Kindly reread #10 again and lose the archaic definitions. Since this isn't Syria, we don't speak Aramaic, and the only group around here (or India, for that matter) who uses the word "Allah" are Muslims, I stand by what I said.

I don't know if He is capable of human emotions

We're made in His image. He had "human" emotions far before we were around.

I equate their 'allah' with our version of 'satan'. So that's why I said that.

1) The headline of the post doesn't match the actual headline of the article.

2) You know very little about India. It's filled with non-Muslim terrorists. The particular group responsible for this one is an ethnically-based socialist group, ULFA in Northeast India, a tribal area.

Speak any language you want. Islam ought to toss the heretics--terrorists--out on their ears, but of course their lame system doesn't allow that.

Pakistan claims to be giving support to "freedom fighters". Saying one supports Islamic freedom fighters is an oxymoron:
Missile tests raise tensions between India and Pakistan
Phil Reeves in Delhi
27 March 2003
There was trouble yesterday on several fronts. Indian police flooded the streets of Ahmedabad in Gujarat – the state in which 2,000 were killed last year in Hindu-Muslim violence – after unidentified gunmen shot dead Haren Pandya. He was a senior leader of the anti-Muslim paramilitary Hindu nationalist group, the National Volunteer Force (RSS), and a former state minister... Yesterday, the Indian government accused Pakistan of involvement in the killing of 25 Hindus by anti-India militants in Kashmir. Eleven women and two children were among those who died when a group of armed men burst into the village of Nadi Marg, dragged people out of their homes and opened fire from close range. Survivors said the attackers wore Indian police uniforms... The Nadi Marg killings have added to Delhi's long-standing conviction that Washington is guilty of double standards in its "war on terror" by launching attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq, but embracing Pakistan. India has been especially irked by US suggestions that it should resume talks with Pakistan – who it says harbours armed militant groups... After recent signs of easing hostilities, India and Pakistan are once again eyeball-to-eyeball. There have been tit-for-tat diplomatic expulsions and regular threats. A further signal was sent yesterday when both sides test-fired short-range missiles. India fired a Prithvi missile, with a range of 95 miles, from its testing centre in Orissa. Pakistan fired one of its Abdali missiles, with a range of about 132 miles.
Atrocity heightens tension in Kashmir
Phil Reeves in Delhi
30 March 2003
[T]he United States and Britain have begun a fresh diplomatic drive in the region to avert a third crisis at a time when they they are running into trouble in Iraq and face a show-down with North Korea. But yesterday these moves were overshadowed by more deaths and a shocking individual atrocity in which police in Indian-administrated Jammu and Kashmir said Islamist militants cut off the noses of five villagers suspected of collaborating with the Indian army. Officials in Kashmir said suspected Islamist militants killed a 50-year-old villager and his son in a pre-dawn attack on a village... The fresh wave of bloodshed came as India was seething with fury over last weekend's slaughter by Islamist militants of 24 Kashmiri Hindus at the village of Nadi Marg, more than half of them women and children... Washington's call for India to enter talks at the same time as American armed forces are descending on Baghdad in the name of a "war on terror" is seen by Delhi as a breathtaking example of double standards... India's Foreign Minister, Yashwant Sinha, said the US call for Delhi to enter talks with Pakistan, was as "gratuitous and misplaced" as India urging Washington to open talks with Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein. The Iraq war has also made life more difficult for Pakistan's President, General Pervez Musharraf, in his efforts to balance his post-11 September "war-on-terror" alliance with Washington with strongly anti-US public opinion.
India official cleared
of inciting violence
against Muslims

9/19/2003
India's deputy prime minister was cleared by a court Friday of inciting crowds that demolished a historic mosque, but a Cabinet minister and six other officials were ordered to stand trial for the destruction that sparked years of deadly violence... Deputy Prime Minister Lal Krishna Advani, the No. 2 leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party and a possible future prime minister, was present in the northern city of Ayodhya on Dec. 6, 1992, when tens of thousands of Hindu activists razed the 16th-century Babri Mosque with spades, crowbars and their bare hands... Last year, riots killed nearly 1,000 people, mostly Muslims, in western Gujarat state after Muslims incinerated a train car carrying 60 Hindu pilgrims and activists from Ayodhya... The dismissal of charges against Advani was seen as a victory for the BJP, the party of Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. The party came to power in 1998 largely because of the publicity it gained over the mosque destruction and the temple campaign... "I do not take it as an accusation," said defendant Acharya Giriraj Kishore, leader of the World Hindu Council. "I have simply washed the 450-year-old stain on the Ram temple." ..."The party is of the opinion there is no reason for anyone to resign. The case involves political persecution, not moral turpitude," said Venkaiah Naidu, the president of the BJP.
A recent archaeological operation discovered the remains of the Ram temple, which not surprisingly once stood exactly where the Hindu say it stood. What sparked the centuries of deadly violence was the Moslem invasion of India, the Maldives, and points east. Most or all of these links are expired, by the way:
Indian Experts Say Temple Existed at Disputed Site
Mon Aug 25, 8:03 AM ET
Indian archaeologists said Monday they had found evidence of a temple under the ruins of a 16th century mosque... Hindu activists have long been demanding construction of a temple at the site, saying it is the birthplace of god-king Ram and that a temple existed there before it was destroyed by Muslim Mughal invaders in the 16th century. Muslims dispute this and want the mosque rebuilt... The Allahabad High Court, which has been trying to resolve the dispute over Ayodhya had ordered the excavation and on Monday it made public the experts' report... India's Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party, which leads the national coalition government, reached national prominence by campaigning for a temple to be built in Ayodhya.
Deadly Explosions Rock Bombay
by Jayashree Lengade
and Maria Abraham
At least 40 people were killed and more than a hundred wounded Monday when two bombs exploded in the heart of India's financial capital Bombay, police said... One exploded near the historic Gateway of India, a crowded monument in the tourist heart of the city, while the other exploded in a congested bullion market near a Hindu temple... It was the worst attack in Bombay since 1993 when a series of bomb blasts killed at least 260 people... India has also in the past blamed Pakistan-based militants fighting Indian rule in Kashmir, its only Muslim-majority state, for bombs and other attacks. The Bombay blasts followed a thaw in relations between nuclear-armed rivals Pakistan and India, which came close to war last year following a December 2001 attack on India's parliament that New Delhi blamed on Pakistan-based militants. Pakistan, which had denied involvement in the parliament attack, condemned the Bombay blasts as "acts of terrorism." ...Three died in December when a bomb exploded on a bus; 12 were killed in March by a bomb on a rush-hour train and in July, two people were killed in a fresh bomb attack on a bus.
Remarkable. The non-Moslem populations of every predominantly Moslem country on Earth (with the possible exception of Turkey; even Turkey did so during the early years of the Turkish republic and before) have been systematically persecuted and periodically slaughtered or expelled, but nowhere do we find Time's so-called journalists:
India's Great Divide
by Alex Perry Bombay
August 4, 2003
This distrust of Islam has only increased since independence in 1947: modern India was founded in the Muslim-Hindu bloodletting of partition of the subcontinent, in which a million people died, and since then tensions have boiled over into three wars against Islamic neighbor Pakistan. Today, much of the religious tension in the region stems from India's rule over Muslim-dominated Kashmir in the face of strident Pakistani opposition. The war on terror and the 1998 election of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on a Hindu-nationalist agenda, which focused debate on physically undoing the Mughal invasion by razing mosques built over Hindu temples, have lent a veil of legitimacy to India's lurking anti-Muslim prejudice.
Kashmir Siege Ends After Army Blasts Building
Reuters
Nov 20 2003 10:27AM
Indian troops ended one of the longest sieges in Kashmir's main city by blowing up a building on Thursday where gunmen had been holed up... The standoff began after gunmen attacked a federal police security post near the Indian army's 15th Corps headquarters in Srinagar... A little-known rebel group, al-Mansurain, claimed responsibility for the attack on the security post... [Mass-murdering Moslem terrorists supported and fomented by Pakistan] fighting Indian rule in the disputed territory have repeatedly targeted the heavily guarded army headquarters and, in a major attack in 1999, killed the army spokesman in his office.

That's because the heretics are the ones that founded and are running Islam.

I know. That's fine. I think Moloch would be a closer match in the case of the terrorists.

It's kinda how I see Mormonism. It speaks of Jesus, quotes him, but it's an entirely different character than in the NT.

allah is mohammed's attempt to recreate the OT's Jehova. And turns him into a blood thirty monster. So..

They have the lazy man's version of Christianity, like those wind-up nuveaux buddhists in China that have the gov't about ready to herniate. Tick-tock do this, tick-tock do that.

Now that we got that misunderstanding out of the way, let's re-examine the original post, with the understanding that "He" refers to the Triune God (side note; I strongly dislike the modern practice of not capitalizing the pronouns when refering to God) -
No, I don't believe so. I don't know if He is capable of human emotions--I suppose He is if he wants to be--but He is not pleased.
I do agree with this. He does experience emotions, but I would not qualify them as "human" as that would imply imperfection.

Okay, then he is perfectly not pleased. I wouldn't put a constraint on Him by saying that He couldn't experience imperfect human emotions. BTW, allah need not be capitalized, that's just an English version of a foreign word.
