Points out the hypocraisy and bigotry of the phobes very clearly. You can do the same with the infinite number of threads here and the result would be the same. Absolutely. And the fact that when faced with this fact, the only response is a weak 'whataboutery' argument based on a deliberate misquot...

Its not only Lisa, but bart standing next to her I have a sneaky suspicion that someone at the design agency was having a sneaky joke. Here's another real logo that has unfortunate connotations: http://bp.uuuploads.com/worst-logo-fails/logo-fail-catholic-priest.jpg This is an actual logo designed i...

I've also heard forced conversions are not at all common and are not part of Islam. You heard right - but this case was about a specific allegation and a hype about a protest by a few of Palestinians who claimed they were being held against their will. You'll note that Haaretz eventually changed it...

shafique

I must have struck a nerve with : Justifying Islamophobia by alleging anti-semitism is quite sad (even if it is an imagined anti-semitism in this case). But it is, in a way, honest - equating the tea-party Islamophobia with anti-semitism. 'Not the brightest' argument, one could argue. Anyway, I'm no...

There seems to be a fundamental problem with Pauline Christianity's teaching that Jesus freed Jews from the restrictions of following God's laws in the OT. For example, some Pauline Christians may question today whether it is logical to believe God would say touching pork is forbidden: The pig is al...

shafique

Typically, Pauline Christians don't have an answer for this issue. As I thought. Just some random accusations about not reading the Bible rather than any answer or link to an answer. Jesus didn't actually free people from the OT laws after all - and the early disciples didn't think so, clearly. Pau...

shafique

Paul wasn't a disciple, and whilst I refer to Pauline Christians like you eh - I don't actually mention Paul in the OP at all. Are you answering a different thread? Or just up to your old tricks of not answering the question by creating strawmen? My point was quite clear, that Jesus never taught tha...

shafique

Jews do not hold the same superstitious teachings I didn't see an answer to whether you think God forbidding the eating of pork and the touching of pigs carcasses as being illogical or not. Interesting now you bring superstition into it. Perhaps you think that God stating Pigs are unclean is a supe...

shafique

When we get past the name calling, there is no substance in your post at all. That is the hallmark of a troll. God forbade eating of pork and the touching of pigs carcasses in Deut 14.8 - you questioned whether such a commandment was illogical in the quote given in the OP. Pauline Christians like yo...

shafique

Again, very little substance and a lot of name-calling. Trolling is a sign that you don't actually have a cogent argument. God in Deut 14.8 is talking about pig carcasses and not eating pork. The pig is also unclean; although it has a split hoof, it does not chew the cud. You are not to eat their me...

shafique

The whole thing kicked off after a Muslim accused a Christian laundry worker of singing a shirt! (I initially read that as 'singing' as in song, rather than singing as in burned) :shock: Then a Muslim is killed, then the attacks against the Christians. (Interesting that eh didn't choose to mention t...

shafique

Nope, sorry - I can't see where God says in Deut 14.8 that all carcasses are unclean - God is talking specifically about pork and pig carcasses. The pig is also unclean; although it has a split hoof, it does not chew the cud. You are not to eat their meat or touch their carcasses. Jews can, and do, ...

shafique

Good, so God does not say in Deut 14.8 that all carcasses are not to be touched. Great - He only forbids eating and touching of pig carcasses in that verse. Now, Jesus says: Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. 18 For ve...

shafique

I just quoted the NT. :roll: Jesus didn't say it was ok to eat pork, and the early disciples all followed the Jewish law. Jesus did say that the law should be followed. Still can't see your answer as to why Pauline Christians like you think it is ok to eat pork given that Jesus didn't teach it was o...

shafique

:roll: The article says the attacks came first then a Muslim (attacker) died and more attacks followed: Nope, the article clearly states (and you even quoted it): The unrest in Dahshur, about 40km (25 miles) south of Cairo, started after a Muslim man died of wounds sustained in an earlier clash on F...

shafique

I'm not sure why your still confused. A Muslim died in earlier clashes, then the attacks on the church and Christians that injured 16. The attacks in the quote in the OP only took place after the Muslim died on Tuesday - that's what the article clearly states. Sheesh - you even quoted the relevant s...

shafique

When you explain why you think it is ok to eat pork, then you can also explain about shell fish too. I'm more interested in why you are avoiding answering the question why you choose to eat pork when God says it is unclean and forbidden, and Jesus taught that the law should be followed. I guess I wa...

shafique

. The attacks in the quote in the OP only took place after the Muslim died on Tuesday - that's what the article clearly states. The man died of his injuries on Tuesday and was buried overnight, sparking the latest unrest . Just in case you didn't see this in my previous post above. I leave you now ...

shafique

Why are you being so defensive?

Either you can support the Pauline Christian doctrine that it is ok to eat pork or you can't. No need to go troll these forums with your random thoughts.

Cheers,

Shafique

shafique

:roll: Muslim dies on Tuesday, you don't mention it. You only choose to mention the attacks that took place against Christians which took place AFTER the death of the Muslilm. Your spin failed. Had you mentioned clashes on Friday which resulted in the Muslim dying on Tuesday, you'd have some credibi...

Not surprised that there's little take up. Was surprised to read that Hamlet had been translated though.. Hamlet in Klingon! :shock: Made me think..

A simple, 'no I can't' would have sufficed.

You're off my foe list now Drew - not much need for it now.

Interesting piece from the US about an analyst who studied the right wing terrorist groups in the USA but whose work was stopped by the authorities: DHS Crushed This Analyst for Warning About Far-Right Terror by Spencer Ackerman (Wired.com) Daryl Johnson had a sinking feeling when he started seeing ...

shafique

However, the reality according to the latest studies is that American Muslims help law enforcement and are more likely to reject violence than any other U.S. religious community, and nearly all American Muslims have no sympathy or loyalty for al-Qaida. This fact does cause some heart ache amongst t...

Sorry to hear that mel. I didn't realise that there are 60 universities in Iran. That's quite impressive. With the majority of students going to university being women, it seems strange to be discriminating against women in this way. Segregation is one thing - but to not allow women in some fields i...

As the article points out, the fact that the majority of Libyans threw out a minority of extremists should get as much headline attention as the actions of the extremists: Libyan citizens drive the extremists out An important event happened in Benghazi Libya on Friday.
