‘Then allow me to say false things in order to deceive him.’ The Prophet said, ‘You may say such things.’

The father of lies and the prophet of the father of lies.

"Think deeper indeed...I think what you mean is pretend to think so deeply that you submit...think deeply but don't think critically..."

They are not supposed to. From the Quran: Surah 5:101. "O ye who believe! Ask not questions about things which, if made plain to you, may cause you trouble..." And 5:102. "Some people before you did ask such questions, and on that account lost their faith."

As you probably know & understand, there is nothing either good or bad it's just the thinking that makes it so. May religions are tribal based & therefore ritual. The Islam faith leads the pack of the blind lead by the lame!

[Haro_546]

I'll pray for you. Good luck.

He died with fewer than five possessions to his name.

What happened to the rest of his wives?

First, I don't know or understand that...actions can be quite evil, even without thought.

Secondly, it is this fear of thought that results in evil actions and prevents Islam from considering itself and its own evil.

[Ruadh]

A lie is not bad in itself, but only thinking makes it so? Can you amplify?

Spend some time reading JihadWatch and you will understand what the "plan" is with these posts from moderates.

The moderates should be moderating their OWN extremists, not us. What do they do instead? Egg them on and fund their terrorism campaigns and carry out their PR campaigns for them here.

First, I don't know or understand that...actions can be quite evil, even without thought. it's the third person view of any action either good or bad i was trying to state. Evil needs to be defined. Evil/Good can be as complex as is one God & many religions. Isn't a belief system just a sell job & democracy the implementation? Secondly, it is this fear of thought that results in evil actions and prevents Islam from considering itself and its own evil. hmmmm, transparent. Islam has its own set of "check & balances" or accountablity & responsibility of evil actions, primative as it may appear. Again, who is right & wrong?

[weenie]

Evil needs to be defined.

Good = Love and Truth

Bad = Hatred and Lies

"Jesus is considered as one of the greatest of God's messengers to mankind."

This is one of Satan's polite religious lies, "borrowing" a bit of Jesus for cover while denying His Divinity, His absolute claim to be THE way THE truth and THE life.

And this Muslims DO NOT believe. They do not confess Jesus Christ as Lord, so they remain lost until they do.

Good points.

All I've got to say is log onto www.frontpagemag.com today
and click on The Death of the Dutch.
Unfortunately, this is happening everywhere. Instead of moving out, the Dutch should seal their borders to illegals or persons who threaten their security, and SO SHOULD WE.

Another thing about jesus is that muslims beleive, as in the koran, that jesus was not crucified.

Mohammad was a pedophile. Married a six year old girl...consummated the marriage when she was at the ripe old age of NINE!

[Haro_546]

Muslims to this day follow the path of mohammed. I went egypt, and found that most of the little girls --8-6 where already married.
