Sneekeepete,

You are correct, in Europe in the middle ages, people were, “burnt, hacked, crucified, stoned”.

but today reasonable people no longer 'tolerate' such middle age practices of Islam, “amputation of one/both hand(s) for theft, stoning for adultery, and execution for apostasy” in contemporary society!!

In its essence, Islamists see it as Allah’s law to be imposed on ALL of mankind and do not share your perspective of cultural tolerance. If it were imposed at all, it would most definitely be imposed on you also, no matter how tolerant you were, and Islam assures us that such cultural tolerance will not reciprocate to you.

Sneekeepete,

Is your point that as in Europe in the middle ages people were “burnt, hacked, crucified, stoned” that Islam may impose similar middle age practices of Islam “amputation of one/both hand(s) for theft, stoning for adultery, and execution for apostasy” on contemporary Australian society?

In any event you implicitly state that Islam is in the middle ages…

Numbat you continue to throw insult after insult at Muslims , judging from your posts you have little or no knowledge of Islam. I am sure you have much information on Hitler and we all would believe you if you said he was a madman who committed great crimes against humanity, now if you were to go back in time to the early nineteen thirties you would find the media promoted hatred of the Jews, and there were many religious bigots fanatics who endorsed that hatred much in the same way you are endorsing/promoting hatred of the Muslims, it would seem that people who write to this Forum are not worried if their posts are full of lies , about a religious group they hate, why dont you look at the lives of Solomon and David because they too committed great crimes against humanity, in todays world they would be looked upon as being far worse than Hitler who never claimed God gave him permission to murder millions of Jews, we all know the claims made by Solomon who had to satisfy 700wives you would wonder how he could find time to execute thousands of his slaves, I challenged your brother Ted to call on his God to come down to earth to put the record straight, I am sure he reallised he would be a fool to take up the challenge , now if the none Jewish slaves had been allowed to take part in religious celebrations with the Jews .they may have not formed a God Club, maybe today you would be brothers.instead of bitter enemies,

Sebastian De Brennan has discovered brains in his undies,and is definitely playing with them.The only reason why anyone is considering this this nonsense is the violent nature of the Muslim faith.It is called gutless appeasement.Why do we not consider Buddist, Jewish or Hindu laws being introduced into Australian society?

An Afghani is now on trial for his life for changing from being a Muslim to a Christian.They say his only hope of saving his life is to plead insanity.Now this is 2006 and most of the Afghanis agree with this law!

Are we that stupid and blind even to consider such notions?

“It is only a matter of time before Sharia law is proposed as a legitimate means of resolving disputes as they arise between Islamic Australians. “

Another brilliant load of crap from a lawyer, just like his previous article saying rich young murderers should be slapped on the wrist. He's virtually telling us that we should accept some form of sharia law being presented to us. Pity all opposing god factions can't see the writing on the wall, that we are fed up with them forcing their useless violent ways onto us.

Others have expressed what religious law has represented over the last 2000years, but we still get these brain dead christians trying to tell us that its a lovely thing to be mentally deranged by religion. To the point where they are willing to accept barbarity in the name of their god faction.

The difference between islamic and christian/Judea religious law, is Christan/Judea have the biggest destructive forces and enforce their law under the guise of democratising or bringing to god the people they have invaded (in a coffin).

Nimbat, can you picture blood thirsty priests, involved in burning people, chopping their heads off, shooting them, blowing them up, invading and destroying their cultures, (read christianity). So whats different from Islam and christianity, nothing, your all despotic in your expression.

You constantly abuse people by referring to them as pagans, whilst having no idea what their beleifs are. Further you assume that your despotic belief is untainted and the only way.

A pagan is one thats unenlightened, that means the religious, in such an enlightened age. Most sensible people have overcome their fear and superstition of religion and moved on to a more realistic and peaceful approach. I don't hear any non believers condemning you to anything, we already know that your belief, has done that for you.

Bd, when are you going to say something that makes sense, instead of incomprehensible drivel.

To The Alchemist.....what medication are on?......change it, mate because it's obviously doing you no good!

mangotreeone1, whilst I agree with much of your post I suspect that the general intent of the comment about Hitler not claiming he was doing Gods will might be incorrect (unless you really intended it to be specifically about the murder of Jews). Recently there was a fair bit of discussion about Hitler being a christain, Hitler being an athiest etc. I don't remember the exact context but a quick search of the web came up with a number of excerts of speechs by Hitler where he claimed that he was doing Gods work. I wasn't able to find the post in my post history. I did another quick search and found the following reported quote from Mein Kampf straight up

Hitler wrote: "I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord.." that comes close.

You certainly make a good point about David, a polygamist, adulterer, murderer etc. Then we read "…and yet you have not been as My servant David, who kept My commandments and who followed Me with all his heart; to do only what was right in My eyes." (I Kings 14:8)

Apparently God was able to see what was inside and ignore the outside for David so Christains can regard David as a great man and I guess similar applies for Muslims in regard to Mohammed who appears to have done a bunch of stuff that I don't admire.
