Neal Boortz regarding "Muslim Outrage"

You are spot-on. Take the shia practice of ashura, for example. A festival of self mutilation. The shia high holy day. I can tell you it is ghastly.

The images on that Boortz video were incredible. However, my sound card died and I wondered if you knew if a written transcript was available...

"The images on that Boortz video were incredible. However, my sound card died and I wondered if you knew if a written transcript was available..."

Let me try his site...

I'll be dogged if I see anything about a transcript- he was ragging caller "Will," who gave him a hard time about critiquing The Alleged Religion of Peace.

May not be the same thing, but about two days ago, I caught a few minutes of him, ranting along the lines of, "don't direct your anger on me for criticizing your religion, direct it at those in your religion who blow up babies-- and so forth."

I am not fond of Boortz for various personal reasons ( not limited to the nasty email he sent me years ago, to wit, "Don't you EVER send me links from Free Republic again!" ) but he informs his listeners of things they will never, ever hear from the Drive-By Media.

Isn't that the holy day where they all slice their heads open with huge knives? I was probably very naive up until 9/11. The more the muslim religion is exposed the more backwards it is to me and they prove it more and more EVERY DAY!!!

The political system of Islam, just like fascism and communism, is a dysfunctional ideology that needs to be abandoned.

Amen to that.

Truly Islam is built on a Foundation of Sand, rather than on the Rock.

Or it might have been a "Beirut beer float."

LOL!

You are a good Muslim because you perform this or that ritual at the prescribed times the ritual is to be preformed and you don't eat pork or other prohibited foods. Also, charity toward other Muslims scores you points with the Moon-god. How you treat non-Muslims is irrelevant.
The Bible states that outward works must come from an inward change of the heart, else they are mere hypocrisy. Furthermore, both the Old and New Testaments enjoin believers to treat non-believers with the same kind of justice dispensed to believers (Amalekites, Canaanites, etc, are exceptions beause of their condition of reprobation).

Islam is a slaveholder. It feels that it owns you; it condemns you as apostate to be beheaded if you dare to leave its chains.

In other words, living one's life in a state of terror.

No thanks.

Nicely written piece!

Your charter, the Quran, in some parts, preaches discrimination, death and imposition of its dogma on everyone. The political system of Islam, just like fascism and communism, is a dysfunctional ideology that needs to be abandoned

If people want on or off this list, please let me know.

Progress thrives in a marketplace of free ideas, where beliefs and viewpoints, not people, clash. It is through the unimpeded clash of ideas that the best decisions and actions are reached. Political Islam is anathema to this invaluable principle.

Insightful, insightful, insightful. Islam stops the process that would allow it's people to prosper spiritually and culturally.

[tet68]

...Islam— keep it to yourself and refrain from forcing it on others or we'll have to kill you.
We will not go gently into that Islamic night.

Well put!

Islam is a spiritual prison...you cannot question it and you cannot leave it. And if you don't convert to it, you die.

The question is...what kind of spiritual entity would devise such a "religion."

[muir_redwoods]

"It's also curious how the devout practice of every other religion in the world demands that you violate at least one of the ten"

I don't find it curious at all since the adherence to the religion of another G-d would, by definition, require the breaking of the first commandment. It's a tautology.

There was an interesting article the other day on FR that noted that approximately 20% of the Koran was written in a language that existed before the birth of Mohammed, and is no longer in existence. In essence, then, the article went on to assert that the (approximate) 20% of the Koran written in that ancient language cannot be translated (a claim that I find somewhat dubious) but, let's suppose that the assertion is true. Wouldn't it be interesting if the remaining 20% of the Koran were deciphered and revealed that all of the tenets of Islam that preach violence, murder and intolerance were NOT the true intentions of Mohammed? Just some food for thought.

I'm not an expert. But I understand that the early writings of Mohammed were fairly inclusive and devoid of the kill and subjugate the Jews and other infidels stuff. You will note that the 'everone has his own religion' quote in the article is attributed to 'the very beginning.'

Then, the Jews didn't welcome Mohammed as a conquerer and his later writings contained the kill and subjugate everone stuff. So Mohammed himself refutes his own writings. No need for translation magic.

It took even the United States many years to drive its priests out of politics. Priests of all kinds yearn for power over others.

LOL. Unlike politicians, who self-select for power over others.

You asked, "The question is...what kind of spiritual entity would devise such a "religion."

Easy to find out in the Bible. The demon which wants to compel God, the one who is the father of lies, a murderer from the start. See, it is that demon's desire to force the knee to bow to it, rather than choose to bow to God's sovereignty. The same was the point of the temptation comments to Eve, that 'I can be as God' mentality. Muslims are enthralled in a demonic whirlpool called Islam. Their whole religious focus is to force God to reward them for their obedience to rules and regs, but the sad thing is, a demon is the author of the rules and regs and all promises from a demon amount to lies. With people under such delusion reasoning is impossible.

With China improving their universities, and the declining birthrate of natives in USA (not including Hispanics), universities would be more dependent on Islamics to keep our enrollment rates in our Universities high.

Islam is a slaveholder. It feels that it owns you; it condemns you as apostate to be beheaded if you dare to leave its chains. The non-Muslims, by contrast, respect you as a free human and support your inalienable right to believe whatever you want to believe—even if it is a non-belief. If you still wish to wrap yourself in your suffocating security blanket—Islam—please keep it to yourself and refrain from forcing it on others.

SUPER BUMP!

Nice for us, now get them to read it...without chopping your head off!!
