Radical Islamism: 'bastard child' of Marxism

"You really are walking on a slippery slope. There are many verses in the Bible that promote the rape, murder, and genocide of Gentiles. Jesus himself referred to Gentiles as dogs. The Talmud also has some pretty horrible things to say about all non-Jewish tribes.They are far worse than anything you will find in the Quran."

You are full of it. You will only find these fake Talmudic qoutes on anti-semitic and Muslim web sites. Jews never called for murder of all non-Jews, Jesus never called all non-Jews dogs.

"No, I said that in addition to the numerous instances where the Hebrew god of the bible admonishes his chosen people to rape, pillage, rob, and ethnically cleanse every other tribe around them, the rabbi Jesus also refers to Gentiles as dogs."

Please show me where Jesus says that all gentiles (non-Jews) are dogs.

I agree with your assessment of Saddam, in the main.

Your analysis seems to point towards a conclusion that radical moslem culture is distinct from Marxist ideology.

This pertains more to several other threads here that have been arguing whether radical moslem culture was "Marxist", or not.

It will be interesting to see whether a trend towards de-secularizaton (de-Marxism) develops in Islmic nations with "secular" regimes -- in the wake of current events.

My view is that radical moslem culture is not a perversion of Islam, nor is it heretical. There is a historical component to Islam -- its imperialistic, jihad aspects -- that will have to be discounted to insignificance by the "moderate" leadership of Islam if Islam is to become truly "peaceful". A difficult task.

Thank you for your insights.

Kindest Regards

"Islam is a peaceful and tolerant religion..."

Except whenever its principles are put into practice.

"..Here's what another good Christian, Martin Luther, thought about "loving his enemies". I thought of replacing Jews with Muslims, but decided to post it as is: "

how did you get ML name on that piece?

I searched the text and came up with this

WHY SHOULD CHRISTIANS BE CONCERNED ABOUT ISRAEL? by: Jeffrey J. Harrison

[SJackson]

Presuming you're referring to post 13, that's from The Jews and Their Lies penned by Martin Luther in 1543. A quick search on any of the phrases, as set fire to their synagogues or schools and to bury and cover with dirt whatever will not burn will return multiple sources.

I don't like the title of this thread and I am not going to read it.
