Someone wake me up when the preaching in this thread ends.

told you all we were in for a Rough Ride!

But...but... I don't want to go up San Juan Hill.

i see you don't know much about islam...

I never much liked fiction. You get that with him..

Louis should have stuck to his Fiddle and singing the Calypso!

I agree, Louis and Belafonte should do an album. Rap Calypso.
Maybe he would have a larger audience than at the church where he spoke.

you are correct, and I love the english language for all the ways that context and culture dictate meaning

in political speak, or media speak, however,,, RADICAL as it relates to religion is the term chosen when people are violent

when people are passive,, they call them FUNDAMENTALISTS

LOL I am a teacher of Islam.

Extremism means, literally: driving (something) to the limit, to the extreme.

There is no political party that calls itself "right-wing extremist" or "left-wing extremist", and there is no sect of any religion that calls itself "extremist" or which calls its doctrine "extremism".

The term extremist is used to describe groups and individuals who have become radicalized, in some way, even though the term radical originally meant to go to the root of a (social) problem. The term radical is one not normally regarded as pejorative and, unlike extremist, is sometimes used by groups in their description of themselves.
The term extremist is often used with reference to those who use or advocate violence against the will of society at large, but it is also used by some to describe those who advocate or use violence to enforce the will of the social body, such as a government or majority constituency.

So, I do not call you to think about extremist measures against the Islamic terrorism but about "radical" measures to prevent the Islamic terrorism.

What could be these measures? Any thoughts?

P.S.: Fundamentalism tries to recapture an ideological "purity" within a religion, that supposedly has been lost by mainstream adherents of the religion at large. Fundamentalists often assert the primacy of their own idiosyncratic interpretation of religious texts over centuries of acquired knowledge and practice. Just some definitions for you cuz my English is poor...

i'm a lion-taming astronaut...

I teach thousands Muslims their Islam.

whatever...if you say so

Impressive Vs.

I'd be grateful to you if you could help teach me this:

I've read that not only has this divine edict been used by Muslims to excuse the murder of Westerners.
That is has also been used by Sunni to murder Shi'ah, by Shi'ah to murder Wahabbi, etc.

If you teach Islam, please teach me why I should not think of Islam as a murderous cult; and not a noble path to the benevolent divine.

Note:
I wanted a copy of the Holy Qur'an, not so I could convert, but so I could see what was driving so many of my fellow humans mad.
But all the sources I found for English translation Holy Qur'an explicitly said:
- there is no official English version of the Holy Qur'an
- the only official Holy Qur'an is written in Arabic
I don't speak Arabic.
I also note, some English translations use the word "pagans", instead of "infidels".
I'm not sure how much that matters, as all the English translations I've read use the word "slay".

Hi my friend,

I will teach you Islam today:

5:33-The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution (by beheading), or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter;

8:12- I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off.

47:4- Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), strike off their heads; at length; then when you have made wide Slaughter among them, carefully tie up the remaining captives: thereafter (is the time for) either generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down its burdens.

(1) This is the "military" jihad in Islam. We have in the Bible jihad too. Some verses are translated in Arabic as "Jihad" too. But our fight is not the same what we see in the Quran.
Do you know what is the difference?

(2) We have a shahyd too. He is the Son of God and many other shahyds in His Kingdom. What is the difference between them and the Islamic shahyds?

(3) We have mujahideen too. Who are they?

(4) We have "Caliphate" too. Do you know what is this?

As you can see, the true Islam is in the Holy Bible. If you thought to be a convert into Islam than that is the right time for you.
I am your Imam and I will convert you. I offered you that already in DM. LOL and No response yet.

where is the Canadian Sheik when you need him?

yea, seems that if it were true, you would be doing it headless... muslims don't really like that very much...

right? the mingle teacher of muslim...lol
