I think we're quite capable of doing both in this thread. No one isn't outraged at the fact that another degenerate human from the truly evil organization of ISIS has done something like this. They do this with regularity in Europe and much more frequently to other Muslims in the Middle East. To me, they are a reminder of radical organizations that lash out at those not like them, but even more often, target those among them that don't toe the line of their extremist ethos. It's an organization started by a bloodthirsty criminal, Zarqawi, with religion as its front.
I didn't take that part literally. I Don't care so much for cultural assimilation. Especially the trivial, such as eating pork or wearing a hijab. I'm much more concerned with their lack of assimilation in ordinance with the laws of the nation's they reside in. It's a modern day Trojan Horse. And we've become liberal enough to allow it to happen.
You've mistaken this place as somehow being filled with emotionally weak and intellectually unsound persons, and who are incapable or unwilling to handle various and divergent viewpoints, even white-hot and emotionally charged ones, and thus require separate threads. We are not and do not. I'm at a point where I'd actually prefer that you were merely a troll.
Instead of addressing the actual issue, he projected DC's belief of cultural assimilation within the Islamic community on Jews, who have nothing to do with the discussion.
That is the rub. What is a good or bad Muslim. They claim that they are being good Muslims because they are following the teachings and killing infidels. Couldn't those that don't follow the teachings be considered bad Muslims.
Maybe. But sides will have to be chosen. There is no sideline and the middle is just as dangerous. 1 John 2: 22 Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son. 23 No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also. They say: "(Allah) Most Gracious has begotten a son!" Indeed ye have put forth a thing most monstrous! At it the skies are ready to burst, the earth to split asunder, and the mountains to fall down in utter ruin, that they should invoke a son for (Allah) Most Gracious. For it is not consonant with the majesty of (Allah) Most Gracious that He should beget a son. Not one of the beings in the heavens and the earth but must come to (Allah) Most Gracious as a servant. — Qur'an, sura 19
Maybe its because of the personal invective aimed at me that leads me to such conclusions that many on here are incapable sound argument, are emotionally weak and are incapable of handling divergent viewpoints. Heck in this thread alone I am an asshole and a troll.
Yeah thats the ticket. Real enlightened conversation we have amongst ourselves here. You and others may have not noticed but I dont attack other posters with personal invectives. I dont think I have called anyone lazy, stupid, asshole, or a troll. I DO attack politicians with cute and derogatory names but I keep it civil with other posters. There are lots of RINOs, liberals, libertarians, one trump style populist (but his god let him down) on this site but very few conservatives. I have read many profiles on here and would have expected better.
