Re: Koranic war crimes

Well, Sharon's visit led to an Intefada - pretty provocative by all accounts. So, the Israelis have passed a law that forbids Jewish people from moving their lips on haram-al-sharif? Interesting, I didn't catch that piece of news. As for the history of Jerusalem, you must have different history book...

Re: Serial liar - exposed

Do you really think that no one will notice you are not answering the questions asked? As I said, the questions are quite simple, as is the context in which I asked them. Your long posts are devoid of any answers to these questions - which raises another question: are you ashamed of your views? Chee...

Re: Koranic war crimes

I guess you didn't register that I don't agree that expelling Muslims living in the Maghreb quarter adjacent to the Western Wall isn't an appropriate analogy to the alleged war crime of preventing Pagans Arabs from worshipping at the Kaaba. As this is a thread about war crimes, I asked (quite reason...

Re: Fatwa against Terrorism

Ok, first let's clear up something that you seem to be implying - I don't want to be accused of misrepresenting your views: Do you agree, or disagree, with the fatwa's main finding that Islam condemns/does not allow any acts of terrorism - i.e. killing of civilians will send you to hell, not to heav...

Re: Is Iran shooting itself in the foot by doing this????

Scary stuff. Unfortunately the man in the street is going to think that this is all 'conspiracy theory' stuff and that's how they'll get away with it. The more I read into it - the more I'm beginning to agree with the argument that financial system of interest is at the root of the troubles world wi...

Re: Is Iran shooting itself in the foot by doing this????

I agree that if interest rates are allowed to be set by the 'market' you won't get manipulation by governments. However, aren't you then just handing over the reins of this powerful economic tool to those who own capital? (Also, it's a bit 'chicken and egg' with an interest based economy, money natu...

Re: Hitler is alive and well living in the Netherlands.

I'm reading with interest the discussion - and I have to say I have sympathy for views expressed by both FD and RobbyG - they make their points well. For Wilders - I only know him from the 'Fitna' episode - and there I actually supported his right to make his point. I thnk it is always better to hav...

Next Intefada - how will it look?

A very interesting article from the Israeli newspaper Haaretz - raising some good points. I also note that it calls a 'spade' a 'spade' - and doesn't pull punches in criticising Hamas, Fatah and the Israeli Government for their respective roles/actions: How will the next Palestinian uprising look? 0...

Re: Israeli Warcrime on USS Liberty in 1967

It's interesting how the truth eventually finds a way into the open. Israel is not having its own way these days and has now resorted to the tactic of labelling criticism of its actions as 'evidence of rising anti-semitism'. The wiki entry on the attack by Israel on the USS Liberty also has a lot of...

But you don't deny you are just like Al Qaeda and justify the slaughter of civilians by people - just as long as they use the excuse 'god ordered u...

Re: Israeli Warcrime on USS Liberty in 1967

Hey, don't take my word for it - take the Israeli Army's word for it in their internal communications at the time (and contrast it with the official spin) - before they started the war by attacking Egypt. Surely you don't believe the spin that the 1967 was a defensive war? So, what's your view of th...

Thanks for the insights Robby - makes interesting reading. Being hard on youth is a tactic tried in the UK - with the 'ASBOs' - anti-social behaviour orders.

Re: Koranic war crimes

Yes, I'm justifying the return to monotheism of the Kaaba. No problems in accepting and clarifying my views of what the Quran says. Contrast this with your condoning of the slaughter of civilians by Israelites and the enslavement/rape of 32,000 virgins in the Biblical War Crimes thread. I also note ...

Re: Israeli Warcrime on USS Liberty in 1967

Re: Koranic war crimes

Why should I condemn Israel for what it hasn't done? Surely there are enough real war crimes for us to condemn? A better analogy would be if some satan worshippers took over Al Aqsa +mosque+ and then some monotheists came along and restored the worship of one God. There too I would not consider this...

Re: Biblical war crimes

The difference is that non-fanatics will denounce cold-blooded acts of murder and enslavement and rapes. Another difference is that I'm unaware of any act of God where virgins are spared and then kept for the use of those who killed the families of the virgins. But the biggest difference is that I c...

Re: Hamas bans men from working in women's hairdressers

Sort of reminiscent of the brutal acts of justice carried out by French resistance under Nazi rule and the more recent 'punishments' meted out in Northern Ireland by the IRA and Protestant miliants. Note that the bombings referred to weren't carried out by Hamas

Re: Israeli Warcrime on USS Liberty in 1967

I just said let's compare internal Israeli military assessments with the official one you've expounded on - is that really being too unreasonable?

Why are you getting your knickers in a twist - did you think we didn't understand the official Israeli line when you first posted it?

Re: 1967 war - US docs declassified

Avoiding the fact that Mossad told the yanks the war would be over in 7 days.

What I said was that Israel believed the war would be ...
