In order to skirt the issue of the character of Mohammed, you've now attempted to place Joshua on the same moral plane as Mohammed.
No I havent but in order to dodge my argument, you are now starting your usual attack the individual stuff thats way too predictable already Toothy.
I am discussing warfare, and the connection was between bin Laden and someone referencing Joshua in order to justify mass murder, it seems that YOU are trying to make that moral connection, not me. Your reading and comprehension skills suck or maybe you are just spinning out of control.
Noted, and on the record.
Awww! Am I getting demerits Toothy?
Why do I care about who someone else worships?
Why should I care about what Mohammed may have done? Does Islam today promote pedophilia? No, they dont so, whats your point then? As a matter of fact, why do you even care?
The Quoran is the Quoran, it can be interpreted differently by every single person who reads it, as can The Bible.
If you dont believe that, check out the threads where Catholics and Protestants go at it, or get a true Roman Catholic to talk to you about the Rapture, or get an Advent Christian to discuss predestination, or...I could go on.
The past 1,400 years have seen a whole lot of warfare Toothy, there have been Inquisitions, witch burnings, genocide all by nations of the west, and even more by nations of the Far East, and yes, the Middle East has seen its share as well.
There is no Jihad going on Toothy, bin Laden has been trying for years to get high-ranking Muslim clerics top call for a Jihad against the West, but they will not, so he has to resort to terrorism to further his goals.
Your insistence on degrading Islam as a religion, and Mohammed can only serve to unite those hundreds of millions of fence sitters out there behind bin Ladens false Jihad, and convince them that the West does indeed hate Muslims, and wishes to destroy Islam.
You do good work Toothy, unfortunately, you do it for Usama bin Laden.
Why should I care about what Mohammed may have done? Does Islam today promote pedophilia? No, they dont so, whats your point then? As a matter of fact, why do you even care?Mohammed, and the History of Islam, moot the rest of your argument. That's why they're my focus, and that's why you're not addressing them.
It's quite unfortunate, really, because in turning away, you've wandered into one heresy, ecumenism, to defend another, Islam.
The Quoran is the Quoran, it can be interpreted differently by every single person who reads it, as can The Bible.You're right, Islamic pedophilia is a non-issue. Forget about the boy playthings availble to Islamic martyrs in their afterlife.
If you dont believe that, check out the threads where Catholics and Protestants go at it, or get a true Roman Catholic to talk to you about the Rapture, or get an Advent Christian to discuss predestination, or...I could go on.
There is no Jihad going on ToothyNo doubt.
When Catholics and Protestants go at it, we can measure their behavior against that of Jesus, and His teachings, to see who is the most true to Him.
When Islamic sects go at it, we can measure their bloody behavior to see who is most true to Mohammed.
Unless of course, we refuse to open our eyes.
Your insistence on degrading Islam as a religion, and Mohammed can only serve to unite those hundreds of millions of fence sitters out there behind bin Ladens false Jihad, and convince them that the West does indeed hate Muslims, and wishes to destroy Islam.Tell it to the flourishing Christian populations of the Middle East, which have been decimated and driven out in the last 50 years. Tell it to the martyrs in the Sudan, Pakistan, Indonesia, and elsewhere.
Tell it to the dead and terrorized Jews in Israel.
Nothing to see here, nothing at all, and certainly no jihad.
You do good work Toothy, unfortunately, you do it for Usama bin Laden.
From the Book of Matthew, chapter 7...
- 7:15
- Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
- 7:16
- Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
- 7:17
- Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
- 7:18
- A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
- 7:19
- Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
- 7:20
- Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Islam is a wicked religion, with a wicked founder and wicked results. It doesn't play into the hands of bin Laden to be honest, it's the key to defeating him and the others like him who will follow faithfully in the footsteps of the murderous Mohammed.
