Luke 10:25-37


Should I then just disregard it as you did with my statements about Islam's teachings about neighbours?





Very disingenuous Abu.

BECAUSE ACCORDING TO ISLAM ALLAH.....

Neighbors, are moslem neighbors.

"O ye who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allah is with those who keep their duty (unto Him)."
Koran 9.123

"Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. And those with him are hard against the disbelievers and merciful among themselves....."
Koran 48.29



And those that warrant mercy [kindness] from moslems, are ONLY those persons that enslave themselves, and submit themselves to ISLAM's authority over their lives.


"Allah forbids you not, with regard to those who fight you not for (your) Faith nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing kindly and justly with them: for Allah loveth those who are just.
Allah only forbids you, with regard to those who fight you for (your) Faith, and drive you out of your homes, and support (others) in driving you out, from turning to them (for friendship and protection). It is such as turn to them (in these circumstances), that do wrong."
Koran 60.8, 9i

Even complete strangers and 'unbelievers' are to be regarded as our 'neighbors' - according to God.


I think few Christians implement, or even believe this.



If they don't, it does not excuse me from not taking it 'on-board'.

[and yes, i have invited complete strangers, who i met [in the supermarket] in town, and had them stay overnight in my home. and they were not even Christians.]

Ah, you mean those people in the land that the God of Israel classed as criminals, BECAUSE OF THE THE WICKED THINGS THEY DID, and NOT because of who they were not ?


Leviticus 18:24
Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
25  And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.
26  Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:
27  (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;)
28  That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you.


Leviticus 20:22
Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, spue you not out.
23  And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.i

Abu,

Do moslems [in moslem majority nations] typically behave like 'Samaritans', towards poor NON-MOSLEM guests who are sojourning in their countries ?


Every single non-Muslim I've ever met who travelled through a Muslim country said they loved it, and the most talked about aspect is always the hospitality of the people. Interestingly I've met several non-Muslims (and people who are now Muslims, but were non-Muslims at the time) who travelled through the Middle East, visiting "Israel" also, and they all tell much the same story. Friendly, hospitable, welcoming Arabs, but arrogant, rude Jews.

Proof is in the pudding my friend, not in your empty words.



Exactly so.

Like I said, it was a separate incident. There have been recent cases in the middle east where foreigners have reported a rape to local authorities only to get imprisoned for a different count of consensual sex.




Please provide an example, and ensure it is not someone who committed adultery, and then tried to use rape as a way of getting off.



Also are we talking about Islam here? Or what Middle Eastern countries implement in the post-Islamic era?

You regularly fail to stipulate which one it is, and then run off crying that nobody will answer your questions and we're all changing topic, just because you refuse to actually clarify what it is you're purporting to speak about.

No can do, in Dubai.

December 02, 2007
"MODERN" DUBAI SAYS MALE VICTIMS OF MALE RAPE ARE HOMOSEXUALS

The below horrific story of the kidnapping and violent rape of a young French man, a longtime resident of Dubai, is lengthy and concise so I will keep my comments to a minimum.

Aside from the crimes committed against this man what screams out from this article is both the refusal of Dubai to recognize homosexuality and to demonize it not only allows them to use it against a victim as in :

"They immediately reported the crime, going in person to the local police station. But Alex says the police doctor who examined him that night seemed intent on proving there was no rape, just a consensual sexual act between three men and a 15 year-old gay boy. "

but also as an Islamic means to inflict greater punishment on an innocent victim:

"Homosexuality is against the law in the UAE, where anyone found guilty of sodomy faces years in jail.... the French consul, was so worried a case was being built against Alex as an illegal homosexual he advised the boy and his mother to flee Dubai before he was arrested. "

That seems to be a common theme in Muslim countries. Even Abu and Falah leapt to the same conclusion without knowing anything about the case.

Dubai is a British colonial state and does not operate according to islamic law. Its laws are mainly based on British laws:

Quote:
"It's no different than were we in America were a hundred years ago, right after or during the end of the Victorian era," said Hamden. "Even though we are seeing globalization, in the city that has defined globalization, were still seeing a value system that still looks like new Victorians."
http://abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=3932740&page=3#.T1wCUXlYWSo




Quote:
The Dubai government denies that the doctor accused Alex of being gay or that he was ever at risk of being charged with homosexuality.
http://abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=3932740&page=3#.T1wCUXlYWSo


Dubai has charged the alleged perpetrators of the crime and they face a death penalty. So what is the issue?


Quote:
The two adult defendants, both of whom faced the death penalty, have denied all charges.
http://abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=3932740&page=3#.T1wCUXlYWSo


Sound like the Dubai government wants to help victims and do what they can to make things better for victims:

Quote:
"We will look into the system, we'll see if there was anything deficient. And if we believe that there is any room for…improvement in that system of course we'll do that."


The Dubai government actually did not charge the victim and even gave a guarantee that that the victim would not be prosecuted:

Quote:
Armed with the promise that he would not be prosecuted, Alex returned to Dubai to testify against his alleged attackers.

Hereis another example:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qatif_rape_case


The "Qatif Girl" Rape Case (Arabic: قضية اغتصاب فتاة القطيف‎) is a much-publicized gang-rape case. The victim was a teenage girl from Qatif (Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia), who, along with her male companion, was kidnapped and gang-raped by seven Saudi men in mid-2006. A Saudi Sharia court sentenced the perpetrators to varying sentences involving 80 to 1,000 lashes and imprisonment up to ten years for four of them. The court also sentenced the two victims to six months in prison and 90 lashes each for "being alone with a man who is not a relative" in a parked car. The appeals court doubled the victims' sentences in late 2007 as punishment for the heavy media coverage of the event in the international press regarding the treatment of women in the KSA and Saudi judicial practices. In December 2007 the Saudi King Abdullah issued an official pardon for the two victims, citing his ultimate authority to revise "discretionary" punishments in accordance with the public good, although the pardon did not reflect any lack of confidence in the Saudi justice system or in the fairness of the verdicts.

Falah, is this a good summary of typical Islamic punishments:

Married rapist: death by stoning
Married adulterer: death by stoning

Unmarried rapist: whipping and a fine
Unmarried fornicator: whipping

Husband raping wife: no punishment (concept non-existent in Islam)
Husband having 'consensual' sex with wife: wife's duty

Owner raping a slave: no punishment (concept non-existent in Islam)
Owner having 'consensual' sex with a slave: likewise, no punishment

Is it fair to say that the only subsantial difference in Islam between sex and rape is that a rape victim is not punished but you can be stoned to dreath if it is consensual?

Google;
dubai laws "are mainly based on British laws"


Google results;
"No results found for...... dubai laws "are mainly based on British laws". "



falah,

On what basis are you asserting that law in Dubai is mainly based on British laws ?




e.g.
Is it lawful for a Dubai woman, to marry a non-moslem, in Dubai ?

As a Christian, am i lawfully allowed to build a church in Dubai ?

As a Christian, am i lawfully allowed to OPENLY practice my faith in Dubai ?

As a Christian, am i lawfully allowed posses a Bible in Dubai, and if i wish, to distribute  Bibles to my friends, natives of Dubai,
.....YOU KNOW FALAH, COZ WE CHRISTIANS AND MOSLEMS, "ARE ALL PEOPLE OF THE BOOK" ?
/sarc off


British law extends these rights to 'aliens'.

Does Dubai law, which is "mainly based on British laws", do the same ???

Doesn't say anything about neighbours. These verses are referring to people who fight and attack the Muslims. Obviously such people are not extended neighbourly niceties.

It's quite telling that both you and "Avraham" are here trying to use the way Muslims deal with those who are waging war on them, as supposed examples of how unneighbourly they are.

Right... and likewise the verses you mentioned above are referring to those who fought against the Muslims, and did wicked things. Are you so blind as to see it in one case and not the other?

No,  ......that verse was only talking about dhimmis, those non-moslems who submit themselves to moslems and ISLAMIC law.

But even then, dhimmis, in moslem majority nations, are persistently and commonly persecuted - BECAUSE THEY ARE NON-MOSLEMS, and for no other reason.

persecution in muslim countries




And in their persecution of non-moslems, moslems are merely obeying Allah's own directive.

Koran 48.29


"Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. "

Actually Abu, this whole equivalence of sex and rape thing is pretty new to me. You are right that we have been over some of the details before, and I hope I reproduced them correctly in that summary. But most of it is still pretty vague. I am especially intrigued by Falah's reference to a 'married rapist' as this appears to make the same distinction as is made for consensual sex. However for some reason he has gone all shy on me about it.

I do not think you have ever given me your opinion on whether Islam equates sex and rape. Going by the punishment, it is kind of hard to tell the difference isn't it?

Not quite sure what the point is with all this prevarication, Abu... Of course a book written for the morality of the times it was written is going to include barbarian and draconian punishments on women... Given that they had no rights in the 7th century. Mohammed had no way of knowing what 21st century mores and morality would be... How could he? He wrote the book with his times in mind and for the people of that time.

It's not hard to name it, Abu... All it requires is intellectual honesty.
