I have been called all kinds of names, and to hear what you wrote in your post before this one, did not fly too well.

Sorry for insult, if any was said.

Try "useful idiot".

Oh and one more thing, which Islam is everyone talking about here? sunni, shi'ai or one of those minor Islam religions?

Sleeping with a 9 year old girl, who was still a child which didnt know what sex was.
That is called paedophilia.

Have you even read my post? Please go back and read my LAST post before this one.

Islam today in its practices and traditions is not different to Pre-Islamic pagan religion of Arabia! Muhammad brought NOTHING to the religion, apart from making up ONE God, which existed anyway alongside few more gods.

He also brought in violence and discrimination.

Show me what he brought which was good and new to the already existing religion!

😆 Muhammed didn't invent the monotheistic view. You don't know what you're talking about.

I think it would be best to read a few quotes from Muhammed.

“He is not strong and powerful who throweth people down; but he is strong who witholdeth himself from anger” meaning restraint is greater than bullying

“The ink of the scholar is more sacred than the blood of the martyr” knowledge is better than sympathy

“One hour's meditation on the work of the Creator is better than seventy years of prayer” Thinking is better than asking

They are all following the sae principle. They disagree who should have taken the power after Muhammad's death.

Please don't pretend to know about something you don't actually. It is not impressive.

Oh and you are a useful idiot - you just proved it below -

Wow!! You are sooo knowledgeble on Muhammad! Wow you googled some quotes which have no credibility nor solid standing!! WOW!

WOW! and You can't even respond to any critcism!

You NEVER say anything, you simply attack others and respond with rhetoric.

You are one of the least creidble people in this forum, right up there with JIA.

Thats REALLY sad.

Yes, she doesn't respond to criticism, but that doesn't mean she's as bad as JIA.

Well she certainly uses similar tactics.

The point is blaming Muhammad for actions that are TODAY morally unacceptable is stupid. THEN saying that Islam is worthless becuase it is based on Muhammad is even more idiotic.

No its not! Im telling you! Because Mohammed raped and enforced his religon on others. There are muslims out there who belive that its ok to rape women because thats what Mohammed did. They didn't just get it out of thin air, they belive its ok because he did it. The whole point is that you're supposed to emulate the prophet and then you're telling me im being idiotic.

What is sp difficult to understand? Serioulsy im baffled.

Yet, you pay attention to Robert Spencer and his xenophobic propoganda machine. You call the west biased, but you live and breathe ultra-conservative reactionary propoganda more biased than the "west."

You praise the David Horowitz Freedom Center, a blatant Orwellian title that supports the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Shawn Hannity, and Robert Spencer.

You praise the Middle East Media Research Institute a WESTERN organization. MEMRI has been highly criticised, even by former US ambassador Willian Rugh (UAE and Yemen) as "not present[ing] a balanced or complete picture of the Arab print media. Its owners are pro-Israeli and anti-Arab. Quotes are selected to portray Arabs as preaching hatred against Jews and westerners, praising violence and refusing any peaceful settlement of the Palestinian issue."

In 1998 the MEMRI website stated that the purpose of their oragnizaiton was to spread "the continuing relevance of Zionism to the Jewish people and to the state of Israel." They also seem to just do a wonderful job of finding the worst possible aspects of Islam and spreading them as widely as they possibly can.

So you do pay a lot of attention to the "western media" which you claim to hate so much. Let me assure you, the credible media here is not half as biased as the crap that you support.

So really, you are both a hypocrite and incorrect.

Hey I can verify that the stuff she is saying is not incorrect. I personally have read what she has said about Islam in books and it has been verified by muslim scholars.......I have told you this already!!!!

You said you used to be a muslim. If that's true you are supposed to know that in Islam having sex is already a sin, and if you have it not with your wife, then it's a horrible sin. That's what Mohammad was teaching, and now you want me to believe that at the same time he was telling everyone to rape women? Gimme a break. I already explained above what was polygamy about and what was marrieage to Aisha, and as for violance, they wanted Mohammad and all his followers dead. I can quote Qur'an all day to prove that it is not violant but we are running circles, so you know what, whatever...

The only reason why we are running in circles is because you dont listen! The fact of the matter is that Mohammed said it was ok to rape women on the battlfield, you are not even going to check it out are you? You're just going to ignore it because you dont like it. What are you telling me now you know more than an Islamic scholar?

Sam you are a complete waste of time. You make stuff up as you go along and you ignore anything you dont like. I mean when I first talked about Abraham you said it was ok for him to smash the idols and then afterwards you said it was wrong. You still have not answered my question about wether it was ok for Mohammed to smash the idols in the Kabah. You dont know wether you are coming or going.

Er no the reason why she gets anoyed is because people ignore her. I cant belive after all thats been said people are asking stupid questions like this....

and making stupid comments like this......

HELLOOOO!!!! Why does the declaration of faith when you become a muslim say "There is only one God Allah". Why did Mohammed smash the idols in the Kabah if he did not introduce the monotheistic point of view.

My good God man this is one of the fisrt things you learn about Islam when you become muslim, then you wonder why lil is getting annnoyed

Islamic declaration of faith

Say: "Ash-hadu an la ilaha ill Allah." (I bear witness that there is no diety but Allah.)

What I meant was that the idea of one God was going way before Muhammed.

Well what was the point of bringing that up? We know that! Obvously he introduced it to the Arabs and that what we are refering to.....er correction enforced on the Arabs.

No, the Arabs already were introduced to that before Muhammad. There were Jewish Arabs way before Muhammad.

Yeah I know, but obvously im refering to the pagans. They didnt accept one god until Mohammed forced it on them.

He didn't force it. He just cut off anyone's head who didn't agree with it. 🙂

Practicalyl every religon throught history has forced its beliefs on others. They don't grow to that size because of nicety. Why, then is this just an Islam bash-fest? because it shouldn't be.

As I've said, the problem is with fundamentalism. People need to realize that there was a historical context to his actions. The average Muslim does not go around raping people because they understand this. Its not a flaw with Islam, its a flaw with fundamentalism.

Specer is HEAVILY crticised. And what are these "scholars" agreeing with? Of course he has to have some basis in reality, but he's not credible, he works for a non-credible organization.

Of course he's going to say SOME things that are correct, and I would agree with him on some points. Spencer said tha the reason radical Islam is so attractive is that it appeals "to many people who are disgusted with the current relativism and amorality of the Western world." Now I would agree with that, but Spencer also draws a hell of a lot of wrong conclusions and is in many ways a xenophobic fearmonger, as is his corporation.

Not at all, I've pm-er her repeatedly about her "arguements" In response she rarely presents counterpoints, she simply attacks me personally. We are all effing annoyed. I'm pissed too. Boo-hoo, thats part of forum life. I've repeatedly stated my problems with ther arguement. NONE of them have been addressed.

What like Buddhism, Toaism? Zoarastranism (sorry cant spell it), Hawian Shaminism. Even the Vikings didnt force their beliefs on other people. ( they just raped and pillaged)

Yes it should. I cant remember the last person who was killed who said something about Christanity.

Like what? Mohammed decided it was his way or nothing else, thats the context.

No but there are other issues as well for example how you treat women and integrating into society. Islam does not encourage muslims to integrate because this is not what Mohammed did. The things that Mohammed did in the past rub off onto msulsims today.

You want people killed because of Christianity? Northern Ireland's the place to look, and whether you remember that unpleasantness or not, it's hardly in the distant past.

I dont know about that. Are they not fighting because certain people were kicked off their land?

Weren't Palestinans also kicked off their land?

And yes, YOU have addressed many of my points 🙂.
