Quote:Besides, I already quoted what he said in another thread - which obviously mirrors what he thinks here:
Yes it is funny how that is the only thing you will actually quote.
Quote:Really? I pointed to what he said in the OP - is it really necessary for me to quote what is available by clicking on page 1?
Apparently it is.
Quote:Baron also makes it clear he is not interested in a rational debate by using the deliberately offensive term "pedophile bastard unworthy human".
It looks to me like he was giving examples of what might get you killed.
Quote:He presents one particular point of view without making any attempt to acknowledge that this is only one of many points of view about this subject.
What exactly do you expect? A thesis on the range of possible opinions?
Quote:He also didn't offer any sort of analysis on the source he quoted
He was asking for opinions on it.
Quote:Obviously he is not interested in discussing the topic - which is clear when seeing his views on the subject - like what I quoted from another thread.
So it is obvious from a quote from another thread that he is no interested in discussing in this thread? It sounds to me like he is the one trying to debate and you are looking for any barrier you can find.
Quote:well I interpret "What is the punishment for insulting Allah, i cant find anything " as erm... asking what the punishment for insulting Allah is.
Funny, you have just spent the last few pages arguing the opposite. Can you see how clear it all becomes once you actually quote someone? You don't even have to use the quote function.
Quote:There's nothing wrong with this discussion, but thats not what the thread is about.
So you keep saying. What is the one true topic again?
Quote:You don't think it matters when non-muslims base their opinion that islam (and by extension muslims) is evil purely based on their misunderstanding of what islamic doctrine prescribes?
I think you'll find it is what Muslims themselves believe that makes people think Islam is evil
Quote:Well there are a lot of muslims for a start. If just 1% of muslims are expressing extreme views, thats still a relatively lot of people - but the point is, its only a tiny percentage of all muslims.
So Abu is in the minority and you represent the majority? He seems to think the opposite. At the very least, the number of Muslims around the world fighting tooth and nail again other Muslims, democracy, human rights etc points to at least a significant portion of them having extreme views.
Quote:Maybe the question you should be asking - given that the vast majority of muslims didn't go out rioting or calling for beheadings - is why so many muslims got it right?
Abu does not go around calling for beheadings either. That doesn't mean he doesn't support the barbaric shariah law.
You forgot to put this in a quote, were you going to respond to it?
Is the death penalty for apostasy also incorrect? Also, are you in a minority of Muslims with these beliefs? Are you a 'Koran only' Muslim? Are you even a Muslim?
Quote:that doesn't even make sense. If the Bible said that Abraham or Jesus or the Easter Bunny was a christian, then thats what it says, and in which case I would dispute anyone who tried to claim otherwise. I'm not saying whether any of it is right or wrong, just simply stating what the quran says. Is that so hard to understand??
Ah, so the Koran says it, but the Koran is wrong?
