Hitchens asks why you, Amy, need so badly to describe the most unbalanced and murderous expressions of Islam as the most authentic.

I mean, whose side are you on? Why do you want those guys to have that kind of reputation?

The problem with Christianity is too few Christians attempt to emulate Christ.

The problem with Islam is that too many Muslims attempt to emulate Muhammad.

Which reminds me of Stephen Fry on Craig Ferguson's show last night.

I don't remember what African religious man he was talking with, but he said they were discussing homosexuality vs. the rapes and atrocities that were going on in that area. The mans response was that the men were raping little girls, which was natural, you see.

Sick, sad world.

Hitchens asks why you, Amy, need so badly to describe the most unbalanced and murderous expressions of Islam as the most authentic.

In that clip? I don't think he asked that at all.

Here is something that scares me...

When Reverend Paul Hill was executed for murder after shooting abortionists, few Christians protested. They saw it as punishment for his actuons and not his faith, and didn't take it as an attack on then because they didn't identify with him.

What scares me is how so many Muslims take our retaliation against terrorists as attacks on them, as though they identify with jihad.

Terrorist Michael Adebolajo speaks at the scene (scroll down for video):

Transcript:

"The only reason we have killed this man today is because Muslims are dying daily by British soldiers. And this British soldier is one. It is an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. By Allah, we swear by the almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you until you leave us alone.

So what if we want to live by the Sharia in Muslim lands? Why does that mean you must follow us and chase us and call us extremists and kill us?

Rather you lot are extremists. You are the ones that when you drop a bomb you think it hits one person? Or rather your bomb wipes out a whole family? This is the reality. By Allah if I saw your mother with a buggy I would help her up the stairs. This is my nature.

We are forced by the Qur'an, in Sura at-Tawba, through many, many ayat throughout the Qur'an, we must fight them as they fight us. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

I apologize that women had to witness this today, but in our lands women have to see the same.

You people will never be safe. Remove your governments, they don't care about you. You think David Cameron is going to get caught in the street when we start busting our guns, you think politicians are going to die? No it's going to be the average guy, like you and your children.

So get rid of them. Tell them to bring our troops back so we can all live in peace. So leave our lands and we can all live in peace, that's all I have to say. Allah's peace and blessings be upon you"

NOTE: Sura at-Tawba is the 9th chapter of the Koran, which includes the following ayat (verses):

And when the sacred months have passed, then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they should repent, establish prayer, and give zakat, let them go on their way. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful - 9:5

Fight them; Allah will punish them by your hands and will disgrace them and give you victory over them and satisfy the breasts of a righteous people and remove the fury from the believer's hearts. And Allah turns his forgiveness to whom He wills; and Allah is knowing and wise - 9:14-15

Fight those who do not believe in Allah or the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture. Fight them until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled - 9:29

O Prophet, fight against the disbelievers and the hypocrites and be harsh upon them. And their refuge is Hell, and wretched is their destination - 9:73

O you who have believed, fight those adjacent to you of the disbelievers and let them find in you harshness. And know that Allah is with the righteous - 9:123

So we should leave them alone. And, by the SAME token, they should LEAVE US THE FUCK ALONE too.

Problem is, they run out of their own to kill, and so resort to killing the rest of us. UNacceptable in anyone else's book, EXCEPT theirs.

Kill 'em all, I say. Let Allah sort 'em out.

You met and got to talk to Hitchens?? Jealous.

That last photo is a treasure. We toasted him when he passed, sad day. He definitely had a voice.

Jesus was not the founder of Christianity. The term didn't even exist until after his ascension.

> I am simply informed about Islam in a way
> you are not.

Ludicrous, of course... There's no such data. But this response affirms my belief that such matters are, for many, about the sheer animal pleasure of slipping into a pair of crosstrainers, stepping out the street and howling, at the top of one's lungs, 'Wake up, sheeple!!!'

"There's no such data."

I don't know what that means. Come on Crid, you are better than that.

Go blow yourself. Do it on the courthouse square at noon on Tuesday.

Christ you people are full of shit.

That's what you want most out of Islam, right? An excuse to believe in your own fairy tales and idiocies?

"Go blow yourself."

?

"That's what you want most out of Islam, right?"

Who is "you?" What does "you" want most out of Islam?

Crid, are you ok?

Pretty good... Though I'm always appalled by smug, condescending goofballs who, when told that they've presented no evidence, respond by saying 'well of course you see it....'

The emperor isn't even pretending to be clothed.
