Are you having a Scrapheap moment? Lemon curry?

I just came across this: http://siad.wordpress.com/2007/02/22/the-criminal-parts-of-the-koran/

Well, I'm glad that some countries are finally realizing that Islam is a political movement rather than a religious one.

aren't most religious movements political?  historically so, definitely, to one degree or another.  after all, if it wasn't about power, no-one woud get too excited about foisting it on other people.

lemon curry sounds yum, but wtf are you on about?

A while back, Scrapheap spammed the board with those words. I think it was a response of some kind to Calandale, but you'd have to ask him.

And about as clever as most of the responses I get.

oooooh - handbag AND curlers!

anyway, that's not true, and you know it.  snitty evening, dear?  are you hormonal?

[Calandale]

Just playful.

[Lucifer]

blimey - get you.  "skittish", rather than snitty, then?

[Calandale]

skittish? Like a mosquitto.

[Lucifer]

You already are, so I can't make the comment

Yes, but certainly not to the same degree. It isn't an issue of whether or not we can find religion and politics corrupting each other in all parts of the world with every belief system (of course!), but the capacity of core teachings themselves to induce such occurances. Islam is pretty much about taking over the world. It's even their center of morality; if it's good for Islam, it's morally good. There is no consistent moral code (like, say, the ten commandments), and this allows for muslims to easily condone things like terrorism and suicide bombings. There's a reason this doesn't regularly happen in the (largely christian) west.

piffle.  have you actually read any of the Koran?  or know/spoken to any Sufis?  or any muslims, for that matter?

You're quite the little islamophobic, aren't you?

Like I said in the free for all 'Islam is a wicked twisted faith' thread - you're a bit of a wanker on the quiet. Meh, whatever it takes to make you believe your own brand of monotheism is the chosen path eh?
