“Reasonable Muslims now agree that when a religion veers so far off course”

Islamic apologists refuse to admit that it has not veered off course. It is on the same course it’s been on for 1400 years.

I wonder why we keep referring to Islam as a “religion”. It is a nothing more than a political movement towards complete domination. Communism by comparison is a walk in the park.

You know if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it must be one. I also recall the axiom that says “What you say and do speaks so loudly, I cannot hear what you are saying”.

Two numbers you need to know about Islam:

8843 - the number (to date) of documented Islamic Terror attacks worldwide since 9/11

107 - the number of signatures on CAIR’s “Not in the name of Islam” online petition that has been available for people to sign for over three years (May 2004).

"heinous attempts" to link terror with Islam.

Crazy. Next thing you know they'll try to link thunder with lightning or smoke with fire.

Exactly. And their ads etc. are nothing but smokescreens to buy them more time to increase their numbers, solidify their position and/or re-arm.

And our governments help them by allowing them in our countries legally etc.

What Martin Luther did, is print the bible. He never changed it. What that did is put the teachings of the gospel directly in the hands of the people, instead of it being subject to the interpretations of a priest.

Do you really want a "Martin Luther" for the Koran and Hadiths? Unlike the bible, there ISN"T ANYTHING GOOD to be gained by 3rd world Muslims who can't read to be taught to read it and understand ALL of it's teachings. That will just create more Jihadists.

Muslims in North Africa for example practice a watered down blend of Islam and tribal customs, some honestly think there is no call to kill in the Koran. Their Imams are iliterate, and merely pass down oraly what they were taught orally.

These type of muslims however, are not "good muslims" in the eyes of the Arabs who are currently charging through places like the Sudan and slaughtering these apostates. What is being put in place is "literate" muslims, who understand and follow the Koran. We call them "fundamentalists", Jihadists, Terrorists, because that is exactly what the koran and haith teaches.

You can't compare the gospel to the Koran, nor Martin Luther simply printing the Gospel for all to read, because Luther didn't "change the bible". He changed nothing at all, except for putting the gospel in the peoples hands.(although there were some non- cannonized books added)

Still, that didn't stop different denominations from reading their own agenda into it, as practically every denomination today has.

Good enough place to bump this thread for later reading on the so-called ROP.

LOL!
Those two statements speak more eloquently than a million posts in this silly debate!

More like a warrior death cult.

Oh, dear. I don’t think you actually read what I posted. I don’t remember writing that Martin Luther changed the Bible. What he did was change the Church by challenging some of its more questionable, corrupt practices, such as the practice of selling indulgences. You can hardly argue that he didn’t change Christianity. I don’t think reality is so elastic as to deny the results of the Reformation and the Counter-Reformation. Kindly remove the bee from your bonnet and read what I wrote.

Marx at least refrained from telling people how to wipe their asses.

Islam: What the West Needs to Know

The complete 10 segment video. View one of these video segments a day for 10 days.

You will then be prepared to refute the silly liberal notion that Islam is a "Religion of Peace."
