Thanks religion.

Sure. Because religion is the cause of all our social-ills. Clown post.

I could just as easily allege you have quite a few things in common with these terrorists...you breathe the same air they breathe, you eat and drink like they do, you have probably shot a gun before like them, etc

---

Sure, and I'd guess you have those very same things in common, with one critical addition.

quote:

---

you imply that massacres like this are a result of religion existing.

---

I stated plainly, twice I believe, that these attacks are driven by their religion.

And when an atheist kills somebody....is that a condemnation for all atheists?

When a human kills another human to please his God.. then yeah it's a condemnation for religion. At least afainst Avrahamic religions or other religions with a violent deity

One of the Coptic Christians must have made a video.

Sure, but even if I wrote out 50k words, I wouldn't change a single mind here. Men much more intelligent than me have tried.

The Saudis are the creators of this Frankenstein and should be treated as an accomplice in all of the Sunni Wahhabi terrorists activities. More precisely, the House of Saud has used its wealth to spread this cancer. At some point, we have to be honest about this fact.

I'm looking for the part that says we know this is a rule of law directly from the mouth of god.

God promises in the Quran, “We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We will assuredly Guard it (from corruption)” (15:9).

Sharia law is a legal system and social construct for society. It has clearly defined rules. Islam is unique in that it combines religion and politics. This is a unique challenge when hoping for secularization of a religion.

Faith is often expressed through the observance of the law. The failure to follow Islamic law is a reflection of the believer’s lack of faith and unwillingness to submit to God. Salvation is impossible without law. This has implications for the nature of the Islamic state.

One could go further and advocate not only for a progressive interpretation of Islamic law but also for its basic irrelevance to public life—that the separation of religion from politics forms the foundation of any pluralistic post-Enlightenment liberal society. The heavy weight of Islamic history, however, makes such a path as dif?cult as it is unlikely.

I'm also not sure why you continue to push that bull shite line about "US policy" when I picked your arse apart in the other thread.

Do you want to revisit your posts from the previous thread? Maybe you need a reminder:

What we got going on in here?

quote:
I don't really know anything about you (alter), but you're a few steps behind here. Just trying to help you out.

quote:
Simple is my jam.

quote:
Makes me miss NT.

quote:
Yeah, I think he did. I saw his last few posts. I didn't see anything that called for it, but I suppose that's not meaningful with him at this point anyway.

quote:
Jesus, dude. At least make it sporting.
quote:
Yes. I recommend Oxford if you're confused. Ask questions as necessary.

quote:
Mostly for the laughs. We have that in common.

quote:
What questions have you asked me that you feel I haven't sufficiently addressed?

quote:
I already answered that.Neither have you. Either way, looks like this thread dried up. Enjoy your night.

quote:
Likely because that's exactly what you did.So? There are "factions" within this country that hate them for various reasons. That is a relatively meaningless point. This is an intellectually weak thing to say, and it's apparent you have zero experience with the people. Have you ever even met a Muslim person? That's a serious question. Yeah, maybe one day the dude with maybe the most experience working with the people we are discussing will "get it." Well, I could say the same with any number of religions. You cool with that?

quote:
Here you go. You're welcome.

quote:
Also, it's interesting that you posted what you did instead of replying to anything else that I said. Very interesting...alter.

quote:
Correct. There's no need when you properly frame your point. You didn't do that initially. Now you have. It's cool to admit you were wrong.

quote:
Which is wrong. That wasn't the question in the OP. For reference, this was the question in the OP:

quote:
Your understanding of this topic is incomplete, at best. You don't understand the people, you don't understand their religion, you don't understand their motivations. Hell, you don't even understand the link you posted that kicked this bull shite tangent off. I'll ask again: Have you ever met a single Muslim?
quote:
Then you should have just said you were wrong from the start instead of digging in. I have black friends and have heard a Kanye song. Well, yes, it does mean that. Is that what you think you provided? This alone shows that you don't know shite.

Also, what made you snip off a significant portion of my posts?
