I think that anyone who believes in the literal truth of the Koran is retarded.
I also think that anyone who regards Mohammed, as depicted in the hadiths, as an example to follow in everything he did is retarded.
Anyone who'd rather have a sharia-governed society than a liberal democratic one is also retarded.

What Islamic beliefs do you regard as retarded?

I believe it's retarded to subscribe uncritically to religious doctrine or political ideology.

Every set of rules for the orderly functioning of a democratic society should constantly be under review and secular appraisal in order to ensure the lunatics don't take charge of the asylum.

And what do you actually mean by "retarded"? Are you referring to people literally born with a mental handicap, or is it a term used rather loosely to describe people you consider stupid/ignorant which is either willful or due to their upbringing?

Take a wild guess. I am not speaking classical Arabic - so you are allowed to think and interpret for yourself. Can you manage without an Islamic scholar guiding you?

Look at the thread title. Look at the discussion. Dare I say it? - look at the context.

Gandalf also wants to know what spineless means. Being subjective, terms like spineless and retarded are not only inherently worthless, but also completely lacking in meaning. Thus you can apply whatever meaning you want to them. Abu liked to play the same trick with words like democracy and freedom. I am not sure why so many Muslims do this.

People who can't distinguish between etymology and entomology bug me in ways I cannot put into words.

Well S, it might be a little difficult for me since I am one of the retarded ones in your book. Surely, by definition, a "retarded" person is incapable of thinking and interpreting for themselves no? So I'm not sure how you expect me to answer that.

I just find this discussion interesting, because I'm curious to what sort of retardation afflicts me.

It's to shift (or vaporise) the goal-posts temporarily in order to deny you scoring a valid point.

Beckham the Infidel (punching the air): "Hey! Whoopeedoo! I just scored a goal right between the posts! Hear the roar of the crowd!"

Rachmi the Referee: "Sorry, David, but I regret to inform you that because we're playing by my anti-Western jihadi Muslim Rules, what you thought were goal-posts were in fact an illusion brought about by your infidel wishful thinking. Next time you shoot for the goal, shout "Allahu Akbar!" and you might be pleasantly surprised to discover that I've allowed you a goal".

I'm glad to see him do this.

He's not recanting anything he's said before, but he's found himself becoming increasingly misrepresented by the Neanderthals who've joined his movement without having any understanding of the issues.
