Islam is where Secularism was not long back under Stalin, Mao and many others. Secularism has now santisized its killing mainly by using pseudo science to justify the convenience of destroying babies in the womb.Islam is more blunt.

@Robert,

<< Now, the Dar el-Ifta he oversees will suggest foreign media drop using "Islamic State" in favor of the "al-Qaida Separatists in Iraq and Syria," or the acronym "QSIS,">>

Sorry I don’t buy it Robert

ISIS is NOT al-Qaeda -- ISIS is more like al-Zarqawi's faction.
If you read al-Qaeda’s mail to al-Zarqawi, al-Qaeda was urging him--pleading with him to stop attacks on Shia because they wanted a common Muslim front against the West and Israel.

After they had disposed of the West and Israel then they would turn their attention on the heretical Shia.

ISIS is targeting every NON-Sunni is sight (ala al-Zarqawi - or Sunni Islam where ever is has the numbers)

I think the good Mufti is playing on/to the Western liberals fears of al-Qaeda ala: "see it's not us, it's that dastardly bad apple al-Qaeda"

As long as ISIS are calling themselves the Islamic State, that is the name of the enemy. If the Muslims don't want ISIS referring to Islam then the Muslims should go to war with them or at least fund the arms and support to those fighting for their lives.

Who's funding ISIS? Perhaps they need a few Daisy Cutters dropped in the their backyard as a wake up call.

SILLER, "Do any of them seriously believe in the 72 virgins waiting for all the suicide bombers.."

Islam is full of anxiety-promoting threats, it gathers the sorry SOBs who don't have much hope or accomplishment in their life and it bestows (illusory) personal power upon them to hit others hard and cruelly, and to go out if a blaze of glory.

None of the old mongrels who end them would do it for all of those promised 'virgins'. The old mongrels already have their child brides and plenty of them.

Jihardists are weak-minded, impressionable, vulnerable but dangerous young fools. Their mothers gain heaps though for they are celebrated in an ongoing way and given gifts and bask in the reflected glory. Children are cheap for them apparently. Contemptible.

A religion that does that must be regarded as toxic and must discouraged in a modern democracy. Tolerance does not imply unconditional acceptance.

First sentence of my second para should read, "None of the old mongrels who send them would do it for all of those promised 'virgins'."

True, I find nothing wrong with abortion provided it's done for the right reason. I.e. Medical fitness of the Child & Mother. Throughout History Medical Science has been hindered by Religion, even today with opposition to Stem Cell use. I.e. Church leaders were against using Penicillin because it would be used to cure the "Pox." If it wasn't for WW2 we still wouldn't have antibiotics.

So don't come that crap with me. Now where were we.

SPQR: After they had disposed of the West and Israel then they would turn their attention on the heretical Shia.

Exactly.

Wait until there all in one place, then.... Fly in some crows etc to clean up the mess.

Notice it doesn't specify the Age, Sex or Species. I believe there's Lot's of 50 year old Bull Camels in Heaven.

I notice of resident Fundamentalist is back.
