Say Iraq had been an Orthodox Christian country, as it likely would have been if Islam had never been invented, but otherwise not much different (for the sake of the point). They're a troublesome country with fractious tribes ruled over be a secular government headed by a brutal and ruthless dictator. We go in and oust the dictator and the ruling party, most of whom are out on the streets and very unpopular because of the regime they supported. Thousands of them, with military and bureaucratic experience, flee to Syria, another Christian Orthodox country dominated by a sect sympathetic to the religious beliefs of the former ruling party of Iraq, and ruled by an increasingly unpopular brutal monarch. Many of the Iraqi expats join with terrorist groups who provide an outlet for their anger and hatred over being deposed and cast out.

Will they be able to find in the Bible justification for their subsequent terrorist acts? Would they be able to justify them if they were Buddhists? Hindus?

About the only religious groups I would expect to remain peaceful under the circumstances are Jains and Quakers, and they wouldn't have been in that position in the first place.

Your compulsion to excuse islam, and the manner in which you do so, is an embarrassment to islam. It doesn't need your crackpot bullshit. Do islam a favor, and take a break.

I'm blushing..I'm really sorry rythem, but when I see human goats carrying american weapons, my brain tends to ask "where did they get those guns from". I mean, sun tzu's advice is ringing in my head all the time, when I see that nobody profits from the war but the U.S arm dealers I tend to ask myself more and more about the motives of the fighting sides..

Sorry for having a common sense, Rythem. I'm so embarrassed ! I will turn bbc on and listen to Sam asap !!! to become another "mainstream perfect citizen" and not a "conthpeerethy theoritht".

Humans are full of lies and deceit, remember, you yourself believe that one man convinced 2 billion people to believe a lie !
why is Mohammed peace be upon him different than the leaders of today ??

He wasn't.....and that's precisely the problem.

I worry for your soul, you know it's not to late to accept FSM as your lord and savior.  He boiled for your sins.  RAmen

You believe them when you say "I defend Islam" when I speak about the truth in the Middle East !
The terrorist organizations can be crushed in two seconds !! what keeping them alive is the governments, Islam truly has nothing to do with it.

( 256 )   There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion. The right course has become clear from the wrong. So whoever disbelieves in Taghut and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handhold with no break in it. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing.


If Mohammed said this then...what cases do you have ???

Nay_Sayer

No thank you. I prefer my FSM mediam cooked on the grill.

Pocahontas presents a better case.

Here again, we see precisely the problem.  You have a compulsion to defend islam....you don't actually succeed in satisfying that compulsion, rather, you indict it with your idiocy. Go crush the terrorists...I won't hassle you if it takes more than two seconds, shitwit.
