patrick, ah, ha, ha, ha, ha (cough, cough) ugh… stop it, you’re killing me. No, wait….. that didn’t come out right. Well, at least killing me metaphorically- with laughter, is better than killing me literally, right? But only you and your ilah know for sure.
So, let me get this straight. Early in my research, I was told by muzlims over and over that the koran could not be translated correctly from the arabic (which is how I ended up with 5 of these pieces of crap). Guess what? They all say the same thing. So much for the translation thing. Then I’m told that the koran should be veiwed from a historical veiwpoint, that is, what happened in 630 AD stays in 630 AD and is not meant for today. Well, the koran I acquired (free) from cair— that’s the council of American islamic relations, patrick, put that to bed in the forward. The message and actions of the koran are for ALL times. Now these morons (in the same book no less) say that you cannot fully understand what it means to be a muzlim unless you were brought up as an arab. You must have a “philological learning;an instictive ‘feel’ of the language and culture” as opposed to a non-arab(remember, the koran says that the best muzlims are arabs). patrick, the majority of muzlims in the world are NOT arabs. So what kind of cockamamie pretzel logic is that?
You people (and I use that term loosely) are totally screwed up.
Talk to an imam….. there you go again with the jokes, patrick. I can see it now, “Does your holy book command muzlims not to take Jews and Christians as friends and protectors”? “Oh no, it does not say that. What you are reading is a translation of the arabic koran and it has been translated incorrectly. The real translation says peace and love to all Jews and Christians”. (wink, wink)
Again, you might want to try another site, patrick. The good people on this site know exactly who you are and what you represent. I think they recognize your good cop-bad cop routine, but you and your sock puppet ilah, Bonzo are a good comedy act anyway. Keep it up and you may be held over for another week.
Hey, here’s a bumper sticker I saw: “It’s God’s job to judge the terrorists. It’s our mission to arrange the meeting”—USMC Pretty good, eh?
