge the source of the information posted,

Thanks for taking care of that for me.

and those who knowingly take credit for the work of others are shunned.

Good thing I didn't do that then. But what happens when people post things that are utterly, completely, bass-ackward? Next up on FR- "Not all Dogs are Cats, but all Marsupials are Reptiles."

What you did, can be interpreted as plagiarism.

Only by idiots.

And I don't really care what they think.

Well, the mature ones acknowledge their mistake and go on.

Which is what I did, and you haven't.

Luis,

Here is the response I received from Mr. Abraham:

"Tom:


Whabbism has effected all branches of Islam but seems to find the most adherants in the Shite since the Ayatollah Khomeni.
It also has a younger following in the Sunni.



I hope the articles have a good reach on your web site.



All the best
Larry Abraham, Editor

"...they don't have ANYONE espousing OT\Torah requirements to enforce death penalty religeous mores or to lay waste and beget misery upon non Judaic peoples."

So, the best thing about the Jews that you can say is that they are willingly not following God's commands?

Come on Luis, That's mighty disingenuous of you and off topic too. For whatever it's worth, Jews aren't massacring people at the behest of God now days and you can do better than a cheap topic change like that...

"Face it, The Koran and the Hadiths and apologia of Islam ACTIVELY promote the violent conversion of non-believers"

Not at all. The version of Islam being actively promoted by so-called "fundamentalist" Muslims does, but not mainstream Islam, otherwise, we'd be fighting a whole lot more people than we are now.

"...there are AT LEAST 10-15% of it's ~1.2 billion followers willing to accept as "in stone" those passages."

Well, that leaves 85-90% who DO NOT!

I'm only talking about those who are pursuing the harassment of infidels with that. There is a HELL of a lot higher percentage mutilating women among other lesser things...

"Islam as it stands is a blood and death cult."

According to your own words, 85-90% of Islam does not practice the religion as a blood and death cult. Make up your mind, is it Islam, or is it the 10-15% radicals who are the enemy?

Islam is in the end, because you never know if those currently "peacefull muslims" won't jump off the fence once they roll up a few more victories like Spain or another 9-11...

"For ~1300 years this has not changed."

Where were the Fundamentalist Islamic terrorists in the 1930's? The 1950's?

How about fighting with the Nazi's or running rampant in India? Dude, crack a freakin' history book...

Study the Koran? by Daniel Pipes New York Sun January 20, 2004

Daniel Pipes is full of crap. I reiterate, as long as their religeous texts plainly espouse the forced conversion, murder, rape, enslavement, and taxation of non-believers we are, as far as I'm concerned, at war with ISLAM. hints at what might come next.

BTW, while we're on the subject, why don't you try to explain why something like 85+% of all current conflicts on the globe are muslims VS other people and instigated by the muslims???

I'll leave you with a few passages...

3.[4.101] And when you journey in the earth, there is no blame on you if you shorten the prayer, if you fear that those who disbelieve will cause you distress, surely the unbelievers are your open enemy.

[4.144] O you who believe! do not take the unbelievers for friends rather than the believers; do you desire that you should give to Allah a manifest proof against yourselves?

3.[60.13] O you who believe! do not make friends with a people with whom Allah is wroth; indeed they despair of the hereafter as the unbelievers despair of those in tombs.

1.[9.5] So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

2.[4.89] They desire that you should disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so that you might be (all) alike; therefore take not from among them friends until they fly (their homes) in Allah's way; but if they turn back, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them, and take not from among them a friend or a helper.

1.[8.12] When your Lord revealed to the angels: I am with you, therefore make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.

Get the picture?

You are an aparatchik to them who would engulf this world in a global clash of religions.

You spout the very same parsed bits of the Qur'an that terrorists spout to justify their hatred, only you spout them out to justify yours.

Like the 85% of Muslims who do not follow the radicals, the 90% of Christians who don't adhere to your hatred will prevail, leaving all Jihadists, you included, in the dust bin of history.

You will never understand the point I made by quoting Deuteronomy, never in a lifetime will you understand it.

Should we debate why 100% of World Wars involved Germany?

Ah, the feeble minded return with the Ad Hominem in the absence of any meaningfull response...

Good work (NOT) loser. Come back when your ready to address the actual points of my post...

I'll believe the sincerity of the "85% peacefull muslims" when they've gotten that council together and removed the calls for blood from their holy book and I see them marching in the streets against Osama, Al Jazeera, Yasser Arafat, et. al.

Currently the ones I'm actually willing to accept at face value are, ironically, the Iranian masses. Their religious leaders prepare to sacrifice them soon though on the alter of allah, by aquiring the bomb to attack Israel.

modify the religion, by force if necessary, and save the people.

LOL!!!

That's your best?

You are an aparatchik, embrace the role that you so joyfully carry out.

You're no different than "they" are.

"...modify the religion, by force if necessary, and save the people."

Yeah...kill them if you have to, as long as you save them.

fair enough. I was a jerk to be so rude. Actually, given that most folks don't even know the difference between shia, sunni, and sundaes...it wasn't that big a goof.

Sometimes my irritation at non-freerepublic stuff spills over into this forum, and I try to beat up on people to make up for my frustrations in the real world. I'm sorry. I was rude, for no reason. Twice actually.

I apologize, and will try not to do it again. I'll go kick my dog instead. *grin*

Man, you SUCK at debate. What the hell does either world war or Germany (aside from moslems throwing their lot in with the forces of darkness in WWII) have to do with the fact that Islam repeatedly attacks people of other beliefs and is responsible for nearly ALL major conflicts today?

TBC...

Is English this guy's native language?

Muhammad ibn Abd al Wahhab, the founder of this particular strain of islam, was not a shia. His followers hate shiites. They think shiites are...$hit.

that is not to suggest the two groups would never work together- S. Hussein gave sanctuary to the A. Khomenie in the 70s, before going to war against iran during the most of the 80s. similarly, molotov/ribbentrop signed an accord before barbarosa.

But if we're going to post stuff about these issues...it might be helpful to get our facts straight- google a bit first.

The article's title refers to what the muslim world refers to the "Great Caliphate" - the power and territory and controlled peoples under Islam which reached its peak in the 15th Century.

That's the world the jihadists and knuckleheads with bombs are intent on regaining.

My guess is that the author figured that everybody already knew that...

"Is English this guy's native language?"

What's so hard to understand? I appreciate the author for taking some time to respond and to clarify (which I feel he did) his position.

On another note, your sig shows your MOS as 11c (4.2) and that you were with the 82nd? Am I right? If so, Welcome Home.

I helped hump an 81 a long time ago.

I suck at debate?

You fail at critical thinking.

At any given point in the history of mankind, one nation or another, or even one religion or another, have been at the central point of all wars.

Germany has been the center for the two major conflicts of the 20th Century for example, but we've never truly believed that the German people at large were inherently evil, we've always been able to focus on the fact that an idea was at fault.

In today's world, that idea is extremist fundamentalist Islam.

Extremist fundamentalist Islam is not so much a religion waging war, but more of a movement using religion and ignorance as tools to advance a cause. That cause is geopolitical in nature; an attempt at stopping the secularization of the Islamic world.

Why did the Jews stop following the clearly-stated commands of Deuteronomy and other parts of the Torah/Old Testament?

Their diaspora took them to places where stoning an unmarried woman because no proof of her virginity could be found was considered barbaric.

Islam fears the sort of secularization experienced by the Jews, because it takes power away from the clergy.

2 Chronicles 15:12-13 And they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul; That whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.

Psalms 144:1-2 Praise be to the LORD my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle. He is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield, in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me.
