it seems to me every day is an 'islamic inquisition.'

Si Modo;
No, it isn't an attempt to justify any coercions by force, it's simply another hypocrisy meter. Don't forget, America is currently the world leader in torture justification. Having Americans complain about other people's coercion techniques is grade A hypocrisy.

It's almost is hypocritical as a Hezbollah and Hamas cheerleader complaining about war crimes, then?

Interesting to see their take on this, when Islam is quite explicit that there is "no coercion in religion."

Those were the earlier Suras. The later ones state quiet clearly that it is fine to kill the infidels or to subjugate them.

There is a difference between killing and subjugation and coercion to convert.

Are you saying that killing and subjugation are okay?

Where would you get that idea?

Sorry. my bad. It's just that there is coercion in Islam. Lot of it. The dhimmi system is designed to make it difficult and dangerous to be a non Muslim. It's explicitly stated that Pagans should be killed.

You know what would shut them up?


"What about the Coptic, Sudanese, Iraqi, Iranian, Syrian Christians!?!"


Christians should become nationalistic like the Muslims. Oh that would be fun..


"Muslims are in guantomno bay, because they oppress Christians oversees, Muslims are harrassed by FBI because they oppress christians oversees.. "

Just as islamists justify suicide bombing.

This is really, really scary. I think he has a point. I too would love to see Christians throughout the world get as pissy about their co-religionists being oppressed by Muslims as the Muslims do about their co-religionists.

Yes, and they can change their mind off and on whether a Christian is a 'people of the book' or a Pagan. Some say that it only refers to Christians that don't believe in that trinity.. which is pretty much everyone besides some Americanized protestant beliefs like some Apostolics and pentacostals..

I was always taught that it referred to Mushrik, who are generally taken to mean Pagans, but technically mean anyone who makes anyone/anything into a partner with god.

I've noticed that as Muhammad grew older, his revelations became more and more violent. Thus the discrepancy. There are both passages promoting conversion, and passages promoting the extermination of infidels (particularly pagans).

Bush didn't make it up, he hyped it up and then blew it up to the point where it's difficult to recognize.
