Islam is not a religion. It is a CULT that follows Muhammad alone, who have only been deceived into believing they do otherwise.


In Australia a cult is just a religion that pays tax just as a point of curiosity

Pete- I would reply to you but your posts are so thick I haven't got time to sit hours and read your posts.

Plus you jump around to much in your posts.

In the same posts you talk about things which are irrelevant to the topic.

In the same  posts you talk about the gospel, then Ramadan, then jihad, then paganism, then moon god, then apostacy etc etc

You don't even know where to reply in your posts.


Then why not simply select a part, and answer that? If you could get honest with yourself for a moment, aren't you really just making excuses to yourself, to run and hide from the truth? I even bolded and enlarged what I was most interested in your answer to. Try answering just that one question:

Just because its not written in the bible doesn't mean a incident/story/revelation didn't occur.

The sun and the moon was also there before the bible.Do you need me to give evidence that there is a sun or moon?

"the Kaaba was built by Ibrahim (Abraham)"
and "Many tribes and nations did reconstruct the kabaa"

So execution for apostasy is not specific enough?


I've explained this enough times already. People act all high principled and with more bravado on moral questions that are purely hypothetical and have no consequences. Surely even you wouldn't be surprised to see a large number of Australians respond "yes" to castrate convicted pedophiles in a random survey, then see that number plummet when Australians were actually asked to vote to make it a reality.

Why does the case in which Muslims in one Malaysian state actually voted this law in not make it real?


The compbined populations of Kelantan and terengganu is less than 1/20th the population of Malaysia - and they have always been a special case because of their history of being occupied by Thais. But did Muslims even "vote" to have this law? Perhaps we can apply your "elections never referendums on single issue" rule.

So you are trying to defend these people's barbaric beliefs by insisting they they are acting "all high principled"?

So when they see "executing apostates" on the survey, they don't realise that the consequence might be executing apostates?

I would be surprised if there was a significant difference. Chemical castration is being seriously promoted as an option for these crimes (actual crimes, not thought crimes). However, as I keep pointing out, one of the states in Malaysia has come very close to enacting a law executing apostates. This would not have escaped people's attention, and the survey would not be the first time they have contemplated whether they support or oppose such a law.

Quote:
The combined populations of Kelantan and terengganu is less than 1/20th the population of Malaysia - and they have always been a special case because of their history of being occupied by Thais.


Everything is always a special case. Like Tasmania. That does not mean we would not notice if Tasmania tried to execute people for thought crimes. The relevant difference here is that the state does not have the high percentage of non-Muslims that the rest of Malaysia does. This means that the majority of Muslims is closer to being the same thing as the majority of the population. Hence, 60% or more of the Muslims support the death penalty for apostasy, so they were able to get the laws through the state parliament. The Thais are not to blame for this. They passed laws to execute apostates because they live in a democracy and the majority of Muslims support the laws - not just in their fantasies, but in reality.

Quote:

It was inevitable that the government policy would come to reflect the will of the majority. As I have pointed out many times, this is not the same argument as your feeble-minded insistence that a person who votes for a party must therefor support every policy that party has, and you can therefor determine the breakdown of views on an issue based on a breakdown of voting patterns and party policy.

umm did you even read what I said?

I'm saying their views on apostasy and adultery don't make them "little Hitlers" as you claimed. I also said that these views won't necessarily remain static as the question moves from an abstract hypothetical, to a distinct possibility.

I never once claimed that the respondents do not think what they say they think and I'm getting tired of you constantly accusing me of doing so.

A murderer is a murderer. Period. Whether it is a parent murdering their child for "apostasy" or state sponsored murder of an apostate - simply because of their desire to live in freedom and outside of the slavery of Islam.

A person only has to hate another person to be a murderer.

1John 3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

The Islamic Mufti of Jerusalem Haj Mohammed Effendi Amin el-Husseini working hand in hand with Hitler, with several Islamic SS divisions and an Islamic panzer division in Hitler's army, certainly made them little Hitlers.

It still baffles me how you use these argument whilst defending the genocide and killing of innocent babies in the name of your god.

Based on what EVIDENCE do you believe that Abraham built, or rebuilt, the Kaaba in Mecca?


I kind of hope a lot about Abraham was untrue.  I sure hope the story about how he almost murdered his son wilfully, and was praised as such which would most likely cause a lifetimes worth of trauma for the poor guy was untrue. 

What is it with God and asking people do to utterly terrible things in his name?

Whatever. Still a majority.

That is one of the things you said. Would "little Muhammed" make you more comfortable. You also claimed - in every post - that they do not really think what they say they think.

Quote:

It already is a distinct possibility. Were it not for federal intervention, one of the states would already have this law (and it is not, as you claim, the Thai's fault). Attempts to actually pass this into law mirror very closely the Pew survey results showing what Muslims think and where such Muslims are likely to hold a majority.

Quote:

Of course you would not speak plainly. You tried to spin it into the most palatable lie you could. Contrary to your misrepresentation, this is a real issue in Malaysia, Muslims genuinely support it, and they try to achieve it as soon as they are able to. And you make excuses for them at every step, insisting it could not actually happen.

You claim to oppose the barbaric aspects of Islam, yet even when you come face to face with it, Islam compels you to delude yourself and to delude others in order to facilitate them.

Abu Hurairah narrates that the Prophet said: “One who keeps the faults of a Muslim secret in this world, Allah will keep his faults in the Hereafter and Allah remains in the help of the (Muslim) man until he is in the help of his brother.” (Musnad Ahmad: 274/2)

If a "law abiding" Australian Muslim supports Shariah law, including hudud punishments, would you refuse to judge or criticise that Muslim for their barbaric views on the grounds that the majority of Australian Muslims don't go round chopping people's heads off?

Would you explain to that Muslim, with the same effort you have applied to Malaysian Muslims, that they do not really think what they say they think and only claim to support hudud punishments because they are yet to realise that chopping someone's head off for a thought crime is a pretty messed up thing to do?

Where, in the process of establishing Shariah law, do you think such a Muslim would come to their senses? If I were to explain to this Muslim that chopping someone's head off is not nice, and that people should be free to choose and reject their own religion, do you think they would suddenly realise how silly they are for supporting the death penalty for apostasy?

Do you think capital punishment is real or abstract for Americans who support it?
