A Comparison

[unit]

hmm.. hard-liner.. (reading that, somebody might suggest YOU are an extremist?) :conf06:

I don’t admit that the Pope was -stirring at all.

oh yeh.. forgot.. he's infallible ;)

Let’s be honest, Moslems hold their belief system to be impervious to criticism.

let's be honest - do you speak for EVERY muslim?

Why are Moslems so reactionary and why so defensive?. It’s absolutely astonishing that Moslems view any critique, any hard questions, any criticism at all of Islam as “attacking Muslims”.

(we covered hate-mongering in previous post, didn't we?) what's with the rehash? (just politely?)

Here in the West, one can find any number of books, film or media which criticizes Republican politics, Christianity, leftist media, modern art, magic crystal ball healing power...you name it,

ahh.. the illusion of freedom (expects harsh reply) ..and it's REALLY easy to get such works published by mainstream isn't it?

we are free to shine the bright, glaring light of criticism upon it. And I've got to say, I can't remember anyone in the U.S. being killed over this.

can't remember or have no knowledge..? (will you call it conspiracy theories?)

We like the knowledge that we can disagree with one another, express that disagreement (in a lawful, non-threatening way), and be done with it.

i'm sure people like martin luther king, malcom x and president kennedy would agree with you?

Clearly, people can understandably become upset at some cast dispersion when beliefs they hold dear are ridiculed or impugned, but here in the U.S. at least, the majority of us take it with nary a flinch.

heh.. 2 for flinching ;)

I don’t claim that all Moslems subscribe to the hateful rhetoric coming from many of their spiritual leaders but silence to this suggests tacit endorsement. We hear of the tiny minority of violent extremists™ but you know what, It’s not so tiny.

can't really find anything constructive to say to this..? you seem to have made your mind up on this?

let's suppose the vatican had an agenda for the world.. so what..?

I'm not following this.

i didnt think you would.. this is what you said >> Let’s suppose the Pope did have an agenda for using the descriptions he used, so what?


(get the sarcasm now?)

Ask the Pope, Theo Van Gogh, Salman Rushdie, Hirsi Ali Sina… the list goes on. Hey – I’ve only got a 60 gig hard drive

only 60 gig to cram with? might need a second HD at the rate you're going..?

That depends on which particular god(s).

let's keep this relevant, and agree we are talking MONO-heism (since we're here at a monotheistic site, debating related subject matter..?

can i get a large fries too?

= can i have those same basic rights you desire for yourself?
amazing! we agreed on salmon rushdie :)

The truth will set you free.

ouch = i think that was a little 'blunt' (and muslim ppl might be offended?) /shrugs (not important)

Hence the ban or restrictions on competing religious faiths in most of the Islamic world.

<_< so you think non-muslim religions in democratic paradise western countries are incapable of doing the same thing, and resorting to underhanded methods.. hmm.. at least the vocal muslims SAY what they think in regards to this, not like those wolves in sheep clothing who hide behind love and a pulpit and say these things in closed elite circles..


ugh! >NOT< looking foreward to what happens next..

Iran is acquiring the means to wage nuclear jihad and to usher in the endtimes. I’m not looking forward to that.

yeh yeh the 12th imam or whatever.. and the fundamentalists back home aren't going hell for leather trying to bring it about in the mid east?


bush: "we fight them over there in order to avoid the fight over here"
