Thank you, JB, I will look in on that later when I have a bit more time. I agree more or less with what you say above, and I have no desire to defend the OT particularly, but, I would say that in the OT the exhortations to violence often seem to be contained within an historical context and relating to specific events and groups of people's, for want of better examples, let's say, Hittites, Canaanites and so on, people that arguably don't even exist now. Unlike in the Quran, where exhortations to hatred and war against infidels seems to be boundless and timeless. Maybe this is why we aren't seeing Christian groups the world over butchering non-Christians and screaming alahu Jesu, or alahu Mose, Abraham, whatever. But hey, I'm no bible scholar and I'm not even religious, agnostic, so these are just the musings of an interested agnostic.I am trying to start a thread on the distinctions between Salafi Jihadism and the rest of Islam here. The Root Cause of Our War with Islam; Salafi Jihadism or Wahhabism | US Message Board - Political Discussion ForumYeah, all the abrogation, and the Hadith too, are often very useful to radical Muslims and their apologists. However, it's all there in black and white for those who wish to practice Islam devoutly and literallyThis used to be abrogated as an earlier Mecca period verse, but the Wahhabis have restored it to current status and now use it to preach the slaughter of all us Pagans.Quran 5:51They're reporting now that the 3rd shooter is the brother of Durka Durka Hockmed Mohammed Farook. Figures.
They're reporting the neighbors have been suspicious of these Muslims and their behavior for many weeks prior. But hey....BETTER NOT say anything or you're a racist.
A detective on Fox just reported a POSSIBLE motive was the Muslims were demanding no Christmas event at the workplace....thus the argument...and that these animals did the attack for a violation of their religious feelings. You know.....violated their Islamic Safe Space with a Christmas party.
It's clear now. The left wing "strategy" of dealing with radical Islam....and crime in general....is simply indefensible. It's time people with fucking brains and common sense take charge and take office. And honestly it's time we just stop listening to the left on these issues. Their views on it are becoming to look mentally ill at best....and no flat out suicidal at worst.
I agree. The left prefers to call those that are wary of Muslims racists and bigots and don't seem to notice when Muslims kill Americans. They prefer to blame the victim. They don't seem to have one ounce of common sense.
This guy gets thrown out of a party and comes back with three heavily armed friends and they proceed to kill fourteen and wound another eighteen. I'm sure that scumbag had friends among the dead but he sure didn't let that stop him. Apparently that gun free zone wasn't gun free after all.
I have friends as I'm sure most people do but I could never get a friend, any friend, to kill fourteen people for me. How bout you?
These scumbags were terrorists and every American needs to be wary of every Muslim in America.
That Muslim next door who you thought was a friend wouldn't let that friendship get in the way if he thinks you have insulted his religion.
BTW. If you don't have a gun I highly suggest you get one. You never know. That neighbor might decide he's not your friend after all.
O ye who believe! Take not the Jews and Christians for friends. They are friends one to another. He among you who taketh them for friends is (one) of them. Lo! Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk.so Islam will ALWAYS be a problem for non-Muslims imho. The potential for radicalisation is ever present, and eve if anyone was willing to remove all the hate and exhortation to violence, all that would be left of the Quran is a pamphlet, lol.
But I think the basics of Islam are not much more violent than the Old Testament's books from Joshua to Second Chronicles..
