See how long you can read before you come to a point where it declares death or eternal damnation for a non-believer. It's usually not more than a page or so, but don't take my word for it.<br /><br />I didn't mention terrorism or extremists or really anything about Muslims in general. I am saying the Quran is a book of hate, which it is, and that it is not divine mandate, which it isn't.<br /><br />The Quran is just another collection of desert prejudice.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02504734487692109101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5721082653718997788.post-24705741264229826012010-11-06T01:36:40.136-04:002010-11-06T01:36:40.136-04:00I will read this tomorrow just putting it up here ...I will read this tomorrow just putting it up here so I will remember....<br /><br />http://haqqani.org.es/Contenidos/jihad.pdfSamuelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06102533726798834757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5721082653718997788.post-5347422470835397392010-11-06T01:32:33.384-04:002010-11-06T01:32:33.384-04:00“Permission (to fight) is given to those on whom w...“Permission (to fight) is given to those on whom war is made, because they are oppressed. And Allah is able to assist them — those who are driven from their homes without a just cause except that they say: Our Lord is Allah.” (22:39-40)<br /><br />“And fight in the way of Allah against those who fight against you, but be not aggressive. Surely Allah loves not the aggressors.” (2:190)<br /><br />“And if they incline to peace, you must also incline to it, and trust in Allah.” (8:61)<br /><br />“If anyone of the idolaters seek your protection, protect him till he hears the word of Allah, then convey him to his place of safety." (9:6).<br /><br />“If they accept Islam, then indeed they follow the right way; and if they turn back, your duty (O Prophet) is only to deliver the message.” (3:20)<br /><br />Hadiths<br />“Beware! Whoever is cruel and hard on a non-Muslim minority, or curtails their rights, or burdens them with more than they can bear, or takes anything from them against their free will; I (Prophet Muhammad) will complain against the person on the Day of Judgment.” <br /><br />"He who believes in God and the Last Day should honour his guest, should not harm his neighbour, should speak good or keep quiet." <br /><br />"Whoever hurts a Non-Muslim citizen of a Muslim state hurts me, and he who hurts me annoys God." <br /><br />***<br /><br />Islamic terrorism is political. As far as I understand Islamic doctrine, and I am no imam, the only time violence is allowed is in self-defense.... and civilians are not allowed to be targeted. <br /><br />http://www.fas.org/man/eprint/islamic.pdfSamuelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06102533726798834757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5721082653718997788.post-22544257541860988822010-11-06T01:21:27.704-04:002010-11-06T01:21:27.704-04:00I remember reading the Qu'ran and at the time ...I remember reading the Qu'ran and at the time didn't find it as offensive as you do.<br /><br />But really, it's just a bad fucking idea. There are something like 1.5 billion Muslims, the majority of whom are basically just people like every other person. Just want to be happy. Just want a decent world for their children. And there was once a time when Islamic culture was scientifically advanced and the most tolerant around. The point I'm making is that there is a lot of douchebaggery in this world. There are a lot of people who just want to impose their will on others or find a reason to make some group an out-group. But we're all just fucking human beings. And we all just want to be happy. And until we learn to respect each other, and learn to talk to each other.... it's the same old brown-eyes/blue-eyes shit (google it, good documentary if you are into social psych and that stuff). <br /><br />Sorry. I'm still going to read your blog. And I'm all for satire, at least for the most part. But I just can't see how something like jizzing on someone else's holy book is going to do anything good for the world, or for anybody. What in the Qu'ran do you find so offensive? Just wondering. There are a few verses that taken out of context seem pretty bloody.... until the context is put in. I haven't read it in a while.... but I don't remember anything terribly awful in it.Samuelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06102533726798834757noreply@blogger.com
