muso,

Do you mean keep out as in you don't refute them? It's a waste of my time doing it, and I'm a Muslim, so likewise I'm sure you'd probably not want to waste your time refuting them.

Quote:


Generally speaking most Muslims are just ordinary everyday people. However when their countries are invaded, and their apartments bombed into dust, sometimes they get a little angry, true. And as we  can see in Africa, so too do Christians sometimes. People  in exceptional circumstances often do exceptional things.

Quote:


Most everyday Muslims don't really interpret the Qur'an at all. Most take the interpretations of qualified scholars of Islamic jurisprudence. There are obviously differences in Islamic jurisprudence, and of course different peoples often adhere to rulings to varying degrees as well. But this is not necessarily according to local custom. It may be in some cases, but often you can have very practising people living right next door to people who are not so practising.

Agreed.

It certainly was. But it seemed to go over quite a lot of heads, thankfully not all

Quote:


If your statement said Israeli children I'd agree with you. However, trying to equate the situation of Palestinian civilians and Israeli civilians is not quite the same. Palestinians didn't goto Lithuania, Poland, Ukraine, USA etc. and start booting Jews out of their homes, or start committing violence against them. Jews on the other hand did come to the Palestinians and do that. The caged prisoner stuck inside the Gaza strip, is not equivalent to the Israeli sitting outside the fence, most likely in that persons former family home/land.

this whole issue of public condemnation is an interesting one and comes up all the time

if you do just a basic google search on muslims condemning certain actions of other muslims you'lll find so much. particularly on things that actually gain worldwide attentoin, like terrorist bombings etc

why is it, despite these things, you feel that there still is no condemnation?

gaybriel - i rarely see condemnation by islamic clerics for terrorist actions.
I rarely see islamic clerics telling muslims to live according to the laws of whatever country they are in.

I see islamic clerics giving veiled support for the establishment of sharia law all over the globe.

I see apologetics and gutless leftards saying zippo.
I see europe and england being shafted by muslims.

I'm afraid Gaybriel most of us are looking for it all the time.

Yet it is a rare occurance and usually only happens after something has been uncovered.

hahaha- I am a westerner sprint

you've completely missed the point

not to mention I have posted such things up

but again- you miss the point even if I hadnt
