Re: Islam and concubinage - master and slave girl relationships

No it doesn't.

You really shouldn't take Ibrahim's word for these things. Tut tut.

See previous reference to 'tired canaries'.

BTW, how many Muslims do you know who have slave girls today? ;)

Re: Islam and concubinage - master and slave girl relationships

Here's another angle you could pursue 'eh' - why don't you quote what God has to say about s.ex outside marriage. You have to agree He addresses the topic head on in the Quran, doesn't He?

So, you won't condemn the Israeli war crimes.

Interesting.

Re: Koranic war crimes

Great, I'm glad my view that it wasn't a crime registered with you. In a way, I'm sort of relieved I do have a different perspective on what constitutes a war crime than you - for example, I would be mortified if I had your view that it was ok to enslave and rape 32,000 virgins and slaughter men and...

Re: Koranic war crimes

Well, if you do condemn Israeli war crimes - why don't you just state this fact.

You don't condemn the Israelites when they butchered women etc and enslaved virgins, so I guess you are being consistent by not condemning more recent war crimes.

Re: Islam and concubinage - master and slave girl relationships

Why beat about the bush? - God has issued clear instructions regarding adultery. Why don't you quote those verses?

Is it because the 'tired canary' arguments rely on quotes out of context?

Re: Koranic war crimes

You say it is ok for Israelite to slaughter civilians and enslave/rape 32,000 virgins. I asked whether you condemned (or even acknowledged) the war crime carried out in the 60's when the Israelies violated international law and evicted Muslims from their homes in the Maghreb quarter. Your silence wa...

Re: Biblical war crimes

So, when the Israelites were raping the virgins (I'm guessing that 32,000 virgins weren't left 'untouched') were they doing 'God's work' in your mind? Or when the Israelites were killing the virgins' brothers, fathers, mothers and friends -this was all doing 'God's work'? You see no difference betwe...

Re: Hypocrisy uncovered

So, you're a racist hypocrite in denial? :lol:

But seriously, why don't you answer the question:

Is it only massacres carried out by Jewish people that you support, or do you only condemn massacres carried out by Muslims or Allah?

Re: Fatwa against Terrorism

So you agree that there is a difference between terrorism and the concept of a 'Just War' (a concept not unknown in Christianity either)? However, I'm intrigued as to whether you actually read the article above (or the fatwa). Is there anything specific in his fatwa that you dispute - from a theolog...

Re: Israelis will now be denied entry into Dubai

^ You're right FD - that's one crime Israel doesn't commit.

It will be interesting to see how the 'but you look Israeli and we won't let you in' will work in practice!

Also interesting to read 'eh' contrast 'Israeli' with 'Muslim' in his last paragraph:?

Re: Islam and concubinage - master and slave girl relationships

When I said you were using Ibrahim's technique of quoting Quranic verses out of context, to what verse did you think I was referring to? If you contend that Islam allows adultery, why don't you quote the verses where God talks about adultery? Could it be because it would show you're taking verses ou...

Re: Koranic war crimes

It was a simple question - given that you are ok with Israelites slaughtering civilians and enslaving/raping 32,000 virgins, why would I not assume you condone Israeli war crimes when you presented excuses for their actions rather than condemn them? So, do you or do you not condemn (or even acknowle...

Re: Biblical war crimes

It is fascinating that you are equating Israelites massacring civilians and enslaving/raping 32,000 virgins with Angels!

I can't see any difference between you and other religious fanatics that glorify acts of terrorism and think they'll be rewarded for killing civilians.

Re: Fatwa against Terrorism

The article says that Al Qaeda don't have a leg to stand on, theologically. Pretty much like you on the subject then. Another classic example of 'All Mouth, No Trousers' - especially as I note you haven't actually conceded that you've read the article above, let alone the fatwa itself! But let me qu...

As I said above - I wonder how they are going to put into practice, and I can't help thinking whether this is just a sop to the 'home crowd' given that they can't actually stop people with dual nationality coming in (unless they have a database of all Israelis...?) Perhaps they should just have ever...

Re: Fatwa against Terrorism

Yawn.

Did you even read the article or just my quote? When you read the fatwa itself, perhaps then you'll be in a better position to question whether it addresses your 'tired canary'/'quaint belief' or not.

Germans not happy with Israel!

When Germany starts criticising Israel, you know things aren't going well for our neighbourhood nuclear power! Der Spiegel is reporting that Germany has opened up a murder investigation into the Mossad assassination of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh. In addition to looking into whether documents were fraudulent...

How can I put this bluntly?
