It was the triumph of the former that spawned the Islamic golden age, an unprecedented (until then) era of scientific discovery and rediscovery/collecting of Greek philosophical works, held in the largest libraries the world had ever seen. After the rationalists overplayed their hand and made martyrs of the traditionalists, the rationalists declined steadily in the Islamic heartland, though they continued to reign in Islamic Spain - Andalucia, where the scientific boom continued. 


How did the 'rationalists' make martyrs of the traditionalists?



'Rationalist' in Islam means a blinkered, black letter fetishist for the Eternal Word. A stickler. A traditionalist means someone sane who recognises that everything, including the Koran, is situated, contingent and subject to the obvious developments brought about by time and changing circumstances.  In Islam, the traditionalists always win because of Mohammed's idiotic pronouncement that the Koran is eternal and unchangeable. And Muslims follow blindly such an idiot  (they have no choice if they want to live) who would say such a thing.

Or the other way around. They are all mad fetishists.

They threw them in gaol and tortured them.

Yes I know, not very "enlightened"

Created or not?

People always looking for an out for islam being what it is today 2019.

Trying to equate Christianity and islam.

Christianity founded by Jesus, who never once killed a man, had sex with a child, thieved lied raped tortured or took part in mass slaughter.

He is regarded as the epitome of truth and righteousness in a human being.

For the first 300 years of Christianity, there were no killings.

Conversely, islam was founded by a practicing mass murderer, thief, liar, pedophile, rapist and torturer.

islam practiced all of the above from it's very first day of existence.

1400 years later what's changed?

Yet the loony leftards and *moderates* snivel around trying to tell us there is no problem with islam.

And on what authority do you have that never occured, Moses?  Oh, thats right, the Bible - a made up story book.  Gee, I wonder who created and edited the Bible?  Could it have been the Christians?  Nah, of course not, they'd never tell lies, now would they?

Out of a matter of interest, what ever happened to the Gospel of Judas, Moses?   Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

And whom declared it a "fraud", Moses?  Oh, gee, it was the Christians who declared it a fraud.  How amazing, hey?

If you look at a more objective source you will find:

Quote:
The Gospel of Judas is a Gnostic gospel whose content consists of conversations between Jesus and Judas Iscariot. It is thought to have been composed in the second century by Gnostic Christians, not by Judas, since it contains late-2nd-century theology. The only copy of it known to exist is a Coptic language text that has been carbon dated to AD 280, plus or minus 60 years. It has been suggested that the text derives from an earlier Greek version. A translation of the text was first published in early 2006 by the National Geographic Society.

In contrast to the canonical gospels, which paint Judas as a betrayer who delivered Jesus to the authorities for crucifixion in exchange for money, the Gospel of Judas portrays Judas's actions as done in obedience to instructions given to him by Jesus of Nazareth. It does not claim that the other disciples knew about Jesus's true teachings. On the contrary, it asserts that they had not learned the true Gospel, which Jesus taught only to Judas Iscariot, the sole follower belonging to the "holy generation" among the disciples.

[Source]

The circumstances of it's discovery only appear "shady" or "dodgy" because the Christians have declared it that.  They have conscientiously decided what is the only account that they find acceptable,  Just like the Albigensian Crusade, which effectively eliminated the Gnostic belief, the campaign against the Gospel of Judas has been mounted to destroy it as an alternative source.   Interesting that, hey, Moses?   Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

The main problem is the concept of martyrdom.

That doesn't exist in any other religion I am aware of.

Because there will always be a few nutters who become extremist in any ideology.

I suppose a few nutter Christians might gun down an abortion clinic doctor.

Misguided fools but they undoubtedly think they are saving unborn souls and acting in a righteous way.

But a Muslim who is a misguided fool might self detonate amongst a crowd of little kids , believing in exactly the same way that he is acting righteously.

These aren't oppressed Palestinians doing it for political reasons.
These are well educated well off often 2 nd or 3rd generation Muslim kids doing it for ideological reasons.

We really need to root out an evil idea like martyrdom.

There would actually be no shortage of people infected with this bad idea who would see nothing wrong with detonating a nuclear weapon amongst the infidels.
Why would they if they seriously believe paradise awaits them

That's one very dangerous idea.
The blind shiek , bin laden, al zakowi, all of these guys would be up for it.

To not understand that and try to educate people out of that is as about as bad an idea as it is possible to have .
It is wilful blindness.

Aquascoot,

That's what muhammad intended from day one.

A religion which promised paradise filled with big titted hour'is and little boys for the jihadists who committed suicide, raped, tortured and mass murdered their way towards creating the world caliphate of islam.

What I find interesting is your behaviour regarding the various writings of eons ago.

If I read you right you're trying to tell us that unaccepted writings which oppose the recognized book are the true version.

The accepted book presents Christianity as a religion of peace love and righteousness, isn't that what you would expect it to do?

Why are you telling us that the Christian doctrine should be as evil as islam?

islamic doctrine is depraved and degenerate, Christian doctrine is totally the opposite.

But you're apologizing for islamic depravity by saying that Christian doctrine should be just as evil as islam is, but the Christians cut all the bad bits out.

Well why don't you get your sicko muzzie friends to do the same with the qur'an?

Quote:

As I see it the plan of God for the salvation of the souls of men, has come and been fulfilled as planned.

Yes I know, not very "enlightened"


But still, for Muslims, they are the good guys.

Did they kill any of them? Muslims normally mean death when they talk about martyrdom.
