"1/the Gospel of Christ... IS 'offensive' just look at how Ginx and Bugsy, CJ and Pericles react to it... (not putting them down, I'm sure they would agree with me here)

2/ The Gospel is more powerful than all other movements in history, always was, always will be till He returns." (Quote: BOZO)

..................see? See that? You can't, can you?

I think ALL religion is fanciful and silly. I find the way that YOU push, and push, and push it, as OFFENSIVE.

Look at your silly (and inciteful) 1&2 statements. 'They' say it's offensive/I say it is the one ; the only; and 'HE' is coming back....

You are a powerful magnet for annoyance more than anything else.
When you were born and the Doc' hung you upside down to smack your bum; he smacked you in the face didn't he? Then the rest of the queue did; didn't they?

DON'T mention my name in your posts. I WILL respond.

Boaz, you appear to be able to mislead yourself on the smallest topic.

>>Bear in mind..this thread is about a specific subject, and I'm offering perspectives on 'that' topic... is it out of order ?<<

The specific topic is:

"Some people say that if Australian Muslims feel they have been insulted by Australian people or by the Australian government, they might have a violent response to that and it can be a danger for Australian National Security in the future. What do you think? Do you think it is right?"

Your immediate response:

"the Gospel of Christ... IS 'offensive'... is more powerful than all other movements in history, always was, always will be till He returns."

That isn't "offering perspectives", Boaz, that is provocation, pure and simple.

On the subject of misleading yourself...

"I think the generalized hate you speak of.. is far more likely to arise from knee jerk reactions to NewsCorps very noticable 'marginalization' campaign.. and their exposure of Muslims in a bad light... than by me. Newscorp does not analyse.. it just shoots from the hip... I try to educate people about theological origins."

Ya think?

Your "education" is about as educational as a concrete block dropped on the head of a hapless passer-by.

"Please do not write any rude word about Christianity or Islam or any other religion. Thanks."

Depends what you call "rude" Angela. I respect peoples right
to believe whatever they want, not what they believe.

With religion, for me its quite simple. If they are Hare
Krishnas or Buddhists, they generally keep out of politics.
In that case I really don't care what they do and have little
to say about them.

If they are highly political, as are both Christianity and
Islam, then its open slather, as in all politics. Trying
to deny free speech in politics is a dangerous slippery
slope. In countries where it applies, religious tyrants
often rule hiding behind their religion, those who criticise
are locked up or even put to death.

It used to apply in what are today Western countries. Those
so called Christians used to burn people like me at the stake :(

Luckily they can't do so anymore :)

The answer is simple. If religions don't want to be in the
open slather that is politics, best they keep out and treat
religion as no more then a lifestyle choice, which is how
things should be in a secular democracy.

Not only danger for AUSTRALIAN National Security, but also for the world security, if 1. they get insulted , they've already got insulted, and 2. they become united , still are not united but one they they will. Inshallah :)

I just read Philos post on the other thread and yes it was insulting.
Instead off letting off steam you should consider how those comments might effect the other Muslim faith living here.
There is only one way to win a debate or even a war if you like and that is with honour.
If you see anything brave in creeping around in tha dark like a dingo then I guess thats your idea of honour.

Do you `really see` those lily livid cowards that are stupid enough to put explosives on their backs and blow themselves and innocent children and people up as heros?

Thats not the Islam faith I have seen.

No matter the colour of a persons skin OR their relgioun a coward is a coward.
These suicide bomers etc are also pretty stupid too.
Just think of it.
They are usually what we term extreme.
They are the idiots that think they can tell people - How to dress and what to wear and even what to eat.
[ I always said Mohamed was a good business man] To control what people eat and where they get itfrom is smart. Smarter than our Governments that for sure!
The ectreme often say women are evil and Muslim should not have a beer or look at a pretty women.
Then they are promised a life of all the wine they can drink and many evil women.
Whatever you think nobody has the right to tell others what to think and thats goes doubly for philo and I 'AM sorry' he has upset you.
Now show me who the better man- You or Philo?

Are you going to allow him to make you loose your temper again? or come back and and show the nice side of you and the Islam faith
Which one are you oZ the good Islam or one of the cowards?
You have brothers and sisters that could be effected by your words of anger.
Show me you care Oz
