You have now - eh's believes in this myth that Muslims don't worship the God of Abraham, Moses and Jesus!

It is probably not that surprising that the Americans have woken up to the fact that spending $6 billion a year on the embassy in Iraq with 16,000 employees - many of whom are contractors - is a little bit excessive. NYT reports that the staff numbers are being halved. I had to chuckle at the descri...

From the NYT - and totally in line with the FBI statistics about actual terrorist attacks in the USA. No surprises at all for those who've been taking note of the information about terror attacks. However, the study and findings do indeed put into perspective the relative numbers of and the relative...

Anyone could tell me why America needs a village rather than a reasonable size embassy building? Well, for one thing the contractors building the 100 acre complex made a lot of money, and the majority on it are contractors the article states. Also, the article said this: Expressing a common sentime...

The extremist Christian has spoken.

I note he hasn't addressed the central point that Arabs worshipped the God of Abraham - and the name of that God is Allah, the same name that Jews and Christians give to the one true God of the Bible and Quran.

You probably still think Saddam had WMD as 'intelligence reports' said so, don't you?

There's no need - anyone and everyone can easily compare the teachings of Islam (core and peripheral) with fascism and make up their own minds whether the Islamophobic myth has any merits. When even Niall Fergusson etc say this myth is simplistic and inaccurate, there's really no doubt about this be...

shafique

Fail, as predicted. But let me be generous and help you out - let's look at the last 5 years in Europe: Zero European civilians have been killed by Islamic terrorists in the last half decade. In fact, the only injuries incurred from Islamic terrorism were to a security guard who "was slightly w...

shafique

You have a point eh - the threat from Jihadist terrorism is only a fraction of the overall threat of terrorism, which itself is overblown. Same applies for the fear of airline crashes - overall, the threat/risk is low - but the fear factor is high. However here, the point is that 'jihadist' terroris...

shafique

The only problem eh is that you are confusing the Islamophobic blogger version of Islam with reality.

Why not address why credible experts explain why your myth is simplistic and inaccurate?

Why do you feel the need to invent scenarios where you think I'm lying? The fact remains, I do think he should be deported - but as posted before, I think that he is as harmful as Pastor Terry Jones and the Westboro Baptist Church - hateful speech, but ultimately bark worse than bite. Should it be p...

shafique

let's look at the last 5 years in Europe : Zero European civilians have been killed by Islamic terrorists in the last half decade. Facts are facts, young one. We are looking at the incidents of terrorism in the EU (indeed, you are the one that asked to count the bodies IN THE EU)- but as usual you ...

shafique

Why the smoke and mirrors? There's certainly more likelihood of being killed by a right-wing fanatic who supports Bob Spencer than being killed by a 'Jihadist' in the USA. The facts speak for themselves - the MLK bomb attack and the Hutaree Christian militia are two examples of right-wing terrorists...

shafique

Hey, I didn't know Allah is in the Bible. It is in Arabic Bibles - you really should try and read what is posted eh. Really. :roll: But why the rant- I only asked why you won't address the fact that the Arabs worshipped the God of Abraham - and the name of that one God is Allah? Is your argument th...

shafique

I happen to agree with the reasons given by the experts why the myth is both simplistic and historically inaccurate. The myth only makes sense if one believes in a charicature of Islam that only Islamophobic bloggers believe - when we look at the reality of Islam it is pretty easy to reach the same ...

Which ones? I read that he was convicted in Jordan of plotting bomb attacks - not carrying out any.. but I may be mis-remembering.

Cheers,

shafique

So no actual bombings then, just alleged talk and his denials? Or do you have some more specific details?

Come to think of it Terry Jones actually did go on to burn a Quran, didn't he? So I guess he's got a bit more bite than bark after all.

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

Thanks BM for the advice - but why is it you guys always want me to do the work? FD is the one who said Abu Qatada is convicted for bomb attacks. after all. It turns out that there weren't bomb attacks after all (or were there?) As for the Hutaree - they did a bit more than talk, they amassed an ars...

shafique

It appears that eh has a new Islamophobic myth - the one I started with was: There is a Islamophobic myth floating around that Muslims worship a different God than Christians or Jews. The theory goes that the Allah of Islam/Quran is actually a pagan Moon-god of pre-Islamic Arabs. His one is that Mus...

shafique

As far as I can see it's only you that is insisting his bark is worse than his bite Interesting perspective. I was merely asking FD for clarification for his statement which was: Abu Qatada is convicted for bomb attacks. He wasn't, it turns out. As I said in my first post - I agree that he should b...

shafique

BTW eh, why are you avoiding the question about whether you agree with me that bombing abortion clinics is terrorism? So how many EU citizens have been killed by Muslims in the past DECADE as I asked? Why are you changing the goal posts? What you asked was actually: So how many people have been kill...

shafique

Muslims have killed three thousand Americans over the past decade in terrorism attacks. No they haven't. (It is 2012 where you are, isn't it?). This is therefore factually wrong. (Americans, on the other hand, have killed hundreds of thousands* of Muslims though, and you may want to revise your fig...

The lesson we are being told is move when you are told to, jump when you are told to, sit down when you are told to, and if you dont, benwj will call your behavior "being diffiicult" and it will be your fault if you are hit :shock: That does appear to sum up the 'argument' quite well. Pre...

shafique

Your belief in the myth is strong, I grant you. But Jews can pray in Mosques and aren't allowed in Churches. Arabic speaking Jews and Christians call God Allah, and this is in their Bibles. Jews reject the Christian concept of a Trinitarian God as false, but can pray in mosques where the God of Abra...

shafique

I am specifically saying that Anjem is as dangerous as Qatada. Both speak a lot, but stay just the right side of UK law.

What terrorist activity is Qatada being charged with in the UK?

Cheers,

Shafique

shafique

I'm glad we've cleared up your attempted distraction - so we're counting deaths from terrorist attacks IN THE EU, split between the 99+% non-Muslim terrorists and Muslim terrorists. I've started you off - in the past 5 years, the deaths by the <1% Muslim terrorists is ZERO. What is the equivalent nu...

shafique

And note that I used the word "over" in my previous post. Yes, you said: Muslims have killed three thousand Americans over the past decade in terrorism attacks. And this is not correct. Over the past decade, from 2002 to 2012, Muslims have NOT killed three thousand Americans in terrorism ...

shafique

I'm saying that Choudhery is as dangerous - try and read and understand. Choudhery is as 'connected' to terrorism and gives as much hate speeches as Qatada is my argument.

So, I repeat, what terrorist activity is Qatada being convicted/charged with in the UK?

Cheers,

Shafique

shafique

You're the one that made the claim that Muslims have killed 3000 Americans in terror attacks in the past decade. You are wrong.

FBI have handy statistics on terrorist activities in the USA - you can start there.

Your fail is complete. Yet again.

Cheers,

Shafique

I think we're getting somewhere. Jews do reject the Christian concept of God as false, and can't enter churches. No disagreement there, then. Jews do not, however, argue that the God of Moses and Abraham that Christians believe in is false - only that elevating Jesus to the status of God is false. A...
