Ahhh....I guess the rays of enlightenment I cast through the fog of your ignorance are wasted..........the fog is so thick the light of truth merely served to stun you, leaving numbed that organ you so loosely call a mind........

I imagine you found grade three math "mind-numbing".

So would anyone if they spent 6 years doing it. He was shaving in the last year.

You know, not ONE of the apologists on here has tackled the question........which is very pertinent to the original OP.

My hypothesis is that Islam is both a religious and a political philosophy that smacks of fascism, and in fact is comparable to the most vicious form of fascism known as Naziism, combining genocidal Jew hatred with the demand for total submission to the philosophy, added to the belief and desire for world domination.

Why do you refuse to tackle the Question???

Could it be the answer is obvious?.....and does not fit with you comfy set of apologist delusions????

So are you saying there is something inherently wrong with the muslim religion?

Not at all......

There are Muslims that are quite moderate....in fact, the Toronto terrorists were exposed by a Muslim.

The worrying thing is that he was subsequently ostracised in the wider Muslim community. If THAT doesn't tell you something, you ain't listening.

There are moderate Muslims, there is NOT a moderate Islam.

Colpy lumps all Muslims together, moderates with extremists, shiites with shias.... he incredibly ignores the sheer diversity of over one billion people...

A Muslim, (Arabic: مسلم‎) also spelled Moslem,[1] is an adherent of Islam, a monotheistic, Abrahamic religion based on the Quran, which Muslims consider the verbatim word of God as revealed to prophet Muhammad. "Muslim" is the Arabic term for "one who submits to God".

Muslim - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


You cannot intrinsically condemn the general tenets of an entire religion without admitting that you also condemn all of the members of that religion. It's not logically consistent.

Schindler was a Nazi.

I would not condemn him.

Adultery is referred to as one of the worst sins shall we say - Stoning to death - stones must be a certain size so as to not inflict a quick death, but a slow drawn out painful one. Can you condemn that? Yet not all Muslims believe in stoning -

Blood money - A person kills another - A payment can be made to the family of the deceased - If they accept it, then there is no other penalty such as beheading. Can you condemn that?

Look..

If one of the fundamental characteristics of a religion is evil, and you believe adhere to that religion, then you are fundamentally evil. But moderate muslims are also fundamentalists, they're just not extremists.

Why?

Because evil is not a fundamental characteristic of the islamic religion. Its a contortion or a perversion of the religion by extremists.

If evil was a fundamental characteristic, then everyone of us could say without guilt, that all muslims are evil. And if Colpy can prove to me that a fundamental characteristic of being muslim is "to be evil", then I will concede the point, but also bear in mind that I would have to accept that all members of that religion are evil.

If you want to make a point about me, please quote me. Otherwise your opinion means diddly. Mostly your modus operandi consists of smearing people with crap in the hope that some might stick. If you believe this then please back it up. I've never made a negative comment about any group of people... including Jews if that's your **** smearing insinuation. If you think otherwise, then quote me.
How many times have you demanded I do this?

5 times.

How many times have I complied?

4 times.

How many times have you acknowledge the hard work and fact you were confronted with?

Never.

I think most regulars here know your game CB.
Yep, pointing out hypocrites like you. BTW: Most regulars here know your game, demonize Israel, while pretending to be about peace.

There are moderate Muslims, there is NOT a moderate Islam.
True.

Yes you can. I don't agree with everything the bibles says, but I like most of the Christians on this site and some I've met in r/l. Equally, I disagree with parts of the Quran, and yet like most of the Muslims I've met.

It isn't Colpy and I that generalize Muslims, or Christians.

For sure.
