Let's see if a speparate thread on eh's offer to compare stated views gets him to back up the claim. I suspect we'll see more squirming and no answers.. but you never know.

eh's claim:

event horizon wrote:Happy to compare my stated religious views with shafique's stated religious views.

When I called his bluff:

eh,

shafique wrote: can event horizon join me in condemning the war crimes described in the Bible carried out by the Israelites - where children and women are slaughtered and virgins enslaved? Condemn this as a war crime?

Simple enough question. Why the filibustering?

A related question that eh was also raised in the past is eh's views of the American Christians who kill doctors and nurses who perform abortions. Is his religious view that these Christians have sinned and are going to hell, or does he agree with them that they are doing God's work? My view is that any terrorist - Muslim or Christian, suicide or otherwise, who kills children, women etc - are sinning and will go to hell (and that the act is against Islam - and specifically, any Muslim suicide bomber targetting Israeli civilians - regardless of whether the terrorist says they are soldiers in civilian clothes - is committing a sin and acting against Islam)

Is eh's religious view that the Christian terrorists blowing up doctors are as guilty of sin as the Muslim suicide bombers - and does he join me in condemning both equally?

Case closed.

My view is that Muslims who kill in the name of Islam also secure a place in Paradise - according to their beliefs.

Typo now corrected. So, we see that eh is reading the post.. but why is he not comparing his stated religious view with mine?

(We can overlook his usual misinterpretations of Islam, the question was about his religious view - and specifically the blowing up of Doctors by his fellow American Christians).

Will we get a strainght answer or was his claim just another example of an empty boast (or is it a lie??)

I don't share the Muslim belief promoting struggle where violent actions in the name of religion erase bad deeds or are gateways to Paradise.

This is largely a foreign concept to non-Muslims. Hence the inherent fallacy of your post.

It appears the answer is a 'No', but eh hasn't the courage to state his views.

Just as I thought - yet another empty claim.

(BTW - there are many blogger-only theories of Islam that I disagree with too, but we are talking about the stated beliefs of you and me.)

Shafique
