Security or Freedom?

published by Dave on 18 August, 2005 - 14:07

This is a pretty common debate in the U.S. at the moment. We have always recognized a need to sacrifice some freedoms for the security of the nation during times of war - this is common to every civilization on the planet. This is even more pointed now that we are fighting an enemy we really cannot see. Americans - and foreigners of all nationality are now subject to greater scrutiny at airports and other sensitive areas, and the strange case of American's caught engaging in acts of terrorism or fighting against the United States has led to their denial of access to the courts. Few people argue that these are not germane to national security, and certainly these reforms are popular, but the question is how far is too far if we still want to remain a liberal democracy.

ISLAMOPHOBIA!

Assallamu Allaikum
[b]Some info on Islamophobia...share your views pls...[/b]

[b]Islamophobia[/b]
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Islamophobia is a neologism used to refer to an irrational fear or prejudice towards Muslims and the religion of Islam. [1][2]

[b]Definitions[/b]
Authors who attempt to describe the term more specifically view it as a new form of racial prejudice whereby Muslims, an ethno-religious group, not a race, are nevertheless constructed as a race.[3][4][5]. According to them, a set of negative assumptions are made of the entire group to the detriment of members of that group.

America going to war with Pakistan

published by judda on 17 August, 2005 - 09:15

The London bombers went to madrassas in Pakistan, so did that Sajid Badat dude…

America exaggerates the threat of terrorism… but I am surprised it hasn’t made an excuse to go to war with Pakistan, like it did for Iraq (and now Iran’s next)…

Oh damn I forgot no oil in Pakistan…

Another stupid thread from Judda….

So why did I post it?

I’M BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORED!!!!!

Natural Order

published by Dave on 17 August, 2005 - 02:30

What is the Earthly punishment of God?

I have been growing to learn that God's will has created a natural order, nearly self governing. And that his commandments and the promise of punishment is not merely law and threat, but rather the reality of the situation. When the natural order is disrupted disorder ensues and bad things happen, when order is observed most everything functions smoothly.

Consider the liar.

As the bible states "And the fall of a liar is as if from the housetop" I am sure the Quran has similar statements on lying.

It's so very true though. In time a liar is almost always caught and some sort of bad situation ensues.

Freedom to Sin v. Puritan Utopia

published by Dave on 17 August, 2005 - 02:23

If men were meant to choose God - and not merely inherit their servitude from family/society etc. And God decided that it should be man's natural nature to have the ability to choose or reject him. What does that say about how we should organize our societies.

Should we be free to sin - no societal restrictions on murder, rape, fornication etc. So that there can be no way we were compelled to choose him?

Or should good decent godly people band together to create societies which strictly demand their citizens adhere to God's commandments?

Do you believe in a blood thirsty god?

published by judda on 16 August, 2005 - 16:09

Traditional Muslim Scholars have been teaching the Muslims that God inspired Abraham to sacrifice his son Ismail by slaughtering him with a knife. This is completely against what the Quran states.
While this gross crime of a father slaughtering his own son is mentioned in the Bible, it is not supported by the Quran. These teachings of the traditional Muslim scholars are only a reflection of the outside corruption and Jewish influence on the early Muslim scholars.
