This thread has expired into the usual low-quality Muslim discussion- goodbye anyone that is actually going to stick around this thing

Sad to see that you have decided to get back on your favourite whack-a-mozzie hobbyhorse, Boaz. I thought that your foray into the world of conspiracy would be sufficient to keep you busy.

No matter.

It's the same-old, same-old, isn't it. Taking a view on someone else's religion, from the vantage point of your own. Given that yours is something of an extremist take on Christianity, this is to be expected.

But I'm not here to cover old ground, you manage that perfectly well on your own. But this deceitful piece of sleight-of-hand caught my eye.

>>Infufficient attention is given by most commentators on the significance of these writings in seeking to understand the mindset of either Burqa or Bomber.<<

By putting the two next to each other, you are equating the adoption of a piece of clothing, with terrorism.

Hardly subtle. And totally reprehensible.

OOPS.. "noting" not 'nothing'.

Pericles.. I am connecting the idea of 'purity of faith' to both burqa and bomber. I have shown from the hadith about Umar, and his understanding of the words of Muhammad, that there is a clear basis for self sacrificing attacks on non Muslims... you do see that ..don't you ? (I mean..you did study english?)

If you cannot see with the eyes God gave you (whether you admit that or not) the meaning of words on a page and in context.. that the foundation of both burqa and bomber are the same.. irrespective of whether the burqa wearer goes out and bombs, then poor you.

You are still trying to understand spiritual attitudes from a secular perspective, that's why you go so haywire in your outbursts.

My contributions on thread are in harmony with the topic and title.

There's no point in speaking about the Gore/Strong/Zoi/Democrat conspiracy here is there ?

Although there is a point of intersection...the Democrat side of american politics is supporting that tribute to Japanese bravery at Peal Harbour.. u know the shinto shrine with all the names of the pilots inside..and it will be opened on the anniversary of the attack..and oh..yes..it will be called 'The heavenly pearl' shrine.

Oh wait.. perhaps it's something else they are supporting ......

That's exactly what is so thoroughly objectionable, Boaz.

>>Pericles.. I am connecting the idea of 'purity of faith' to both burqa and bomber.<<

You do so totally unnecessarily, since the two - burqa and bomber - are not connected in any way.

The wearing of the burqa has absolutely nothing at all to do with "purity of faith".

If it were, why has Syria banned the burqa in schools? Why is it not mandatory wear in Pakistan? In Indonesia?

Face it Boaz, you are simply stirring again. Deliberately equating clothing choice with terrorism is pure dog-whistle.

>>You are still trying to understand spiritual attitudes from a secular perspective, that's why you go so haywire in your outbursts.<<

If yours is a "spiritual attitude", Boaz, it is a highly unpleasant, and thoroughly reprehensible one. Forgive me, if I don't find the need to "understand" it.

I have so far in my life managed to avoid understanding the mindset that indulges in murder, rape, arson or peeing against a wall. I think I can survive a little longer without having to understand what motivates you in your personal fear and loathing.

Just having to observe it is tough enough.

>>My contributions on thread are in harmony with the topic and title.<<

Yet you are the only poster to have stated that wearing a burqa is the equivalent of suicide bombing.

There's "harmony" for you.

Sadly Belly you don't get it do you. O.T. was the history of man. N.T. is supposed to be God living with man, no more winners and losers or good and evil but about doing what is right for the good of All. We are all in the same boat and when you have winners and losers All lose. this election is about winners and losers not providing services for the tax payers. While party politics keep people focused on goodies and badies we miss seeing what they are not doing for us with our taxes dollars which should be providing services for the good of ALL,not just the winners.

Sorry Pero...I did not say the Burqa is the equivalent of a Bomber.

I said..... just in case you didn't tweak to it..

<Infufficient attention is given by most commentators on the significance of these writings in seeking to understand the mindset of either Burqa or Bomber.>

The woman wearing the Burqa is doing so out of her perception of obedience to Allah and Sharia law. (mindset) She is not doing it as a "clothing choice" like "Hmm will I wear jeans or a skirt today" Nope.. the only context for a Burqa is "strict adherence to Islamic law".

The point I was making, is that anything which involved 'strict obedience' to any religous law suggests we jolly well ought to know 'what' that religious law and/or tradition is about.. we neglect it at our peril.

Funnily enough.. the PSI do actually consider such things.

Pericles, our police security intelligence has blokes and girls with PHD's studying this kind of stuff all the time.. and correlating behavior with belief, they do know how to connect the dots and the verses even if you don't.
Having had a very pleasant convo with a senior PSI detective on this, I rather appreciate what they do.

But.. you already know all this, you just don't 'perceive' it.

Don't 4get...watch the USA on 8-28... should be interesting.
