At least admit one thing Yadda, as I believe you are at heart and honest person:
you have no interest whatsoever in trying to understand my point of view or the point of view of muslims - the only thing you are interested in these debates is how you can use them to mock and ridicule muslims - right?
gandalf, you are mistaken.
PROPOSITION;gandalf, this is a public forum.
It is a place where persons can debate and reason, and make propositions and arguments,
IN LOGIC, and defend
their OWN, PERSONAL positions on particular issues.
For my part;
From reading ISLAMIC texts, and observing the intimidating, deceitful, and murderous conduct of many, many moslems,
i have come to have a particular perception, about what ISLAM is.Your position, ....is that you appear to be happy and comfortable, to self-declare as a moslem.
Dictionary;
Muslim = = a follower of Islam.I [along with many others], am asking you to defend your position, AND YOUR FAITH, publicly, ....AND, WITH PLAIN AND SIMPLE, REASON AND LOGIC -
WITHOUT ANY OBFUSCATION.
But you seem unwilling to publicly, and plainly, explain how you reconcile; 1/ mainstream ISLAMIC doctrine and 2/ ISLAM's foundation religious texts, clearly promoting political violence in the world, .....with your own declared perception, that ISLAM is a virtuous [and peace loving???] philosophy.
e.g.
Quote:'Whosoever dies without participating in an expedition (jihad) nor having the intention to do so, dies on a branch of hypocrisy,'
- quoting ISLAMIC scripture
Google;
"Allah's Messenger said" "Whosoever dies without participating".
What, is a moslem ????????

Muslim = = a follower of Islam.ISLAM = =

Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission,
and feel themselves subdued. "

enmity and hatred for ever,- unless ye believe in Allah and Him alone"....."
