Islam's Violent Verses...

Post Reply New Topic

Good for you that your are not too proud to get help.

Sincerely, FOR PEACE, regardless of religion human being is what countS and the FREE ABILITY TO LOVE ALL OTHERS. :)

Narcissism is healthy for yourself, better than self-hate, depression and suicide as a result, I will die after a long life knowing that I contributed to this world whilst others pathetic beings would hate me and drive themselves, not me, into suicide due to their imbecilic attitudes and persona. To be angry and take it to an immature level is due to my short temper, that I help by spiritual anger management, such as Yoga, and Islam that makes me much more harmless and peacefuller.

Yes I agree AND go to my blog site if you like and you will see I LIVE THIS PHILOSOPHY IN LIVING COLOR. ;)

I AM NOT STANDING STILL, or just talking, I am changing the world, ONE PERSON AT A TIME, moment by moment, through action and JUST DOING IT, LIKE my friends at Nike say. ;)

I've already made my mark and documented it as such.

If I die today my life is already complete, but nah, I GO ON, AS TRUE POWER IS IN UNCONDITIONAL LOVE AND PEACEFUL LIVING WAYS.

MY WAY IS BOTH OLD AND YOUNG, AND PERHAPS YOUR PATH IS JUST STARTING, I know not about that.

But never the less, my REAL PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU AND NEVER AGAINST YOU or ANYONE else.

As I can afford to be that way as my bank of SACRED LOVE IS OVERFLOWING WITH GOLD.

This might actully surpise some people but, The Bible is actully much more violent than The Quran.

The Quran has 532 violent verses: http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/quran ... /long.html
The Bible has 1318 violent verses: http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/cruelty/long.html

I'm not sure that is right, they met Syrian Christians, there is no reason to assume these were in communion with Rome. The term "Catholic" as the church was only used since the 17th century. The first century it was used by Ignatius of Antioch mean "universal" church.

Then why are Muslims more violent than Christians? Inbreeding? Higher levels of testosterone? A combination? Some other factor(s)?

During the time of the prophet Mohammed the Great Schism between Roman Catholics and Orthodox had not happened yet. And some people today still use catholic in its original meaning. I know some Calvinists who call themselves catholic, just not Roman.

Reading some of these "532 violent verses", I can safely say that none of them are violent and that the website are trying to prove a point that is not in there, not saying those verses do not exist, but those meanings that these people try to put into these verses are nothing more than propaganda, and others are deliberately misquoted. For example; 1) when it refers to 2:190, it deliberately chose to write out the next words of that verse and not finish the whole sentence, which is; "Fight in the way of Allah those who fight you but do not transgress. Indeed. Allah does not like transgressors."

It's quite obvious what that verse say, even what I highlighted in italics clearly proves that it's about self-defense.

2) For the second verse, when it refers to 2:244, "And fight in the cause of Allah and know that Allah is Hearing and Knowing." That verse is nothing more than indications and implications from these bigots' side trying to prove a "look! Muslims are to wage war unconditionally against all unbelievers”, which is a lie, it's nothing more than a false portrayal rather than showing the verse as it is. Fighting in the cause of God is to fight oppression, as shown in verse 2:246, “And why should we not fight in the cause of Allah when we have been driven out from our homes and from our children?” In that context, verse 2:244 encourages Muslims to fight oppression and persecution. The passage does not endorse killing of innocents as the cherry picked verse that those people come with.



It even used one of these cherry picked bigot's verse, which can be read in the OP.

Clearly that website didn't do much of its research and I could continue on how many of these verses are cherry-picked and some even are immaterial, but I don't have time for that and a great portion, if not all, of it is propaganda by just proving how that they were wrong on only two of these, they would all be wrong. I am sure some of those Bible verses aren't violent either, but I haven't read the Bible, it would come off unprofessional to justify what I haven't read.

If you spent your dimwitted time on reading my post, you would know that you're full of nonsense: You're dismissed.

This doesn't explain why Muslims are more violent than Christians.

Are you stupid? It explains that majority of Muslims are not violent, lesser than a 1%, your "Muslims are more violent..." at that only has been debunked. About Christians, most crimes of the world were done by them.

Are you trying to convert Aspies to Islam?

If so, you are failing ... miserably!

I've seen some iconography that makes Mary look more like an eight year old than a teenager. Is pedophilia somehow better if it's a god doing it?

To paraphrase both the Bible and Sam Harris, 'by their fruits you shall know them.' Fundamentalist muslims, fundamentalist jews, and fundamentalist christians tend to not be very pleasant people and resort to violence fairly frequently. If there are currently more violent muslims, it's because there are currently more fundie muslims.

Fundamentalist jains wear gauze over their faces and refrain from walking on plants to avoid inhaling insects or crushing blades of grass. Extremist jains starve themselves to death, because eating usually intrinsically kills other organisms.

And tell me, my dear idiot, how does it come off as that I am trying, in any way, to proselytize anyone? I'm simply getting rid of misconceptions and ignorant bigotry. Is that how you respond when you have nothing of substance to offer? Well, you can just leave, as said, you're the laughingstock.

OK can you please tell me what is the point of this thread - is it to ridicule and insult other members? If that is the case, then this thread is about to end soon.

They might be monotheistic--but they're certainly not monolithic.
