Openion about Islam?

[Gipper]

In Arabic, Islam means submission to the will of Allah , and this comes from the root word Salam, which means peace.
This is cognate to the Hebrew word for peace, Shalom, ironically, since Hebrew and Arabic are both Semitic languages .
It's true that Muslims have slaughtered an enormous number of people in the past .1400 years, but Christianity hasn't exactly been a religion of peace,either , and Christians have slaughtered an enormous number of people,too ; Jews,Muslims , not ot mention Christians of different denominations slaughtering each other, such as Catholics and Protestants .
The whole history of the world has been filled with people of different religions slaughtering each others for the most trivial and stupid reasons .

The same old leftist canard....Christians do it too...

STOP living in the past. Live in the present and try to educate yourself instead of accepting lies from the left.

Please name one incident comparable to the many slaughters committed by Muslims, that was committed by Christians RECENTLY...not during the Crusades, or the Middle Ages, or after discovery of the New World, etc..... JUST NAME ONE. BET YOU CAN'T.

Did Jesus tell us to kill and enslave non-Christians?

Christians came out of the dark ages. Not so with the Muslims. Islam isn't just a religion, it's also a form of Government. You can't separate the two. They want to rule the world (Caliphate) and have everyone "submit" to Allah. Don't think that's going to happen. Even the pansy left might get mad enough to fight against that or die trying.

I don;'t have time to post citatations but most wars are caused by politicians. Of the wars that are caused by some sort of philosophy most are caused by Islam (about 50%) and the next highest amount by atheists. chrsitianity accounts for a small minority and most of them are in defense. I don't exactly remember but it is either that a very small percent of wars are caused by christianity or that none are. If you google the encyclopedia of war and christianity then you too can find the real stats.

Salem Mass. how about since 1800 instead.

Since 1950, there is not one incident comparable to what radical Islam has been doing with regularity.

It does not matter what we do...
Like I said before.. on this board and many others.. America stands in the way of Muslim world domination.(THAT IS WHAT THEY BELIEVE) Whether we are a free nation or a dictatorship doesn't matter because there are no apologies we can make, no treaties we can sign, no amount of Jews we can kill, no abject deeds we can perform, no concessions we can offer that will make them happy other than our abject surrender and submission to Allah. Then, perhaps, they won't be angry. Then, perhaps, they won't hate and try to kill us.

Yes, submission to Allah is the only thing that will satisfy them. Its their definition of peace.

That islam is peaceful is one of satan's biggest lies.

So you're a godbotherer like old mark.
Will you be including Bible quotes and instructing us on our evil ways also?
I'm gonna have some fun with you.

 

[Gabriel_Bell]

That islam is peaceful is one of satan's biggest lies.

Explain to us why the Biblical "God" character allowed Mohammad, a false prophet, to convert most of the entire population of Jesus' country to his false religion, please.

Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire, and from that date until the early 1800's, it was a violent religion as well.

 

[Kary O'kee]

you're ignoring arab history. AND you do realize that Islam was created by mohammad around 650AD, @600 years after christ's resurrection. and plagiarized. God allows free will...and the islamists did not convert peacefully. People were forced to convert OR DIE. And lastly...that was the catholic church that did that. However the catholic church was instrumental in stopping the islamic spread into Europe. Otherwise you'd be poking your ass up the air 5 times a day.

 

[Gabriel_Bell]

Could God have prevented Mohammad from successfully converting the Holy Land to Islam?

You seem to think that Mohammad , this one illiterate merchant, converted millions of people by force. Are you saying that All mighty God did not have the power to do anything because Islam was "plagiarized"? Christianity also plagiarized rather a lot from Judaism as well

If God were omnipotent, he certainly could have done so.

So, either God is not omnipotent, or he did not care.

So which was it?

The priests, bishops and popes did not defeat Islam in Europe, this was done by actual soldiers. And the Muslims conquered Europe up the the Pyrenees and up to the border of Hungary.

Human levitation is impossible. Don't be stupid.

and plagiarized. God allows free will.

Free will and empathy etc evolved with humans and no god involved. That's a fact.

..and the islamists did not convert peacefully. People were forced to convert OR DIE. And lastly...that was the catholic church that did that. However the catholic church was instrumental in stopping the islamic spread into Europe. Otherwise you'd be poking your ass up the air 5 times a day.

Don't quote the Catholics then forget about the atrocities they committed over the years. They are not a reference for anything.

God allows free will.

God, it claims in Genesis, "hardened the heart of Pharoah" so that he would not allow the Hebrews to leave Egypt. So, he took away Pharoah's free will, then, did he not?
