The islamists who follow the book to the very letter are the terrorists, they are slaying and being slain, giving this life up for the other in the cause of allah.



Islamist is just a word used to describe devout muslims.

Does Allah call those who don't follow the Quran to the letter munafiqs (hypocrites)?

How do you think that compares to chapter 9 in the promotion and licensing open-ended violence?


Personally, I think its far worse.

Chapter 9 at least gives exceptions for those who dont violate their treaty.

Deuteronomy? Just enslave or kill everyone.


The verse you quoted from Deuteronomy does not contain any motivation for rape and pillage in the way chapter 9 does.


And I thought you couldn't top your spineless apology for St Paul's misogynism.


Do you disagree with me?


Yes FD. Was that not implied?

Sure, but you like to have circular arguments if I don't make you say it first, and you often loose track of the argument in your emotional reaction.

Can you explain what makes the verse you quoted motivational?

I thought the bit about sanctioning wholesale slaughter and pillage was a bit of a giveaway. Note too that unlike chapter 9, Deuteronomy gives only the choice of either slaughter or enslavement. The Quran clearly proscribes either killing or enslaving mushrakeen unless they attack first.

Clearly the "motivation" of violence in the Quran is in the case of self-defence only, whereas the OT makes no such clarification.

no I am talking about motivation.

When a religious text tells its followers they are free to go a raping and pillaging without limits or exceptions - that is a motivation to go a raping and pillaging with no limits.

Such "motivation" exists in Deutereonomy, it does not exist in the Quran.

There is a clear cut boundary regarding the violence of taking the promised land.

The Hebrews were told to take the promised land only. (there is a clear cut boundary to the amount of land the Jews were given.)

The promised land had a defined limit going back to the book of Genesis

Genesis 15:18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:

Genesis15:19 The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,

Genesis15:20 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,

Genesis15:21 And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.

Deuteronomy 1:1 These be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel on this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain over against the Red sea, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.

1:7 Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates.

1:8 Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.

Joshua 1:1 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,

Joshua 1:2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.

Joshua 1:3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.

Joshua 1:4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.
...

Absolutely nowhere does the then covenant between Y.H.W.H. and the Hebrews, state that this was to go outside of these boundaries or people. Nowhere does it say that all religion must be for Y.H.W.H. and Judaism.

The O.T. is the antithesis of islam where muzzies are to slay and be slain until all religion is for allah.

They must never seek peace they are to dominate.

qur'an 47:35 So do not falter and cry out for peace when ye (will be) the uppermost, and Allah is with you, and He will not grudge (the reward of) your actions.

Conclusion: these bits of the O.T. are a historic account of the Hebrews taking of the promised land, they are time, people and geography specific, they lost their perspective thousands of years ago.

Conversely the qur'ans' theme is that allah hates all non believers and muslims are to rape torture and slaughter their way  to a world caliphate forever, until all religion is for allah.

A crime is a crime, no matter who commits it or where it is committed, Moses. The Jews committed by your own admission, Genocide.  They wiped out an entire people simply because some of those peoples ambushed them.  This indicates selective morality on your part because you condemn Muslims for all the crimes that some Muslims might have committed.  Tsk, tsk, caught out yet again.   Roll Eyes

I condemn islam today 2019 because it is the root cause of a human rights tragedy of unimaginable scale. The score would be in the millions of innocent people who have been persecuted tortured and killed by the people of islam because their qur'an motivates such atrocities.

All muslims who today 2019 support the qur'an as being perfect and unchangeable, by definition support the utterly evil human rights atrocities engendered.

Mose should condemn Christianity today 2019 because it is the root cause of a human rights tragedy of unimaginable scale. The score would be in the millions of innocent people who have been persecuted tortured and killed by the people who are not Christians because the Bible  motivates such atrocities.

All Christians who today in 2019 support the Bible as being perfect and unchangeable, by definition support the utterly evil human rights atrocities engendered in their daily lives.   Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Oh so now the bible causes people who are not Christians to commit human rights atrocities?

loony leftard ring any bells?

Wasn't that one of the early predictions that evil people would perpetrate all manner of lies and evil deeds against Christians?

Is this cowardly attack what you consider self defence?

Quote:
The Book of Jihad and Expeditions

Chapter: Permissibility of raiding the Kuffar, who have been reached with the call of Islam, without giving prior warning

Ibn 'Aun reported:
I wrote to Nafi' inquiring from him whether it was necessary to extend (to the disbelievers) an invitation to accept (Islam) before meeting them in fight. He wrote (in reply) to me that it was necessary in the early days of Islam. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) made a raid upon Banu Mustaliq while they were unaware and their cattle were having a drink at the water. He killed those who fought and imprisoned others. On that very day, he captured Juwairiya bint al-Harith. Nafi' said that this tradition was related to him by Abdullah b. Umar who (himself) was among the raiding troops.

Was the Battle of Lepanto another example of Islamic self defence?  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

You 'reason' like a son of Mohammed, Bwian. Very poorly.


Human rights are rooted in Christianity. No other religion has the foundations for universal human rights, only Christianity.
Trying to foist the 'perfect and unchangeable' Mohammedan wheeze about the Koran onto the Bible is something only an idiot would attempt - step forward, once again, Bwian Birdbwain.

ok, can you explain what you meant by motivational then?

Do you agree that Deuteronomy gives followers far more "freedom" to slaughter and pillage than does chapter 9?
