There fixed it.
Headline almost gets it.
It would be perfect if it said, “Islam, a Disease of the Modern World.”
Or, better, “A Disease of the Past, Modern and Future World’....Now that would be right on the money.
This isn’t exactly true.
Arabic isn’t literally translated, so to speak. There are a number of ways to say a word or a phrase. The context is also altered by the reference it is made in.
I’ve read 4 different translations of the Koran. They aren’t all violent.
More Takhia for the Dhimis. Commonly refered to as B*llsh*t anywhere else.
And a good job you did!
But I think this disease of the mohammedan world should be called by its correct name mohammedanism!
Is that because the translators really believed it or were they trying to make Islam nonthreatening?
But for the most part, intellectuals make little impact on the real world.
Like geography, no one remembers anything unless it becomes part of your life.
“But islamism is not Islam...”
By the life of me, I do not see any difference between the two concepts. All I have to do is to read up on the history of Islam, and all I read is islamism.
Oh No No No! As all right thinking true blue yankee doddle dandy American KNOW the only thing the Koran says is KILL KILL KILL.
It’s quite obvious to me that you are a 5th columnist sent here to undermine America in this war. Just like George Bush (or should I say Jorge Bush). You’re probably a Multi- culturist, one worlder who want to drain off our vital essences’s. You just wait when Tom Tancredo takes over, we’ll fix your wagon

The mohammadan world has not evolved over 1300 some odd years let alone the last 30 years. It is still the same barbaric tribal cult invented by an epileptic rapist!
That is true also. But the ones, from what I understand, that make the official translations for their sect are high level Imaan.
These were official translations. So the Imaan lead their sect with these translations.
Don’t forget, that is why there is infighting amongst the Islamic Sects also.
You know I’m a trouble maker!
Even the koran itself admits this by saying that people with evil intent are not changed by reading the koran (sura III:7)
That is very different from the Bible which is God’s word and will not return to God void or without effect. (Isa. 55:11)
This becomes an interesting dilemma in Islam because Islam has no established human hierarchy. While there are different sects of Islam they all reference as their authority....the koran. But if some are evil and some are Good, then their own koran is useless to decide.
So when truth can’t be determined through reading (mental) or though spiritual intervention (Holy Spirit) the only thing left is physical. If radicals go into a village and believe in the violent way, but the majority of the village don’t, then the “truth” is determined by who is last standing.
Guess what? Evil/violence wins every time.
You may believe in a "peaceful Islam" but the evidence of Islam shows that those "peaceful Muslims" can neither prove to their own brethern that warring jihad is wrong or stop them from engaging in violent jihad.
LOL
An Islamist wants to kill you.
A Muslim merely wants you dead.
