Lesson 1 for herve, perspective: http://www.dubaiforums.com/dubai-politics-talk/handy-guide-for-posters-perspective-t44200.html Lesson 2: learn to distinguish the real extent of the threat from loon fantasies (loons are the one's who are denying the real extent of the threat, not the authorities): h...

^Fail. Again. The reality is that the authorities ARE catching terrorists such as the Hutaree Christian militia in Michigan whose arsenal was greater than all the 'Islamic' terrorists caught in the USA since 2011. There are facts, and there is spin. Easy choice for me to make. Cheers, Shafique-- Wed...

shafique

He speaks a lot of sense. Around 10min he makes the distinction between Islam as a faith and what he calls 'Islamism' - an ideology that calls for the destruction of the West. Bravo. I agree with him on this. Interestingly..at around 8min he talks of Emirates airline practicing slavery 'to this day'...

This particular discussion should now be in the religion forum, as it deals with eh's beliefs and evasion on Biblical passages -from talking donkeys to whether Christians should ignore Timothy or Paul over whether 'works are required' (see below). But, given we are here - let me address the points: ...

shafique

Given that the young one is avoiding answering the Biblical beliefs he has in the relevant thread, and is resurrecting old threads... let's post the questions here for him to see and answer. He desperately wants to avoid the fact that I DON'T believe in talking ants but rather a tribe called 'Al Nam...

shafique

Eh brought up a old thread which contained the unanswered question over a contradiction in the Bible on a fundamental Christian theological point. Are 'works' required for salvation, or is faith alone necessary? The Biblical quote from James is categoric - faith without works is dead. The Biblical q...

shafique

I'm not ashamed for NOT believing in talking donkeys or talking ants. It is clear to me that the parable of Moses and Khidr is a parable - but I understand your desire to believe it to be literal. Isn't this because you desperately want to divert attention away from your extremist views about killin...

shafique

eh says "Faith is equally and compatibly true with good works."

vs

Bible says " faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead."

Hmm.

Paul is contradicting James, and eh is saying they aren't contradictory. Google hasn't helped you much eh on this one.

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

No smoke, no mirrors. Your belief that the parable is literal is the one that needs to be justified - just like you need to justify the bashing of babies, talking donkeys and talking ants. The verses are clearly a parable - unless you really think that Moses and Khidr scuppered a ship, mended a wall...

shafique

Killing of children by Christians is not a parable either - but why state the obvious? Brievik was a Christian and as much as a criminal as any Muslim who commits murder, for example. Baruch Goldstein was a Jewish American doctor who killed worshippers in cold blood BECAUSE of his religious views. B...

What Christian kills his own children? any links Here's an honour killing by a Christian family (killed their Christian daughter): http://secularoutpost.infidels.org/2010/12/another-honor-killing.html Here's another one of Christians killing their sister (and her husband and child): http://www.loon...

"faith without works is dead" is hard to misunderstand.

Blaming me won't help clear up the contradiction - it just shows you can't explain the contradiction.

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

Mahmoud - you are completely correct. However note that my quotes from the Bible are completely accurate and not in dispute. In the OP you'll see that I admitted making a mistake when I mentioned (without quoting a verse) that 'Jesus said 'faith without works is dead' rather than saying 'the Bible s...

shafique

gertrude - are you happy with the references? eh - hey, if you want to believe in talking donkeys, talking ants, the sun stopping in the sky etc as literally true, then I guess it is no surprise you wish to believe the parable of Moses and Kidr to be literally true. I have explained why it is a para...

shafique

Loonwatch has covered the story too.. and here are a couple of comments to the story: Since we’re telling the truth, how about a coloring book called: 1492 the horror begins. Then it can go through all the atrocities starting with columbus that the invading european invaders commited. Now that would...

shafique

LOL - still in denial eh. Where does Luke quote Jesus saying it is a parable (he doesn't, but it is clearly a parable - just like the Quranic account of Moses and Khidr)? Let me repeat: What is curious is why you are insisting rational Muslims follow your irrational belief? Is it because you can't e...

shafique

So eh, are you condemning the colouring book like you condemned the allegations of Palestinian children indoctrination? Try and be consistent.

Or are you just trying your old trick of smoke and mirrors again?

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

Fail. Your whataboutery argument is so weak - you're spinning my one statement 'Jesus said..' as a major error, when I just mentioned this in passing in the middle of a post. Note that you tried to hide this fact by not actually linking to the whole post (i.e. the usual loon tactic of selectively po...

shafique

It is interesting how you insist your irrational beliefs are facts. I understand your frustration - you believe in talking donkeys and the sun stopping in the sky, I don't. You want to believe the parable of Moses and Khidr is a historic fact, but it is clearly a parable in the same way the Good Sam...

shafique

What's the matter gertrude - embarrassed that I provided examples and links of Christian honour killings? You asked the question, I answered. ;) Facts only sound like propaganda to those who insist on believing things that aren't true or who have irrational beliefs (such as the talking donkey belief...

shafique

Now, what is it I usually say about loons and facts?

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

Thanks for proving my point.

I do sometimes enjoy your leaps of fancy. However, for sheer imagination, you can't beat eh's beliefs of talking donkeys!

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

More ad hominem attacks! :Roll:

That's what +I+ call passive aggressive.

I'll stick to facts - and if that continues to annoy you, so be it.

Now, where is your 'talking donkey - believing' chum?

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

Well, we're now on to Dr Who references!

Whatever next - Shrek? (Sorry, already been done)

Cheers,

shafique

Well, it appeared that you asked about Christian's killing their kids as if you expected there were none and that it is Muslims who are killing their children. The fact that it is not a religously based crime is easy to see when you realise that Christians, Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims all carry out th...

shafique

Provide the links, young man, and then we'll see whether your recollection is true about how many times and in what context I mentioned 'Jesus said..' in relation to 'faith without works is dead'. In terms of Islam - which particular verse(s) of the Quran led you to your interpretation of who God wi...

shafique

^Fail. If I look up Luke 10 in my King James Bible - it does not contain the word Parable. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+10&version=KJV Other translations label the verses 25 onwards as the Parable of the Good Samaritan - but this isn't actually in the text. Ergo, my question ...

shafique

Fail. Again. You didn't provide any links to the original posts where I referred to 'faith without works is dead'. As for the Quranic quotes - again, you are overlooking the clear commandments of God and putting a spin on snippets. Faith and works are required for salvation according to Islam, prett...

shafique

See my edit above, I also found the thread - makes very good reading. Interesting that you had to go back to Feb 2008 for the two quotes from 7 pages of discussions. (Good luck persuading anyone that the long theological discussion of that thread is a sign that I haven't actually read the Bible!) Ok...
