$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Dreamtwister', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('oil4u', 'T')he Koran backs up any claim I made. I'd suggest you read it, without a jaundiced eye. Example: Mohammed was married to a child = Paedophile.


Just because your (and my own, I might add) culture frowns on this type of behaviour does not give you the right to determine it's morality for a completely different culture. This time, it is *us* who are in the minority. The bulk of the world's population still to this day recognizes this type of behaviour as acceptable to varying degrees.


oh my fucking god. you just defended child rape.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('oil4u', 'Y')ou have a typical Dhimmi attitude. Always making excuses apologizing for them. It must be our fault. Something we did. Remember they are MUSLIM FIRST...Canadian second.

Biased? Watching 2 Jets, slam into the twin towers (piloted by Islamic whackos) made the threat we all face, very clear


But of course you never heard of the millions of innocent Muslim civilians that were slaughtered by the US and Israel right before 9/11 happened, right? All those dark-skinned non-Christians can die like rats, because you will only pay attention when they kill people from your own race and religion.

Maybe that's why the terrorists atacked 9/11. They figured it was the only way to call Americans' attention to the crimes their government was commiting in the ME. After all, most Americans have no idea of what their government is really doing in the ME.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'S')orry I don't find peadophillia ok, whether the bulk of the world thinks so or not. It's disgusting and I can't believe you are condoning it or at the very least making excuses for it's practice.


No one is asking you to excuse it. I don't excuse it either, but I understand that I can't impose my morals and ethnocentric views on others.

Pedophilia is considered a crime in the West because most Westerners consider it morally wrong. If in other cultures it is considered OK, then they're free to define their own laws based on their own culture.

That said, I don't know any Muslim Lebanese that condones pedophilia. Those tribal behaviors are limited to some Muslim countries where tribal cultures are still dominant (eg, Afghanistan). Most Muslim countries do not condone it. Thus, it is wrong for you to generalize the behavior to all Muslims.

Not that I expected anything different from someone as prejudiced as you.

Yet, they feel they know enough to crticize Muslim culture, when their own cultures are packed full of negative behaviors.


Unlike Islam, which of course has no negative behaviours. It's ok to murder Christians, Jews, etc. Honor killing is ok. Paedophillia is ok. Manufacturing and exporting heroin is ok. Nope, nothing negative there. Let me sum up the effect of Islam on society: blasphemy laws, anti-semitism, honor killings, tyranny, hijackings, beheadings, political violence, intolerance of other traditions, and submission to a deity interpreted by an ego-sensitive mass murderer


Sorry to be so blunt, but this is just stupid. Do I need to bring you some stats on the incidence of rape, sexual abuse, sexual harassment, incest, child abuse, drug dealing, gangs, cults, serial killers, armed robbery, mass murder of innocent civilians, war crimes including the use of nuclear weapons against civilians, child pornography, ....

Funny enough, YOU talk about intolerance of others traditions.
Prejudiced people are very funny in their double standards.
Should I remind you that around 40 years ago Black people in the US were considered an inferior species and women were pressured to be house wives and not allowed to work? Do you think the West has a long tradition of respect for human rights? Or respect for women's rights? Or respect of all races and cultures?

If it took your recently "civilized" culture centuries to figure that out, what makes you think that the Muslim nations won't experience the same changes if we give them time? Especially considering that they are already changing in that direction and that Islam is a much younger religion than Christianity?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'D')id you know that there are 123 verses in the Quran concerning fighting and killing for the cause of Allah? Here are but a few passages:


Do you know that there are as many verses in the Torah and the Old Testament that do exactly the same? Do you know that many of the verses that you're referring to in the Koran are based on verses in the Bible?

Here is what Jihad in the Bible looks like:

In my opinion, to get to the bottom of any religion, to see if it is divine or not, is to go directly to the one person who claimed to be divine, or receiving a divine message. If one is truly interested in the truth, they need to go read everything about Muhammad from every source they can find, and decide for themselves.

Deciding based on the actions of one member of that religion is wrong, just like judging Jesus based on some quack who blows up innocent people at abortion clinics is not a good way to judge Jesus.

Muhammad did not officially, in writing, appoint an interpreter or successor, so immediately upon his death there were problems with leadership and interpretation. The Sunni / Sh'ia split happened very early. This 12th Imam that the Iranian president is talking about: there were 12 Imam's (Sh'ia) starting with Ali, son in law of Muhammad, and the first 11 of them were killed by Sunnis right from the start, most by poisoning. The 12th was hidden away as a child so they couldn't kill him too.

It is also important to know that the Qur'an wasn't even compiled before he passed away, so who knows what has been changed, altered, mistransliterated, or forgotten by those who put it together. I certainly don't know nor claim to know.

There's always an excuse for Islamo terrorism. "It's the crusades." "The west is stealing our oil." "They draw cartoons of Mo" "The jews drink our blood" The list goes on and on, ad nauseum. A very whiney religion.

The more I learn about Islam and Muslims, the sorrier I am. It'll all spin out of control, because psychotic criminals seem to be in charge of deciding what constitutes Muslim identity, and are having an effect.

One further clue for you spoon-banging Islamist cry-baby types: the Crusades were a reaction to unprovoked aggression by Muslims. The accounts for all the death, misery, and tyranny which Islam has meted out over the centuries have never been settled.

Wow Miki, what you posted are some of the most awful kind of lies I have ever seen that "Bible and Jihad" stuff is just crap.

I think you are a dishonest person and you bring nothing to the this forum but venom and spite.

I pray that you get help and that God has mercy on you because the anger you have is going to kill you.

You said at one point that you are Christian you need to think about what that means.

Jesus said you shall know them by their fruits, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, long suffering, gentleness, goodness and faith.

On this forum you have shown nothing but hatefulness, anger , been quick to temper, and harsh.

I have read enough of what you have to say and I have had enough.

How is what Miki said any worse then what has been said against Islam in this very thread. To quote oil4u

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'U')nlike Islam, which of course has no negative behaviours. It's ok to murder Christians, Jews, etc. Honor killing is ok. Paedophillia is ok. Manufacturing and exporting heroin is ok. Nope, nothing negative there.

I dont know if what Miki brought up is right or wrong. Maybe its all slander or a pack of lies. And maybe oil4u is right. Being from a country that has suffered from Islamic terrorism for decades, perhaps I am not entirely unbiased in this matter. But I think that both Miki and Oil4u are both equally vicious and insidious, to the point of being slanderous. But Miki brought it up only to retaliate against oil4u who did it first.

Yet your anger is only against Miki. If someone rants against Islam its allright because it is possibly true. On the other hand if someone rants against Christianity, you are horrified that someone can think so of your religon. I see a clear double standard. Unfortunately, this is one that affects most Westerners and for that matter even Hindus from India, I admit.

Just a thought.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Miki', '.')..

the US has fought 100 wars in the last 100 years

...


I would be interested where this statistics is coming from. I could not find nearly 100 wars in the last 100 years with US involvement. Can you help me with that?

Even if you go further back in time and count the "Civil War" as a US war, they were not involved in more than 30 wars and that includes events like the disastrous Iran Hostage deployment.

Of course all of that does not change the fact that patriotism and religious fanaticism are the main cause of a lot of pain and suffering ...

Vinky,

I appreciate your post and I am glad that you made it.

First off let me say that most Muslims are good and decent people. That being said I do think that actually reading the Koran and looking into what the Hadiths say is very important. It is also important to listen to what some Imams say in their sermons during their Friday prayers.

When you take a look at the Islamic holy texts directly, listen to the sermons and read the history of the religion it becomes readily obvious why some of them are violent and engage in holy war.

I do not think that slandering and denigrating Muslims is right but there has to be a reason why some of them commit violence in the name of god. My intention was never to slander or accuse any one falsely.

I posted what I did only after days of reading very angry replies. I do not mind online discussions but online screaming matches are beyond pointless. And her style of responses are just annoying she uses the shotgun technique were she blasts away throwing out as many straw man arguments and red herrings and the like as she can. She throws a ton of junk out there and just hopes something sticks, oh and the double posts that got to me too.

Only internet trolls double post.

Wow, nothing else really needs to be said does it. Read those quotes again.

What an absolute utter, utter disgrace. Pedophile apologists get the ignore button.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Eli', 'W')ow Miki, what you posted are some of the most awful kind of lies I have ever seen that "Bible and Jihad" stuff is just crap.


I showed you quotes from the Bible to prove that it contains the same kind of violence that is advocated in the Koran. Please tell me where is the lie?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I') think you are a dishonest person and you bring nothing to the this forum but venom and spite.

I pray that you get help and that God has mercy on you because the anger you have is going to kill you.


Really? I did not do anything different than what you, nwildman, and oil4you have been doing in all your posts. You keep quoting the Koran, so I quoted the Bible. I imagined you wouldn't get offended given that you keep offending Muslims and Islam.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'Y')ou said at one point that you are Christian you need to think about what that means.


Unlike you, I don't let my religious beliefs get in the way of my objectivity. I've been exposed to enough different cultures in my life to know that the world is much more complex than what my ethnic group and my religion have taught me.

God blessed me with a brain, a conscience, education and rich experience, and He did not give me all that so that I follow the sheeples and the blind dogmatics. He gave it to me to put it to good use, and I will do so until I die.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'J')esus said you shall know them by their fruits, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, long suffering, gentleness, goodness and faith.


Yes, and your behavior towards your Muslim brothers and sisters shows none of that. You make fun of them, you disrespect their religion, you disrespect their culture. But when I point out that Christianity shares many of those flaws, you get all offended, pout, and leave.

Your double standards are apalling.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'O')n this forum you have shown nothing but hatefulness, anger , been quick to temper, and harsh.

I've been a direct victim of American/Israeli terrorism, and while children of my country were blowing in pieces and my life was in danger, people in this forum would say things like "Go Israel!", "Kill them like dogs!", "Destroy all Tyre", "if they can't escape quick enough, let them die". Not to mention all the insults to my Muslim friends by people who called them backward, terrorists, stupid, mysoginists, bloodthirsty, pedophiles. People who insulted Mohammed and Islam in the most offensive terms that you can imagine.

I have been accused of being a liar, of not being in Lebanon, of not being Lebanese, of being a terrorist. And all along, I managed to maintain a pretty respectful and tempered attitude for all the garbage and disrespect I was exposed to.

Moreover, I NEVER disrespected anyone who did not disrespect me or my nation first.

And you have the guts to tell me that I've only been spitting hate here and that Ive lost my temper too much?

Please explain to me what I did that was so insiduous. I've repeated 100000 times in this forum that quoting any of the Holy Books out of context is wrong as it leads to an extremely distorted understanding of the religion in question.

Yet, people kept posting quotes from the Koran to support their prejudiced views of Islam and Muslims. That's when I decided to post quotes from the Old Testament to show them that it is wrong to quote either book out of context. But they continued using the Koran in offensive ways. That's when I found that webpage that uses quotes from the Bible to explain the commonalities between the Koran and the Bible in their references to holy war and violence.

That's all I did. Please tell me where is the insidiousness and the slander. Should I let these people speak garbage about Islam and use the holy Koran to spread their garbage to other people? Why should I?
