What do you think of my solution to Islamic immigration?

[Notanumber]

Speaking as an Atheist, I would take modern day Christianity over modern day Islam any day.

There is no contest.

Regarding the "new math" quip.... I don't suppose that the word "facetious" has any meaning in your world - does it?

As for the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, I have little doubt that there were a few people who professed to be Christians who had slaves. Quite possibly, a couple of them may have even been respected in their community.

However: The work of closing down the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade was spearheaded by a Christian man named Wilbur Wilberforce and was carried on by the general work of the Christian community. Depending on what brand of Christianity you think are the "real Christians," the trade was either loved, or despised. Personally, my theology comes from the group of Christians that despised the trade.

Here we go with the No True Scotsman.

Interesting.....


Generally I could agree with you here. But I would never make the racial statement you just did.

"white evangelical is an identifier of a demographic that dominates that particular faith. It's not a "racial statement."

Of course you would you are anti-Islam there is no secret there.

You are right there, I could never subscribe to Political Islam and Sharia Law.


Dr. Moorthy Muthuswamy | The Counter Jihad Report


Sharia Law is the backbone of the ideology of Islam.


The doctor says that over eighty Sharia Courts are operating in Britain alone (there will be more now).


He says that Sharia is not a written document that can be referenced by anyone.


If he is wrong about that, please provide a link for us.


I found this link - The ugly truth about Sharia law

What he says about Turkey is now out of date. Things are changing there and not for the better.


It was interesting what he said about the link between jihad violence and Sharia Compliance.

I wonder why a professed atheist would try so hard to demonize Islam. Look, you have proven your stance, what is there more to discuss here? It's obvious I cannot rationalize with you so WTF is there more can I say here?

Because just like myself, he doesn't give a rats patoot if they want to worship the root of a kumquat tree. But he remains deeply concerned about the infusion of their directly contradictory ideology into our freedoms and the legal system that protects them. The failings of justice this deadly combination will produce are inevitable.

"white evangelical is an identifier of a demographic that dominates that particular faith. It's not a "racial statement."

No. "Evangelical" is a demographic identifier. "White" is an indicator of race. And, if you persist on this matter then I will have no option but to conclude that you are a racist.

 

[UpperLimits]

Here we go with the No True Scotsman.

Well, you have YOUR "True Scotsman." And I have mine.

If the parameters of a group are "X", and an individual, while professing belonging to a group doesn't exhibit those features, then by default they logically exclude themselves, irrespective of their claim(s).

I wouldn't talk "Christian" I'm more concerned about the "good Christian" folk that like to shoot up people at Jewish centers or protest soldiers at their funerals, or the Christians who go in other churches and kill parishioners because of the color of their skin.

Well "whites" are the dominant demographic in that particular sect of Christianity which many reporters have known to identify evangelicals as white see:

Many white evangelicals stand by Trump because they are more white than evangelical

The stunning difference between white and black evangelical voters in Alabama.

"White is an indicator of race"

According to scientists (myself among them) there is no such thing as race

See:According To Science, There's No Such Thing As Race

If you persist on this matter I cannot help but call you dense but then again your base is dense already.

I seriously doubt that anyone who would do such a thing would have any knowledge, or genuine experience of Christian life. I'm not talking here about head knowledge, or being raised in any such type of particular fashion. I'm talking strictly about the condition of their heart, its condition, what they've allowed in there, and what they are allowing out.

Just as I said no true Muslim who follows God would do such a thing..
