As a result of the heathen polygamy practiced by Muslims, what was notoriously practiced by the Ottoman sultans as soon as they took over, even if their brothers were little children?

And btw: What do you think should happen to someone who steals?

Yes; they are ice cream compared to this torture.

What would be your punishment if the grand poobah finds out you frequent this forum? Would it be fitting?

I suspect that the only reason you find eye gouging to be ‘disgusting and repulsing’ is that Mohammad didn’t authorize it. If he had, you’d heartily approve.

No, I find it disgusting because it is hellish, inhumane punishment only a backward fiend would think about it.
Islam did the world a favour by ending the heathen Christians of Turkey once and for all.

Not even close; Irene was a heathen Christian and had fanatic reasons to treat her son that way.
She wanted to make an example out of him.

Yes?
Obviously the heathens "started to take over the Western Church", and civil wars started in the "Eastern Church" between heathen enthusiasts -like Irene- against non-heathens like her son "Constantine"; thus she made an example out of him by blinding him and turn Christianity in the East to a heathen faith.

Quote:The Christchurch massacre was no surprise looking at the logic and also the mentality of terrorism, and how it acts and serves as the weapon of weak humans with failed ideologies.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christchur..._shootings

That massacre curved a very deep wound in the hearts of Muslims, especially after the mad terrorist shattered the mirage of the innocent and civilized never-making-any-mistake white man, blasting in rage after his ideology faced defeat.

Christianity is the home of savagery, mass murder, torture too.
If it wasn't for the defeats Islam plagued the Christian empire with + the non-theist illumination period that brought secular law to replace the Church's backward ignorance, this savage faith would've remained a power.

Keep using outdate propaganda that everybody got sick from.

But you seem perfectly OK with hellish, inhumane punishments meted out in Muslim cultures. Why is that?

Dont you have to chop the hands off some kid that stole candy, you self-righteous, lying hypocrite?

Is it outdated propaganda that the Ottoman sultans killed their brothers (Mehmed even legalized it)
Is it outdated propaganda that you are the kind of savage that wants to chops off the hands of thieves, if more civilized people would not keep you from doing it?

Noone got sick of the cruelty of Islam, just you, who loves to ignore it.

Dude, your moral compass is so fucked up, its beyond any yardstick. Hope many muslims can read this and recognize what religion can make someone say, and do.

This is 2003, not ancient times.

Quote:A Pakistani man has been sentenced to be blinded by acid after a judge found him guilty of doing the same to his former fianceé.

Mohammad Sajid carried out an acid attack on Rabia Bibi in June after her parents broke off their engagement and gave her hand to someone else.

The judge in the anti-terrorism court in Bahawalpur, a town in central Punjab province, ruled on Friday that the convict be given a matching punishment under the Islamic law of "Qisas".
