Temo: Re: More proof that Obama lives in LaLa Land
Artful Dodger:
> Ayatollah Mohammad Taghi Mesbah, considered one of the Islamic Republic's most radical clerics, issued a religious edict on his website whereby suicide attacks are not only legitimate but are a must for every Muslim, a special paper by the Middle East Media Research Institute shows.
I prefer the way Christians do it. They elect a president, cast their vote to let the guy do whatever it is he wants. When the guy goes and bombs another country, Christians pretend it wasn't they who allowed it to happen. Then they pretend that it has nothing to do with their Christian values. Since the other guys are evil, it is ok to torture them and kill them anyway. Since they are evil, they asked for it. Torturing and killing is OK if it is politically and economically convenient. When somebody asks why a Christian would allow such a thing to happen, they simply say it has nothing to do with Christianity. Voting and religion have nothing to do with each other anyway. Christians sleep soundly at night knowing that their military killed 400,000 people to protect their Christian values. There is no conflict of conscience. Just go to church on Sunday, and you will be a good Christian in the eyes of God. God doesn't even care about geopolitics anyway.
Isn't that what you do when you condemn Islam with a blanket statement, or when you condemn the left with a blanket statement? The point I am trying to make is that you can't judge EVERYONE based on the actions of a few.
Artful Dodger: I'm sorry, but such a statement makes me think you have no idea of what you are talking about. Islamic followers are Muslim, as followers of Jesus are called Christians. It's to do with that Islam has depth that is lost in just one word, just as Christ has much depth in what it means... "the anointed one".. Greek, Messiah .. Hebrew, Logos.. Greek.
"And they are simply following the words of the Koran exactly."
Says who? Interpretation of Holy books is such a finicky thing. One person says A, another about the same passage can say AB.. that's why we have so many different Christian faiths. I remember you some time back condemning all other Christian views bar your own view as supporters of the Anti-Christ.. yet, you appear to have changed, as represented by your recent comments on LDS... At one time you considered all Mormons being in league with sAtAn.
"So-called moderates are either lying to the West or they aren't following the teachings of Mohammed."
If you don't know that followers of the Islamic faith are all Muslims.. ...
