But when he attacked the Kaaba worship as idolatry, they rose to the protection of their income, and would have done him injury…” What part of that is not sinking in? He was vocal, he did attack the official religion of Mecca, and threatening someone’s income, no matter how idiotic the source, is a...

Our government is viewed as Christian largely because Christianity was semi-universal at the time of the founding. But note all the key differences between our state and all the other Christian states at the time (and since). True. I must say though, founding fathers were surprisingly far sighted. ...

Promised myself i would not make huge posts, but guess i screwed up again. Just didn't see how i could make that smaller and still do the issue justice. Here is something worth watching though. Im sure you guys saw this, but it's awesome. Satan and his followers are wathing close..... http://www.you...

Because this was too much for 1 post... Im rushing like I always do, so i hope this is coherent enough. On aisha and puberty: As i stated before, i only argued the point of her being 9 to be intellectually honest by many who believe she was this young when he married her(i do believe in the high inf...

Ahmed, 65 links instead of simple answers is not necessarily better. I atleast try to make sure if i have an opinion or statement, it has some factual evidence. I thought people should base views on some form of information right? That my statements have fact? We are talking about issues that are n...

When lefists lay into the guy, you know he *****.

I guess kind of relevent to the thread. Interesting how this is all working out though, in how they are taking down these cells. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/11/05/AR2010110502347.html Guys like mubin shaik and muhammed robert heft and others who fight terrorism deserve ...

From that prism, I wouldn't understand my argument, either. :wink: Aggressor: a person , group, or nation that attacks first or initiates hostilities ; an assailant or invader. Hostile: opposed in feeling, action , or character; antagonistic: hostile criticism; characterized by antagonism. Actions ...

Double post.

So Ahmed, it's "different issues" with regard to the stonings, shootings, and punishments for exercising free will? Ok fine they're not 100% linked to his wars, but does that matter? As far as apostasy goes, I'm not going to bring christian JR to task on its punishments because (correct m...

Muhammed just wanted to preach, and supported other religions doing their own thing. He was basically a live and let live guy. Just don't think about apostasy and it's important not to get stoned or shot for sleeping around if the wrong people catch you and invoke some law that apparently isn't cle...

Mohammed went often to the Kaaba, accosted pilgrims, and preached the one god. The Quaraish heard him at first with smiling patience, called him a half-wit, and proposed to send him, at their own expense, to a physician who might cure him of his madness. But when he attacked the Kaaba worship as id...

But he did ask to have power. He's the one who claimed to have divine messages from God, and wouldn't shut up when the local powers-that-be told him to. He led people to believe he was a prophet. He decided to lead them. He drew a line in the sand that the local authorities were guaranteed to cross...

Yesterday, today, and tomorrow. The man was not a prophet, but a fraud and a dictator. Once again, he never ASKED to have power. Never tried to usurp it until the murders, expultions, and sanctions were put on his followers. But condiring jesus is god in human flesh, he is the same god that made Mo...

Please don't stop! This is just too good to miss... Two (very minor) things: The term "dark side of the moon" isn't accurate. The same side of the moon faces the earth all the time, so from here we only see one side (it goes back and forth so we see more than half over time). In relation ...
