Quote:Why do the extreme god bothering Christians hate other religion(s)
so much?
skippy,
I take it that [in your statement] you are referring to myself.
And i would state, that you are portraying an incorrect 'attribution' to me, skip.
But go your hardest.
skippy,
You are mistaken.
I am happy to allow others to choose, and to follow a religion, different from my own.
Whereas, the 'religion' of ISLAM [which i do condemn, and criticise] insists that [if i were to come under its influence] i must not worship any god except Allah, or that i must worship MY God, according to how ISLAM will allow me to do so,
....on pain of death.The Hadith....
"Allah 's Apostle said, " I have been ordered to fight with the people till they say, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah,' ...."

skippy,
Many ppl, including myself, regard ISLAM not as a religion, but as a
political
philosophy, which uses its 'religious' aspect, as a 'veil' to hide its true temporal, worldly,
political
nature.
Quote:Islamaphobia, alive and well in this forum,
Definition,
ISLAMOPHOBIA = = an
irrational
fear of ISLAM.
Ignorant, ignorant skippy,
What is irrational about fearing a [political] philosophy [ISLAM] which endorses, and encourages, in its adherents, the hatred of, and the murder of, non-members of that [political] philosophy?
Duh.
ISLAM is a political philosophy which uses lies, deception, and violence to seek to gain temporal, worldly, political power, over those men and women not yet under its influence.
ISLAM is not a 'religion'.
ISLAM, is a fascist state, a
political
tyranny.
Quote:I wonder why fd let a perfectly good political forum turn into a loony neo con bible bashing convention?
If a person is not permitted to say things, in a political forum [such as OzPol], which others may consider offensive, then,
.....FREEDOM OF SPEECH in that forum,
.....is what you, DO *NOT* HAVE.
skip,
Why shouldn't contentious issues be discussed on a 'good political forum'?
Are you suggesting that we should only be allowed to express views which do not offend ISLAM-o-philes, and ppl with views and perspectives such as your own skip?
That would be a very sad day, wouldn't it???
In attacking my views, this philosophy, is what skippy defends....
ISLAM's [Allah's] response to dissent, against ISLAM....
"....whenever [TRUTH speakers, critics of ISLAM] are found, they shall be seized and slain (without mercy)."

FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS SELF REGULATING
FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS THE GUARDIAN OF FREE SOCIETIES
Open societies do not fear the opinions of fools.
....they rather, EXPOSE and laugh at folly!
In any free and open debate, if a 'position' is absurd, if an 'argument' is absurd,
...then the debater is [often] condemned to all, WITH HIS OWN WORDS.
And that result [i.e. the exposure of folly] is THE VERY FUNCTION, of free and open debate.
Free and open debate *is meant* to be A CONTEST OF IDEAS!
....where every folly is revealed.
And open debate is healthy, to all general freedoms in a society.
Whereas, lies are easily concealed in closed societies,
....*because* these closed societies are places where lies, and falsehood,
....ARE NEVER EXPOSED TO SCRUTINY, OR SPOKEN TRUTH.
