"Why would you refer to yourself as a heathen?"

No reflection on anything you said - I was just heading off those who would jump in calling me an Islamoappologizer or some such thing.

"If there isn't any one true translation that everyone agrees with, it does make it difficult to find the Truth. That is what I am after here."

You found it - the "Truth" of what is says is whatever the reader wants it to be.

I don't know anything about the "truth" of the site I linked - it just popped up using google, but the Islamo-phobics here seem to prefer the same translations that the Fanatic Imans do.

"If you have evidence that Islam is not wanting to dominate the world or that their intent is not to wipe out all infidels, then I would welcome that evidence."

If Islam is defined by fanatics like UBL, then they DO want to kill or convert everyone - kind of like the Crusades. I guess you could say at that time the Christians wanted to kill or convert everyone also. Maybe it's some sort of "phase" that religions have to grow out of - they are still stuck in the 1400's.

What we need to do is kill the ones that interpret it into killing us, and ignore the ones that interpret it as ignoring us.

Anyone who truely believe that Islam wants to kill everyone else and won't stop until we are all dead, would be in favor of simply marching them all into the gas chambers, unless someone has a better idea.

Leviticus 26:8 Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the sword before you.

By some interpretations this could be us in Iraq, so I guess we have Gods OK to kill them all...

RS,

I still am not sure if you consider yourself a heathen or not, but I found it entertaining that a heathen would quote the Bible. LOL

I disagree that God has given His OK to kill them all.

Personally, I think He would like to see them all converted to Christianity....kind of what Ann Coulter said.
But hey, that's just my opinion. I don't claim to know what God's intentions are. I don't believe the Old Testament has anything to do with what is going on now. All those prophecy's have been fulfilled and Christians are no longer under the "Old" law. But that also is a different subject, isn't it?

The Crusades did not represent Christianity, and they certainly didn't represent the teachings of Christ.

I "want" it to be a Peace Loving religion. That doesn't make it so.

As Gondring has so often pointed out, you can't arrest or kill someone because of what they "think" I would rephrase that to brainwashing as I believe it is a cult and not a religion.

I don't believe anyone wants to march them into gas chambers. In the past, people that came to America assimilated into this culture, not the other way around. I don't understand why they want to be here if we are such pagans.

Leviticus 26:8 Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the sword before you.

See? See?! This means those Jews and Christians are trying to kill everyone! They're only following their "holy" book when they do... /mocking_bigoted_Islamophobes
