Er, no. It's the word of God.
It started off (if I remember correctly) that someone said that they are nervous - and afraid - of Muslims and their intentions.
You replied that Islam "is not inherently antagonistic to the West" or words to that effect.
I challenged that by quoting the statements about the Great Satan and you replied that only SOME islamic leaders have said that after being provoked by the US.
Then you quoted verses from the Quran which say it is wrong to take human life EXCEPT under certain justifiable conditions.
I then said that this is what gives those leaders we spoke about the legal islamic authority to kill. And that WHEN this is justified is a matter of interpretation and opinion.
Your response is that it is the word of God.
SO the final conclusion must be that it is wrong for someone to kill somebody EXCEPT when God says so.
Which brings us full circle - conclusion: the West would do well to fear Islam.

Mods, cover your eyes and plug your ears: this is a site for an organization designated by the US State Dept. as "terrorist" because they made some scrap metal without killing anyone in Jordan in 1970. I provide it solely for gen's benefit:

But the PFLP is no more terrorist than El Nino.
And what in Ohio would I be passionate about? I'm very passionate about some US issues, such as health care and socialism. If that means anything. Nothing in particular here in Ohio catches my interest, except for the huge KKK base in the south of the state.

2. California is falling apart right now. My kids would be unable to get a good education. Of course I wouldn't move there.

Originally posted by CalJustYeah, whatever. Iran would be nice. I'm not that passionate about Afghanistan ... it's not like they aren't run by US-loving Sunni extremists.
Ever thought of moving to Jordan - or Iran - or Afganistan??
Put your feet where your convictions are!
EDIT: Extremist conservatives, no less.
