What is it with Radical Muslims and beheadings?

Right.

Handy tip: if you wanted to portray your anti-Muslim position as being just a product of your concern, you shouldn't have tipped your hand about your real motivations in your second post.

That post, in it's correct context, was me posing a point to ponder on... The point being -'what is our target for our hatred'.

...What do you say I should hate? Islam..? Certain Muslims..? Fundamentalism..? Religion entirely..? Human existence..?

What do you say?

Precise adherence to *all* original texts, in the exact literal sense.

If you mean always wooden literal I would not believe that. I do believe the original texts are altogether true in the sense of the literature which is not always wooden literal. (plenary inspired as to word choice, sufficient for doctrine and godliness, and even infallible as God cannot lie and true history where claims are to be historical records).

And I think Jesus looked at the Old Testament that was as well.

Don't try to sugar-coat it now.

You said that we're "supposed" to hate Muslims and asked how to scale this back to the point that it wouldn't be seen as racist.

But if competing literature can be produced, then why would God allow such a fallable platform for revealing Himself..? Do you know what I mean?

...Surely, it must have been only a starting point.

No, that's your perspective of what you think I would have meant, based on a picture you have of me in your mind -which is innacurate.

A competing literature? meaning?

God uses fallible people, but also there is an element of faith. If anyone lacks wisdom God will give it generously if they ask in faith. (James)

If anyone is willing to do his will he shall know of the teaching. (John)

If you mean entire competing books like Koran or Hindi, that's a matter of discernment what is from God.

The LRA immediately comes to mind. Also:

- the KKK
- the UVF
- the Army of God

... to name a few.

Thanks and see my post #71. And just for the record, the KKK is really not a religious entity even though they may claim to be. Most of the Kluxers I have met haven't enough sense to find a church, let alone attend one. Of course, this makes them more dangerous.

That's one organization; I listed four.

And plenty of members of "Islamic" terrorist organizations aren't that religious either. Do you give them a pass as well?

I think that the KKK generally approaches religion in terms of identity rather than in terms of doctrine. This does still make them a religious organization. Their religious identity is Christian; this makes them a Christian organization.

... regardless of how well or poorly their members can articulate what their Christian identity means, or how well or poorly it translates into doctrinal compliance.

If you would look closely, I thanked you for your information and my remarks concerned only one of the organizations of which I had personal knowledge. Please, enjoy your win...

No,

Last year all Texas' executions were black people - are all white people innocent or do they just have the best lawyers

When the US stops executions its citizens can critisice nations/religions that behead people until then it should concentrate on getting its own house in order.

So by your own logic I can assume that the U.K. is perfect since you see fit to criticize the U.S.?
