You shouldn’t rub it in like that, you know. We know God sent you as a prophet, Y, but it’s bad form to let on.

Let’s just keep that one between you and I.




You are mistaken, K.

I am a fool.

Way out-there, on the periphery, ....with all of the other fools.

It is you K, who are among the worthy soothsayers, and the 'prophets'.

Not at all, Y. I won’t have a word of it. You’re a gastronome.

Dictionary:
gas.tro.nome
noun
a connoisseur of good food; gourmet; epicure.

Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them, Y.

Galations 5:22-23
But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

It is good to see you quoting your bible, K.

Did you take in, all of Galatians 5 ?




Galatians 5:22
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23  Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24  And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
25  If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.




Galatians 5:1
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

Galatians 5:13
For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
14  For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Galatians 5:16
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17  For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
18  But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
19  Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20  Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21  Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.


Quote:

"For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."









...
Moslems do not come to Australia, to be equal with Australians [which is what Australian society freely offers, to all immigrants coming to Australia]...
...to share our freedoms and our system of justice, and to share our peaceful society.
Oh no!
Moslems come to Australia, for one purpose only.
To be moslems - in a non-moslem land.
To bring and to establish the authority of ISLAM in a new land, and by 'persuasion' [moslem community deceit] [or by force and terror] to bring Australians into bondage, under ISLAM, UNDER MOSLEM RULE.





e.g.
Quote:

"[a respected moslem community spokesman has] called on Australian Muslims to spurn secular democracy and Western notions of moderate Islam...
...[moslems in Australia were told] that democracy is "haram" (forbidden) for Muslims, whose political engagement should be be based purely on Islamic law.
"We must adhere to Islam and Islam alone,"
Mr Hanif [said]"



http://www.jihadwatch.org/2010/07/australia-members-of-hizb-ut-tahrir-say-countr...



e.g.
Quote:
Pakistani cleric: 'We want Islamic law for all Pakistan and then the world. We would like to do this by preaching. But if not then we would use force.'

http://www.jihadwatch.org/2007/12/pakistani-cleric-we-want-islamic-law-for-all-p...



+++




There is no such creature, as a 'moderate' moslem, or, a moslem 'pluralist'.

A person who declares themself to be, a moslem, is a moslem.

A person who declares themself to be, a moslem, is person who agrees to be 'BOUND' IN SUBMISSION, by the religious laws and by the religious tenets of ISLAM.

Anything less, makes a person an infidel [i.e. a person worthy of moslem enmity and hatred].





"....Lo! Allah is an enemy to those who reject Faith."
Koran 2.98


"'Men, do you know what you are pledging yourselves to in swearing allegiance to this man [Muhammad]?' 'Yes. In swearing allegiance to him we are pledging to wage war against all mankind.'"
Ishaq:204


"Muslims are one ummah (community) to the exclusion of all men. Believers are friends of one another to the exclusion of all outsiders."
Ishaq:231







Dictionary;
ummah = = the whole community of Muslims bound together by ties of religion.

Dictionary;
Islam = = the religion of the Muslims, a monotheistic faith regarded as revealed through Muhammad as the Prophet of Allah.

Dictionary;
Muslim = = a follower of Islam.

And there i go again, K.

Re-stating the very same message, again, and again;

That ISLAM is a philosophy, which seeks to establish its own [political, secular] supremacy, through the mechanisms of deceit, intimidation and extreme violence.

And yet, you seek to castigate me, for speaking that truth.



Question, K.

Why are you a spineless apologist, for deceitful and violent political supremacists [who refer to themselves as moslems] ?

It isn't really a question which is difficult to answer.

It is because you consider yourself to be part of the mainstream of society, and normal.

[While persons like myself are portrayed as 'extreme', and 'intolerant' - for pointing out the obvious.]






http://compelled-to-accept.tumblr.com/post/38611192864/most-profound-calvin-and-...
Quote:

Calvin: Today at school, I tried to decide whether to cheat on my test or not. I
wondered, is it better to do the right thing and fail…or is it better to do the wrong thing and succeed? On the one hand, undeserved success gives no satisfaction…but on the other hand, well-deserved failure gives no satisfaction either. Of course, most everybody cheats some time or other. People always bend the rules if they think they can get away with it. Then again, that doesn’t justify my cheating. Then I thought, look, cheating on one little test isn’t such a big deal. It doesn’t hurt anyone. But then I wondered if I was just rationalizing my unwillingness to accept the consequence of not studying. Still, in the real world, people care about success, not principles. Then again, maybe that’s why the world is such a mess. What a dilemma!

Hobbes: So what did you decide?

Calvin: Nothing. I ran out of time and I had to turn in a blank paper.

Hobbes: Anyway, simply acknowledging the issue is a moral victory.

Calvin: Well, it just seemed wrong to cheat on an ethics test.







Ethics test ?

What ethics test is that, K ????

Hmmmm ?




Q.

Are we human beings, K ?

Or are we merely, beasts, with beastly instincts ?





Matthew 7:12
Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.






Quote:

....here is a concept, a truth, which i believe in;
What we believe, determines how we will act [choose].




Isaiah 59:4
None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.

Once again K, you FAIL [ethically];

A typical post by Karnal, confirming once again, that Karnal is not willing to reveal his real opinions in this forum, on any serious issue.

Once again, refusing to simply acknowledge, what is true








+++


No person who is prepared to carelessly abandon truth [who repeatedly refuses to acknowledge what is true], can claim to be an ethical person, imo.

Q.
Is any moslem, an ethical person ?

Can any moslem ["a follower of Islam"], claim to embrace an ethical life ?



A.
EXAMINE THE EVIDENCE;


Moslems will blatantly, and intentionally, and deceitfully misrepresent ISLAM to a non-moslems.

All moslems barefacedly lie, when they communicate with non-believers - so as to promote ISLAM's [and their own] interests.



e.g.

Taqiyya

Speaking is a means to achieve objectives. If a praiseworthy aim is attainable through both telling the truth and lying, it is unlawful to accomplish it through lying because there is no need for it. When it is possible to achieve such an aim by lying but not by telling the truth, it is permissible to lie if attaining the goal is permissible..., and obligatory to lie if the goal is obligatory. ...One should compare the bad consequences entailed by lying to those entailed by telling the truth, and if the consequences of telling the truth are more damaging, one is entitled to lie…”

Google;
"Speaking is a means to achieve objectives"
http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/quran/011-taqiyya.htm





Google;
taqiyya - the muslim doctrine of deceit



Google;
we smile to the face "while our hearts curse them"

Ahmed Akkari - gets an ethical 'pass', imo

http://www.d-intl.com/2013/08/23/the-imam-who-defected-extremists-run-all-danish...




Quote:

"The truth is that there is not a single mosque or Muslim organization in Denmark that is not run by Islamists. As soon as you enter the house of the believers, you are met with Islamism whether you want it or not. As soon as you become a devoted Muslim, you are infected by extremism."

Cant you also do some research and explain what Allah means in Arabic?

You seem to find it hard to know the dictionary meaning of allah but quick to point out isalmic vocabulary.
