The mooseslime mind is infected with Magic Thinking. It is the same disease in progressives in America. With it any behavior, any crime against fellow humans can be rationalized as serving their lesser Moon goddess. Their minds are completely open to evil, as evidenced by the evil things they do all over the planet.

I once read a discussion between someone (can’t remember who) and a muslim. 26 pages later this poor person was still trying to explain the Golden Rule (do unto others....) to this muslim. Talk about circular arguments! Whew!

A friend was telling me about hearing an imam on the news, who said: “Jesus was not a prophet. No prophet would say anything stupid like ‘Turn the other cheek.’”

Christianity is an anathema to Islam’s henchmen.
Islam is a war plan.

“found ultimate value only in the mystical experience and insight (the state of prophecy or nubuwwa)[citation needed] he attained as a result of following Sufi practices.
Analysis: My opinion is the only valid one because I BELIEVE it to be so.
Now try to reason with that!

there are millions of adherents of Islam willing to die for their faith. In what is left of the once-Christian West, are there as many Christians willing to be martyred? It's a bad comparison. The 'slamists idea of martyrdom is by killing a bunch of innocents and perhaps dying in the process. In Christianity, martyrdom comes about from turning the other cheek while proclaiming faith in Our Lord, even to the point of death.
mohamhead tells his wolves to slaughter as many lambs as they can while Jesus tells his lambs to turn the other cheek. The footsteps we are asked to walk in are impossibly difficult to follow, and yet, as sinners seeking redemption, we must. I wouldn't be too quick to judge Christians for their failure to die.

You're right. Oh, absolutely. "Martyr" in the Muslim community means almost the polar opposite of what it means in Christendom. In the Catholic Church, one cannot be canonized as a martyr if one died in possession of arms.
However, though the fedayeen or shahid definitely are more interested in homicide than in suicide, many thousands if not ten-thousands of them are willing to off themselves if they can take enough kuffars with them.
They're wiling to die. They expect Paradise that way.

The god of Islam can will good or evil. The supremacy of Allah's will is the first principle of Islam. So at its core, Islam is irrational, as is its god.
The God of Aristotle, Jews and Christians is One/Good/True/Beautiful/Being.
