Philo,

And you are irrational. You espouse the corruption of the Catholic Church and yet seem to draw nourishment and approval from your connection with Catholics. You are blind to the corruption of Protestantism (its disunity; it's sectarianism; its abuse of Sacred Scripture) and you have the gall to lecture others. If you were really devoted to truth and reality (whatever reality may be to you or to anyone) then you would recognise this without living in the past shackled to what you say was the corruption of the papacy etc.back in the 16th century. Your ignorance shows in your reference to "the Roman Church"......this is the Church of the Diocese of Rome, which happens to be where the Bishop of Rome, the successor of St Peter, has his cathedra. The other Catholic bishops, of both the Latin and Eastern rites, are in communion with this see. You are the one obsessed.....with what you perceive to be the corruptions of the past whilst being very selective about what corruption s you will focus on and which ones you will ignore. I have never held that goodness and enlightment are the preserve of the Catholic Church......in this you are off with the pixies. Your use of the term "Romanist" shows who the bigot really is. But, don't worry, I used to use such terms back in my Protestant days so I know just how envy and insecurity feels.

Back to sharia law: The following are extracts from an article entitled " Arab Mentality: Murder of Women"
'Several thousand women every year are victims to "honour?" killings'
'Many women are killed and buried in unmarked graves: their very existence is removed from community and clan records'
'Women are killed by their fathers, husbands, brothers, uncles, cousins or sons'
'Among palestinians all sexual encounters, including rape and incest, are blamed on the woman. Men are presumed innocent: the woman must have tempted them'.
'A four-year-old palestinian girl, raped by a man in his mid-twenties, was left by her family to bleed to death. They did this because they felt her "misfortune" (my inverted commas)would sully their "honour?"
Any, even a partway decent Christian, atheist or pagan, want pagan islamic brutal, violent, misogynistic, barbarous, stinking sharia law? numbat

Note how Muslim minds see Western thought and behaviour while blind to their own savagery and behaviour.

"The Western Way of Thinking has Taken its Materialism, Egoism, and Savagery From the Ancient Greeks and Romans"

Krekar: "On one side stands the Western way of thinking. This is a way of thinking that has taken its materialism, egoism and savagery from the ancient Greeks and Romans. This is a way of thinking that has altered true Christianity. An example of this is that Western Christianity [today] accepts men having sex with men. That was never accepted by Jesus. On the other side stands Islam, and now the West is trying to take over and change Islam in the same way that Christianity was debased."

Interviewer: "Do you mean that this is a war between civilizations?"

Krekar: "No. There is only one civilization. But there are different ways of thinking about it, and our way of thinking in Islam stands in opposition to the Western way of thinking. Today it is our way of thinking that comes in and shows itself stronger than theirs. Islam has a stable foundation: one God, one Prophet, one Koran, and one tradition. This generates hatred among [those with a] Western way of thinking, and leads the losing party to use violence. And that is the violence and war against Islam."….”

Cool! Sharia Law, I can't wait. What sort of screwed up religion can support such ideals in todays society?

When do the executions start? Do we continue to agree to the International Convention on Civil and Political Rights or do we go the Iranian way and start killing 16 year old girls for being raped? Do a search for "Atefah Sahaaleh" and decide for yourself. Lets go for pure Sharia Law and stone peolpe instead of hanging. Seems so much more humane.

Can we also have "moral police" that run child prostitution rings and drug, then rape for fun.

On a side note, if sex before marriage is so taboo to muslims, why are we getting so may gang rapes by muslim boys/men. How sick do you have to be to rape someone? Even sicker to do it with your mates or your brothers!

Maybe we can learn something from Sharia Law and stone these rapists to death! Now that would be worth watching.

Oh dear mangotreeone1: When you get off your medication you may realise that the early 30's have well gone it's now 2006.
Be totally stupid of me to attack either Solomon or David, this may be difficult for you to grasp but both men are dead in their graves.
If any religion earns insults it would have to be the cultish, pagan,heathen, misonygistic, death-loving, lying, brutal islam.
Not all moslems are terrorists BUT! 99% of bloody, cowardly terrorists are islamic.It's not the Methodists/Catholics/Baptists who preach hatred towards and tender dire threats to other religions is it?
It's not the CofE/Salvos who call followers of other religions pigs and monkeys is it?
We now have stringent anti-terrorist laws in this fair country and it is not becase the AOG/Presbyterians are planning terrorist attacks either is it? In what country have islamics not caused strife even going as far as to slay innocent unarmed, unaware men, women, children and babies. What religion "bans?" adultery, homosexuality yet promises the same in their tribal arab paradise?Answers please mangotreeone1 and please stay in the last ten years this time eh! numbat

hello's
Mangotree love your posts so true, I look forward to reading them. A man not afraid af seeing and telling how it really is, many nuggets talk about history then deny it, keep the truth going. The truth is always thrown to the side for people mot to see but keep it happening. The truth needs to be told. My child is 7 he creats a picture for mummy he is proud of whAt he created be it a stick man or a blue moon, being 7 hasnt reach the age of reason, my child is still inicent the sun is yellow the sky is blue no one yet has got to his head to tell him the ske is purple. When he is full of love he smiles, what would he do I wonder if he had a chat with god, dont think he would come back angry his heart would be to full of love even the so called satain could not wipe the smile from his face. A contract is between a party that does not trust the other so Like you I say lets call down their god to stand by them and agree to their doing will he come down- we all know the answer god does not put his name on hate and distruction only love and happiness.
