New president IRAN: Wipe Israel of face of the earth !
Quote:
Islam is a missionary religion, period. There are very few who would argue with that. And because there is no clear concept of state in Islam, something like a "Political Islam" exists. A missionary religion with a political agenda forms a dangerous mix. Let's wait till the Shabbat is over and The Avon Lady bombards your position with a few smart links... :D |

They don't call it a "mission", but "Salafi jihad". Muslim "missionaries" are currently spreading the good news in the Phillipines, Indonesia (especially Ambon and Bali), Nigeria, Great Brittain, Isreal, Kashmir, the Caucasus and the list goes on and on. Just watch CNN... |

Example: back when I was studying archaeology, a field trip was arranged to Turkey. I didn't get the opportunity to go, but a good friend of mine told me something that stuck: He had been exchanging jokes with some of the locals, and wanted to know what sort of Christian jokes they had (because we have more than plenty Muslim jokes). The local men looked surprised, and a little shocked, and said they would never think to make fun of Christians. They took their faith seriously, and as a consequence, they took other faiths seriously as well. Anything less would be hypocritical. Islam does not - nor did it ever - have a policy to "spread the good word". Islam has become more prevalent in the recent years in the West, this is true, but this is due to Muslim immigration, not any missionary activity. There are precious few converts. |

When Islamists are spreading the Islam violently into neighbouring countries I see that as proof of the missionary element of Islam.
You see it as proof of an agressive policy. In the end the result is the same: Submission of all to the Sharia, so your argumentation is really about semantics. I will spell out the missionary element in Salafi jihad: Islam is the spirit of complete submission to Allah and the Sharia in all spheres of life to form an 'umma' (a Muslim community). The 'dawa' (call to Islam) frees mankind from servitude to other men and delivers men from manmade laws, value systems like democracy and traditions. 'Dawa', call to Islam, to form an 'umma' (Muslim community). It can hardly be more missionary, can it? The real point is that fundamental Islam doesn't accept non-Islamic states, with non Islamic governments holding non-Islamic power and making non-Islamic rules. Islam clearly states that the Sharia is superior to and overrules any national legal system and in Holland our legal system is regulary addressed as "the rule of the suppressors" by Muslim Dutchmen from Arab origine (sorry I don't have the Arab word right now). That's why Islam is having great difficulties being a minority religion in a secular state. That's also why Islam acknowledges a clear difference, or antithesis, in this world between 'dar al-Islam' (the land or nation of Islam) and 'dar al-kufr' (the land or nation of infidels). Where ever the borderline is there are two 'subversions' of 'dar al-kufr', the 'dar al-suhl' (the land or nation of the treaty) when there is a temporary break in fighting and the 'dar al-harb' (the land or nation of conflict). It's all pretty black and white for fundamental Islam. That's why president Ahmadinejad statement was strictly adhering to fundamental and political Islam in his statement and can hardly be dropped or excused by fundamental Muslims. I read that you call a country with a Christian majority a Christian country compared to a country with a Muslim majority a Muslim country. You are making a mistake with such a comparison. Christianity almost everywhere (apart from for instance Greece) knows the division between State and Church. America is a secular state, with equal rights for any religion, whether or not the majority of Americans is Christian. Traditional and cultural habits like saying "God bless America" and swearing an oath on the Bible are not proof of America being a Christian nation, but proof of its Christian heritage. Such equal treatment of religions does not exist in Muslim countries, because - again - there is a strong political (=power) component in fundamental Islam. That's why there are many discriminatory rules against other religions in Muslim countries, even in countries like Indonesia and Turkey... |
Just hopping in every couple of days now, I see this thread and it makes we start thinking about writing a long essay again on the history of Islam in the first two hundred years after Muhammad's death, and the outbrake of still-standing orthodoxy in the time after that. Just to clean some of the very dangerous and potentially culturally suicidal illusions some people here expressed about the "non-expansive" and "tolerant" nature of Islam. Islam by heart and core of it's own religious self-definition is neither tolerant, nor non-expansive. And it regards western ratio and christianity (as well as Jewish belief) as exact anti-thesis to itself, that'S why a true dialogue in the meaning of a give-and-take of ideas with both "partners" on the same eye-level is simply impossible and a Western folly that loves to babble with itself in an endless, narcistic monologue. As a matter of fact I see Islam - in a historical context as well as from a perspective of social commands - as a militant, totalitarian ideology that poses a very strong claim for the right of sole reigning and forcing other to surrender to it. The historical events during and after Muhammad's life are telling a very clear language here. It is not enough to read the koran to learn aboiut Islam, kno0wuing it's history is far more important (although Islam itself rejects the need to accept that there is a changing, flowing history). Although I may have given the impression in the past that I defended Islam - I do not, quite the opposite, I fight against it, as far as the spreading of Islam in the Western cultural sphere is concerned, because it is totally incomatiable with the western developement of mental and rational traditions and our concepts of individuality and freedom (or "democracy", for that reason). I just defended the right of foreign people to live to their liking in their own places, wether it be the arabs in arabia or the Persians in Iran, who are about to raise a first-class world entertainment program with their new president, it seems :x ). but we have no reason to welcome Islamc habits in our own communities, if we do so, it will try not stay as a guest, but to become master in the hoiuse. This is it's declared mission and self-perception. And this is very dangerous for our own cultural identity that is already heavily wounded by excessive materialsim that created a spiritual vacuum in which Islam now willingly flows into, much like it did in the social conditions of Arabia in the 7th century. The historic parallels are stunning. The West is already highly vulnerable due to it's cultural falldown, it is bad advise to play around with Islam in such times.
Hm, but I do not want to get engaged in an ongoing discussion about this. Maybe I just write a summarizing essay on history and post it here the next days. |

So, when you get a "moderate" Muslim that condemns any part of Jihad, the local Imam issues a fatwah against the apostate (a Muslim who turns away from Islam, for which it carries a sentence of death in the Koran). The "moderates" don't speak up because they will be executed, and likely a portion of their family. Not just in Egypt or Pakistan, but right here in the good old USA. Collective punishment works (and collective rewarding), which is why Europe wanted it banned in all of their international treaties. We are dealing with 1300 years of a selective breeding program, and I'm not even remotely joking. This same kind of mentality is why the Muslims are raping women in Darfur. It's just the way you waged Jihad back in the 700's AD, and it's been working for them ever since. So, there's three issues here of why the moderates don't condemn Muslim aggression, and these are not far-fetched or trivial: 1. The distributed Jihadist structure in every mosque in the world. You executioner could be anyone. 2. Collective punishment, and in some cases, collective rewarding (Saudia Arabia has given billions of dollars to the families of suicide bombers, making many "families" a suicide bomber factory). 3. 1000 year selective breeding program. The people who protest are killed, just like when all those University kids in Iran were protesting and the moral police went through beating and shooting them. |
All violent forms of Islam gotta be outlawed as fascism and racism - in a nutshell. Russia is dealing with it in Chechnya - vakhabism and sheriah law. If something's not done to prevent it from spreading - France, UK, Germany and other countries will end up with their own checnhyas, lead by these very fanatical bastards of human beings, who all cluster into groups for greater strength, and are like cockroaches and parasites. They will use our own freedom system to say what they like, and get a result they want, while we'll stand and be happy because by allowing them to speak we protected our freedom of speech. Isn't this absolutely rediculous?? But it's what's happening!

Kissaki - what you are saying is pointless because these people don't listen to reason. It's all okey dokey if they were a civilized breed, but the problem is these people seem to behave, preach and act like animals, and they deserve an appropriate treatment.
Go to Saudi Arabia, Syria, Iran, and say Christianity is good, ask them to give you reason why Israel isn't, etc, have a civilized conversation. Than tell us about it... I suspect you never will, because you can't talk to those people. Sorry, it's such a different culture and mentality, that we are better off just buying their oil and not going there, and not letting them into europe. They are a very jealous bitter racist people who want nothing good for you. Why do you keep defending them is beyond me. A good thing is to see people actually speaking out about this probelm and not buying into this whole 'Islam is peaceful religion' crap, that's shoved down our throats just to 'prevent' some potential 'revolution'. Stop hiding the head in the sand about this issue like an ostridge... they might put the road there. |
When you are in conflict with a country or a difference in thinking there really is no separation of good bad guys and bad bad guys. ie:
Axis vs Allies Catholics vs Protestants and so on. If I was an American and you were German you were the enemy period. If I was Catholic and you were Protestant you were the enemy period. If you were a nazi and I was a jew I was an enemy period. In this case if I'm western and you are an islamic what does that make you? And that is what the world is coming to. Islam uses freedom as a weapon. Send Billy Graham to Saudi Arabia or Syria and see how long he would live. |

Furthermore, I'd like you to think on the following: How many symbols of Christianity have been attacked by Muslim radicals? The answer is none. What they have attacked are symbols of capitalism and Western power. It's not our religion they hate, it's our culture. You may counter with such examples as the Taliban destruction of Buddhist statues, but they would still not attack Christianity. Quote:
