I've been reading the Koran to determine if the Muslim religion encourages terrorism or if it is only radical men who happen to be Muslims that are responsible. In reading Surat An-nisaa, 4 83-84 I found this passage.
"In times of war or public panic, thoughtless repetition of gossip is rightly restrained by all effective states. If false, such news may cause needless alarm: if true it may frighten the timid and cause some misgiving even to the bravest, because the counterpart of it-the prep arations made to meet the danger-is not known. Thoughtless news, true or false, may also encour age the enemy. The proper course is quietly to hand all news direct to those who are in a posi tion to investigate it. They can then sift it and take suitable measures to checkmate the en emy. Not to do so, but to deal with news either thoughtlessly or maliciously is to fall directly into the snares of evil." This is so timely and obvious, why aren't we aware of it?
Say, it Bro'! What is is!!
Baloney. There is no wisdom in the Koran. The whole thing is pagan propaganda "revealed" to Muhammad by himself as it conveniently suited his political, greedy, sensual desires. Allah is not God, but the pagan moon god Baal. This is not a religion, it is a pagan cult. Let the Koran and all of Islam be cast into oblivion -- annihilated, exterminated and obliterated.
Good grief. You have completely missed my point. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. The point completely missed was how by printing gossip and attacking out own we are helping our enemies.
I could not have said that better!

Now, THERE's an oxymoron!
Reads like the DNC election campaign read ahead packet for the MSM.
Muhammed took a bride who was 9 years old.
Pedophile.

If you want we can swap verses.
You must understand that all RIGHT THINKING mericans must never ever under any circumstances say or write anything remotely positive about Islam. Because as we all know all Muslims live to do only one thing, kill us.

Problem is EC there is no Allah!
I recieved this in my email (saying it pertained to President Bush), do you know if it is actually in the koran? which verse?
"For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and there was peace."
very cool if it is:)
That reminds me, I'm almost out of holy toilet koran paper. I need to go to the bookstore and buy out the koran again....
nothing like wiping your butt with a good surah.
To each his own - I'll only line the bird cage with my copy of the Satanic verses.
