Why was he in Pakistan training to go back to the US and attack US citizens is indeed the crux of the matter - the reason is the bombings of Pakistanis by the US. QED It just appears that your cherished fantasy that all Muslims hate non-Muslims is blinding you from actually reading what is written. ...

Knock yourself out - treat this thread as you personal sand-box where you can 'play' to your heart's content. Should you have any new point you wish me to discuss/address, please make that clear in your post. We've already covered your quaint orientalist views of Islam and we've shared a laugh at yo...

So, you won't answer the question whether you think the Quran is NOT the word of God because it contains misogynistic verses? Speaks volumes that you think this question is 'spam'. You really don't have the courage of your convictions - do you eh. For me, it shows that your arguments rely on hypocri...

You are referring to the article entitled:

"Times Square bombing in retaliation for U.S. drone attacks, No connection to Islam"

aren't you?

Hmm.

shafique

Bora - steady, you'll be accused of being anti-semitic for such comments!

shafique

eh - fascinating insights. Do you have some quotes - I haven't heard that Chomsky got it so wrong about the Soviet Union, but have read his books about American Hegemony - and his analysis of the Israeli Palestine issue is actually spot on - which is presumably what he's going to be talking about in...

Do you, or do you not, join me in condemning as a war crime the enslavement of 32,000 virgins and the slaughter of the married women, men and boys (and livestock) carried out by the Israelites as described in the Bible, or do you still want to argue that 'God told them to do it' is a valid excuse? ...

shafique

Thanks - so you think God's words can be homophobic and anti-women. As a believing Christian you have to take this view. Therefore, how is criticising the Quran for saying 'Good women are obedient' not hypocritical when the Bible says Ephesians: 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, ...

shafique

Ahh, that's where I'm going wrong!

Thanks for the 'heads up' - oooh err missus!

Cheers,
Shafique

Back to name calling rather than addressing the points raised? Hmm. Is there a flaw in my logic? You say God's words can contain homophobic and misogynistic writings - the Bible says women should be subservient - why would you NOT be hypocritical if you criticise the Quran for saying good women shou...

As promised to 'eh' - here are the statistics for terrorist acts in Europe. This article complements the one for the USA which highlighted the fact that only 94% of terrorist acts on the FBI list were carried out by Muslims, and that there were more terrorist acts by Jewish extremists on that list t...

Ms Palin is quoted as saying: Go back to what our founders and our founding documents meant — they’re quite clear — that we would create law based on the God of the bible and the ten commandments. What in hell scares people about talking about America’s foundation of faith? It is that world view tha...

Sorry, did you answer my question in your post above? Back to name calling rather than addressing the points raised? Hmm. Is there a flaw in my logic? You say God's words can contain homophobic and misogynistic writings - the Bible says women should be subservient - why would you NOT be hypocritical...

^:) Sometimes I feel sorry for Palin - just as I felt sorry for Quayle.. :mrgreen: Hey, eh - were you old enough to vote in 2008? If so, did you vote for Palin/Mcain? (I would have guessed many youngsters would have gone with the Democrats - but what about young Bible bashers - would they have gone ...

shafique

What's the matter eh - I thought you wanted to discuss your views? Now you have clarified that we shouldn't reject the Bible for containing anti-gay and anti-women verses, I am asking you whether or not it would be hypocritical to criticise the Quran for saying 'good women are obedient'. Perhaps you...

We can post the response to this topic here, when it is answered in the Lars thread in the politics section.

shafique

Eh - how about we tackle this less contentious topic. You requested I set up a new thread to discuss this - so I guess you must have had time to formulate an answer by now?

My mistake, this photo of American school kids is from 1942 and not 1943 as I said above (the first one, is from 1941 - at a time when the Nazis had been around for a long time and WWII was raging) http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/65/Bellamy_salute_1.jpg Here are two of priests: http:...

I don't care much who gives a nazi salute. After WW II I consider a nazi salute a clear sign of anti-semitism. You don't...why are you trying to obscure that fact? I consider anti-semitism to be a sign of anti-semitism and disagreed with you that a photo of Hezbollah fighters giving the salute outw...

Will you take this comment back now, or do you still believe it to be true?

Cheers,

shafique

OK, so according to you a nazi salute is not a clear sign of anti-semitism. Don't understand why you have to discuss it further. Your statement is chrystal clear. In general terms, I'd say it is a fascist sign and if possible I'd check with the group giving the sign what their beliefs are before I ...

I've never denied any argument that comes close to saying that the Holocaust did not take place. Yes, that is my point exactly. :oops: I should have said 'I've never AGREED with any argument that comes close to saying the Holocaust did not take place.' :oops: You recall some calculations I made - h...

shafique

Fascinating is one word for it. Given I don't recall what you're talking about, I would use a different word for it - something like 'desperation' :) Ah, you donot recall. Let me help to refresh a bit. Spoonman on DHH posted a link to a neo-nazi website. There death camps where denied with some cal...

It is worth re-posting this article written by Hamas two years ago, some people still seem to be labouring under the impression that Hamas denies the Holocaust or is waging a religious war against Israel. Their words are pretty clear: Hamas condemns the Holocaust We are not engaged in a religious co...

Not sure about the beard thing - historically, men wore beards. In my history lessons, the fashion for shaving off beards is relatively recent phenomenon - I think it the Czar Peter the Great that decided the men should shave off their beards. In history, the ancient Greeks had beards (I'm thinking ...

shafique

what 'calculations' could show that death camps didn't exist? Calculations of how many jews were alive after and before 1945 according to neo-nazi's. No, I would have remembered that. So, I have to say this is one of your 'imagined' arguments. I've never posted this quote or said I agree with it. L...

FD asked whether I consider Berrin to be anti-semitic. To be fair to both Berrin and FD, let me look at what Berrin has written and assess whether I'd label Berrin as an anti-semite: Well I remember you couldn't get yourself denying the conclusions of 'documentaries' from Iran and Hamas denying the ...

I think it is a good point to take a deep breath and review what has transpired in this thread. It is quite interesting on a number of levels. The intial post is about a US survey which shows Islamophobia is more likely amongst Americans who hold anti-semitic views. No one really seems to dispute th...

If that isn't spin, I don't know what is? This thread is about bloggers spinning a fantasy that baby Omar was killed by a rogue rocket and not slaughtered by Israeli bombs. I'm pretty sure that Omar's mother and father will approve of this thread which is about correcting a lie that bloggers have m...
