Fed up with Islam Yet??? YUP!!!
After going a few rounds with MHz, and his Koran thumping.. I want to buy a nuke and drop it in the middle of Makkah Saudi Arabia during Ramadan. Damit.
That guy to turn the Pope into Satan.

I missed that. It never occurred to me that the country might be Iraq and not Iran - and I actually read the article. That certainly is a lesson for me in preconceptions. I will try to read more carefully in the future.
A list of people who believe something to be true has nothing to do with whether it's really true or not. Newton was a wacko in a lot of ways, a singularly unpleasant personality, from all reports, who invested a great deal of energy in looking for alchemy's Philosopher's Stone. He's really the bridge between mediaeval magical thinking and modern scientific thinking, he had a foot in both worlds. It's not correct to call Einstein a deist, a pantheist in the style of Spinoza is the best you can get from him and even that's a stretch. Even granting deism, it's a long way from there to the personal deity of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. In fact you can't get from the former to the latter on the evidence, even Aquinas gave up on that argument.
And to answer the question in the thread title, which I don't think I've done yet, no, I am not fed up with Islam. I once worked for a Muslim, a Pakistani originally, deeply religious, and he was among the most sane, civilized, peaceable, and cultured of men. We had many long conversations about religious matters, and while we each believed the other to be fundamentally wrong, there was mutual respect and courtesy. That man will forever be the face of Islam to me. Two of my best friends are Lutheran ministers, a married couple, and again there is fundamental disagreement and many long conversations, with mutual respect and courtesy. That's the way it ought to be.

I think if you take any group as an example, religious, political, sports and this forum, you will find the full gamut of personalities from radical to moderate. It is kind of silly to pigeon hole any group. People should be taken as individuals, not by what they believe. I don't think Islam is any different from any other religion. I think they seem to have more wackos but that is probably because the media has been obsessed by them to the exclusion of others.
Right - and that thread is just as intolerable as this one.
If it comes to something of a religious context, we need to stop it with the myspace headlines.
Omg we both rated a crappy post as crappy. We must both be extreeeeeeeme islamists or something.
Geez, no wonder these threads are dumb as nails.
Like I said - you and Bear make it easy for me to point out the obvious attacks.
Now move along and continue with Islam.
Why don't you "move along" and find some more C/P's to post and show how much of an ideologue you are....
DaSleeper is impressive in the fact he's successfully has trolled these forums for years and still remains a member.
