 I do not say that my interpretation is the only interpretation. But the other interpretation is a very scary one. Look at this, this is scary. Aren’t you scared when you see something like this?
Not particularly, no.  

Quote:Their entire interpretation is fear based. I don’t like approaches that are fear-based. In most of the spiritual traditions that I had the chance to study there is the idea of “awareness of consequences”. If you do or omit to do something, like if you do now sow you plants in the right season, there will be no agricultural produce during the next season. Fear based religious interpretations are more cult-like. People are in a constant state of guilt, fear and lack of love and respect for their own very existence in this material plane in order to make a fearful animal like flock out of the is easy to control and manipulate.
The majority of abrahamism, right there.  

Quote:So you are not entirely wrong when you say that fascism is not really a new invention. But I said. There is little correlation between my way of doing thing and their way of doing things. Smile
Sounds like islam isn't a match for you. It won't matter how much lipstick you put on it - it'll still be the same old pig.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
