From what I did read it seemed to me exactly like any other religious
book, including the christian bible, reads: lots of "we're the only
true religion" and the lord is going to smite down those who didn't
think so.
One difference....the Quran doesn't say wait for the lord.
Neither does the bible.
It strikes me that gods in most religions in the west smite
down lots of people too.
Since you've apparently read it, and I have admitted that I couldn't
wade through it, why don't you tell me? How much hatred is in the
Qu'ran? What passages did you personally find the most bothersome?
9:5. Then when the Sacred Months (the 1st, 7th, 11th, and 12th months
of the Islamic calendar) have passed, then kill the Mushrikun
{unbelievers} wherever you find them, and capture them and besiege
them, and prepare for them each and every ambush. But if they repent
and perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat {the Islamic ritual prayers}),
and give Zakat {alms}, then leave their way free. Verily, Allah is Oft-
Forgiving, Most Merciful.
:So we could anticipate that these 'true believers' would not kill
:during the months which correspond to whatever months these are in our
:calendar.
Well, that is reassuring.
It should be, as all Muslims simply do what their bible tells them to
do. That was the whole reason to fear this passage, right?
:If they're going to follow their religion, they should
:follow it.
Spoken like a true islamist.
It seems, 2pid, that these scary Muslims are "directed by god" to blow
people up. So these people, eager to please their god, blow people up.
They must do so, as it says so in the Qu'ran. This was your whole
point.
Yet all these "true" Muslims can't be bothered to blow people up when
"god directed" them to. So are they doing it because god told them to
or not?
I'll look at your (and other like-'minded' people) "redneck" logic at
the end of this post.
: It strikes me that many aren't, just as many don't follow
:the bible of whatever religion they belong to.
That ****es Osama off too.
Why would you assume that "****es me off"? And what has this to do
with anything?
2pid, no offense, but your one-liners are weak and boring. Was the
kennel closed today or something? ;-)
How is it that many, if not most, Muslims generally live peaceably,
while others blow themselves up? Is it possibly an issue with
interpretation?
So they say....but how to interpret 9:5 in an
acceptable way?
:I guess the same way that I'd interpret Joshua 23.
Like an atheist?
That certainly does give me a bias.
Did you read Joshua 23? These Muslims are simply fulfilling biblical
prophesy. You should be happy. Rapture is near!
LOL!
-----Redneck 'Logic'----
From your beloved JihadWatch blog, 2pid:
The history of Europe from 711 (the invasion of Spain) to 1689 (the
siege of Vienna) is one long Muslim siege, with Europe pushing the
front line forward or back according to strength and good fortune. But
the siege as such was not broken until the decisive war that ended in
1714, in which the power of Turkey to threaten the Habsburg lands (and
consequently the heartland of Europe) was broken for ever; and even
so, the cruel pirates of Barbary continued to raid European coasts in
search of light-skinned slaves, until the early nineteenth century. If
this depth of history does not teach us that the normal relationship
between Islam and the rest of the world is war, nothing will. Quotes
from this or that Muslim authority are rather beside the point: they
will only convince those who can be convinced, but they will simply
fly past the large class of deluded pacifists like water off a duck's
back.

Scary, huh? I think we'd better declare war now. Oh, wait. bushie
already has. LOL!
