Peace,







I definitely wasn't thinking of the Scots....



A Scottish boy and girl are sitting next to a loch...


The boy is deep in thought and the girl says:

Girl: "Penny for your thoughts Agnus".
Boy: "I think it is about time I be puttin' me hand on your leg.:

Boy puts his hand on her leg. And he begins to get deeper into thought:

Girl: "Penny for your thoughts Agnus."
Boy: "I think it is about time I be holding yar hand."

Holds the girl's hand. Becomes ever more deep in thought....

Girl: "Penny for your thoughts Agnus."
Boy: "I think it is about time I be givin ya a wee kiss."


Kisses girl on the cheek. The boy is now very very deep in thought, and the girl, expecting the inevitable amorous embrace to come....


Girl: "Penny for your thoughts Agnus."
Boy: "I think it is about time you paid me those first three pennies you owe me."

Mark Smith,






Nope. Look at what Muslims have to say about you... 40% support Shariah as Fanusi states. Shariah is inherently anti-you.


In the Islamic state Christians and Jews are relegated to apartheid 2nd class citizens, forced to pay an crushing poll tax. And polytheists, atheists, agnostics, Baha'is, etc... either get to convert, get expelled, or are killed. That is what 40% of Muslims think should happen to you. Not so warm and fuzzy is it?

You may be right about UK evangelicals. I have this kind of fairytale view of Englad as full of well spoken white people who are all very rational and get along well. I just need that little utopia in my mind, for when and if I finally abandon Jesus Land... USA.

The person who made this comment will remain anonymous, but I had a Muslim tell me the following:


"The Muslim weapon of mass destruction... a high birth rate."


And another person:


"Muslims are winning the war in the bedroom."


Both of those are absolutely true.

Also where did you get the 40% statistic? I would be eager to be able to cite that for an upcoming post on my blog.

Look at the rest of the post, that is only true if they support the right to life for other people. Instead evangelicals spend their time figuring ways to kill more people all over the world. They are murderers, they support murderers and vote for murderers, but when it comes to a woman's right to determine what goes on in her body, they suddenly turn all soft and give a shit what happens to a baby.


I didn't hear one Evangelical squeak when Palestinian women have been forced to give birth at an Israeli check point, denied medical care, and forced to watch their new born die. Not one... So they can stick that in their pro-life pipe and fucking smoke it.

I really can't help but say that Muslims do breed like rabbits. I mean they just keep popping out kids, many are malcontents and hoodlums too, the ones that don't turn into radicals. There have been several news reports lately of "Asians" (read Pakistanis) beating white children and using the derogatory term "Gora" (White-y, loosely translated) while beating them.

Fanusi is right, if this problem festers, then the reaction will be all the more violent. If it isn't fixed now, right wing fascists will grow more and more popular, especially in the face of an inactive government.

A'isha was married to Muhammad at age 6, the marriage was consumated when she was 9. Muhammad diddled a 9 year old girl... no question about it. In fact some clerics have said that it is tantamount to blasphemy (and apostasy) to say that A'isha was older. So much for the claim she was 18!

-Where are you tartuffes when it is time to vote for funding of social programs to keep people alive in the United States?

-Where are you and the rest of the pharisees when the homeless freeze to death on the street.





"Pro-lifers", deserve derisory quotation marks. So much sanctimonious wind, and so little committment to life.


One thing I know for sure about "pro-lifers" it is really about controlling women and has nothing to do with preserving life, or else these "pro-lifers" would be anti-war, pro-foreign aid, pro-social services. No no no no, it is simply about telling women what they can do with their reproductive organs. Such vile hypocrites posing as a "moral" majority. Benedict Arnold's to human rights.

I pointed out the same thing about Islam being timeless.

There is a complicated exegesis on the opening chapter of the Qur'an it uses a good deal of recursive explanation and logic, but needless to say it says that the Qur'an is eternal a "preserved tablet" (Lawh al-Mahfuz). Muhammad was the embodiment of the revealed religion, that is why Muslims wear beards often, because Muhammad wore a beard. Not only do they wear beards, they trim the mustache short the way Muhammad did.

If they find his style of facial hair timeless, no doubt they must concede his sexual habits are timeless as well. Butt fucking 6 year old girls is permissible, I don't know how else to make that clear. And it is permissible forever.

Show me one place where I distorted something? One place... I copied Hadith, sayings of Muhammad, which had their chains of narration (Isnad) varified by the scholar Imam Bukhari and/or Imam Muslim. These are some of the most sacred texts of Islam, and a fundamental source of Shariah, as I evidenced with reference to Iranian marriage laws.

I have distorted absolutely nothing. I have been nothing but completely honest, while you on the other hand have gone out of your way to post vile and disgusting remarks about my personal life, of which you know nothing. When I have a group of followers who treat my recorded word as gospel, and in those texts I brag of my sexual exploits, then you may comment on my personal life.

Muhammad had no personal life... it was public and an example to Muslims.

Comment #183065 by al-rawandi on May 21, 2008 at 10:23 am

Clearmind,







More copy and pasting. I read that in the links you cited.



The problem isn't "Well it was okay to marry a 9 year old in 620 AD." The problem is that Islam claims to have revealed timeless doctrines and the Muhammad is the embodiment of the doctrines, perfectly.

So Muhammad's behavior is both perfect and a timeless example. That is why the marrying age in Iran is 9 years old for a women, and why Imam Khomeini wrote in his works that it was permissible to fondle a girl as long as she is no longer being breast fed.


Think about that, if your simple mind can handle it:


Muslims think....

1) Islam is a timeless religion, always applicable.
2) Islam is perfect.
3) Muhammad embodied the perfect practice of the perfect religion.
4) He fondled 6 year old girls.


If you read #4 and then re-read #'s 2 and 3, you see that in terms of Islamic doctrine it is perfectly acceptable to fondle 6 year old girls, even today. The Iranians at least have the courage to admit as much.

Indeed I was spelling Cypres and not Cyprus. Good point. And like I said, it isn't a ME country.


Now do you have anything to say about the suicide attacks I mentioned? No apologies for murderers of children, and other human scum? What does it say about you that you are an apologist for murderers?


If you are simply going to dodge the points, like a total coward, just say so, and don't bother posting anything else.



As for your comment to MaxD, the issue with wikipedia regarding the Mid East, is the consensus that there are countries generally considered to be Middle Eastern, and those that are not. You cited one that is not, and have cleverly deflected away from this duplicity, and the fact that Israel is a democracy and the Arab shitholes are not.


Now some issues about your posts:



1) You are completely incapable of figuring out what a democracy is.

2) You are incapable of responding to posts which take absolute shits on your non-theories. Like young children being used in suicide attacks all over the Muslim world.

3) You are incapable of figuring out that the definition of Middle Eastern country is largely dependent on common usage.


Can you do anything right? How about actually answering a post, so we can see your shameful apologies for child murderers. Your pedantic attacks on spelling are signs of a weak argument, not a strong one.

What I cited was not a smear, it was in the words of Muhammad and of A'isha herself who said "I used to clean semen stains off of the Messenger of Allah's garmets."

If I bragged about Anna, I could understand your comments.


But I was referring to a documented historical event, not someone's personal life. If I bragged about what happened between Anna and I, then I could not complain. But you are simply lying and making things up. I am using historical sources, which are held as infallible by Muslims.

Comment #183025 by al-rawandi on May 21, 2008 at 8:50 am

Clearmind,





The things I posted were in the words of Muhammad himself, and in the words of A'isha. I distorted nothing... to distort it I would have had to change it. You can look up any of the hadith I cited online. The Cannonical Hadith are archived online, you can access them and read up. I can post more too, mostly about the sanctioning of murder and rape.



I didn't make anything up, it was all real, and Muslims hold it to be cannonical and doctrinal. Muhammad fondled a 6 year old gold in the bathtub, by his admission and by A'isha's testimony.


As you can probably tell, I don't hate Muslims I simply believe in telling the truth, and doing so in crystaline prose (unlike your barely readable posts).

As for your post about Anna, I think that is a little out of line. I don't brag publicly about my personal life or my sexual life the way Muhammad did, or the way any number of his sexual conquests did. And frankly it is out of line to be posting such a thing about Anna.


I am now convinced you are a Muslim the disrespect you show for women can only be Islamic. It figures that a so called "man of god" like you would hurl sexually perverted remarks about a woman on a forum like this.

Clearmind,






I spent many years studying Islam and the life of Muhammad. You spend one week at it and think you can lecture me? You intellectual eunuch.



SAHIH BUKHARI Volume 7, Number 17: Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah: When I gotmarried, Allah's Apostle said to me, "What type of lady have you married?" I replied, "I have married a matron' He said, "Why, don't you have a liking for the virgins and for fondling them?" Jabir also said: Allah's Apostle said, "Why didn't you marry a young girl so that you might play with her and she with you?'


SAHIH BUKHARI Volume 8, Number 151: Narrated 'Aisha: I used to play with the dolls in the presence of the Prophet, and my girl friends also used to play with me. When Allah's Apostle used to enter they used to hide themselves

SAHIH BUKHARI Volume 7, Number 18: Narrated 'Ursa: The Prophet asked Abu Bakr for 'Aisha's hand in marriage. Abu Bakr said "But I am your brother." The Prophet said, "You are my brother in Allah's religion and His Book, but she (Aisha) is lawful for me to marry."


SAHIH BUKHARI Volume 7, Number 88: Narrated 'Ursa: Mohammed (p.b.u.h.) The Prophet (when He was 53 years old) wrote the marriage contract with 'Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death).




Here is the Prophet Muhammad, in all his glory.


Fondling virgins... CHILD MOLESTER.

Before A'isha was 9 years old, Muhammad would fondle her in the bath, and other times she would clean the semen off of his clothes. Pedophile!

Let's find out....





Clearmind,






A couple of queries, if we may leave evolution to the side....



1) What do you think about the fact that Muhammad was a pedophile? What you let him fondle your 9 year old daughter in a bath tub the way he did that Hadith fabricator A'isha?

2) When Muhammad promised his followers 72 virgins in the hereafter (for martyrs anyhow) did you know he also said there would be "young hairless boys" as well. So many catamites... Do you think that suicide bombers think about sodomizing these young boys in addition to their virgins or not?

3) I got a little doozy you will appreciate, the ass clown Muhammad said:


SAHIH BUKHARI Volume 2, Number 245: Narrated 'Abdullah: A person was mentioned before the Prophet (p.b.u.h) and he was told that he had kept on sleeping till morning and had not got up for the prayer. The Prophet said, "Satan urinated in his ears."


If you sleep in, does Satan unrinate in your ears as well? If so, I am getting up crack of dawn every damn day, here on out. Last thing I want is devil piss in my ears.


Muhammad sure was a brilliant guy. Satan urinating in your ear... do you think he was completely retarded or only partially?

"My god knows everything, no argument can refute or defeat him, I get to spend an eternity of bliss with him, and you get to go to hell to be burnt in a fire eternally... oh ya and since you accept evidence based conclusions only... you are arrogant". Come on, religion itself is the pinnacle of arrogance, the religious simply don't have the courage to be arrogant, they make an imaginary deity on whose behalf they may be arrogant.

That would be like me and my friends going to play golf and you show up in football pads and helmet, put a football on a tee and kick it down the fairway. We, and the course staff, would ask you to leave.

If they want to talk science, they can use the scientific method, if they want to talk hypothetical fairytale nonsense (which is what they are doing) they can keep that in their church or other fortress of ignorance. But they absolutely cannot kick a football and call it golf.

They have NO claim at all. It isn't even close to making sense, all that one can do is ridicule.

*sigh* look at what wikipedia cites. And this isn't a term paper. I have a degree in Middle Eastern Studies, and although the Cypress conflict was covered in courses on wider conflict studies, it wasn't really considered a Middle Eastern state, half the Island is Greek speaking, the other half Turksih. And aside from Anatolia, Turkey resides in Europe as well, an Turkish is an Altaic language. Also, let's not forget the "common usage" factor, as most people do not consider Cypress "Middle Eastern"... only tiresome pedants consider it such.


So how do you know the 8 year old suicide bomber is false? Or is it that you think everything the US government says is a lie... do you know a guy named _riverrun_?



Can you find it in your cowardly mind to condemn anything that Muslims do? Are you one of those people who thinks it is acceptable to bomb Israeli school buses because the children will one day serve in the military?

It takes a special kind of self flagellation to only ever whine about American misdeeds (of which there are plenty) all the while excusing Muslim acts of wanton violence, often targeting the most innocent.

2) He refers to Adam as a "prophet", only Muslims do this. I have never seen a Christian call Adam a "prophet".

The use of the term "prophets" is something that is common to Muslims, heard less in Christian circles, as they focus on the "savior".

Israel is a democracy. Arabs are represented in the Knesset.

And allow me to help you, because your sputtering intellect doesn't seem able to wrap itself around the very simple definition of democracy.... which is rooted in the Greek Demos meaning common man, or the "mob" (perhaps a more crude definition). Thus to be a "democracy" a country must only allow elections and representation, and Israel does this... hence it is a democracy. In the sense you describe, the US is not a democracy either, because it does not directly elect the president, and it does not provide absolute equality for all citizens.


And as for Cypress, it is not listed as a Middle Eastern country,

In the US, a communist can be elected and he can bring some such policies before the legislative body, in a Socialist country, not only is this person (reversed, being a capitalist) marginalized, his property is stolen and he is thrown into a gulag somewhere.

It is like debating a theist, they don't address the issues and use emotive language to wail and bleat about a system that is so evidently superior as to make them look foolish.


I think I am calling D'Arcy out after the 3 strikes.



D'Arcy,



Good try, but you have to actually answer posts to call it a debate. And as for the scrap heap, I am doing just fine, making good money, saving for retirement, and voting for people who will do the right things for my country (as best I can). How is whining incessantly coming along?

D'Arcy,







Strike two. One more try...


You are being subjected to Dr. Benway's three strike rule. You have again not answered any of my questions posed to you. This has gone on for about 7 posts now, but I am not going to count the first five, so you can have another try.

The questions are posed above....



Answer if you can ever find the courage.


Coward.

Goldy,





When you are driving a car, and another car hits the side of your car, there is body damage and a few hundred dollars in damage. If you are on a motorcycle, your leg could well be severed. Those are the minor differences.


Maybe I need to send you the videos of impaled rides and guys dragging themselves across bloogy asphalt looking for their severed leg. My favorites are the decapitations. Those are enough to get you into and SUV.

Dr. Benway,





If he is still interested in a motorcycle, let me know. I will email him about a dozen videos... mostly of what happens to the human body after a motorcycle accident. Enough scatterred limbs to scare off everyone of my friends who ever contemplated getting a motorcycle. It is gruesome, but it is an effective deterrent.

Good luck on the recovery.

Ghandi,







Bah. A tool, a moron. Notice what is on the Indian national flag. A spinning wheel. Ghandi advocated a return to pre-industrial society. The man was whacky, and luckily did more good than harm.

I prefer Muhammad Ali Jinna (president of Pakistan early on), when asked about partition he said he felt it was good, when asked why he said of cows "They worship them and we eat them, how can we live together!"



MaxD,



There are non-violent pro-Palestine movement. They are often staffed by non-Arabs, from western countries. They are often joined by pro-peace Israelis, and both are shot at (rubber bullets) by the Israelis. So it has been difficult to get the movement going, as the IDF actively attempts to suppress.

The Israelis have a right to self defense. In fact the Palestinians do as well, that is why I find attacks on armed settlements and IDF soldiers in the West Bank to be legitimate forms of resistance and self defense.

Jesse,





These pro-lifers supported sanctions of Iraq that killed about 4,500 children per month.


Pro-life is simply a lie. That don't have any respect for life at all. They just seek to control women.

liberalartist,






criminal and immoral aside.... it is stupid. Just plain stupid. But religion has nearly cornered the market on criminal, immoral and stupid.

An abortion comment:





The Hypocrites of religion, are just that....


They always seem to say "abortion is acceptable in the case of rape."


So they are saying that if a woman is raped, then killing the child is acceptable, but if she is not raped, then it is murder. Killing an unborn fetus is either murder or it isn't. I wish they would get their shit together and figure it out. I also wish they would stop pretending they care about women's rights.

Bonzai,






Israel is a racist state. However it is not motivated by traditional racism, which desires to exclude the other. It is driven by the inclusiveness of Jewish identity. The Jews feel that they cannot live in non-Jewish society, or that this society cannot be trusted.

However, it is manifestly true that if you base citizenship requirements on race, then the state is racist.


Israel makes decisions based on "survival" mentality. They will attack other countries without legal mandate to prevent an unacceptable situation. For example, the Osirak reactor in Iraq, or the reactor in Syria. They will hit Iran if they must. They have launched preemptive wars, because (mostly led by Moshe Dayan) they have refused to take a chance with their existence. Thus they constantly stand at odds with the UN.
