Cool - so you agree with me that there is nothing unIslamic about Saudi Arabia's ban on female drivers Thanks for including me in your delusions yet again. Perhaps you can explain to the Saudis that they are wrong to consider lifting this ban then - as it is clearly 'Islamic' according to sheik eh-...

I keep being asked to condemn, and I oblige. :wink: (Note, I didn't start this thread - but only invited the fanbois to follow through and support the Kurds in Turkey and Iraq, as well as those in Syria). I do, however, have fun with those who refuse to condemn actions of Israelis though - I have a ...

I'm open to suggestions - I try to keep the 'static' exchanges in isolated and well-labelled threads so that people can take one look and ignore. Also, where there are good points to be made, I tend to make them at the start of the threads and then refer back to them when we get down and dirty in th...

Here's a good report from 'The Real News Network' on the Goldstone report - the video is at the link, and there's a transcript there too.

As a moderator I'm quite tolerant of insults against me - and less so when it is directed against others. I also see it as a sign that the argument has been lost ;) That said, I do have the very bad habit of not letting an issue die a natural death when there are unanswered questions - and I always ...

shafique

I don't have to provide any evidence - my account from Khan is more comprehensive than the short one you quoted from Gabriel. It shows that YOUR interpretation is spin (Gabriel, for example, doesn't say that the military commander and his entourage of soldiers were 'unarmed diplomats'). You've blust...

Is that why you are so keen to visit Afghanistan eh-oh?

Say Shaffy, I think he's ignoring me... :lol: :bigsmurf: Be gentle with the lad RobbyG - if long words hurt his head, think what that diagram is doing to his brain cell(s). (I'm joking eh - take a chill pill - and join me in championing the cause of the oppressed Kurds and oppressed Palestinians et...

As I said, you are free to believe your spin is right.

My only request to you has been to provide any reference that contradicts the fuller account (which I posted in response to your brief quote).

So far, FAIL.

Cheers,
Shafiqiue

I'll wait patiently for the answers to the two questions then.

AMNT x 2

Not like you eh to leave a question unanswered (

)- but seriously, does your Bible really not contain Matthew's words which absolve Pilate of blame for Jesus' death - or do you just choose to ignore this part of the Bible?

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

Yep, I can see the connection - both are fantastical myths that the more gullible think are true!

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

The full account states that the men were good soldiers - and that the Prophet, pbuh, was well advised to send out trained men to accompany the military commander and his soldiers (who were also 'killers'). I note that you are still trying to argue your belief is right, but without any evidence. Che...

Another reminder of a question yet to be addressed.

Why so coy eh? - many Christians don't believe that they will vanish in a flash.

:alien: What part of my previous posts confused you? Was it where I said that, like you, I hadn't actually read what you posted - or was it the part where I said I was still interested in you summarising the points made by Memon. To be honest, I'm trying to emulate your usual MO in this thread by n...

shafique

Still banging on about your belief in your spin I see. Until and unless you provide any reference that contradicts my longer quote (which was posted in response to your shorter quote), why should we believe your spin? I fully understand that you want to believe your spin - that the Muslim soldiers w...

shafique

I know what you are asking - I was merely asking you whether my reply to your original query is confusing you. You pasted a lot of info giving one perspective, which I suspect you haven't actually read. I merely asked you to summarise the responses to the allegations given in the book by Memon. You ...

shafique

Simple, God does not say anywhere in the Quran that women can't drive and the fact Aisha led an army into war demolishes your view that the Saudi laws are Islamic. The very fact the Saudis have said they would consider reformation and abolishing said law (and the fact no other Islamic country in his...

shafique

I have studied the claims of the Mahdi of Sudan, Bab, Bahullah, 12th Imam shias, Druze and Ahmadis (and others). I've actually read Memon's book which I linked to, and hence why I'm referring you to it. I don't want to prejudice your research with my conclusions. As I said, I am not willing to do yo...

shafique

Yawn. You quoted one author's summary, I gave you another fuller account. The ball is in your court. Show that the fuller account is wrong by producing any historical evidence that contradicts it. (You seem to be going on as if you have produced quotes from primary sources - you haven't. I'm asking ...

shafique

That could explain a lot Berrin!

But I wonder whether this is the real reason eh is refusing to answer the question! ?

Cheers,
Shafique

Bump:
What you do after you've answered the two pertinent questions about your allegations is up to you.

Otherwise, it will appear it is a double case of 'AMNT' - all mouth, no trousers.

Cheers,

bump:
Are you imagining things again eh?

Was my question too difficult for you?

Cheers,

shafique

I see you guys are answering questions on my behalf and asking me to provide evidence for your own manufactured questions and answers! Isn't that a sign of madness! ;) (Or perhaps you think I am a UN official or diplomat - that would be another strange fantasy on you guy's parts - but alas I'm only ...

shafique

I didn't say your fantasies were myths - I merely asked whether you'd be jumping on a plane to Kabul to join the batty boy Taliban for some male bonding?

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

The question is quite simple: Does your copy of the Bible have Matthew NOT saying that Pilate washed his hands and was not responsible for killing Jesus.? Or do you agree with those who say Matthew was wrong? Why so coy about your belief about the Bible? The original question (in the first post of t...

shafique

The ball is in your court because you posted a short extract from Gabriel and I replied with a longer and more detailed quote from Khan.

You haven't actually quoted Tabari etc. When/if you do, you'll see that they don't contradict Khan.

Over to you, young man.

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

I agree that you share some strange ideas with some of the fringes of Islamic thinking - but as I stated in my previous reply, the injunction stopping women driving is not Islamic. If it was, then the Saudis would not consider changing the law. Ergo, not all Saudi laws are based on Islamic shariah -...

shafique

Thanks RobbyG - I will indeed read Chomsky's book asap.

The frightening thing is how many swallow hook, line and sinker the spin that is used to cover up these facts. Eg - the 'other' hates our liberty, 'it's a clash of civilisations', 'we are spreading liberty' etc etc!

Shafique
