Freedom of Religion (Islam Counts)

Vanity | 11/17/02 | Persuasion

[Trailerpark Badass]

Hey, I agree with you completely. But I also find the demands for the elimination of all muslims abhorrent.

Have you ever heard the term "hyperbole?" "Bluster?" "Done for effect?" Or are you terminally naive?

Get over yourself and consider these "abhorrent demands" just equal time for the daily calls for "Death to America!" and "Kill the non-believers!" we must listen to.

I've got to do a vanity post about how much I abhor silly twits.

Read the Koran

[dila813]

They say blowing up babies of their enemies is justified because they don't have any large weapons like Aircraft Carriers, Tanks, and Nukes.

Can you imagine what would happen if they did have these weapons? 9/11 everyday!!!!!!!!!!!!

These people are sick and they try to justfy their evil as part of a religion.

[dila813]

One is an offense (muslims), one is a defense (christians)

[SauronOfMordor]

It is not prejustice to point out that 60%+ of muslims still believe that it was the Jews that blew up the WTC.

Just because a Muslim says he believes something, does not necessarily mean that he really believes it. The concept of "truth" is not central to Muslim dealings with infidels

[Conservative4Ever]

I am not speaking of muslims who oppress their women, amputate the limbs of thieves and drug addicts, etc. I am speaking of the many muslims alive today who do not engage in these practices who are still being treated as if they did.

By their silence they have shown that they approve of these practices. I am still waiting for the outrage from the muslims in the US who were shocked by 9/11. The silence is deafening.We are at war with Islam. Those are the cold hard facts, they want us dead along with the Israelis. What part of this don't you understand? Not only that but I refuse to wear one of those ugly burkas. What the h3ll kind of a garment is that?

The original post must come from a liberal. Disapproval is interpreted as hate - a frequent liberal tactic.

That said, Islam is a religion that persecutes all other religions. Most Islamic countries will jail any Muslim who converts to another religion. Some impose the death penalty. This "religion" is little different from communism in its application.

[Persuasion]

*Sigh* I did not say we should "let any muslim do whatever he wishes at any time." Obviously, there are some practices
that we cannot allow. The saftey of our people is important.

But just as I would not condone the slaughter of every Christian Scientist in America I do not condone the slaughter of every Muslim in America and I find both
propositions abhorrent.

[Michael2001]

Would you tell blacks, Catholics, and Jews that they can't speak badly regarding "Christian Identity"?

Islam is a religion out to kill or convert us inifidels. As an infidel myself, I have very little respect for that religion.

[Post Toasties]

Thanks for the info. Basically, I agree with your viewpoint. If I had thought you were Muslim, I might have been a bit more politic in my postings, but IAC, I believe some varieties of Islam are incompatible with modern society.

[GeekDejure]

Are you trying to say we should wipe out everyone that refuses to befriend us? Even if they quite contentedly live beside us and never do us any harm?

Look. I never said the ideology was admirable. But when a person has never harmed you and never had any intention to do so, you've no right to harm them. That is my point.

Your clever attempt to put words in my mouth and action in my arm has failed !!!

Further... how can "We are your neighbors" truly be our "friends" when their devilish Koran absolutely FORBIDS it??? (But you refuse to answer that simple question.)

Or are you trying to make me believe that feindish Islam is a voluntarily selective creed, wherein some Muzzle-em "neighbors" are allowed to be our "friends"... in total contraiction to verses such as Koran 5:51, etc.???

That's absolute, total Bovine Feces... and you know it !!!

Wherefore I say... you are either an Infidel (Step Forward... Kneel... Bow Head... CHOP!!! ... clunk - roll - roll -roll), or you are just another clever Islamic Trojan Horse hiding in America !!!

Those of us educated in the good old days know "Call me Ishmael." is the opening paragraph of Melville's Moby Dick.

But those of us with a religious education also know that Ishmael was the son of Abraham by his wife Sarai's Egyptian serving woman, Hagar, and that Hagar and Ishmael were made to leave the tents of the Hebrews when Sarai miraculously bore a son in her old age and jealously feared for his birthright.

From Ishmael sprang the Arab race and the charter members of Islam.

I take it that the line from Moby Dick is your way of embracing your roots.

And if you are indeed Muslim and American, then I am sorry for the problems you and your patriotic and nonmurderous coreligionists in the U.S. may suffer during these years ahead while we sort the wheat from the chaff.

Enduring these slings and arrows with cheer and understanding may be a great gift and sacrifice you can make for our country.

[patriciaruth]

Thanks for your comments to my post number four.

If you will reread my last line, you will see that I am implying that the wisdom that goodness would ask of us is not necessarily the same wisdom that our survival will require.

My heart breaks at the exigencies of war, but my genes tell me to praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.

Muslims are murdering Christians all around the world, and if I belonged to such a hateful murdereous group, I would be denouning it and gettting out of it, and not associated with it in any way.

[tessalu]

Muslims will even kill their own if they choose to leave Islam and become a Christian. This is how Islam exists, for all of them are under the penalty of death for blasphemy. This world has seen no greater evil.
