the judge further noted that "the prophet Muhammad has said several times that those who convert from islam should be killed if they refuse to come back" and that even while this is so, "islam is a religion of peace, tolerance, kindness and integrity. that is why we have told abdul rahman if he regrets what he did, then we will forgive him." the judge added more ominously: "if he does not repent, you will all be witness to the sort of punishment he will face."

how strange. how does this: "the prophet Muhammad has said several times that those who convert from islam should be killed if they refuse to come back" and this: "islam is a religion of peace, tolerance, kindness and integrity." go together. it's a rhetorical. it just reaffirms everything i think.

Well if you already think that, and this has been re-affirmed, is there any point posting inflammatory material? You've clearly already made up your mind as to what you think about Islam.

By who?

it just proves that although there are moderate Muslims, islam itself is not moderate. and it's time for western muslims and western politicians like george bush, john howard and tony blair to stop denying islam's role in the violence since september 11th.

in this mans case, these contradictions (between freedom of religion and sharia) will not go away.

[Assassin]

It doesn't prove anything of the sort. You'd like to think it does, because it supports your seemingly Islamophobic stance on the issue. How about George Bush, John Howard and Tony Blair acknowledging the West's role in the violence since Sept. 11th? When you brutalise, marginalise and devastate a group of people, there comes a breaking point, and the West is feeling that breaking point now. If you knew anything about genuine Islam and not the skewed representation you are fed by the media, you would realise just how ironic it is that you've posted these posts in the bullshit thread.

i of course didn't think it happened to islam on september 11th, i always knew that it was like that in any case. to say that what happened on the 11th is somehow within islam, it's essential to islam in some sense. maxime rodinson www.secularislam.org/reviews/rodinson.htm the great french islamologue, said that violence is "existentially" islam, that's the word he used, meaning fundamentalism is somehow an essential consequence of islam itself. and now i think, for the first time at least in some countries, there has been a complete breakthrough in the way we discuss islam. certainly in conservative newspapers, but also certain left-wing magazines like marianne and the newspaper like figaro, have started to criticise islam in a very, very fundamental way. but in england, unfortunately, the intellectuals, with a few exceptions, they're beginning to speak up, the intellectuals are so islamically and politically correct that they dare not use the word islam in front of terrorism. they're now following the lead of the politicians. i mean it's quite ironical, both bush and blair are the two leaders who have introduced religion into political life, and now they're the ones to refuse to use the word 'islam' when talking about terrorism. they just won't understand what is happening; they will repeat the same old mistakes. if they cannot analyse the situation and see that islam is the motivating factor behind all this, then how on earth are they going to tackle the problem? it seems completely incomprehensible to me.

the mufti of marseilles said that if violent fundamentalists are acting, and i quote, 'canonically', and that 'i denounce the hypocrisy of muslim theologians who refuse to criticise the theology which underwrites all this violence.' others of course are just going along the same old way saying, 'well we mustn't confuse islam with islamic fundamentalism', blah blah blah, as though nothing has happened. and unfortunately these are the kind of people that the politicians seem to be listening to.
