Pope pisses off Muslims

Discussion in 'Politics' started by Pekelo, Sep 15, 2006.

  1. How arrogant.
    Guess you haven't read the Qu'uran lately.


    "2.90 – 2.91: Evil is that for which they have sold their souls -- that
    they should deny what Allah has revealed, out of envy that Allah
    should send down of His grace on whomsoever of His servants He
    pleases; so they have made themselves deserving of wrath upon wrath, and there is a disgraceful punishment for the unbelievers".

    ""9.5" : So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them"

    "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His apostle
    and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be
    murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off"

    Too bad all your brothers are so into taking this stuff literally.

    Maybe you want to translate that into Tongan in order to make it fit your argument?

    Oh yeah, what am I talking about - you'll just pretend you never said it and launch into some other bit of disinformation and evasion.

  2. I never said "fall all over ourselves to grovel." I said those who <i>blame</i> the religion, and those who foolishly think military action is some solution (beyond a very limited point) will play right into the hands of the radical tacticians. Not doing those two things does not equal groveling or appeasement.

    Like it or not, no military can stop the power of a galvanized populace. Especially when the military itself is causing that galvanization by atrocities like Haditha and Abu Ghraib. And let's not forget that the whole reason the mullahs of Iran are so popular today is because the U.S. tried to overthrow their <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Ajax>democratically elected government</a> half a century ago. Given the last 50 years of U.S. foreign policy in the M.E. and in Latin America, there is a lot of mistrust brewing that will undermine any military effort.

    I agree with the spirit of what you said to the extent that "they" applies to radical Muslims, who do not, and should never, have any hold over our liberties. But there is no one Muslim world. There are lines of common sense to not cross when dealing with other M.E. populations -- of sovereignty and respect -- that should be carefully observed out of pragmatism.

  4. Beaten and bruised in another thread, lacking any creativity beyond copycat level, stu, the adult copies and pastes in a non related thread.

    Classic stuism...

  6. Sheesh.

    By the way stu, you know Z has completely run out of arguments when he starts responding using images and cutting and pasting your post and using it as a reply. This is his way of saying 'I've run out of evasions, I'm not having fun any more and I want to change the subject'.

  9. lmao... see? I swear to you, that was not planned!!!

    I am quoting this just in case he tries to delete it.

    Also, how interesting... Z, you always simply click 'quote' and then reply to posts with the entire text of the post you are responding to given underneath your response. I have asked you in the past to edit when you are quoting a long post, in situations when the entire text of the post is unnecessary. You responded with an image of a pink bunny, I believe.

    But here... guess what!! In the post directly above this one, you left the word 'Sheesh' in but then you cut out the rest of it. Now why on earth is that? This is something you never do.

    Hit a little too close to home, did it?
