Re: Christian vs Muslim convert terror counts - the results

I've invited you to verify my figures - the source is on the first page of this list and I painstakingly went through each incident. Given that there were so many, and that I excluded the majority of the incidents listed - my count is a deliberate understatement. But that is my count - I'm still on ...

Re: Israel Admits Harvesting Palestinian Organs

So Israel was, despite the protestations, harvesting body parts illegally. What is not yet proven is the allegation that Palestinian men were taken away alive and returned dead with missing body parts - but the Swedish newspaper reported accurately that this is what Palestinians said had happened (i...

Re: 'Christian Terrorists'

I understand that sometimes it is difficult for you to understand a point that is being made - and thanks for the advice about getting someone to explain things to you. The point is that this particular Church was constructed and used by 'German Christians' who reconciled Nazi ideology with Christi...

Re: The Koran and the big bang

Ok, fair enough. Let us compare creation theories and what scripture says. Eh- what is your view of creation. Do you believe God created the world as described in Genesis - or do you agree with scientific theories of the big bang? Note also what I said above that the Quran 'corroborates' my view tha...

Re: 18th Century Beliefs

So now Luther is similar to Muslims in his attitude to Jews. Nope - Luther's views towards the Jews - his initial embrace of the Jewish people and condemnation of attacks against them then his later hatred against the Jews when they did not accept him, is similar to Muhammad and the Koran's stiffen...

Thanks, but again you are quoting something that doesn't support your claim.

Re: Christian vs Muslim convert terror counts - the results

Fine, if you don't want to verify my figures, then there's not much more I can do to help you on that front - I've been open about where my figures come from.

So, can we now try and get you to 5 terrorists, or are you happy to stick at 4 for the 9 years?

Cheers,

Re: 18th Century Beliefs

The question remains - do you share the 18th century view that Luther and others had that the Jews were responsible for killing Jesus and that the Romans were absolved of this blame? Simple question.

First, let's be clear on a fact we both agree: Indeed, Luther surely believed that Jews - the leadership, for instance, were responsible for Jesus' death when he wrote treatises against the Jews just as he believed the same thing when he wrote in defense of the Jews.
