This killing of Christians and Jews doesn't make sense to me.
Granted, I didn't make it through the Koran 'cause I sort of...got bored, but while I was reading it all I saw was them being "People of the Book" and friends and such. I don't know. I'm going to go find a Koran, translated by an athiest or someone who is neither Christian or Jewish, and then read it. Just to be sure.
well, VESH asked right question.Quote:

I read some Koran (although I do not claim to be an expert in this question as DDT), I read some about history of that time, and that time muslims really considered Christians and Jews as brothers, because they are "people of the Book" and they believe in one God. Unfortunately it changed later all, starting with Crusades or something else, I am not sure.Quote:

Since he could not get the Jews and Christians to side with him he decided that they should be killed. In this fashion he converted Arabs accross the lands. Arabs at that time worshiped spirits who lived in inanimate objects such as rocks and also in that big black box in Mecca. One of the spirits that they worshipped there was a Moon god called, Allah.Quote:

DDT, attempt № 10. Sources???
And who was the men who wrote Koran?
Just a name would be enough.
Mohammed wrote the Koran or more likely his scribes since he was illiterate over a period of 23 years. Of course Muslims claim that Allah wrote it.
As far as sources, they are everywhere. You can easily find them if you want to understand. Here is one to get you started. There are so many on this subject I don’t have time to find them all.

How many ways is that that people have used religion to @@@@ the world?
It is "pride" that @@@@'s the world. Religion is just the excuse.
Nah, "pride" is not the key. It is ignorance! Bliss my a$$!

Hi every body
I'm from a Muslim country . 99% of my people are Muslim mostly shiah.
I'm not religious.
DDT , you have good information about Islam and history of Islam , but I assure you there are only a few Muslims who know that things about Islam and Mohammad , because if they know those things they won't be Muslim anymore and they will change their religion (like me).
So the Muslims (especially non Arabic language Muslims , like Iranians , Turks and ...) think there are only good things in Koran . In every house in Iran you can find Koran but I'm sure bellow than 1% of Iranian have read the whole Koran , and those who's read because they have a good view about Koran when they read they only get good things . I don't think nobody after reading Koran had been so angry to go to kill Americans. If Muslims only want to kill Christians why don't they kill Armenians or Greeks , they are very near to Muslim's world . Why Muslims go to USA or England to kill Christians .
I think all these terrorist attacks and war against terrorist is a political play .
Why Muslims weren't terrorist 30 years ago , even 10 years ago , Koran was written 1400 years ago , but why Muslims became terrorist only 5 years ago? ( I don't deny religious wars during these 1400 years , Iran was the first victim of this kind of war in 1400 years ago , but they were wars not terrorist attacks) .
Why Muslims became terrorist only after there wasn't USSR anymore ? because USA needed another enemy . Now American soldiers are in every where in the whole Middle east (except Iran) . They're looking for Ben-ladan , Al-zarghawi and.... but they don't find them .Do you know what's the best way to don't find somebody? it's to know where he is , then you can easily don't search there . USA needs Ben-laden , USA needs Al-zarghawi , USA needs terrorist attacks and USA needs Muslims terrorists .
I admit those terrorists who hijacked on 11sep or who blow up themselves to kill people are true Muslims . I admit Islam has serious problems but as I told before I think all of these attacks and wars are only a political play. Those terrorists are only Marionette.
A twist in the discussion. So, does many of us believe in such a conspiracy? I admit some people playing but playing so open?
:wall: PLEASE NO CONSPIRACY THEORIES!!! :(
This is no conspiracy theory, this is the most obvious answer to the question "Cui prodest?". And the most frightening thing here is that it may indeed be true. At least it's got a potential. But on the other hand, what does it change for us? Bugger all.Quote:

Yep, I agree. "Conspiracy theories"...nope.Quote:

While you are there click on “Palestinean TV Sermon”
I can also post a list of some of the major Muslin terror attacks that started about 50 years ago up until now. You seem to have forgotten all the hijackings across the globe and hostage taking and assassinations. As a matter of fact, didn’t the word “assassin” come into to English language through an Islamic people called Assassins? This list has countless attacks on countries other than America and Israel. It would take up quite a few pages on our forum if I were to post it, though. It seems that the last wave of terror attacks from WWII on, are in response to the formation of Israel.
In Syria, in 1947 anti-Jewish pogroms caused almost 10,000 Jews to flee in terror. In Iraq, 'Zionism' became a capital crime. Bombs in the Jewish quarter of Cairo killed more than 70 Jews. After the French left Algeria, the new Islamic leadership issued a torrent of anti-Jewish decrees, prompting nearly all of the 160,000 Jews to flee the country. When the United Nations General Assembly passed the resolution on the Partition Plan, Muslim rioters launched pogroms in Aden and Yemen killing 82 Jews.
This is for anyone who thinks that only the West has been targeted by terror. Or that it is a recent problem. http://voi.org/books/siii/ch6.htm

DDT,
Your opinion...do all Muslims, everywhere, follow this idealogy...or are there differing factions, differing viewpoints and interpretations. Similar to Christians?
Sorrow to break it down into simplistic views, but I'm getting the sense that you're lumping Muslims into one big group, with the same ideology.
Dangerous waters...
"Those who are not with us are against us" - that is a simple aproach many people like that use. After 9/11 there were cases when singhs were beaten, because they look like muslims.
Islam got a lot of different branches, as christianity. Johova witnesses, mormons are Christians as well, right? Look at this from position of uneducated muslim. I do not see any difference with DDT for this case.

Does it help some humans to be "categorized and grouped"? Maybe, but not me. I don't think things operate that way. That's part of my faith. So, I disagree with DDT to categorize and group other faiths, and beliefs (or non-beliefs).
Yep, I know...I'm setting myself up for another Goya firing squad. :wink:
The problems is in Generalization. "All Blacks are lazy", "All muslims are evil", "All Jews are greedy", I can write a long list.Quote:

WorldNetDaily looks like a great place to get your news, by the way. I particularly like the ad on one of the pages: 'The amazing true story of miracles surrounding Mel Gibson's movie' :lol: Gives you a pretty clear idea of the kind of people who visit this site.
My point, exactly! "All Muslims are this...", "All Christians are this...", "All Americans are this...", "All Russians are this..."Quote:

I couldn't agree with you more Dobry. You're restoring my faith in people who have faith :DQuote:

See, guys like Cyphyr want to apologise for Islam. One can only wonder if they have any historical knowlege at all when they equate Christianity to Islam. The "both religions are as bad as each other routine" doesn't cut it since Jesus, the founder of Christianity did not routinely do and say the savage things Mohammed did. Here is a little slice of Mohammad's history for you. Pay attention Pioner because these two have to do with "rape".
Massacre, Rape and Plunder of Banu-L-Mustaliq
Date: December 626 A.D.
Place: The well of Muraysi near Red Sea
Victims: The Tribe of Banu-L-Mustaliq
Mohammed attacked the Banu-L-Mustaliq because of their wealth. In a surprise raid, the Muslims drove them to the Sea. They slaughtered many members of the Banu-N-Mustaliq Tribe and looted away a booty of 2000 Camels, 5000 Sheep and 500 Women! 500 women were captured screaming and crying after they had watched their husbands and sons being slaughtered. The most beautiful captive was Juwayriyya, daughter of the chief of the Banu-L-Mustaliq. Mohammed snatched her to satisfy his own animal lust. The captured women were supposed to be returned by the Muslims upon payment of a ransom. But the night after the battle itself, Mohammed and his army raped each and every one of them. One of the men Abu Sa'id Khudri of Mohammed's army reported :
"We were lusting after women and chastity had become too hard for us, but we wanted to get the ransom money for our prisoners. So we wanted to use the "Azl" (Coitus Interruptus- where the man withdraws before ejaculating)...We asked the Prophet about it and he said: "You are not under any obligation to stop yourselves from doing it like that.." Later on the women and children were given for ransom to their envoys. They all went away to their country and not One wanted to stay although they had the choice.."
So the Great Prophet of Peace told his men it was perfectly FINE to rape women as long as you didn't ejaculate inside them (which made them pregnant). What supreme logic! Any human being with the slightest shred of morality has to be nauseated by this Man and the religion he preached. Mohammed, the supreme religious figurehead of Islam sanctions RAPE, pure and simple. Not only did the Muslims commit this horrifying crime, they decieved the Tribesmen into paying Ransom for their womenfolk, who only paid the money in a desperate attempt to save their women's honor. To call such a Prophet and his followers the epitome of Evil is probably an understatement.
Massacre of the Banu -Qurayza
Date: April-May 627 A.D.
Place: Medinah
Victims: The Last Jewish Tribe left in Medinah The Banu-Qurayza.
By this time, Mohammed had murdered or driven out all of the Jewish Tribes of Medinah, except the Banu Qurayza. It was time to eliminate this last thorn in his flesh. The Banu Qurayza had been reluctant in helping Mohammed against the Quraysh. Conveniently once again, Mohammed claimed that he had divine knowledge about a conspiracy by the Banu-Qurayza to kill him. He beseiged their fortress for Twenty-Five days. When the starving Tribe surrendered, Mohammed forced an old man from their own Tribe to pronounce Mohammed's sentence. The sentence was death to every male member of the Tribe, Slavery for every woman and child and Plunder of all their property.
The Prophet had an immense trench dug around the main market of Medinah. The men of the Banu Qurayza were rounded up & their hands twisted tightly behind them. Then one by one, they were shoved to the edge of the trench and forced to kneel. They were offered a last chance to convert to "The True Faith" and if they refused, had their heads chopped off. As soon as one head would roll off, the corpse would be kicked into the ditch, and so it went. By the time Dawn had colored the sky red in Medinah, hundreds of corpses piled up in a heap in a tangled cesspool of blood, hair and shreds of flesh. Despite the horrific end in front of their eyes, none of the Jews chose to convert to Islam and faced death valiantly. The blood of 900 innocent Jews stained Mohammed's hands on that black day.
Their only crime was that they chose to retain their fundamental human right, of choosing their own God and the religion of their ancestors. Hysterical women & children screamed as they watched their fathers, husbands & sons die. The majority of them were raped savagely and then bundled off to be sold as "used goods". The Prophet had the husband of the Jewess Raihana Bint Amr hacked to pieces before her very eyes, hours after he had murdered her father. No doubt this was the Prophet's perverted version of a wedding present, because after these atrocities he raped the mortified girl and tried to force her to convert to Islam.
Muslim historians still describe the savage rape of Raihana Bint Amr as her "willing submission to Islam and wifehood to the Prophet"
Apparently according to them it is very natural to imagine that a woman who has just seen her husband, father, brothers and Tribe slaughtered violently before her very eyes, would CHOOSE to convert to the religion of the murderer and marry him! In actual fact Raihana REFUSED to convert to Islam and also refused to marry Mohammed the murderer of her family. He kept her as a lowly concubine all his life. So much for the "Apostle of Peace" and his unbounded RESPECT for women. Mohammed was nothing but a serial rapist, who acquired his victims by killing their families first.
Allah as usual has provided yet another timeless Divine revelation which gives his Prophet the Right to rape and torture women of other religions.
Koran 4:24
"And all married women are forbidden unto you EXCEPT those captives whom your right hand possesses. It is a decree of Allah for you. Lawful unto you are all beyond those mentioned, so that you seek them with your wealth in honest wedlock, not debauchery..."
In short Allah the All Merciful is saying "Hey Muslims, it's a crime to go after married women, but IF they happen to be your captives (which obviously all the non-Muslim women were) feel free to indulge yourself in rape and sexual torture of them. "lawful unto you are all beyond those mentioned" Allah is making it LEGAL for Muslims to go ahead and rape Non-Muslim women by Divine Law!
One shudders to imagine what kind of minds invented such utterly sadistic and disgusting ideas.
Mohammed justified all his crimes against the Jews with more of Allah's revelations. Although the following Surahs were not revealed at the same time as the Massacre of Banu Quraizyah, they nevertheless give a general idea of the Prophet's views on Jews and why it is perfectly fine to kill, loot and rape them.
Now, everybody! This is the example that the founder of Islam set. How can you expect the poor people under the influence of what should be described as a "cult" act any other way than to set off bombs in London subways? Come now, this is not the normal response to political grievances.
:o OH GOD. I can't believe I am saying this. At least THEIR freakshow isn't prostelyzing spilling their nasty ass seed INSIDE the woman, YO?

I suspect DDT gets his info on Islam from the Big Bigoted Christian Book of Why All Other Religions are Bad.

It also states that the US received Muslim support in the campaign against the pirates.
"In calling on Muslims for support, Eaton, as a U.S. naval agent and the operation's leader, denounced "cruel and savage" despots who oppressed their own people -- and defiled the true teachings of Islam (Eaton had studied the Koran):
Our religion teaches us to fear and worship God and to be kind to all his creatures . . . Be assured that the God of the Americans and of the Mohometans [Muslims] is the same; the one true and omnipotent God."
The first site you linked to stated that the pirates motivation was "strictly religious". This is what I found so funny, that there were retards out there who would try to present the Barbary pirates as jihadi religious fighters akin to the modern al-Qaeda movement. And you chose it because it was written by an Arab? Yeah right, you chose it because it suited your prejudices so well. The fact that it was written by an Arab doesn't mean anything, only that you can find an Arab idiot if you want. Unfortuately, idiocy affects all peoples of the world!

That's not to say it's the only religion I hate, but it's the religion with the largest, most depressing grip on the place I live.
Now, I'm flipping running for my life before my head is torn off for not being all about Jesus, or Mohammud (SP) and Moses for that matter.

http://www.ffrf.org/nontracts/jesus.php
I used to really despise religion and think that all the world's problems would be solved if it just withered away. Now, I think that's a bit simplistic and may in fact have negative consequences. There are many different varieties of religion and one that is moderate, tolerant of other viewpoints and at ease with science and modernity should not harm anyone. I remember seeing a lady on television who said she didn't believe her prayers could influence events in the physical world but believed that through them God gave her the insight and strength to deal with her problems. I thought 'Wow! now that's the kind of religion I can deal with' Unfortunately, you don't seem to see many of those people. I see loads of people who think they can change the weather on particular days or get miracle cures if they visit certain places or say certain prayers.Quote:

Science in it's assumed accurate perfection can fit perfectly well in a creation theory pinned on a Christian or Judeo (or the other way around-or how ever that works) God.
The world came into formation how ever many billions of years ago...ok..
A GOD flipped the switch.... ok
CREATION!
ok...groovy :lol:
So what's with your GOD and my GOD and their GOD-- GOD=GOD
I don't see GOD jumping in with how he or she or it wants to be worshipped. Or even if she or he or it does.
Well the bible...well the Quran...
I see GOD saying... KIDS. shoo shoo go play..
And I see HUMANS making a big ol rediculous fuss of this.
