Islam and the weapon of deception

[Danzig]

since i couldn't find the term i was looking for, i put that up. in general, folks who 'believe' a certain thing will find plenty of info to back it up, while ignoring or discounting that which contradicts what they believe.
i read what you linked in the beginning; where you're able find that it proves the u.s. is in imminent danger, i don't know....but i'm sure you feel that it's perfectly acceptable to find an entire religion to be dangerous because of a certain segment of that population, while there's no doubt in my mind you'd be apopleptic if someone was to take catholics (for instance) to task.

and now no doubt i'll be told there's no comparison...

I put thread up as a point of information. did you know anything about Taqiyya? I didn't say to string up all Muslims, did I ?? What do Catholics have to do with the topic? How do you people have conversations?...is it all soundbites or what?? Sheesh

that's just it, i don't think it's information. i don't think certain people are a danger because of the religion they follow, they are dangerous because they're criminal-minded. they use their religion to justify violence, they aren't violent due to their religion.

and your thread title was 'islam and the weapon...', not 'some followers of islam'. that seems pretty broad in scope to me.

I used the Quran which lists the verses pertinent to Taqiyya(which by their definition is lying to non-believers to further the goals of Islam) How can that be broad in scope? How can that not be information? I didn't parse the verses together.
With regard to criminal activity..their BOOK does justify violence....and the current wave of violence around the world is proof of it.
Hoss asked what are we to do...well, I'll ask you...What are we to do about this?

is it all muslims or not? you say 'they believe' and then say you're not saying all muslims. which is it?

then why worry what 'their' book teaches, if they aren't even all following it?!?! how dangerous can it be, if those this book is purporting to reach, isn't being reached.
boy, you've really thought this thru.
