(unless it suits their own personal tastes)<br /><br /><br />Now THAT is a hypocrisy that I can get into. lol<br /><br />It is true that their law supports their stupid and immoral book. And that is what "moderate" Muslims should be standing up against!<br /><br />For the most part, they simply don't call for the change that is needed.<br /><br />So they need to deal with the judgment they face with the knowledge that they are represented by that evil about which they stay silent!<br /><br />PeaceJ Burgoynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03283467415635166115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734346441675318707.post-74715081793102935292010-10-06T12:05:59.184-07:002010-10-06T12:05:59.184-07:00I would say Islam represents Islam actually, there...I would say Islam represents Islam actually, there is no misrepresentation. Their book states that these atrocities are in fact Lawful punishments for these "crimes".<br /><br />Perhaps the difference lies in the fact that Islam is a socio-political movement, there is no concept of rendering unto Caesar in the Qur'an/Islam like there is in Christianity.Garner As Misthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14483839977721112094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734346441675318707.post-15374097070175408792010-10-06T11:24:36.990-07:002010-10-06T11:24:36.990-07:00Sorry Martin but the bible is actually meant to be...Sorry Martin but the bible is actually meant to be taken very literally. Even jesus says that the bible is not a book for personal interpretation. In that it is no different then the Quran. <br />As far a when it was written, the OT was written over hundreds of years before Christ and by many different authors. Much of it is taken literally every day. And as I said in my blog Christians generally ignore the parts they don't like. That is why I wish that Muslims would do instead of insisting that the Quran is 100% true and then ignoring the examples that their churches most respected and elder spokesmen espouse. <br />I would have them speak put against the literal approach to the Quran and decry these terrible attitudes instead of crying offense and racism towards people who do admonish it. <br /><br />I am sure that we agree but type and text sometimes betray our meaning. <br />The point is that the minister is not the one misrepresenting Islam. <br /><br />Islam misrepresents Islam. <br />IJ Burgoynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03283467415635166115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734346441675318707.post-12405825013274221702010-10-06T05:12:15.236-07:002010-10-06T05:12:15.236-07:00Jay there is an important fundamental difference b...Jay there is an important fundamental difference between the bible and the Qur'an.<br /><br />The bible is a book written decades or even centuries after the events within it, by people who weren't there and who are relying on oral tradition and or working from memory. The stories are meant to be allegorical and are largely treated as such.<br /><br />The Qur'an is a single book written by a single man as the "revelations" hit him. It is not meant to be allegorical it is meant to be taken as the truth, the very word of god.<br /><br />Some Muslims do speak out, but it doesn't help "Islam" <br /><br />http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=cfe_1282507822<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOy7Rj71m4k&feature=relatedGarner As Misthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14483839977721112094noreply@blogger.com
