Let see a demonstration of this. Gandalf, what does this passage from the Koran mean?

4. Except those of the Mushrikun with whom you have a treaty, and who have not subsequently failed you in aught, nor have supported anyone against you. So fulfill their treaty to them to the end of their term. Surely Allah loves Al- Mattaqun (the pious - see V.2:2).

5. Then when the Sacred Months (the Ist, 7th, 11th, and 12th months of the Islamic calendar) have passed, then
kill the Mushrikun
(see V.2:105) wherever you find them, and capture them and besiege them, and prepare for them each and every ambush.
But if they repent and perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), and give Zakat, then leave their way free. Verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

The last time Gandalf accused people of being warriors, it was to justify genocide.

Daesh is a fascist, militant organization with Middle Eastern cultural elements.

This is how we should view, define and resolve the issue.

You got an issue with Frank or what he says, take it up with him.  I am sure he can speak for himself. As was I speaking for myself.   


Actually I don't mind Frank, and I too was speaking about you. I guess my question is what issue do you have with me that you don't have with all the feral bigoted diatribe that gets thrown around here. Read much of what moses says? He literally said that 100% of male muslims are mentally disabled psychopaths who are so stupid they squat to pee. And thats him on a good day. The fact that I, as a muslim male, take offense at that (well not really to be honest)  is beside the point entirely. As you say, we are talking about what floats your boat, and I'm actually interested to know, but I'm little confused. Where, for example, was all your high and mighty lecturing about religious "cultists" when the resident christian fundamentalist boasted that he believes all muslims, every man woman and child are latent wannabe psychopathic killers - along with all his bible quotes to back him up? But I stress, I'm not complaining about them - I'm just curious to know what motivates you to waltz into these discussions every now and then, weed through all the offensive bigoted racism against muslims, and somehow find what the muslim says so objectionable? Yeah I get it, you don't like Islam (or presumably any religion, even though you never seem to say anything about any of the others) - but honestly where do you get off with your seeming delight at calling me "cultist" at every opportunity and sneering and jeering at my posts as if there aren't far more offensive posters on the opposite side?

Actually I've asked FD the same questions - since as the resident standard bearer of freedom, I have always found it strange that he never has anything to say about the daily calls to ban Islam, close mosques and take away every freedom from muslims you can think of. Yet if he hears a muslim or worse, a spineless apologist for Islam even hint at curbing freedom, then you'll get the full treatment: 30 page threads mocking you, another 50 threads banging on about this horrendous attack on freedom, and of course entry into the hall of shame - aka the wiki. FD is hypocritical about this, but at least he does kinda acknowledge it and gives some sort of defense - which is that he considers Islam a far worse threat to freedom than anything else. Would you be open enough to acknowledge this secret? That you will ignore or even pardon anti-muslim bigotry because you are "choosing your battles" as it were?

gosh secret - am I right in assuming you took that tongue-in-cheek response of mine to heart? But anyway it was not misrepresenting you - in fact my intention was to highlight exactly what you were "representing" (the threat extremist muslims) to make a point about how you are deciding not to "represent" the threat of anti-Islam bigotry - even when you literally land smack bang in the middle of ground zero of anti-Islam bigotry.

Quote:
As for the rest of your blubbering rubbish, within the forum rules I will waltz in where I like and comment as I like, you do not dictate to me that I should respond to the posts of others nor how I should respond to the posts of others. 

You of course, in your own Islamic sandpit are free to ban me, though of course a better option from you and your sidekick would have been to simply not lie and misrepresent my post. 


Grin oh my - precious much secret?

Fear not though, I'm not the freedom-hating intolerant caricature you seem so desperate to paint me as. If you spend any time here at all you'll see I allow frank and moses hurl their insults at me on a daily basis. I think the last post I deleted was from one of the apologists.

oh and here's a tip secret - if you don't want people "sneering" at you, suggest you don't go out of your way to be a dick towards them. Like for example, vindictively calling them "cultist" at every possible opportunity. Just a thought  Smiley

Now you see here I have to disagree with you. The conflict between Israel and the Palestinian is one of competing Nationalisms. The Palestinians contend that the Jewish homeland was built on Palestinian Land.To mislabel the situation in Israel and the "Occupied Territories" as "Muslim Terror" shows a total lack of understanding of the situation.

Firstly, international Law states that a people denied the right to self determination are considered to be acting in self-defence should they take up arms. The denial of the right to self determination is considered to be the act of aggression. Also under international Law people under Military occupation from a foreign power are entitled to resist that occupation.

You will note that during the U.S. occupation of Iraq, groups and individuals that resisted the occupation were called insurgents, not terrorist. I will agree with you that driving a truck into a crowded street in London or Paris is and act of terrorism, but driving a truck into a military check point in the Palestinian occupied territories is a legitimate form of resistance under international Law.

Now some propagandist would label it as an act of terrorism because it suits their political agenda.However to label the Palestine Israel conflict as Muslim terrorism would be like suggesting the American Revolution was simply a puritan revolt.   


Thanks for an insightful post, Lapstone. The ultimate point is that Israel's wall is built on illegally occupied land. Israel has ignored UN resolutions for years. It's in breech of international law.

Frank will hiss and froth and carry on like an old bag lady, but this is the law. Yes, it's complicated, but until Israel is ready to sit down and negotiate its illegal territories, they will face resistance.

Hitting back at your illegal attackers (1967) and defending yourself against them (wall) is not  "illegal", it is the only sane thing. If the arabs hadnt atttacked israel in 67 the West bank would be still occupied by jordan - or might have become palestine by now. But for the muslims the very existence of israel is unbearable ( not the non-existence of palastine.)


While moot, you make a worthy point. Israel may well face resistance if it moved back to its original borders, but it will always face resistance if it doesn't. Israel occupies illegal territory.

This is an existential problem for Israel, as every Israeli schoolboy knows.

Israel is an actual country, recognised by the UN. 'Palestine' isn't.

No FD, you have never asked me that question before. Fancy that eh?

The real question though should be around the context of that command. In case you hadn't noticed, I have argued at length that there is a context which I won't repeat here. You on the other hand want to insist there is no context and that it should be taken in complete isolation. So what you really want me to say is that this command is a blanket command to kill non-muslims for being non-muslim (even though it makes no mention of this justification), no ifs, no buts, just wholesale slaughter for all places, for all time. Why you are so desperate to get me to "admit" that my religion must necessarily be one of everlasting intolerance and slaughter, rather than accept my personal interpretation that Islam is a religion of tolerance and peace - which one would think would be a good thing and something that is desperately needed with so much intolerance and violence in the name of Islam - is beyond me. But we've been over this territory ad-infinitum as you know.

Palestine is recognised by the UN as an "actual country" - with non-observer status.

Quote:
As of 14 September 2015, 136 (70.5%) of the 193 member states of the United Nations and two non-member states have recognized the State of Palestine. Many of the countries that do not recognize the State of Palestine nevertheless recognize the PLO as the "representative of the Palestinian people". On 29 November 2012, the UN General Assembly passed a motion changing Palestine's "entity" status to "non-member observer state" by a vote of 138 to 9, with 41 abstentions.
