Obviously I can't stop Muslims bringing up other extremists to justify their own position


Since you failed to conclusively show that Muslims have a bad position on this, Muslims are not bringing it up to justify anything.

I don't support murdering civilians, I find it grossly detestable, and that's why I can't fathom how you could allow people to openly celebrate it on your forum, whilst from the other side of your mouth demanding Muslims 'rein in their extremists' or accusing us of supporting terrorism, it's just laughable.

If a Muslim came into this Islamic forum, and said they're jubilant that civilians had been murdered, they'd be banned, simple. Yet here you are calling into question the resolve of Muslims to oppose such despicable positions, when you yourself are quite happy to leave it to flourish and fester under your own watch....

I would say that most muslims dont believe the best way to go about their agenda is killing "innocent" people. but on the same note most muslims imo would find it hard to condemn people who are fighting the "right" enemy just not in the most desirable way.

Yes that's the problem pender. They fail to stop the evil.

Since you failed to conclusively show that Muslims have a bad position on this, Muslims are not bringing it up to justify anything

Well I think your position is pretty bad. Obviously you don't.

I don't support murdering civilians, I find it grossly detestable, and that's why I can't fathom how you could allow people to openly celebrate it on your forum

It wasn't murder. It was accidental. I allow it because I believe in freedom of speech. You say you don't support it, but you also say you don't oppose it, and you don't expect other Muslims to lift a finger to oppose it. Does this make you indifferent? Does it make you a hypocrit, given that you also claim that 'opposition of the heart' only is pretty pissweak, and that opposition with the hand must come first.

whilst from the other side of your mouth demanding Muslims 'rein in their extremists' or accusing us of supporting terrorism, it's just laughable.

The moment he is suspected of doing or plotting real harm, he would be reigned in. We draw a clear line in the sand, and we enforce it. We don't draw an ambiguous line and turn a blind eye when 'our fellows' step over it.

If a Muslim came into this Islamic forum, and said they're jubilant that civilians had been murdered, they'd be banned, simple.

No they wouldn't. In fact it would be refreshing to find a Muslim who was honest about his feelings.

Yet here you are calling into question the resolve of Muslims to oppose such despicable positions

Calling it into question? Have you changed your mind now? Before you openly admitted there was no such resolve - only lip service. In fact you appear to place for more importance on what people say than what they do.

YOu are a liar FD...you don't believe in free speech. You use it as a tool to insult and abuse others, as I've said previously, the charade is over.

You hide behind freedom of speech to allow for the abuse and insult of muslims...yet when I abuse others in response...you play the free speech card.

For you free speech isn't a right...it is a shield to hide behind. You already have admitted as much.

When I challenged you in regards to holocaust denial and anti-Jewish material....you defended this, yet you have since a number of times stated that religon is fair game....despite the numerous posts where people claim ....muslims are this, etc, etc.

As for your claim that you don't turn a blind eye....you  are seriously deluded if you think so. That is exactly what you do, as helian has already noted.

Your hypocricy is staggering....you demand of others what you fail to do yourself, and your so blinded by bigotry that you cannot even see it.

So you claim to know what I believe better than I do?

I am not hiding anything. I am openly admitting what my values are and what the rules are. I am not deflecting questions about the rules with complaints about the unrelated behaviour of total strangers.

yet when I abuse others in response...you play the free speech card.

I think you got yourself a bit mixed up there. If you are complaining about the rules, I have made them very clear. you seem to confuse your rejection of the rules with a double standard in how they are enforced.

This deflection game is getting more and more absurd. Basically I can't get a straight answer from Muslims about terrorism because they insist on whinging about people being mean instead.

Perhaps you would like to compile a list of demands that would have to be met before you would consider it reasonable to expect Muslims to reign in extremists? Maybe if the whole world stopped saying they don't like Islam the Muslims would stop killing people?

lol...really this response of yours describes you to a 'T'. Smokes and mirrors, and nothing substantial. Ironic that you have the nerve to talk about deflection..when all that you do is deflect.

No, a list is not required...as I have stated clearly earlier, I am no longer going to answer any of your questions because quite frankly your not worth the time or effort.

Abu has answered your questions time and time again and do you listen...no, you do not.

As I said..the charade is over Freediver.....we're not going to play your childish games anymore.

It is not a deflection Grendel. I am trying to stear the thread back on topic.

Perhaps some other Muslims would like to compile a list of demands that would have to be met before they would consider it reasonable to expect Muslims to reign in extremists? Not just say 'ooh I don't like that' but actually put an end to it. Maybe if the whole world stopped saying they don't like Islam the Muslims would stop the terrorism?

I think I've figured it out - Abu thinks that reigning in of Muslim terrorists should be the last step in the peace process because when he says peace, he means Islam conquering the world and achieving that special 'Islamic peace'. Until then the terrorists are useful, but once Islam has conquered the world you need to reign them in because terrorism is wrong.

If you admit all state executions are murder, then you are quite right in using that term. Otherwise you need to recognise there's a difference between an execution by rule of law and vigilantist lynchings. Is incarceration the same as abduction? I don't think you'd suggest it is.



abu_rashid wrote on Sep 20th, 2008 at 1:09am:
Again, agreed 101%, any state sanction of vigilantism is despicable.


abu_rashid wrote on Jul 3rd, 2008 at 1:52pm:
Islam prohibits vigilantism, and we definitely do not condone attempting to clandestinely implement our law in a non-Islamic state.



Abu, if you can make a rational differentiation between vigilantes and government action in this context, why can't you make the same distinction for terrorists? Is it because terrorists are nominally furthering the cause of Islam?

Depends what you mean by terrorists. In all our discussions so far we've failed to agree on what terrorism actually is, and who's a terrorist. Many terrorists, in my opinion are actually employed by states..

I hope you are not referring to regular armies as terrorists again Abu. English has different words for different things for a reason. You cannot just change the meaning because it suits your argument to pretend there is no difference.

F/D - of course Abu can change meanings to suit himself. he has done it before.
he can also delete posts arbitrarily, support public stonings, move threads that don't suit him, deflect questions, support terrorists, ask rhetorical ones, threaten other posters and refuse to answer.


see, he's a superior deceiving arrogant muslim.
Changing meanings is EASY for him.

So by definition a regular army cannot be terrorists?

Please clear this up freediver, I'm interested to know your opinion on this, because even those world powers who sought to define terrorism, couldn't agree on the issue of regular armies.

Also don't forget that the soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan for instance are not just regular soldiers. There's intelligence officers as well as mercenaries... oops I mean 'contracted security'.

Oops,  afghanistan and pakistan are responsible for allowing the taliban extremists to flourish.

Now they have murdered Bhutto (is that terrorism?) and are moving into towns in Pakistan.
