Like the Bible, it is all how you interprete it.


Let's me fair. The Bible has been used to justify many atrocities too.

An example.

Islamic cover themselves head to foot and even hide their faces with a Chandor.

The Koran, however, only has one reference to this: -

"Women should be modest". (Rough translation)

The rest is interpretation.

Sorry about the typo.

First line should read "Islamic women...."

...and suicide? If it's all in the name of Allah, then we can expect that anything goes.

The interpretations can only go from behead everyone that doesn't believe in your version of islam, or behead only infidels.

I don't see much wiggle room here. However, they do seem to be using 'behead' in a more general way, such as 9/11 style 'decapitation' strikes that'll eventually go nuclear.

That's interesting.
I guess you've never read the Bible, huh?

Islam, The Alleged Religion of Peace® ( TARP™ )? Click this picture:

No, I am not exaggerating. Click the pic, go to "last," and read backwards.
If you are not informed about this stuff, you will be made sick. If you are informed, you will be made mad, all over again.

Just because we don't see any more videos of be headings doesn't mean the terrorists have stopped. What difference does it make if a hostage is beheaded or executed with a bullet in the brain, he/she is still dead. The terrorist don't have a Gitmo they kill their prisoners or ransom them. How's come we haven't heard anything more about the American hostages these animals took within the last three months?

Let's face it, this mental illness masquerading as a religion has gone on too far. Now it seems that Muslim groups in the US are demanding investigations into Gitmo and allegations of abuse of the Quran. All the while muslims worldwide kill christians, shred bibles (Saudi Arabia), and refer to Jews and Christians alike as "pigs and apes". Where is the protests? Where is the outrage? What we need are large and loud protests in the street here in the United States, burning the flags of Saudi Arabia, the Palestinian Authority, Iran and other Islamofacist states and a wholesale burning and defiling of the Quran. Where is the truth in this whole sorry affair? Mohammed was a war-mongering pedophile who directed muslims to kill all non-believers, unless it was more convenient to enslave them or extort huge sums of money via a tax on the dhjimmi as we are referred to. Anyone coming across this post needs to come to the realization that the muslims are in a holy war against everyone and it is time we stood up! War was declared on non-Muslims by these bloodthirsty primitives and it is time that force majeur meets force. For now, let us begin with street demonstrations. Burn the flags of Islamofascist states, burn and defile their precious Quran (I already have, it is quite liberating using pages of it as toilet paper or burning it or dousing them in bacon grease as I have). OK, I have had my rant.

Technically the Koran only condones violence of any type when in the face of the crusaders or infidels....

From there, it is all about how you read it....

Clearly, we will not win a win against an enemy who condones
beheading its enemy while we heap emnity upon our own men
for for placing underwear atop ours.

"Let's me fair. The Bible has been used to justify many atrocities too".

It's true that some in the past have used Christianity to advance their own political or ideological position.

That doesn't mean that the Lord condones it.

In all honesty, those who perform any atrocities in the name of the God of the Bible are few and far in between today, and can be easily spotted-this is true, because they stand in direct opposition to the teachings of Christ.

One cannot tell which of the Muslims oppose the militant actions on their own side.

Jews and Christians aren't slaughtering people all over the planet, as jihadis are. I am sick of the moral relativism which equates Jews and Christians with Islamists. It's got to stop. Facts must be faced.

Beheadings allowed by Islam, but only in extreme situations...

There are no "situations" wherein Jews or Christians allow beheadings.
