Your theory presumes islam to be a religion. It is a cult based on murder and intimidation with very few of your "Moslems" condemning attacks and murder on non-muslims. Maybe some of the Norwegians have figured this out in time to save their culture.
You got my vote
How ironic - a few days ago the UN declared Norway to be the most desirable place to live because of some tripe such as "cultural diversity" or some such crap (somebody help me out here). Guess the UN will be amending their rankings if this gains any traction.
Paul and Jesus preach "render unto Ceasar."
The New Testament *NEVER* calls for a theocracy. It *NEVER* calls for the Church to make itself the highest civil authority, or to involve itself in civil governance at all.
On the other hand, the Koran does.
If a Christian calls for theocracy,( based upon Biblical teaching) they are not following scripture.
If a Muslim calls for the implementation of Shariah Law, they are simply doing what Mohammed commands them to do.
It's a start.
It's a start.
What's your take on this, Ivan?
A step too far, or a means of protecting ones own social identity?
One of the European ping list, Knighthawk?
Ping
Indeed.
"Burn the libraries, for all their value is in the Koran." Caliph Omar.
it is a monster which has no end to its appetite...
Sorry, Muslims....I know there are many Muslims who are peaceful, but your silence in the face of terroism by your fanatical brothers is deafening.....
I don't know if we can trust you....
As corrupt and socialistic and God-less as a lot of Europe has become, at least in many parts, there is peace, and you can pretty much live quietly...
that will all change if Islam is allowed to grow ...
There are no mosques in Greece, right across the Bosporus from neighboring Turkey, a Moslem country- what does that tell you?
Not all Moslems espouse the ideology of the Islamists like al Qaeda.
Only it doesn't show, does it? All we've seen from the Islamic community was silent agreement/approval of the atrocities perpetrated on the behalf of their religion.
Again, if religious freedom means anything, it is that people are free to practice their religion so long as it does not harm others.
Sure, they’ve never harmed a fly, even the Buddists are more aggressive...
If individuals are engaged in fomenting or preparing violent acts of terrorism, then by all means, throw the book at them. Proscribing an entire religion is not narrowly-tailored.
They need to realize that, in the light of the recent events, they are not universally loved, and most of the normal people find mass murder of the innocents as the means of achieving any goal abhorrent.
I could not agree with you more. This is why I do not believe democracy -- at least as we know it -- can work in Iraq.
We already have.
Look up the procedings of the New York State Supreme Court for the year 1892, I beleive, and see that islam is not to be considered a "religion" to be granted Fist Ammendment protections any more than one of the chicken-butchering or virgin sacrificing "religions" of the world.
'Course, PC liberals conveniently ignore things like that.
Now that's a good idea.
Maybe Norroway is earning its position as the best place to live?
What if one of the main tenents of their religion is expressly TO cause harm to others?
