he compared US to MUSLIMS :eek:     Ok Martin if you are reading this and I hope you are, you think that muslims are OK and only a minority are dodgey,then can you name 1 islamic country that    1.Became an islamic country without the use of violence  2.Tolerate women as equals  3.Do not kill animals in that sick ritualistic way knowen as halal  4.Tolerate other religions    And ALL muslims follow there book the koran. Here's some quotes from there book of peace    The Imrans 3:149:   Believers...put terror into the hearts of the unbelievers.   (In Arberryís ìinterpretationî ìThe Imrans appears as ìThe House of Imranî. The above passage is missing or ìinterpretedî to such a point that it does not make sense.)     Repentance 9:123:   Believers, make war on the infidels who dwell around you.     Repentance 9:4-6   Proclaim a woeful punishment to the unbelievers...When the sacred months are over slay the idolaters wherever you find them. Arrest them besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them. If they repent and take to prayer and pay the alms-tax, let them go their way. Allah is forgiving and merciful[!]     Repentance 9:5   ìWhen the sacred months are drawn away, slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them, and confine them, and lie in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they repent and perform the prayer and pay the alms, then let them go their way: God is All-forgiving, All-compassionate.î (Arberry, Oxford. ...In the event that the Dawood translation is challenged Arberryís concurs ...)     The Spoils 8:60:   Let the unbelievers not think they will escape Us... Muster against them all the men and cavalry at your disposal, so that you may strike terror into the enemies of Allah...     The Table 5 : 33   Those that make war against Allah and His apostle and spread disorders in the land shall be put to death or crucified or have their hands and feet cut off on alternate sides, or be banished from the country. They shall be held to shame in this world and sternly punished in the next.     The Imrans 3:156:   Believers, do not follow the example of the infidels, who say of their brothers when they meet death abroad or in battle: 'Had they stayed with us they would not have died, nor would they have been killed.' Allah will cause them to regret their words. It is Allah who ordains life and death. If you should die or be slain in the cause of Allah, His forgiveness and His mercy would surely be better than all the riches they amass. If you should die or be slain, before Him you shall all be gathered. (this passage appears as ìThe House of Imran 3:150 in Arberryís ìinterpretationî)     The House of Imran 3:150:   ìO believers, be not as unbelievers who say to their brothers, when they journey in the land, or are upon expeditions, ëIf they had been with us, they would not have died and not been slainí - that God may make that an anguish in their hearts. For God gives life, and He makes to die; and God sees the things you do. If you are slain or die in Godís way, forgiveness and mercy from God are a better thing than you amass; surely if you are slain, it is unto God you shall be mustered.î (Arberry, Oxford)
