QUOTE (ahmd @ Dec 15 2009, 10:32 PM)

Islam, much larger than the confines of a group or in the State.

Islam is a religion for many of the billion and a half billion people, how you want the monopoly of a group or country.

But if it be asked whether the Taliban are Muslims?


I'll tell you yes,  Taliban are Muslims


But you didn't condemn them.

QUOTE
On the other hand Are you condemn the killing of children, women and men and raping women and children, men and genocide At the hands of U.S. soldiers?


Yes we do, idiot. That's why they go to jail.

"On the other hand" why did Muslims dance in the streets when the men, women and children of 9/11 were killed?

I ask you again, who started this horror movie between America and Islam?

"Genocide." You forget who tried to wipe out the Marsh Arabs. It wasn't an American.


biggrin.gif "Slave to Allah" That is a telling statement. Oh, that will make us eager to abandon reason and follow you down the trail. Again, I'll repeat wise words that I heard once. "Whether you are the Devil's bitch or God's bitch, you are still a bitch."

I talk with Iraq and Afghanistan veterans almost every week. The things they see Muslims do in the dark with night-vision goggles! Even I'm to embarrassed to say it. But you know what I mean.

biggrin.gif With all the problems Islam has in the countries it is now what could possibly make you come here and try to persuade us?

I'm an autonomous being who finds that it insults me for anyone to prattle that my life means nothing without a divine purpose: I have no divine master! No future state can add to my life's essential meaning, albeit it could add more meanings.
One whines in arguing for divine purpose, and makes that silly non-sequitur in whining that without Him therefore , we have no real purpose.
Francisco Jose Ayala whines such nonsense in his book on evolution and religion.

Islam is more a war mongering propaganda than a religion. It was used by Mohammed to ready his troops to die for a cause. And, indeed, Islam was spread by the sword.

Why anyone would follow a questionable religion started by an illiterate pedophile is beyond me! (Mohammed was unable to read or write, and he consumated his marriage to his six year old wife when she was nine years old, which, I safely deduce, makes him an illit................................)

What is the purpose of life?

"To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women"

Just doesn't get any better than that IMO.

It is offensive and ruinous, something to be avoided at all cost, for a nonbeliever to hear a Christian talking about these things as though with Christian writings as his source, and yet so nonsensically and with such obvious error that the nonbeliever can hardly keep from laughing.
-- St. Augustine --

I laugh a lot in the Evolution/Creation section of this forum.

Quick quiz...

Where is that saying from?

Hint... it's not from Conan.

Actually that quote it IS from Conan the Barbarian.

But I suspect you are referring to the fact that it paraphrases Genghis Khan's:

"The greatest pleasure is to vanquish your enemies and chase them before you, to rob them of their wealth and see those dear to them bathed in tears, to ride their horses and clasp to your bosom their wives and daughters."

Arthur

What's funny is because of the Khan's inbreeding and killing off a good amount of the local human biogenetic diversity, all his surviving strains are vulnerable to genetic disease and extinction in the future.

Kublai did pretty well.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kublai_Khan

I think his descendents are doing quite well.

Oh, and the Life Expectancy in much of that part of the world tends to be quite high.

We were discussing Genghis, but I don't doubt the confused view you see from your fogged up, rosy colored lenses. On many subjects.

(For example, I leave you with your total quote, to show your readership here how YOU like to drown them in data, even if that data is damning to YOUR point of view).

And what do you base your view on Genghis then?

Ah, you were talking about Genghis' descendents as well.

Kublai was his grandson.

Ah, grasshopper, but as I was saying "...all his surviving strains are vulnerable to genetic disease and extinction in the future..."

The great number of genetic harm done to the healthy family strains also, as they will continue to inter-breed with the only "majority biogenetic strain available in the region".

It would be my guess that your family can relate to the situation? rolleyes.gif

Excuse me for thinking you were capable of rational discussion.

My bad.

Won't happen again.

I don't understand what you are saying either.
