I love how people pin the violence on religion.. Whether or not there was religion, there will always be another form of segregation that groups will use as a reason for their violent acts, something natural to humans. Humans are the problem, segregation contributes, religion is wrongfully accused. I'm not religious but I've noticed all the religion bashing here at ATS, but what can you expect from a site like this?

Bukhari (11:626) "The Prophet said, "No prayer is harder for the hypocrites than the Fajr and the 'Isha' prayers and if they knew the reward for these prayers at their respective times, they would certainly present themselves (in the mosques) even if they had to crawl." The Prophet added, "Certainly I decided to order the Mu'adh-dhin (call-maker) to pronounce Iqama and order a man to lead the prayer and then take a fire flame to burn all those who had not left their houses so far for the prayer along with their houses."
Muhammad orders his men to burn alive those who do not present themselves at the mosque for prayer.

33:26 He also brought down their allies among the people of the scripture from their secure positions, and threw terror into their hearts. Some of them you killed, and some you took captive.
33:27 He made you inherit their land, their homes, their money, and lands you had never stepped on. God is in full control of all things.

33:26 Those People of the Scripture who allied with the clans (despite having a treaty with you), have been taken out from their forts and strongholds, and panic has struck their hearts. Some of them were killed in the battle and others were taken prisoners of war. (The Jewish tribe, Bani Quraizah had violated the treaty, although another Jewish tribe, Bani Nadir of Khyber had also been among the confederates).

"The apostle of Allah imprisoned the Qurayza in Medina while trenches were dug in the market-place. Then he sent for the men and had their heads struck off so that they fell in the trenches. They were brought out in groups, and among them was Kab, the chief of the tribe. In number, they amounted to six or seven hundred, although some state it to have been eight or nine hundred. All were executed. One man turned to his people and said, 'It matters not! By God's will, the children of Israel were destined for this massacre!’ Then he seated himself and his head was struck off... ...Now the apostle distributed the property of the Banu Qurayza, as well as their women and children, to the Muslims, reserving one-fifth for himself. Every horseman received three shares, one for himself and two for his steed, and every foot soldier one share. There were thirty-six horses present on the day of the Qurayza. The apostle dispatched an emissary to Najd with the prisoners, to barter them as slaves in exchange for horses and camels. The apostle of Allah selected one of the Jewish women, Rayhana, for himself, and she remained with him as his slave until she died. He had suggested marriage to her, that she should wear the veil (to separate her from all other persons, as his wives did), but she replied, 'Rather allow me to remain thy slave; it will be more easy for me, and for thee.'"

You make no sense in your post in regards to what I've said. That reads village idiot. It's ok though,. The western world gives people like that disability support pensions. You'll be ok. And, sigh, I really hate pointing out the obvious but you're obviously "special" so just for you I'll point out that I'm not christian but I do see how they are being targeted by muslim extremists.
You have a lot of gall to declare someone an idiot. I read the original post that was regarding "it is a great religion". You took it out of context and manipulated it so you could have a point to argue. The fact that you made it so obvious says a lot about your skills. I'm sure you are not aware of this but all true village idiots believe to the core of their being that someone else is the village idiot.
I also don't see how you disregard the point about the IRA blowing people up. Here is what you said:
But it's a major factor supporter of all that is filth. Also The IRA wanting England out of Northern Ireland isn't the same as musilm extremists wanting all Christians converted or dead. It's not hard to see the difference. Also whenever the IRA would kill innocents they would make a public apology not that that resolved them of their wrongs.
You did a marvelous job of misunderstanding yet again. All those points you brought up are irrelevant. You either get blown up or you don't and what the group says after the fact does not matter. It also doesn't matter why they blow people up. Fact is people are still getting detonated.
I'll have the village make up a DUNCE cap for you. It should fit well.

Yes I did say that and a bunch of other stuff. I am not sure why you could only read one sentence but trust me, context is everything.
Try reading it again and read the ENTIRE post this time.
I never called it a great religion. Actually you did. You had to read my whole post to get that though. I read it. What is your issue?
I gave a link to your entire post. What more do you want?edit on 26-12-2011 by steveknows because: (no reason given)

You to demonstrate an ability to comprehend the meaning of the words therein I guess. I am not really sure I want anything from you. You do not understand my post. You think I said things I did not because you are apparently not that quick. I want nothing from you. If you want to have a discussion though you cannot just link to random posts of mine and then ask me to defend positions I have yet to take.
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND. I CAN MAKE IT MORE SIMPLE IF YOU TELL ME WHERE YOU GET LOST.

The "radical" muslims will hunt you down and kill you!

All that just to call me "village idiot?"
Wow.
Noticing the stars my post got and taking that as a clue as to how many people understood what I wrote as opposed to you would suggest otherwise.
Usually the only guy in the village unable to understand a simple statement...he is the idiot.
Just clearing that up for you.

Oh, come'on now, this was just probably a misunderstanding from those wacky fun loving and oh so tolerant islamists.

No surprise to me that most liberals on here say its the religious persons fault, not the murderers/terrorists responsibility.

Maybe we ignored the suicide bomber part because he never mentioned it in the first place. You did.
And Christians have been well known for blowing up Christians in Northern Ireland.

I get your point. I really do. But do think that if Christians were blowing people up that the muslims would be saying "non christians who call themselves christians but aren't really christians because they're not acting like christians blew up more people today" ? Is 90% of the world anti Christ or is it that they don't follow Christ? There's a difference. And how many of those other religions kill Christians because they're christians? I'd like to point out here that it's not just Christians either. These fundamentalists are anti everything but islam.
The point is to fight the terrorists not the average islamic joe but some on here are making out that to be against the terrorists is to be against people who are muslim. Kind of puts them in the same basket as the terrorists. Those on here who condone the terrorists acts are deliberatley making out that to hate the terrorists is to hate a muslim for being a muslim. And that's their mission on this site.edit on 26-12-2011 by steveknows because: (no reason given)
