'Religion of Peace' attacks in the news.

[samir]

There are no Christian scriptures that advocate the killing of infidels. The Quran however does advocate that.

Are you saying Hitler wasn't a Christian? I think you've just shown you don't understand the no true Scotsman fallacy. There are over 1 billion Muslims and 99.999% of them aren't killing anyone. Are they all disobeying Islamic teaching by being peaceful? If I go to several mosques and ask the person in charge whether Muslims should kill infidels will they all say yes? If so, why aren't more Muslims killing infidels?

I think it's more likely all these terrorists aren't Muslims anymore than "Christian" terrorists were Christians which means your posts probably amount to slander perhaps motivated by a hatred of Muslims due to prejudice.

I have said it before: I don't hate Muslims. I hate Muslim terrorists and their apologists.

Do you hate Christian terrorists? If so, then terrorism, not religion, is the problem so why mention their religious identity?

 

[Steve Petersen]

Do you hate Christian terrorists too? If so, then terrorism, not religion, is the problem so why mention their religious identity?

Because THEY do. You are making the moral equivalency argument. There is none.

 

[samir]

Why aren't you condemning Christian terrorists and telling us Christianity isn't a religion of peace because Christians killed millions of Jews and bombed building in terrorists attacks.

I don't know what you mean by moral equivalency. My argument is that terrorism is against Christian and Islamic teaching so anyone who is a terrorist is not a Christian or a Muslim.

Rakhine Ethnics, Hindus Flee Attacks in Northwest Myanmar’s Rakhine State

Seven killed as Bangladesh police raid extremist hideout

'Shabaab' attackers behead 4 in Lamu

 

[samir]

because, what isl*am teach to the people is to kill the other who are not isl*am

Then why are 99.9% of Muslims peaceful?

 

[samir]

Because THEY do. You are making the moral equivalency argument. There is none.

When terrorists identify as Christians do you make sure to tell everyone they are Christian terrorists?

 

[Hieronymus]

If Hitler wasn't a Christian then terrorists aren't Muslims. Who are you to say 99% of Muslims aren't Muslims?

Do you know what a non sequitur is?
It's when something doesn't follow the previous.
This is a great example.

So, anyway, get acquainted with what Christ and Islam teaches.
This should prevent you from making hollow PC statements.

 

[Hieronymus]

Then why are 99.9% of Muslims peaceful?

Probably because God gave humans a conscience.
And also because people fear losing their freedom or their lives.

This does not change the fact that Muhammad taught terror and violence as a means to establish Muslim dominance.

 

[Hieronymus]

One thing that is perhaps still not obvious for others (although i have stated it before):
I have serious problems with Islam, not with Muslims.
To me Islam is what was 'revealed' to Muhammad and what he taught, and that's what i have serious problems with.

And I can understand that. You identify as Christian. HOWEVER, that doesn't give you carte blanche to false accuse a group of people with the actions of a few. We have our own history as Christians that leaves a bad smell, does that give others the same reasons to lump us all into a similar box?

When you read what i wrote you'll see i don't lump Muslims together.
My problem is with Islam, not Muslims.
I have to admit though, that i have always dismissed all of 'Christianity' because of the rotten fruits it bares throughout history.
But that was before i seriously looked into religions.
But seeing as how many Muslims are dedicated Muslims (compared to Christians) i was inclined to believe they 'have it right'.
Fortunately fundamentalist Muslims are not representative for Muslims in general. But they do follow Muhammad's teachings.

No that's exactly what your doing. You have a problem with Islam, but when presented with some actual fact that the majority of the planet's muslims are peaceful, you jump to the same No True Scotsman fallacies as samir was posting.

You own studies either weren't that in depth or you are choosing to ignore the actual reality in light of what you "discovered". I follow christ teachings, so did Torquemada. Does that make me the same as Torquemada? or You the same as him.

Try not to deal in blanket statements if you truly want to not represent the whole as something it's not.
