Ooops, I had started to type "72 veegans" instead of virgins.

You got the best of both words. :o)

I may need to visit my optometrist again, because I do not see the phrase "I am a Muslim" anywhere near my user name. I do, however, see "Abd al-Rahiim", which a moniker I devised.

If you want to buy new lenses for me, though, I'll gladly take them.

If they [Arab Christians and Jews] say Jews and Christians worship Allah, yes that is incorrect in my opinion.

Hmm, interesting. You're telling me that Christians who don't speak English and thus don't use the word God believe in a different God.

By your logic, a rather large number of Christians in this world are wrong simply because they don't speak English and don't use the word God, instead using words like the French Dieu, Spanish Dios, Chinese 上帝, and Arabic and Persian Allah.

Abd al-Rahiim is an anagram of I AM A MUSLIM.

Witness:

ABD AL RAHIIM = I AM A (then all you need to do is an M - U - S) LI (and you add another M) and you only need to lose the B - D - A - R - H, and there you are.

I AM A MUSLIM.

Q.E.D.

Your question is a valid as the number of angels that can fit on the head of a pin. Meaning is much more important than verbiage. And I think you know that.

As for me, I believe Islam is from Satan himself. Saved by works and not by faith, that is Islam. The people of Yahweh hated beyond any reason. And that is NOT of Jesus, the Christ, the son of Yahweh. I could go on and on with other examples.

And can a good Moslem be a good American, I say no. Sharia law is not compatible with Western culture and ideas.

This is getting tiresome. Go read my posts on this thread. I have already answered this question in several ways.

Even though I'm not Muslim, for a user name I made up an Arabic name. Until you mentioned him, I did not know who Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri was.

Abd al-Rahiim
Since Aug 5, 2006

"I enjoy being an American national..."

English not your native tongue, eh? We call ourselves citizens.

.

So let me get this straight. It's almost 5 years since the Muslim attacks on the WTC and Pentagon.

You 'made up' an Arabic name, are not an Arab, are not a Muslim, and had no idea that Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri whose name has appeared in the MSM in the last few years as a major Al-Queada player and mastermind behind the USS Cole bombing.

Damn, just your luck, eh?

Maybe you should have considered another language before posting on this site. I'd prefer you ask me...

Your preference = 0 weight any where Western civilization still reigns.

and oh yeah,

Welcome to Dar-el-Harb (House of War)

I'm guessing that's your native tongue.

Haven't had a post from our little friend in about 20 minutes. Maybe he grew tiresome of his simple line of questioning.

Come out, come out wherever you are???

I think he got scared when I showed that his name was an anagram for I AM A MUSLIM.

The definition of anagram is a word or phrase formed by reordering the letters of another word or phrase.

You added M, U, and S and subtracted B, D, A, R, and H.

I find your use of QED to be both inappropriate and hilarious.

It's getting tiresome because instead of answering my questions you have often answered your own questions or switched topics (e.g. introducing Baal).

Although I will admit that you finally did answer a question I asked several times. Apparently to you, Arab Christians and Arab Jews who use the term Allah are wrong.

Why did you feel the need to attack me personally?

I say national because I am also a citizen of Australia. I wasn't born there, but I was born here. That's why I am proud to be an American national, thank you very much.

And, strictly speaking, English is actually NOT my native tongue. Chinese is. Feel better now?

Clarification for your statements:

  1. Google Arab Names. The second link is a UPenn web page. I read part of it and for fun came up with Abd al-Rahiim. So, yes, I made it up.
  2. I am not an Arab.
  3. I am not Muslim.
  4. I honestly had no idea who Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri was. I had never heard of him until today.

Considering that I'm an American citizen, it is my right to vote and exercise my preference in elections. Unless you want to take that away from me.

Since I'm being attacked for my views, I'll end with this.

One of the many reasons why I love being American is that I can freely participate in discussions like these.

True. However, if you make an anagram of those letters: M, U, S, B, D, A, and R, you get:

ARMS BUD

Indicating that, not only are you a Muslim, but someone who illicitly deals in small arms.

Oh yes, we've got you now, Abd al-Rahiim.

*IF* that is your *REAL* name.

That's not what I said. Allah is the correct word when talking about who Muslims worship.

Yet you keep asking me the same question over and over in different ways.

Are you a White House press corps reporter?
