Quote:I also wonder why, if he's spoke to so many, he continually only cites a few?
It's interesting that FD just doesn't detect the irony of his own comments.
You have cited zero Brian. In fact you have gone to some length to avoid discussing the details, sticking steadfastly to vague platitudes.
Quote:Why do the Taliban have to send suicide bombers to other regions of the country to blow up fellow Muslims? Surely their fellow Muslims, if they were all true followers of Islam, as defined by you and other of it's critics here, would all hold the same opinion and automatically reject the democratic process.
Abu has suggested that the death penalty is an appropriate punishment for promoting the wrong type of Islam.
Quote:Why would a Muslim nation like Pakistan even be a democracy (in theory, if not thus far in practice) in the first place if Islam rejected the concepts of democracy so completely, as you and the Taliban claim?
Because Islam makes Muslims so impotent today. The same thing that made them such a feared empire is destroying them today. Do you realise that western nations created the nation of Pakistan, and that one of the chief complaints from Muslims is this type of foreign interference?
Quote:Oh, wait, that was 1400 years ago.
Again Brian, this would be relevant if Muslims left these standards in the past. The problem is that they consider them to be timeless universal moral standards.
Quote:you just weren't here at the time.
What Brian means is why aren't you constantly interuppting discussion about Islam with references to toher religions the way he does to prove your lack of bias.

You could always feel remorseful for adopting a bloke like Muhammed as some kind of spiritual leader.
