More positive news - this time from the USA where the Jewish community supports the construction of a Muslim house of worship: Another Mosque Project Seeks Support, This Time With Jewish Help By Rex Weiner TEMECULA, CALIF. — Asked why his group decided to spend the first night of Hanukkah with a Syr...

Some more positive news (a good day for this, so far) - two of the racist rabbis are backing down: Amid uproar, two rabbis pull their names from letter forbidding rental of homes to Arabs Rabbis remove their signatures after ultra-Orthodox leader denounces the religious ruling. By Yair Ettinger Two ...

You have to take up the issue with the FBI and Europol - and we can discuss the stats in the relevant threads. But I certainly would trust the FBI lists over that produced by Islamophobes. At the very least you should compare the two. For example, check that the pipe bombing of a Florida mosque on M...

shafique

LOL - why is it that when faced with facts the people who hold dearly to Islamophobic beliefs launch ad hominem attacks? Herve - your belief that I am a lady speaks volumes about your ability to assess information out there! ;) But, what's this about JDL pipe bombs being fire crackers?? Here's what ...

Think of it this way. If God had created all living creatures with the goal that we don't suffer at all - we might as well all be single-cell bacteria livinging a warm soup that provides for all our needs and we could all live for ever in a state where there is no pain, no discomfort. Giving a creat...

shafique

Yes. I do.

You should have been more precise in your question Icenic. ;) But yes, I do believe the 9/11 attacks were carried out by terrorists who were Muslim and were making a political point about attacking the USA. I do believe the terrorists believed they were carrying out Jihad. I don't believe the conspi...

^Ok then. DDS is a tin foiler!!

Whilst I don't believe it was a big consipiracy - as I said, I'm still looking for a reasonable explanation for the indestructible passport though (let's explain the manageable, small bits of info first I say).

Cheers,

It is also worth pointing out that it is not just Muslims in the USA that are playing an active part in countering terrorism - but also in the Middle East. Recall that the recent HP Printer cartridge plot was discovered when a Muslim decided to come forward and give evidence: Indeed, in that the thr...

^Sorry, just to be pedantic (and I understand where you're coming from) - but the Copperfield statue of Liberty illusion was done at night - so not in full daylight.

Please continue.

(Oh, and yes - I do know how it is done - and it wouldn't have worked it daylight. )

I think it is ok to be agnostic on this point - and ok to have some maybes. I'm still struggling for a good explanation for the passport, for example. I've not read any convincing arguments for the other 'holes' in the official line either - but I'm still applying Ocram's razor and coming down on th...

shafique

@Shaf - The two things that make me believe that its not what the public has been lead to believe are - (a) The indestructable passport (b) The way the buildings collapsed The passport thing was so outrageous that most of the guys in our office initially thought it was a joke - we couldn't believe ...

shafique

Herve - remember that this thread is about Muslims who actively aided authorities against terrorist acts by Muslims. Are you referring to this list of incidents given in the OP when you say 'your reports are flawed'? I totally agree that there is a problem with some Muslims - I mean the 6% of terror...

A bump for newcomers in these parts.

Some guys aren't really interested in honest debate.. we call them trolls.

^Interesting eh - I have to say, youtube videos don't show any collapsed walls - but I'll take you word for it for now. (I also agree, there also needs to be a credible/plausible explanation for why a missile was fired at the Pentagon. I haven't really seen one that I can buy into - hence my current...

shafique

so, 32 attacks out of 35 by Muslims, it is still 6 % to you. Why do you keep repeating these figures, you only discredit yourself. I keep repeating the figures because they are accurate and from the FBI. Your '35 attacks' excludes a pipe bomb that exploded at a mosque in Florida in May 2010, but in...

shafique

In a letter sent on Monday, they said Israel "like any other state" should be made to feel "the consequences" and pay a price for breaking international law. Cue fanbois arguments that Israel is above International Law etc. The extent of the colonies is still shocking to me ever...

shafique

This could also be in the 'religion forum' - but as Hazelton addresses the point why Islamophobes (and extremists) can and do misquote the Quran - in this Tedx presentation. It took her 3 months to read the Quran - 'reading slowly' - something that people like Bob Spencer and Gert Wilders (who both ...

shafique

^Do we have the passports from the other passengers that were also undamaged? That would go some way to dispel the indestructible passport issue.. until then, the official story line seems to raise more questions than answers (and it doesn't get any clearer the more times it is told ... 'male passer...

shafique

Epic fail. Sorry, but you're the one claiming a list of 35 attacks is more credible than the FBIs list. I have merely asked you why the bombing of a mosque in May 2010 is not on the list, but a failed bombing in Times Square is. Both did not injure anyone, but one actually exploded - and both target...

shafique

I simply asked why the Florida pipe bomb which exploded wasn't on your list? How is targetting civilians in Time square any different from targetting civilians in a Florida mosque? Why should we trust this list and not the FBI's comprehensive list? The fact that you haven't heard of the Pipe Bomb in...

shafique

Very enlightening posts Icenic - you show a lot of maturity for someone of your age. It is a pleasure to read your first hand insights. I'm sure eh will be grateful that you are correcting many of his misconceptions (not least the factual bits of news he gets wrong - such as Hariri being killed by a...

at around 1m 20: "Yet the fact that so few people actually read the Quran is precisely why it is so easy to quote - that is to MISQUOTE. Phrases and snippets taken out of context in what I call the 'highlighter version' which is the one favoured by both Muslim fundamentalists and anti-Muslims, ...

bump for capiscum.

shafique

Is that a Merry Christmas from your friends who dont support terrorism Shafique? ... I' d like to hear you condemn this vicious and coward attack by muslims just before Christmas. capsiscum - the fact that you think a Muslim would NOT condemn this act of attempted terrorism speaks to your prejudice...

shafique

^You're right eh - I should clarify my statement that the Injil is not 'a holy book as such'. The Injil is revelation given to Jesus, and some of this was indeed written down. Contrast that with the Psalms of David and the Tawrat of Moses which also were written down. Now the Christian Gospels are a...

shafique

Stockholm suicide bombing: Shafique let s see how the investigation unfolds, but already it looks like your 0.4% only of terrorist attacks are from Muslims seems much harder to sustain. Note: your condenmation mentions an "attempted" terrorist act: 2 persons were injured therefore we are ...

shafique

I also just quoted official statistics. We can compare and contrast beliefs with statistics - I think that is a valid way to check what someone tells you. Do you disagree? As predicted, you don't blame Catholicism for crimes committed by Catholics - which is great. What is a shame is that you seem t...
