[quote author=Hot_Breath link=1379233325/433#433 date=1386041187]Nah, Grendel, it's a lot more fun to mock you with your prejudices and your claims to moral superiority when all you do is troll. Got any more silly cartoons for us? If that is your level of debate, sheesh! Cheesy

My prejudices?

Islamophobia

What do you LIKE about Islam, Titties?

Why do I have to like it? I tolerate it. I like most Muslims that I've met, they tend to be great people.

You however habitually declare your hatred for all Muslims at every opportunity! Cheesy

I talk about Islam, you switch to Muslims.
I object to Islam the way I object to fascism, communism, Marxism.

These are not biological categories but freely chosen ethical, ideological positions.

You do not HAVE to be a Muslim or a fascist or a communist, Jehovah's Witness, Catholic, Anglican, atheist, Green, Labor or Liberal.

He is not even aware he is doing it. He can only see this argument in terms of people being unfair to Muslims, for no apparent reason. He does not even seem to be aware of the debate over ideology, or the fact that Muslims choose to believe a violent, oppressive ideology that they will impose on others wherever they are able to. He can only see Muslims who are unable to impose their will on other acting the way he thinks they should. He cannot even bring himself to ask Muslims what they believe, yet is happy to tell everyone else what they believe based on the fact that they have never personally done anything to him.

And you seem to find it impossible to differentiate between moderate Muslims and extremist Muslims. I wonder why? Because you're a bigot? Cheesy

And you seem blissfully unaware that this is not an attack on an ideology, it is an attack on people - muslim people. Hot Breath has identified this only too accurately. Just take this paragraph of yours - you try to make this about ideology, then in the very same breath castigate HB for not "realising" these people are violent and intolerant. Not the ideology - the people themselves. Its no different to when you repeatedly explain away demonstrations of goodwill by muslims as cynical PR exercises by a group whose only reason for not behave violently because they do not (yet) have the strength to. All completely baseless of course. To you, muslims can never be just nice "normal" people - they must be sinnister, intolerant and constantly plotting - not because you have any actual evidence muslims are like this on the whole, but because of your warped interpretation of islamic text.

You are no better than Yadda.

Allah has a word for these so called moderate muslims, Allah calls them hypocrites (munfiqs).

Quote:

Allah speaking
O Profit , fight against the disbelievers and the hypocrites, and be harsh upon them.
And their refuge is hell.
www.quran.com/9/73

So who are the hypocrites in the Quran kok breath?

Leftists and the Ayatollahs have a lot in common when it comes to criticism of Islam, they don't tolerate it.

The hypocrites the Quran refers to were the people in Medina who were against Muhammad and his message, but pretended to follow The Prophet. But really they were biding their time waiting for the right opportunity to move against The Prophet.

They also played on Muhammad's and islam's inherent tolerance to criticism, spreading rumours and insults to try and destabilise and destroy the Prophet.

Christians sheltering worldwide - and usually in non-developed nations. Those in civilised nations are beaten with legalities and 'Thou shall nots' - but still seek shelter.

Seeking shelter from whom?

The 'Great Satan' - or those who spread the the 'Religion of Peace'.

By their deeds you shall know them.

Christians (and everyone else) shelter and Muslims slaughter.

Of course, it's all to do with revenge for the atrocities of the 'West'. The 'Christians' (and everyone else).

Now we hear that Mandela's funeral could be a trap - that the leader of the 'Great Satan' could attend and thus pollute the Iranian president.

I mean really!

All bullshite aside, it's gonna take another Crusade.

Let's just hope we can win this one. It's almost come to all or nothing. Do the numbers and the politics.

Anyone want to offer odds?

I wish that the moslems [and their apologists] in this forum, would stop persecuting me.

All of the time, they keep calling me names, bigot, genocide advocate, hater.

Its just not fair.

But i guess i've got it easy, compared to the Christians [and the members of other minorities], who live within moslem majority jurisdictions.
