Richard Dawkings interviewing Rowan Williams (the Archbishop of Canterbury) with Williams contradicting himself and then admitting that his "poetic" explanations of the world could be seen as an easy way to get out of a difficult question.

  • Poor old Rowan William. He is a intelligent, compassionate, and very decent man, and probably has no more sympathy with the fundamentalists than Dawkins. I think he just likes the churches and the singing and the bits in the bible about being nice to people, and would rather not really think about whether it is all true or not.

  • sometimes you wonder,do religious people really believe in some of their most

    outrageous claims.

    or they are just finding it funny to fuck with people?

  • Muhammad undermined family relationships, and ordered his followers not to show kindness towards members of their families who did not become Muslims, Quran 58:22

    In Quran 9:23/24 Muhammad tells his henchmen You who believe, DO NOT give consideration to your fathers & brothers, if they preferred to be infidels rather than embrace Islam

    And in Q 9:123 You who believe, kill قَٰتِلُو those who are related to you among the infidels, let them find in you hostility & harshness

    Cont. below

  • All this, so that Muhammad could easily force Muslims to wars & raids he planned to wage against the tribes & cities of Arabia

    In Q 9:123 we read that Muhammad authorized the slaughtering of fathers & family members, under the excuse that they were infidels who refused to become Muslims

    Muhammad knew that many fighting men of Mecca were fathers of his followers & fathers would not kill their sons

    As a result, many fathers were killed by their own Muslim sons

    Google: Islam - in light of history

  • Not only did Muhammad promote the slaughter of fathers by their own sons, he prohibited the sons to show any regret for killing their fathers.

    Abi Hatheifah ‫ ابي حذيفة‬killed his father in battle. As the dead body of his father whom he had killed was thrown in the well. Muhammad noticed the sadness on Abi Hatheifah’s face, Muhammad said to him, “It seems you still have some feeling towards your father?" He replied, I knew he was a good man and I wanted him to become a Muslim (Halabieh 2, p 430)

  • WITHOUT LIES MUSLIMS ARE HELPLESS.

    Quran, Hadiths, and the events in Muhammad’s life explain the hatred that began with Muhammad continues to this day

    Muhammad was never harmed (Bukhari 4:56:733)

    Quran 22:40 says Muhammad & Muslims were EVICTED only, NOT ROBBED or killed

    BUT! (Abu Dawud 38:4345) When Muhammad captured Mecca he NAMED 10 people to be killed FOR CRITICIZING HIM (CRITICISM is PERSECUTION)

    1 of them was HIS Quran writer Abi Sarh, who had said "Muhammad is a liar"

  • @miladmeah I'm not Muslim but why are you comparing a German political campaign and an Abrahamic religion from 8th century Arabia? Use facts to back up your argument then I'll believe you!

  • @sl9sl9 He was not 'giving tips on how to manage slaves', he was using it as an illustration for something else. You are either deliberately misrepresenting the Bible or a bit thick so all your other comments can be disregarded.

  • Muslim extremists are the problem - Moderate Muslims are OK

    DO YOU MEAN TO SAY

    During World War 2 Nazi extremists were a problem - But the moderate Nazis were OK?

    Extremists say: ISLAM or ELSE, your head

    Moderates say: WAIT - till - WE OUTNUMBER YOU - then your head!

    There is no Extreme OR Moderate SUBMISSION (Islam)

    Submission: Death to critics - Liberty: freedom of speech

    Submission: Death to Apostates - Liberty: freedom of Religion

    Sharia has made them leave ONLY TO BRING IT HERE

  • Muslims have mistaken Satan for God. Everything Muhammad did was Satanic.

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

    Jesus: For if you forgive men for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. (Matthew 6:14)

    Muhammad said: Allah forgives not that partners should be set up with Him; but He forgives anything else. (Q 4:48)

    Jesus: Do not judge or you too will be judged. (Matthew 7:1)

  • @miladmeah "Muhammad terrorist blah blah" - Er have you read the bible recently? In Luke 12:47 Jesus gives some useful tips on how to manage your slaves - which generally involve beating the heck out of them. It also endorses stoning women to death (Leviticus 20:27), and repeatedly commands Christians to murder everyone who has religious beliefs different than their own (Exodus 22:20, Deuteronomy 17:2-7, and countless other places). If that ain't "terrorism" then I don't know what is.

  • On this question - read 'miracles' by CS Lewis.
