Good question. To be honest, I don't know and would be most interested in finding out. I wonder how Halliburton is doing? (I do recall some non-US companies winning some oil contracts, but I haven't kept in touch with all the Yank firms creaming off the money allocated for Iraq. There was a good doc...

Muammar causing trouble again - and the resemblance to Michael Jackson is almost as bizare as his pronouncements. Ok, cue Sheikh Eh of the Oh who will soon inform us that Muammar is behaving like a good Muslim and that we should all go and invade Switzerland ;) (We'll gloss over the possibility that...

The sheikh doesn't disapoint!

sheikh - you really should stop recruiting these numpties!

They should be locked up for their own good. These wanabe gangstas are just a joke - perhaps that's why you're attracted to them?

But Mr Sheikh - you argued that God contradicts your interpretation of ch 9.29, doesn't you head spin with all the flip flops you are doing these days? I agreed with you that God's commandments in the Quran contradict your interpretation that Islam teaches warfare against all non-Muslims - so aren't...

God says pay Zakat - He's pretty clear about that - isn't he sheikh?

So what's the problem? What rate should we pay, dear sheikh?

Bump:

Yet another fantasy eh-oh?

Why are you avoiding the question?

Symetric - I too don't dislike Israel's actions because of the religion of the one's occupying Palestinian land - but rather because of the actions themselves. Arab Nationalism, interestingly, actually arose in Lebanon because the Christian Arabs were concerned that the 'Arab' Identity was being sub...

shafique

Oh what wise words you bring to us oh sheikh - smite down all those who call your beliefs 'quaint' with your excellent cutting and pasting skills. Don't let those who accuse you of quoting out of context or of living in the orientalist past deter you, oh wise one.

Cheers,
Shafique

Perhaps you're just dizzy from the flip flops and think you're arguing with someone else?

shafique

Glad we agree that God says we should pay Zakat (and pray, fast, worship him alone, do pilgrimage etc).

Still not sure what you're arguing though - can't see what this has to do with God not saying women can't drive. Are you going to issue another fatwa?

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

You are avoiding the question oh sheikh. Why is that so? I have asked you whether your Bible contains Matthew's words or not. Perhaps your Bible is in ancient Greek and you haven't looked at the translation? Matthew says clearly that Pilate does not take the blame for the killing of Jesus. Here are ...

shafique

TJ - you may be surprised to hear that the Arabs have indeed adopted the course of action yo As you said, this topic is about Iran, so I’ll say it quickly and briefly. Shafique, your points are all good and valid!! But what do we do?? The way I see it, with every passing day, the Arabs lose more…an...

shafique

Oh sheikh, your excellent attempts at presenting an extreme view of Islam and forcing people to actually read the Quran and understand Islam are working wonders. The number of converts to Islam is indeed increasing in the West as you intended - by taking a deliberate extreme view and misquoting the ...

shafique

Yes, oh sheikh, you do seem to have a following amongst the numpties of this world. As, I said, keep up the good work - I applaud your efforts to get the non-numpties to read the Quran and make up their own minds.

Cheers,
Shafique

Another numpty who was entrapped, lock em up I say!

A piece of advice, sheikh, rather than rehash old stories - why don't you and I try and find the 5th actual Muslim convert terrorist - it's a little embarrassing to stick at 4 when I am at 242!

Cheers,
Shafique

Oh, sheikh - you are right. Sub-saharan Africa was indeed doing quite well up until the missionaries and colonialists arrived. But wasn't that where there was Apartheid too? And didn't the Boers (some of them at least) use the Bible to justify the racist laws? Good points sheikh. As for religious an...

shafique

Yes dear sheikh, but I am surprised you are calling yourself a 'muslim' now! I thought you'd just admit to flip-flopping rather than admit you're actually a Muslim sheikh.

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

Dear sheikh, Another epic failure of comprehension. My question was quite clear - it was about Matthew saying PILATE (let me repeat PILATE) not being to blame. He is categoric about this. Pilate says he is not guilty. The question was, whether your Bible contains this categoric statement of Matthew ...

shafique

LOL - I agree melika. The sheikh is producing fatwas about Islamic jurisprudence, I'm in complete denial that I should follow his logic, rather than my simplistic statement that God does not say in the Quran that women can't drive. I don't think even you would argue that Islam says women can't drive...

shafique

LOL - I'm glad that we agree the sheikh is doing a good job and that the Muslims using profane language can learn a few things from him.

As for the sheikh being polite - I guess you missed all the insults he's thrown out and I've laughed at!

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

The sheikh (aka 'freefromrats'; Ikka'; 'event horizon') is lately issuing opinions (aka fatwas) on what Islam teaches about women driving. We agree that God does not say that women should not drive in the Quran. Another recurring theme is supposed war crimes by the Prophet, pbuh, and whether God ord...

Oh, and Numbers 31 continues and tells us exactly how many virgins were captured: The plunder remaining from the spoils that the soldiers took was 675,000 sheep, 72,000 cattle, 61,000 donkeys and 32,000 women who had never slept with a man . http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=numbers%2031&a...

shafique

I guess you just attract numpties with your beliefs, oh sheikh.

Anyway, keep up the good work - I'm impressed with your reverse psychology technique to get people to understand the real teachings of Islam.

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

^so was he was as religious as Baroch Goldstein was, oh sheikh?

Fascinating stuff. Anyway, I have managed to get a copy of Failed States and will report back when I've finished it. As for your analysis in your last post - it is totally in accord with what I've read so far as well. Chomsky argues the same in his other books - IIRC - and the illusion of democracy ...

On Saturday: Looks like things aren't going well for Christians in either Nigeria or Liberia. Too bad, sub-saharan Africa used to be a place where there seemed to be little inter-religious quarrels. On Sunday: No - I'm not exactly aware of violent religious conflict between the natives of sub-Sahara...

shafique

Actually I'm quite impressed by your reverse psychology. I gave you far too little credit in the past dear sheikh.

bump - why the evasion? The question about Pilate is very clear.. where's the answer to the question?
