Re: Holy War through Byzantium eyes

Thanks eh, the essay by Dennis is indeed interesting. He states the Byzantine view of Jihad in Islam as fact, and as this topic is adequately addressed elsewhere, I won't comment on this view any more (what Medieval Christians thought of Islam in general is more a reflection on their prejudices rath...

Malecide - Crusaders killing in name of Christ

In the Byzantium thread there was a reference to Malecide in the article quoted. This was used in the context of the Catholic Church extolling the virtues of killing in the name of Christ during the Crusades. Specifically, St Bernard of Clairvaux was given the task of preaching and encouraging Chris...

Re: Hamas: In Their Own Voices

Nope, far from it young loon. I've made ample references to the loon slurs which rely on Memri translations and selective quotes. Regarding the Holocaust, Hamas is pretty categoric: But it should be made clear that neither Hamas nor the Palestinian government in Gaza denies the Nazi Holocaust. The H...

Re: Malecide - Crusaders Killing In Name Of Christ

I'm not engaging in 'what aboutery' - I leave that to you. I'm just referring to what Christians taught in terms of Holy War in Christendom. I agree that St Bernard's statements are clear: The Christian glories in the death of a pagan, because Christ is glorified Can't see how you're going to spin t...

Re: Malecide - Crusaders Killing In Name Of Christ

LOL. Nice attempt again. But massive fail. Martyrs go to heaven, yes. But killing does not wipe away sins. The difference isn't even subtle. You can't even bring yourself to quote the verse in full. Anyway, let's get back to St Bernard and his glorifying of killing. Enough with the 'what aboutery' a...

Re: "What about-ery"

eh couldn't really hold out, so many instances of this 'playground' defence today. ;) A classic case in the Malecide thread - itself a spin off of a thread about Holy Wars which he started. In it St Bernard is quoted egging on Crusaders and glorifying the killings done in the name of Christ (of non-...

Re: Malecide - Crusaders Killing In Name Of Christ

I'm quite categorically and clearly stating a fact: no where in Islam does it teach/state/infer/allude that killing absolves the killer of sin - whether it is in Jihad or otherwise. Martyrs do go to heaven, whether they are martyred by bombs, knives etc. But what has that got to do with St Bernard's...

The knight of Christ, I say, kills with tranquil conscience and dies even more...

Re: Malecide - Crusaders Killing In Name Of Christ

A pretty lame attempt at 'what about-ery', eh. Is that the best you could do?

It is a sad sight to see loons resort to attack rather than do the decent thing and condemn the call for killings in the name of Christ. The hate must out-weigh the shame. Sad.

Re: 'Moderate' Muslims rejoice over Hitchens' cancer diagnos

I personally wish Hitchens well - Cancer is not something to rejoice about. I certainly have read of Christians and Muslims rejoicing at God's curse on Hitchens, but the article above is strange in that there isn't much vitriol on display (just do a search and you'll find Christians cursing and pray...

Ah, the loon realises he's been punked and resorts to attack - again.

So, what does your quote from the loon I-spy-book on Islam have to do with the article about Hitchens?

Do you just have a random loon quote generator at hand??

Re: Accused Witch Murdered In Gaza

An old lady gets murdered in Gaza and you choose to highlight the part of the Israeli article which criticises the covering up of shop dummies! How is this even relevant to the story about the murder of the lady? :?
