No worries then ! Because it has been by no means a steady stream of offences and I'll wait for you to demonstrate otherwise since you're making that claim.
Your contention was that Islam=radical Islam, so it certainly IS relevant TO THIS DISCUSSION that I can point to multiple illustrations which gainsay your contention, Ibn al-Araibi being one of them.
1. So you don't like the image of God that he has.
Recalling that Islam is 700 years younger than Christianity, need I remind you of some of the writings of the Church Fathers?
Note the riotously descriptive passages of hell in them.
2. Incorrect: the most reiterated message in the Koran is about man's obligation to submit to God.
Are you done yet, lathering up against Muhammed ? How on earth do you come by such vitriol against a man who has so little connection with you ?
I'm beginning to think you believe your own hyperbole.
*The youngest wife Muhammed obtained was nine, not six.
*I also believe you are mistaken about his converting any Arabs at swordpoint, but I'll have to check that.
I've never heard most of the other items in your inventory against him ...is it remotely possible that you could provide an unbiased citation for them ?
Hindi is the language, not the religion.
And please don't utilize the shabby tactic of distortion here. My comment was about economics - not violence - as anyone can see by reading my post above.
You had mentioned the unfortunate economic circumstances of people in Muslim countries and I pointed out that India is poorer than they ...even though India is NOT primarily Muslim.
Is that so ?
Then I suppose you are unaquainted with "The Golden Age of Spain" which is a common term denoting the most renowned era in Spanish history ...which also happened to be the most peaceful and untroubled time for the Jews in Spain - thanks to the generous amount of respect shown to them by the Muslims who ruled Spain then.
Once again I challenge you to show me this history in which you claim there has been "a steady stream of offences" against non-Muslims by Muslims for 1400 years.
Quite plainly it cannot be found; except possibly in some revisionist history book used at your Bible college.
That's what you have to say in reply to my remark about polygamy among the Israelites?
Recall:
*Rachael AND Leah
*The wiveS of David
*Solomon's wiveS.
Yes,
it IS "right" that the Israelites were polygamous also.
Is that something you have overlooked in your studies ?
Since you are offering, I would be satisfied with your simply providing evidence of that absurd claim that Muslims have steadily attacked non-Muslims for 1400 years.
Mature of you to say that, palerider.
Since you seem concerned about what is attractive on an internet debate board, let me suggest that *rigorous institutional hatred of an entire population* might not function for you as much of a chick-magnet, either.
Whatever you might think of Muhammed, it appears certain that you have dispensed with the 'questioning' of those who follow that religion, and gone right on to conviction and sentencing.
You keep saying that. I look forward to watching you substantiate it, in the face of significant evidence to the contrary.
