A matter of honor - Norwegian Muslims form protective ring around synagogue

[calfoxwc]

I just don't get the conflicting sides of the Koran.

It's not the Quran that is conflicted. Its some people that are. Thanks for posting this, though.

[The Cysko Kid]

No the koran is quite clear.

[WalterWhite]

Osiris is a muslim so I'm sure he'll defend this savagery:

 

"The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger 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 on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement" - Quran 5:33

[calfoxwc]

Os - what I'm asking is, what is the understanding that certain verses most certainly

do not mean what the extremists take them to mean?

 

That's all.

Same as the bible?

As usual Walter is taking quotes out of context. Since others have dealt with this before I will not except to post this link:

Cal, I think the extremists are either really stupid or know the verses don't mean what they claim they mean. They just try to bend the meaning to support their actions.

Note that there are no males forming a ring around this European church...only westernized females.

 

Also European churches should not require muslims to form a ring around them.

[The Cysko Kid]

Osiris are you a Shia?

[WalterWhite]

Anyone who says you're translating a religious message wrong usually has an agenda.

 

Much like the bible, The Quran is a hate filled book full of pedophiles, savages, and violence.

 

It's like the ultimate manual for savages. It should be renamed "Savagery for Dummies"

Sounds like they need a New Quran that just ignores the Old Quran

I see wut u did there.

[The Cysko Kid]

If there were a new koran that completely refuted the old one the world would probably be better off. Are we going to pretend that Islam isn't the major religious problem we have the world today?

[WalterWhite]

Islam is pathetic.

 

The fact this many people actually believe this horse shit is vomit inducing

I am an atheist. That said, you can have multiple interpretations of the bible yet no one ends up dead over a misunderstanding. Just throwing that out there.

 

Most muslims are peaceful but that does not mean that the Quran promotes peace.

An Atheist who believes in spirits. Interesting. How do you explain that? Not to be combative or anything.

That is the thing. I don't know what it was so I won't even say for certain it was a ghost or spirit. I am hoping that at some point there is some logical explanation for it. If not, I guess it will be a mystery to me till I die.

I'm an agnostic. That way all my bases are covered. I don't necessarily believe in god but then again I don't necessarily not believe either.

Is your favorite soft drink Dr Pepper?

[The Cysko Kid]

Yeah yeah I saw it.

[The Cysko Kid]

One thing is for sure I absolutely in no way believe in the divinity of jesus. I can accept there might be a god but Jesus is not it.
