Shedding light on Islam (A Moderate's Perspective)

The Memphis Commercial Appeal ^ | November 14, 2004 | Bima Said

[IStillBelieve]

Same old same old. "Moderate" Muslims should distinguish themselves by criticizing their own faith.

Sick Ba$tards.

[IStillBelieve]

Does anyone else find irony in the amount of effort a faith that views pork as unclean spends putting lipstick on a pig?

[Haro_546]

my words exactly.

islam is a CULT not a religion. When are people going to figure that out....When they have the cutting edge of a sword against the backs of their necks?

[weenie]

Islam is like the old Roach Motel...you can go in, but you can't come out.

I think a lot of people have got their number

...Islam is on the run.

[processing please hold]

Once they turn to islam (not capitalized on purpose) it's like 'Invasion of the Bodysnatchers'. They turn on anyone who is not like them...not muslim.

We will have to watch our backs a lot more closley when Americans accept the ways of islam.

[Haro_546]

Well, Islam has grown from mohammed and his followers to about 1 billion followers with one-third of worlds surface. Seems we are on the wrong side of history.

[SIRTRIS]

Good = Love and Truth & Bad = Hatred and Lies Respectfully ALL over rated. end of subject & thanks for the mental stimulation

[DustyMoment]

Still, Americans hold numerous misconceptions about Islam.

No we don't. Islam is the religion of murderers that teaches hate, intolerance, oppression, slavery and murder.

It is the religion of Satan that traps its practioners in a 13th century world where practices and beliefs have failed to keep pace with the times. It is totally lacking in any appreciation of life, honor, integrity, or any teachings that might correspond to those of a deity.

So, what did I get wrong?

And what did 3,000 people do on 9/11 to deserve the hatred and enmity of Islam?

If there is any misunderstanding, Bima, it is on the part of the Muslims, NOT the Americans. That's why we are killing every one of your terrorist army forces that you throw at us - to destroy the hatred you are taught for the rest of the world.

I'll stay on the wrong side then.

[weenie]

it's like 'Invasion of the Bodysnatchers'

Funny you should say that...that's the same image I have frequently had of Muslims.

Islam has all the characteristics of a standard cult.

you can't criticized it (or even think about it critically)

Once you join it, you must submit or die.

If you leave, you will be killed.

Muhammad (peace be upon him)

I stopped reading here...too reminiscent of "Heil Hitler".

Doesn't the Bible warn of the Anti-Christ rising from the "EAST"?

[weenie]

Well, at least now we know where you stand.

Just consider that perhaps you stand with Satan.

[Haro_546]

....sorry. The only ones that put a fight against the muslims were Chrisian Europe, Hindu India and the communist. Is we abandon our founding faith we will suffer the same destiny as europe.

There was only one way to deal with them.......

What is it the koran says, something in the vain of, live with the infidels in peace till we are many...something like that?

P.S. If America turns Islamic, throw away those pesky things called the Bill of Rights, The Constitution, Things like that. islam does not recognize things like that.

[weenie]

There was only one way to deal with them.......

I wish they could be deprogrammed...but that doesn't seem to be working (at least to my knowledge).

I am afraid you are right...looks like all we can do is invite them to a party with their 72 virgins.

...and while on the subject...how infantile a picture of heaven is that...72 virgins...sounds like something invented teenage boys.
