Yep,every day in the news:Boko Haram,Isis.."unknown shouting "allahu ahkbar"
all Islamic.

You do understand that the only thing smaller in percentage to Boko Haram's 9000 strong to those practicing Islam is the ratio to brain cells functioning : non functioning in your tiny head.

The worst part about Muslims is that they are theists.. Once humanity cures itself of the disease of religion, this will no longer plague us, until then, mainstream religions are all on pretty much equal footing.

No mention of "Common Era" in the pre-2000 reference book :p
Also..If you read,even the Muslims use the same time method.See page 2 for "Anno Domini" mention.

While I agree that the link with all the Quran quotes/rhetoric is not the best source due to heavy bias;The fact remains that all of those quotes are taken directly from the Quran.

I've read through them..there's a few taken out of context for sure,that doesn't change the fact that more than a majority of them are NOT.


Common Era:

"Common Era, abbreviated as CE, is one of the designations for the world's most commonly used year-numbering system.[1][2] The numbering of years using Common Era notation is identical to the numbering used with "Before Christ / Anno Domini" (BC/AD) notation, 2011 being the current year in both notations and neither using a year zero.[3] Common Era is also known as Christian Era[4] and Current Era,[5] with all three expressions abbreviated as CE.[6] (Christian Era is, however, also abbreviated AD, for Anno Domini.[7]) Dates before the year 1 CE are indicated by the usage of BCE, short for "Before the Common Era", "Before the Christian Era", or "Before the Current Era".[8] Both the BCE/CE and BC/AD notations are based on a sixth-century estimate for the year in which Jesus was conceived or born, with the common era designation originating among Christians in Europe at least as early as 1615 (at first in Latin).[9]"

As for your knowledge of Islam, as I said, you've apparently read a couple of internet articles. How nice for you.

riiight.
Because Christianity's goal is world domination,they practice Hijrah, and Jihad,and taqiyya.
Sure..they're all the same.We all came from monkeys,too.
The terrorist problem would have been put in check a long time ago if less people thought like you do.

No, ding-dong; humans and apes had a common ancestor.

If more people educated themselves or paid attention in school, we'd have put in check the ignorant (i.e. you) problem a long time ago

The goal of all diseases of religion is to spread like a virus.
Rationality is the vaccine
.
My mother is a human, my father is a human.
However, I am different from both my mother and my father.
Go back millions of generations, and those differences will scale many orders of magnitude to the point where human/apes divested from the same common ancestor.

This is of course pretty much a certain fact with a very large body of scientific evidence to support. Pretty much it is the entire basis of biology.

Evolution is as basic to biology as newtons laws are to physics. All this bible/religious hogwash is from before telescopes and computers, its simply got no basis in science at all, it is mythology and tall tales. Its concentrated embellishment and exaggeration.

Your trolling via pretending to be the worlds most obtuse man will not phase me. I have seen this before many times, I even saw in real like one person who was trolling me with thei fanatical idea that vaccines cause autism.

hahahahahaha
you are very funny.

It is interesting that you chose to use the terrorists to your advantage to defend your bigotry. Perhaps that is because self righteous fanatics believe the ends justtify the means, even if they dont.

Blaming an entire group for the actions of a few demented individuals is practically the definition of bigotry.

I give your troll posts a solid 8 out of 10 points.


You score high since you manage to "self define" both ignorant and bigot in the same thread, but, your posts are not very believable. This character you use for your troll posts is too incompetent to be truly believable.

Perhaps time for you to drop the act? If I'm wrong, and you are actually just one of those people who has to endure an entire life with the mind of a child, like Sloth from the Goonies or Blaster from thunderdome, then I am sorry, and keep on keepin on.

Actually it's some Western "scholars" and their predominate religion, along with some easily duped internet surfers that have taken Islam and corrupted it into something vile.

You know, you really don't have to keep proving to us how apropos your user name is; we get it.

OP is retard...

My response:You are incorrect,sir.Biology is based on living organisms and repeatable experiments;The theory of evolution is NOT.

I my commentsd did not include anything about immigrants.
my comments didnt include anything about races.
I also didnt call you crazy.

You have failed to earn a bingo.

I did state the fact that you are a bigot, and gave my understanding of the word bigot to mean "you" .. This does not mean you are bigoted against "races" or "foreigners". Your bigotry is against Muslims, and rational people. (or science people, or liberals as you may call some of them)

Also, You are stupid, well, the character you have created for this forum is one of extreme stupid. I acknowledge that fact But I did not call you stupid, that was your own declaration (the line about the monkeys)

As I made a mention before. I do not believe the man behind the keyboard is really this character, as I suspect the man behind the keyboard is much smarter.

Also, as far as "don't believe in science" goes. That was not my declaration. You said you dont believe in science, not me. Your flame bait about monkeys is anti-science, pure and simple.


Your bingo card could be improved quite a bit. Like, make sure you get something in their about Sean Hannity, its out of date!

umm..I quoted more people than you..
but I'm sure it's all about you,right? ():)
ackk..Sean Hannity..Actually,that is the best Bingo card I could find. :)
Anyways..
The point is:Those "extreme fanatics" are actually the purest followers of Islam.
They are following the teachings more fervently than most of the others.
They're just following the Quran;As are the ones practicing hijrah.

Many people have been contesting evolution for many years.
None of them have ever used any scientific evidence to their advantage.

This is because they are clearly wrong. You are free to believe what you want to believe, even if you are wrong. But, if you are going to make a statement, be prepared to back it up, unless your intent is to score bingo.

You're right, about the insults at least. For those I used I sincerely apologize.

That still doesn't change the tortured reasoning you're using applying the actions of a few to the total adherents of a religion.

Should we hold all of Christianity to task for the actions of a relative few abortion clinic bombers; the whole of Judaism to task for the actions against Palestine?

You're missing the point.
By far a larger a larger percentage of Muslims feel the same way as the terrorists.
The more devout;the more terroristy.
It's as simple as that, really.
All they have to do is follow the Quran.
i.e.:

^That's NOT me.

He was a butcher.
By the way..I knew a girl that experienced "Love-Jihad"
She was lucky to escape with her life.The man was a doctor who owned a local clinic.

Your argument was beginning to make sense until you decided that for possible effect you decided to delve into the false equivalency area...................

Why is it when people get all butt hurt they decide to try to change the subject to what the Christians in the past did and make it sound like this too shall pass???

Still you must admit that Smuckley does have a point --

Don't forget slaughtering whole villages,and killing people because they're Jewish or won't conform to their warped religion.

Of course they don't, because Dominionists, followers of Prosperity Gospel, and their masters can afford missiles, drones, and fighter jets.

They can also afford to send other people to die for them.

Were that true the whole non-Muslim population of the world would be dead long before now. Why has that not happened?

Truth hurts, doesn't it.

Yes, that he constantly applies the actions of a few to an entire religion. Other than that not so much.

You see your logic is well...ehhh.....

Did you ever think that the few are perhaps the ones who are correct and the ones who do nothing to counter the few perhaps agree with the few?
Perhaps they are afraid of the few...could be...yet they are far more numerous than the few...so what gives, exactly??

No, violence for any reason; especially for conversion to a religion, is deplorable and singularly counter-productive.

So doing nothing means that the many agree with the few? How absolutely fascinating! So all white males who said nothing after the Oklahoma bombing agreed with Terry McVeigh? All pro-lifers who said nothing after the many bomb threats, fires and shootings at abortion clinics agreed with the anti-abortion perpetrators?

If I were Muslim and didn't agree with the extremists I wouldn't say anything either; what can I say, I love living. I'm selfish that way. I would try to work within the system to change what I could.

^Good read
LOL at some of the Fatwas.
Mickey Mouse and Jerry :eek:
I'm guessing he had a thing for Mice.

Jindal and Al-Sisi make a good point here: http://www.cnbc.com/id/102346059#.

Imam speaks against terror attacks in Michigan: http://www.wxyz.com/news/region/way...r-attacks-in-paris-condemns-them-as-senseless "That's not Islam" He looks American.

Perhaps Muslim leaders are afraid to speak out with good reason: https://news.vice.com/article/attac...ic-state-raise-fears-over-growth-of-extremism

^Keep in mind this is in Bosnia..Where people took it too far fighting Islam the wrong way...mortaring elementary schools n stuff.Oh look..the U.S is responsible for radical Islam there.

Imam in France speaks against terrorism:

Moderate Imam here (in Canada):
http://calgaryherald.com/news/local...rlie-hebdo-attack-but-says-cartoons-offensive

..and Imam In Saudi Arabia: http://pamelageller.com/2015/01/sau...derstand-and-muslims-discovered-america.html/

Imam in Brooklyn: http://www.memritv.org/clip/en/4748.htm

My (not so) favorite Hannity vs British Imam who condones terror attacks. http://www.mediaite.com/tv/hannity-confronts-british-imam-on-paris-attack-youre-justifying-this/


Algerian Imam makes his point here: http://www.mfs-theothernews.com/2015/01/video-algerian-imam-justifies-paris.html

Basically it seems 50/50 on Imams supporting/condemning terrorism.That's just from 30 minutes worth of research..don't hate or make general ratio into something it's not..It sure looks that way to me, though.

I think the authorities should check out the Mosques.Sit in on some services.
The 9/11 pilots went to the Mosque in my town.Their Imam was arrested for funding terrorists.

You keep using that phrase. I do not think it means what you think it does.
The problem you have is that whenever this subject is brought up the people who are Pro-Islam always bring up the Crusades and what the Christians did way back when -- A common way for this fallacy to be perpetuated is one shared trait between two subjects is assumed to show equivalence, especially in order of magnitude, when equivalence is not necessarily the logical result. False equivalence is a common result when an anecdotal similarity is pointed out as equal, but the claim of equivalence doesn't bear because the similarity is based on oversimplification or ignorance of additional factors.

So what going on with Israel? The US calls the Israeli settlers terrorists. There is a lot of them, enough to get a few political parties going. Do the rest of the Jewish folk in Israel actually agree with the terrorists?
