    OMG - Muslim Calligraphy in Virginia Schools!

    I opine that it's because you haven't been listening. There have been many Muslim voices raised in opposition to Daesh and Al-Qaeda. As for Taqiyyah, it is used in life or death situations not at any other time and even then only by some.

    List Anything Islam Has Right?

    Islam, like all faiths, gets some things right and others wrong. It is, after all, mediated through fallible humans.

    Anti-gay baker now takes stand against birthdays for trans people

    You are another fundamentalist insisting that your interpretation of a scripture is the authoritative one. Had you actually done any research you would have found that Christians have disagreed with one another about this from the very beginning of the church. Perhaps you should take the...

    Old Bible Resources

    Sounds like a 'bible' written by the KKK of which there are some.

    Bad For Jews in the UK?

    Anti-Zionism =/= anti-semitism although you might be forgiven for thinking it does.

    what my teacher didn't tell me about the othmanic caliphate

    I also note that American natives who had just suffered the Trail of Tears raised money and sent it to the Irish for the which they are justly lauded and remembered.

    Two approaches towards reforming Islam: the Bahai Faith and Ahmadiyya Islam.

    A specific command to a specific church congregation does not make a universal rule binding on all Christians for eternity. In this case Paul was simply wrong.

    Christians and Jews Who Sanction Homosexual Sex

    This whole thread begins with the premise that there is a 'cost' to homosexuality that does not exist in other communities. It is hooey. Everything humans do incurs some kind of socio-economic cost and nobody with the sense God gave to a flatworm bothers about it. Humans should be free to love...

    Why Does God Hate Sex?

    In that case keep your studied ignorance to yourself.

    Why Does God Hate Sex?

    No, actually study rather than ripping verses out of context. Put in the hard yards. Look at the Hebrew and Greek, study the culture.

    Why Does God Hate Sex?

    The "standard of God" is always human=mediated. Ahura Mazda does not turn humans into dictation machines and, according to Christian theology, nor does Yahweh. Thus what gets written as scripture is mediated through the cultural, societal and educational milieus of the writer.

    Why Does God Hate Sex?

    As I have said before you are as bad as any fundamentalist. It is no use arguing with you that societies change, that what the bible reflects are those changes, that what is being commanded is being mediated through human-beings and their cultural limitations. NOPE, if the bible says "x" let's...

    Christians and Jews Who Sanction Homosexual Sex

    Like most atheists you are far more of a biblical fundamentalist than many Christians and just like them you ignore societal contexts. As for "God hating homosexuality" Ahura Mazda has never hated homosexuality although some followers might.
