56. Sharia law in UK is 'unavoidable'

Comment #124198 by tieInterceptor on February 8, 2008 at 5:56 pm

I watched this documentary today, its quite good and informative.

This World: Inside a Shari'ah Court

Documentary by award-winning filmmaker Ruhi Hamid. Some British Muslims want Shari'ah law implemented in the UK. Already practiced informally here to resolve Islamic divorce, inheritance and family disputes, it is seen by many in the West as oppressive and brutal, with punishments like stoning and amputations. Ruhi Hamid, a British Muslim, travels to Nigeria to see Shari'ah law in action, and asks whether it could work alongside the UK's existing legal system.


http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=A07C626899D1E6D4

the answer is no, it won't work... but the court cases in Nigeria under sharia look more like judge Judi on tv, than what they have going on Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia.

Still, worth watching for sure.

61. Richard Dawkins on The Big Debate

Comment #119089 by tieInterceptor on January 31, 2008 at 10:03 am

this kinds of debates are so tiresome,

the girl said it clear at the end, the law democratically changed to allow gays and abortions, and you have a school who teaches against what society has voted.

then the rotund woman on the seat responded some kind of tiresome blah about "we have the right to our own point of view"... what the? we are talking about schools teaching children against what the law says, not your individual "as a person" right to think what you want.. seriously... schools are not equal to people, they are not corporations yet.

And congrats to Richard for pressing the Muslim to say that Sharia demands death for apostasy.

Is it me or the Muslims on this debates have a tendency to snigger, like they find all of this civilised discourse such an easy target, they know that when its the time, all of this will be over,

just like the emperor palpatine before dismantling the senate ...

very nice interview, I love how the Christian fundamentalist got his face bitch slapped by Richard.

Anyone listening (that hasn't made up his mind) could see that the theist was an arrogant retard.

Well done, and in my opinion calling him naive is ok, he totally deserved it. We need to slap them back to their place, this super-reverent attitude towards uneducated buffoons has to stop, if not look where it ends.

I would like to see that theist going to the doctors and trying to argue his way out of chemotherapy, because he believes in crystal healing out of a book he reads on his spare time.

Same way of thinking, but when is cancer somehow they do appreciate the knowledge of the specialist... odd isn't it?

I keep reminding my wife that her "muslim" girlfriends from the office, who drink alcohol, do not pray and do not wear the hijab, they are not really Muslim by action and also happen to have a country of origin, No need to refer to them as Muslims, call them Mauritian or Egyptian, like everyone else does does in this planet,

Comment #93082 by tieInterceptor on December 2, 2007 at 6:40 am

Lagomort on December 1, OK, Dennet sucked.

I am sick of people that think they do not need to take the time to consider the arguments before time and work out quick responses for the debate. Dennet's "ums" and, "That is just that ol' argument" type of responses just made him look like an ass...

I agree somehow, Denet is nice, but the lack of short and clear responses to some of the most retarded statements that D'Souza was shouting, bothered me. I was longing for some of the old Hitchens quick answers... and personally I know by now lots short answers just by watching and reading articles in this site.

to an audience who does not know as much as most of us do here, it would seem that Denet was rambling, and lots of mmmh and ahhhs, ...

Denet is great when he does a presentation, but not so much when answering on the fly.

kinda missed a bit the chance there.

I would have added, on the question of morality and the bible, the answer from Hitchens. That obviously before the 10 commandments, the world already knew well enough that killing and stealing was bad. the Greeks for example.

That answer to me is more satisfying.

In my opinion those who says that Saudi Arabia is not "really" proper Islam, I would tell them that by extension then Russia and Cuba are not "really" communist since they do not follow the letter of the manifesto, but IN THE REAL WORLD, what reads on the book is meaningless, what's important is how it turns out when put into practice.

not that what reads in the Quran is not barbaric anyway.

Vinelectric, Are you telling me that in a Muslim country under Sharia Law a Christian can be in the government? Is that it?

because is Sharia is not the law of the land, then it is not a Muslim country. Unless what is commanded in the Quran as a prerequisite to be a Muslim land is unimportant to you.

89. 'Muhammad' teddy teacher arrested

Comment #91080 by tieInterceptor on November 27, 2007 at 7:00 am

Vinelectric, I particulary like this way of collecting the jizya or tax as you say.

As recommended by many Muslim scholars, jizya was to be collected in a humiliating procedure:
The collector remains seated and the infidel remains standing…, his head bowed and his back bent. The infidel must place money on the scales, while the collector holds him by his beard and strikes him on both cheeks.(Al-Nawawi)

...

Various restrictions and legal disabilities were placed on Dhimmis, such as prohibitions against bearing arms or giving testimony in courts in cases involving Muslims,the limitations on the rights of dhimmis made them vulnerable to the whims of rulers and the violence of mobs.

and in no way I see how your examples of Sudan Lebanon or Iraq have anything to do with what Islam asks, and nothing that you said makes the CHOICE of Islam on the population a real OPTION.
Dhimmi laws are a straightforward no bullshit way to suppress, and guarantees a diminishing population of infidels in your lands.

If you're atheist you can't hold position of power in the US

yes you can, people may choose not to vote for you. But the constitution is above all secular. 1st amendment anyone?

but in Islam? It is law, and the fact that is medieval? the point of unchangeable laws from god, is that, they do not change... I don't see how that makes Islam any better, you won't see any Mullah saying that the Dhimmi status is out of date... and the laws only apply to the middle ages.

My point stands.

90. 'Muhammad' teddy teacher arrested

Comment #91021 by tieInterceptor on November 27, 2007 at 2:00 am

Haste: I was brought up in a Muslim country and was taught the religion. I was never forced to join them in any way.

I've seen that so many times, and it fails to impress every single time I read it.

Hard to imagine freedom of choice when the entire Islamic system demands dhimmis to be publicly humiliated when paying the Kuffar tax, forbid from holding positions of power, not allowed to build new churches or repair them on Muslim land, and in a very real, systematic and practical way making sure they are forced into decline and to disappear in a few generations.

Apostasy punish by death, criticism punish by prison, women not allowed to marry interfaith, and man only allowed if the wife changes religion to Islam.

Is that freedom of choice??? Then I want to see the definition changed on the dictionary.

Maybe your personal experience of Islam is moderate, and your Muslim friend are very agreeable, but please keep some perspective, and don't give me the "I feel like I must defend my religion, because my friends are nice" line, that's a platitude.

Sorry, but just this week a teacher will be tortured for allowing the naming of a teddybear on a 7 year old classroom game, and in SaudiArabia a gang rape victim will be tortured with 200 lashes (that alone can kill you) and then imprisoned 6 months for the crime of ... who knows?

Just picture if all this happened in 1922 Germany and I was defending the Nazi REGIME on the grounds that some of my Nazi friends are nice, and no one "forced" me to join the Hitler youth.

And if your friend are nice, then maybe they should not call themselves Muslim, there is clear guidelines to what constitute a Muslim, and as far as I know, is not a badge to feel part of a group, it is a totalitarian political system and a religion combined into a way of life.

Half cooked "moderate" thinking Muslims, are just kidding themselves. If freedom and niceties is your life stile, then call yourself by the name of your country, If you have the need to feel part of a group, but definitely not by the religion.

rant over.

92. The absurd world of Martin Amis

Comment #90786 by tieInterceptor on November 26, 2007 at 10:47 am

what I'm suggesting?

I'm suggesting that the teachings of Muhammed in al-taqyya albeit practical they are not moral.
And also they where used on a mission to assassinate not in a battle of 2 armies lord of the rings style.

Call it whatever you like, but giving permission to your followers to call your religion false and the profet a pig so you can gain their trust to stab them in the back, is practical... yes, but does not have the "feeling" of someone who knows that the real god is on their side.

If you know your god exists, then let the lions eat you, you're going to heaven anyway.

Muhammed teachings go well with a general on wartime, not with a moral teacher.

Comment #90732 by tieInterceptor on November 26, 2007 at 8:18 am

look, sorry to repeat myself, but I haven't found any so called muslim who UNCONDITIONALLY says something againts the scriptures.

If the best we can expect from moderates is to point out that in a PERFECT implementation of Islam, ONLY HARDCORE thieves would get their hands and feet chopped off, and only adulterers that somehow where shagging in a crowded room, with 4+ witnesses will get stoned to death, then I have a problem with the definition of the word moderate,

If by "moderate" we mean, Muslims who will do their best to drown their religion in 7 layers of bureaucracy to keep the killing and misogyny down to acceptable levels, then... WHATEVER.

Comment #90728 by tieInterceptor on November 26, 2007 at 8:06 am

some of the comments on that webpage,

"hi...one of the biggest reason ppl dont understand muslims is because of thier lack of knowlegde about Islam. Islam always backs up what it says. ppl have created a sterotype abt the Sharia...its all abt chopping hands off and stonning to death "etc...there is more to the Sharia laws...for example, drink water while sitting, respect your parents etc. as for the punishment that i mentioned above, (chopping of hands) is not that easily done...first you have to concider some things before that process is done...for example, if the 'object' was stolen by a child, hungry person, mentally challenge person etc then the punishment is not done. All the punishment have hard core info backing them up...all u need to do is check it out... "
...
mean i agree with the protests but not the angry mobs they showed on TV because that is not what Islam is abt...Islam is about peace.
Muslims are not perfect...BUT ISLAM IS "

seriously, is this supposed to make me feel better?

95. The absurd world of Martin Amis

Comment #90686 by tieInterceptor on November 26, 2007 at 6:05 am

By the way how could it escape your logic that the hadith on War is deception rfers to open war when the thing has been proclaimed publicly.

funny that you say, since its not for open warfare, the case of al-taqiyya was a warrant by Muhammed to one of his assassins to lie about his religion, and insult the prophet openly, so he could gain trust of his enemy and Murder him.

? but only for war is it, seriously, since when assassination is open warfare?

what about the poets that Muhammed had executed for the capital crime of taking the piss of Muhammed and his "on-demand" revelations?

as Harris says, not all religions teach the same, I'm an anti theist, but at least I see something in the fact that Christians would get themselves eaten by lions before renouncing Christ.

seriously Vinelectric, justify assassination by deception in "open warfare"? that does not make any sense, supposedly its life example coming from the CREATOR of the universe and his chosen pupil on earth... remember?

The morals of Mohammed can't be justified because "he was a general in a war" that does not cut it as an excuse, because he is apparently the finest MORAL EXAMPLE OF ALL 1.6bilion Muslims.

by SumerSale: I hate it, I hate people who defend it, and I hate people who go around claiming that people like me are the irrational ones. You don't fight extremist ideologies with love and flowers. You fight it with another gun and another set of harsh words, because it is the enemy. It is my enemy, it hates me, and I hate it back and I like that it hates me. I revel in the fact that it hates me. I thrive in its hatred. And hopefully, one day, I will see it just as dead as it wants me.

Anyone who disagrees can "fuck off".

my thoughts exactly.

It makes my head hurt when I read on forums women defending Saudi Arabia's right to be "different" and "have their own understanding of what's right" on the comment section in an article about gang rape victims being whipped 200 times and jailed for 6 months for the crime of being raped, and talking back to the judge.

Seriously, the world has lost its mind when being Muslim on the eyes of the west gives you a 007 license to be barbaric.

But the politically correct say "it would be hypocrite of us to pass judgement on their way of thinking".

Comment #89197 by tieInterceptor on November 20, 2007 at 1:59 am

Great news!

I was so upset about the police investigation, when I learned about it my eyes rolled back so much I nearly went blind.

I had the feeling that the world was going mad. It really, really pissed me off.

Great to see that not all is lost, there is some sense left in the world.

The sad thing is that some damage is done already, in youtube forums you can see Muslims already using the accusation to discredit the documentary, and they are not going to stop now, they are not interested in the truth.

And Ofcom had only 300 complaints? you would think that the mosques would organise a better boycott, 300 people is like a pick nick, Muslims have a special talent to riot and get offended... maybe they only like it when is on the streets, calling on the phone to do a formal request is too civilised and does not have the mob-of-angry-people-adrenaline-rush-effect to it.

Hitchens seems to be the only one who can argue its case on this fox news types of interviews, and come out "feeling" like the victor to the average viewer. It's all about repeating the starting phrase until the moderator shuts up and lets you talk.

A deep voice and quick mind helps too.
