Islam-list
If people want on or off this list, please let me know.
The contradictions of faith and reason that long-existed in Christianity?
Excuse me? Who gave the world its first universities? Might it be church leaders in Paris, Le Monde?
Thomas Aquinas? French! Christian!
Peter Abelard? French! Christian!
The great Summa of the world? Christian monks!
I'm not exactly sure what causes the self-loathing in liberalism and with Europe and the French in particular, but it has created complete historical amnesia.
Harp all you want about Galileo. But look at the traditions of logic and reason, and see in which of the many world cultures it most flourished.
And then realize that that's your own freakin' culture and take some pride in it, d@!%# it!
I can well understand why the Muslims are sensitive about any reference at all to the Byzantine Empire. They would just as soon everybody forget about all that "sensitive stuff" from so long ago. Good thing for them that the Muslims murdered all those Christians and defiled all those churches about 60 years later when they took over that Emperor's kingdom, that way we don't have to be subjected to such sensitive matters today. Quick and clean, they killed the Christians and moved on, just the way the Muslims like to do it today.
It is fragile in the sense that it demands total and unconditional fealty or it falls apart. To question it is forbidden and in that sense, pathological.
They can't stand the truth.
The first step towards that goal is to realize Islam is NOT a religion. It's a totalitarian system of governance, much the same as Hitler's Nazism, and communism. It's just loosely disguised as a religion. Allah is not God. Allah if anything is Satan, the exact opposite, the Koran his bible, Mohammad his demented prophet, and Muslims, having had their brains eviscerated at birth, his "chosen people". It's a dark blood cult, which needs to continuously dance in the blood of who ever opposes them.
Yes, indeed. It may be fragile spiritually, but it is quite robust physically. Over 12 million muzzies live in Western Europe now, up from 10,000 50 years ago. They're in Paraguay and multiplying in South America, thank you. In U.S. prisons, patiently working on their rage, waiting to be paroled. U.S. mmigration quotas haven't been affected by 9/11, why that would be RACIST!
O.K. I've been waiting 5 days for an Islamic rebuttal. I for one can't think of anything new that wasn't either evil or inhuman. I haven't seen any Liberal apologist come forth with anything that helped society either. It must be true then!
For a whole new take on this, check catholicfundamentalism.com there's a column section with a brand new theory: polygamy, over time, causes lower IQs. Absolutely fascinating and explains a LOT.
It's fragile in the sense of being thin-skinned and also aware of the fact that it cannot stand up to reason or to honest examination. However, it makes up for that by turning its adherents into violent, merciless sociopaths; and unfortunately, that's what we have to contend with now.
Pathological:
1. Of or relating to pathology.
2. Relating to or caused by disease.
3. Of, relating to, or manifesting behavior that is habitual, maladaptive, and compulsive: a pathological liar.
HERE HERE!!
yeah, but except for THOSE things, what's so bad about it?
i mean, it's not like they go around flying planes into buildings, stoning women to death for phony reasons, or beheading people they don't like.
It is weak in the sense that the only way it can survive and propagate is by fear. If it were truly strong, it would give people the freedom to come or go as they please. It would not react so defensively at every slight. It knows it is weak and fears its weakness. Freedom kills Islam.
