I'm disappointed that you have conceded so quickly, by refusing to discuss the verses of Christianity or Judaism that exhort the believer to lie to, cheat, defraud and murder those of other faiths. (Genesis: Message # 28603 and Numbers: Msg num=28604> were merely my opening shots).

28638. concerned - 10/31/2006 12:26:13 AM

Re. Genesis, Numbers:

These, again, are narratives and apply only to the ancient Hebrews from a time approximately 4000 years ago. You are not showing a trace of intelligence, honesty or proportion.

Why not try to find something, anything, in Judaism or Christianity that is at all comparable to the strictures imposed by modern Islam on its believers?

You have done nothing to make your point so far.

28639. concerned - 10/31/2006 12:27:11 AM

'almost 4000 years ago'

28640. concerned - 10/31/2006 12:34:08 AM

AC - however much contempt you may have for Jewish religious beliefs and attitudes keep in mind that they are the polar opposites of the more militant Muslims wrt proselytization.

28641. concerned - 10/31/2006 12:56:57 AM

Btw, that 'fish' in the barrel you thought you were shooting - that was your foot.

I don't know how you can think pointing to individual instances of questionable behavior over 3000 years ago in the history of the Jews proves anything in today's world, because every thing you have presented so far has not much bearing on Jewish and none at all on Christian attitudes towards those of other faiths today, and none of it is at all prescriptive in the sense that the relevant passages in the Kor(a)n and Hadiths are.

28642. alistairConnor - 10/31/2006 1:02:31 AM

You set the goalposts, Concerned.

You didn't think I could find "verses of Christianity or Judaism that exhort the believer to lie to, cheat, defraud and murder those of other faiths."

Now you want to move them.

Am I surprised?

28643. concerned - 10/31/2006 1:12:08 AM

You didn't find any, in fact, that exhort the believer to lie to, cheat, defraud and murder those of other faiths.

Be so good as to note the present tense, please. That means now, not 1500 years ago. Not 3000 years ago. Now.

28644. concerned - 10/31/2006 1:13:45 AM

How's your foot feeling with all those holes in it, AC?

28645. concerned - 10/31/2006 1:17:42 AM

I have to concede that you have definitely found examples where the Hebrews have mistreated others in such ways in the past. My apologies if you misunderstood what I was asking.

28646. Jenerator - 10/31/2006 2:13:05 AM

Jexster,

28624. jexster - 10/30/2006 4:41:33 AM

No he doesn't Jen...that's a lie.


No - *who* doesn't? Doesn't what?


I am not going to keep posting the same material that proves it

For as many sites as you link, I can find equal number that prove what I saw. So....?

I have done it several times now

I have provided links as well.


The issue (in a nutshell) is that you are regurgitating bottom feeder swill that right wing Jews have passed off as authentic muslim scholarship

Who are these Jewish sources that I have been sourcing and who are these operatives I have been talking to? Are the Muslims I know all covert Jewish spies?

You are republishing lies and bigotry

What lies?? The principle of nasikh exists as do the bloody verses. You're mental, jexster.

28647. jexster - 10/31/2006 2:20:04 AM

That spew, that nonsense, that bile is of Kosher origin you moron

28648. jexster - 10/31/2006 2:20:28 AM

28649. Jenerator - 10/31/2006 2:26:49 AM

And again ..the proof is not only in Muslim scripture but in praxis

Proof that there is a violent aspect to Islam? I don't disagree! Tell me about the praxis of today

...which when contrasted with Christain history of Jewish and Muslim persecutions, admits of no dispute either

The Christians and Jews aren't strapping bombs onto our pregnant mothers and blowing themselves up. They aren't disguising themselves as civilians and walking into markets with other Christians and Jews and killing all of them, either.

Of course not.

28650. Jenerator - 10/31/2006 2:29:10 AM

Nasikh

and more nasikh

The biggest lie about Koran ever told

Today's Islamic scholars have a pleasure in showing the "NO COMPULSION IN RELIGION VERSE" (Koran 2:256). But these Islamic scholars who accuse the critics of using koranic verses out of context must check out the context of this verse. This is exactly what we will do:

But before we go into this we have to see when and why a verse was said by Muhammad (1) and does he contradict his earlier verses in that process (2)? In that case what happens (3)?

To know why and when Muhammad said some thing as a revelation (1) we need to make use of the chronology of the koranic verses obtained from the Hadiths and Siras, and the tafsir will also help us in this issue. Though there is no standard and accepted chronology of the Koran.

The Egyptian standard edition gives the following chronological order of the Suras, with the verses said to date from a different period given in parentheses:

XCVI, LXVIII (17-33, 48-50 Med.), LXXIII (10 f., 20 Med.), LXXIV, I, CXI, LXXXI, LXXXVII, XCII, LXXXIX, XCIII, XCIV, CIII, C, CVIII, CII, CVII, CIX, CV, CXIII, CXIV, CXII, LIII, LXXX, XCVII, XCI, LXXXV, CVI, CI, LXXV, XCV, CIV, LXXVII (48 Med.), L (38 Med.), XC, LXXXVI, LIV (54-6 Med.), XXXVIII, VII (163-70 Med.), LXXII, XXXVI (45 Med.), XXV (68-70 Med.), XXXV, XIX (58, 71 Med.), XX

(130 f. Med.), LVI (71 f. Med.), XXVI (197, 224-7 Med.),XXVII, XXVIII (52-5 Med., 85 during Hijrah), XVII (26, 32 f., 57, 73-80 Med.), X (40, 94-6 Med.), XI (12, 17, 114 Med.), XII (1-3, 7 Med.), XV, VI (20, 23, 91,114, 141, 151-3 Med.), XXXVII, XXXI (27-9 Med.), XXXIV (6 Med.), XXXIX (52-4 Med.), XL (56 f. Med.), XLI, XLII (23-5, 27 Med.), XLIII (54 Med.), XLIV, XLV (14 Med.), XLVI (10, 15, 35 Med.), LI, LXXXVIII,XVIII (28, 83-101 Med.), XVI (126-8 Med.), LXXI, XIV (28 f. Med.), XXI, XXIII, XXXII (16-20 Med.), LII, LXVII, LXIX, LXX, LXXVIII, LXXIX, LXXXII, LXXXIV, XXX (17 Med.), XXIX (1-11 Med.), LXXXIII Hijrah, II (281 later), VIII (30-6 Mec.), III, XXXIII, LX, IV, XCIX, LVII, XLVII (13 during Hijrah), XIII, LV, LXXVI, LXV, XCVIII, LIX, XXIV, XXII, LXIII, LVIII, XLIX, LXVI, LXIV, LXI, LXII, XLVIII, V, IX (128 f. Mec.), CX.

28652. Jenerator - 10/31/2006 2:41:08 AM

Jex,

The revered work "al-Nasikh wal-Mansukh" (The Abrogator and the Abrogated) deals in great detail with many subject matters addressed in the Qur'an wherein there appears to be some conflict or contradiction. The book goes through every sura (chapter), pointing out in full detail every verse which has been canceled, and the verse(s) which replace it. The author notes that out of 114 suras, there are only 43 which were not affected by this concept. If there no contradiction why was such a branch of science ever needed?

Answer that for me.

28653. Jenerator - 10/31/2006 2:46:50 AM

The Catholic Church of course rejects Jen's perverse understanding of Islam and Christianity, calling for a dialogue of mutual respect and understanding - something which Jen is manifestly incapable.

You're retarded. Everything I have said is legitimate. Nasikh is an Islamic concept and I bet that Ratzinger knows about it and is at least willing to admit it in private, unlike you.

That's because she's a heretic.

She'd have been burned at the stake 500 years ago.


Riiiiiiiiiiiight! What would they have done with you, Jex?

28654. jexster - 10/31/2006 3:16:02 AM

Jen you can spew all that Jewish sewer sludge all you want to but it doesn't amount to a hill of shit.

The verse "No compulsion in religion" is NOT - unlike yours - taken out of context. It is a MEDINAN text and is self-explanatory, ie it cannot be explained away.

I have demonstrated how you have taken verses out of context and have demonstrated that your polluted knowledge of Islam is against the teachings of the Catholic Church and Islam. I have shown you where they come from.

28655. jexster - 10/31/2006 3:17:29 AM

The "revered work"

That phrase comes from King's Missions




28656. jexster - 10/31/2006 3:26:57 AM

Against a clear teaching of Islam, Jen offers her "satanic verses" - Jewish sponsored hate propaganda fed through the King's Mission, to Jen, to the Mote


This is how they try to argue their way out of the No Compulsion mandate..have posted this before

You won't find it in "King's Mission" nor will you find any of that horsewaste in Catholic or Anglican dialogues with Islam


>No compulsion in religion
Quran and Hadith on Religious Persecution



All of which would be rather funny were it not for the horrid history of religious persecution in Christianity, a history unmatched in Islam
