Gaza Solidarity Demonstration in Manchester, UK 3rd Jan 2009 - Part b

One of many worldwide protests, demonstrating solidarity with the people of Gaza, condemning the illegal and terrorist acts of the Zionist state of Israel.

Muslims don't hate Jews (this is not a religious war ... though "war" is the wrong term because it's more like "genocide" of Palestinians who have negligible resources, compared to mighty Israel blindly supported by the West); we only hate the Zionist land-grabbing persecution agenda.

@romanali1 they came here to make money and live a good life not escape shariah

[romanali1]

"If Islam is so great why do all the muslims flee their countries to come to the West? To escape Sharia Law."

Not everyone flees. Why do people from the UK (for example) emigrate to Spain? ... For a better life in general; economic reasons.

It is presumtuous of you to think that the cause is the Shariah, especially since no country in the world actually implements the shariah as it was implemented in the time of the prophet pbuh. Not even Saudi. Shariah doesn't allow Kings.

"islam is a religion of peace but they commit the worst crimes"

Notice the words you used... Islam is a RELIGION ... but THEY commit worst crimes

Islam and THEY are not the same. They are Muslims, i.e. those who affiliate with Islam. It does not mean they are model Muslims.

"Islam justifies all of these things in the holy books"

No it doesn't. Show the reference (with context) if you are truthful.

"May His judgement avenge their blood!"

So much for turning the other cheek. I thought he was supposed to be here for love. You make him sound a bit bloodthirsty. If not wantonly, then at least for revenge. God needs revenge? Can God get emotional? In fact can God get hungry ... not know that the fig tree is not in season? is not able to force it to bear fruit instantly? and the God curses the tree?

That's seriously below the belt.

We love Jesus. We don't attribute false stories to him.

"Christ is my only allegiance!"

Great. For the purposes of clarity and making it easy for non-Xtians to understand , wouldn't it be better to say, Christ the son, God the father, and the Holy Ghost is my only allegiance?

..with the disclaimer that in fact this is not bad grammar, and that you indeed are correct in saying three things but using "is" instead of "are", since these three DISTINCT entites are actually one (and therefore not distinct at the same time)

"Truth sets you free"

-- Free of what? For me, truth is the truth. It doesn't set you free from anything, because that means that until you learn the truth you are shackled. My Lord is a merciful Lord. He does not shackle me in until I am fortunate enough to chance by some truth.

Islam says, the truth is there, and so is falsehood. Truth stands clear from error. You start from a neutral postion and you choose one or the other using your own free will.

Many Palestinian Christians have and continue to die from the illegal Zionist occupation; i.e. deaths caused by the Israeli military.

"You can deceive some of the people but not all of the people"

-- This is probably a true statement, but what's that got to do with me? Did you know that the Torah mandates that Jews aren't allowed to form a "homeland" until their messiah comes. Yes you believe he came as Jesus. We believe so too, but they don't. So why are they deceiving themselves that it's ok?

"Watch the videos on UTube to see how Islam treats people who hold a different religion"

Some people who claim to be Muslims indeed do terrible things. This does not mean Islam is to blame.

Hitler was a Christian. We don't blame Christianity for what he did. Let's be consistent.

I don't need to watch. I accept there are bad apples in every society. I lived in a Muslim country for some years. My Hindu barber didn't harm me with his cut-throat razor, and I didn't kill him. That's proof enough.

[romanali1]

"Now are they protesting against the muslim thugs that murder and target Christians in Gaza?"

No. Should they be? Maybe so. Are you?

Btw, Muslim is one who performs Islam. Islam doesn't allow harming of innocents. Self-defense is allowed however, as long as it does not transgress "reasonable" self defense. The meter for what is reasonable is already intrinsicaly placed within us, since we have God-given morality and believe in accountability.

Thanks.

I partially lost my voice after it. (chuckles)

It was worth it though. The message has to be heard. :)
