This was a funny article concerning the Jews that I got in my inbox.

Jews cause Polio and Aids.
An article published by an Urdu-language magazine for women in Pakistan has called the international polio eradication campaign a Jewish conspiracy being furthered by various international organizations.
you can’t make this stuff up.
 
To get us all to stop fighting about religion, here is a fun language fact: There is a verb in Arabic, tahatlara, that means “to behave like Hitler”. I found it in my Hans Wehr dictionary quite by accident while we were learning in my Arabic class how to look things up in a dictionary. The professor said “Great…you guys can’t remember how to say you’re going somewhere, but now you’re all going to remember ‘to act like Hitler’!”

Jefferson was a deist, he wasn’t an atheist; nor were any other founders (to my knowledge). But they founded this country on a secular rationalist foundation. The wall of separation between church and state was an immensely important feature of our founding documents. Moreover, there’s a more important thing to consider; which is the type of people they were. Jefferson’s favorite people were Francis Bacon, Isaac Newton, and John Locke. Jefferson himself was obviously extremely well educated and accomplished. He held rational thought and human liberty in the highest esteem. But he did find credence in cosmological arguments (as most deists did back then). However, if he were around today it’s very likely he would be agnostic (or perhaps, I dare say, an atheist), since cosmological arguments don’t find much favor anymore among academics (they’ve pretty much been thoroughly debunked).

David Hume (the pillar of the Scottish enlightenment) once said “I am an American in my principals” … and when you actually study and understand these thinkers, you’ll get a flavor for how they thought; and you’ll understand they viewed organized religion as mostly a bad thing.
You keep saying essentially the same thing over and over, as though repetition will make it true, and avoiding my questions. Why won’t you admit there is no “Creator” of secularism?

What evidence do you have that they were deists? A deist subscribes to the “clock winder” belief that God created the universe and then had nothing more to do with it, including the affairs of man. Yet there are founding father writings that refute the idea they believed in it, for example:
… The General is sorry to be informed that the foolish, and wicked practice, of profane cursing and swearing (a Vice heretofore little known in an American Army) is growing into fashion; he hopes the officers will, by example, as well as influence, endeavour [sic] to check it, and that both they, and the men will reflect, that we can have little hopes of the blessing of Heaven on our Arms, if we insult it by our impiety, and folly; added to this, it is a vice so mean and low, without any temptation, that every man of sense, and character, detests and despises it. … –Washington’s General Order on Profanity, and other issues, Head Quarters, New York, August 3rd 1776. [Emphasis added]
There are other appeals for “heaven”, “Providence”, “the Almighty”, etc. to aid in the cause. Now if they were deists who believe that God does not involve himself in the affairs of man, there would they be no use in praying for His help. So why did they do it? If God does not involve himself in the affairs of man, why did Washington think cursing was “a vice so mean and low, without any temptation, that every man of sense, and character, detests and despises it”?

So, where did this secular “Creator” come from and what is his nature?
 
I think that Staffsgt7 and KathleenGee have got the right idea. You notice how they’ve ignored bridgeforsale. I don’t put people on my ignore list…but not replying to their posts works well. Eventually a moderator will catch on to the tone of his posts.
 
I would like to start a thread but don’t have the time to watch posts…I have experienced or read several posts on various threads that go unheeded.

Some times I think people come on to CAF just to vent their biases…an emotional outlet.

It worked for you guys right? If you say it enough times you can convince people that snakes can talk, dead and decomposing corpses can rise back from the dead, and desert nomads can split oceans in half :confused:

Natural selection created intelligence, and secularism results from utilizing it (simple).

Where are these appeals, who made them, and in what context? A bare assertion doesn’t make something true (well, I guess in religion it does) :rolleyes:
 
A segment from the DVD The Third Jihad about the Muslim persecution of Christians.
Wowzers on the part where Dr. Zakir Naik himself is admitting that in places like Saudi Arabia the setting up of worship centers for other faiths is prohibited. Of course, that’s what the companions of the prophet enacted with the Christians, so it’s of no surprise. I wear a cross around my neck. Under the laws enacted by the companions and in some Muslim countries, I could be arrested for that alone.

Can you tell me how many mosques existed in Constantinople (prior to the Turkish conquest, of course)?

After Maj. Hasan murdered a bunch of people, a Muslim attacked a Christian wearing a cross around his neck. This was in a mall in the USA. Nothing more was said about it and I hope they took that attacker to court and sued the pants off of him.

I just purchased a shirt from Voice of the Martyrs that says “This Shirt is Illegal in 52 Countries. Restricted Nations 38. Hostile Areas 14.” On the back Romans 1:16. That speaks for itself.

Islam was completed with the commandments of Allah (SWT) through Muhammad, and came to a close on the day of ghadeer khum(Q), in the life time of the Prophet (S).
What people did without the permission of the Prophet Muhammad (S) was outside of the realms of islam. There was monotheists of the time (al hanafiyyah), but also lots of pagan idol worshippers. Traditions states that the monotheists built the kaaba before muhammads lifetime, but the pagans paid money to have their idols put inside. And finally, a pagan became the ruler and he marched inside ceremonially (i forget his name) and put his idol there. This brought conspiracy and with it, warfare. Muhammad (S) tried to join the believers in Allah (monotheists) but they were corrupted, similarly when Jesus Al Messiah (S) sees in the temple and overturns the tables and says u make my fathers house a den of merchants. Similarly, Sayyidinal Muhammad (S) sees in the kaaba, idols allowed to be in the kaaba (god’s house/baytullah) because of money, instead of God’s decree. It is his mission to overturn these tables. Should he (S) not emulate the message of Jesus (S)? Firstly, it is his right to spread the message of rejecting idolatry in all its forms. The government which was corrupted, began losing money, because the different pagan tribe leaders made money by peolpe giving large donations for the blessings of the various idols.Secondly, it is his right, as the Prophet of God, to destroy these idols, to overtake power over mecca, and give that power back to the original builder of that city, the rightful sultan, Allah (GOD/Monotheistic Rulership). Now, when this happened Muhammad and his followers were cordially asked to leave mecca and not come back, on pain of death. So, the Prophet of God is now asked to abandon God’s house on earth. What would you do? Well, Muhammad (S) left peacefully, planning out his next move. His plans consisted of sending his best intellectual islamic debaters on white horses carrying scrolls to various rulers inviting them to Islam and Peace. But, if they did not accept islam, they still were offered peace. But, if they refused peace, they were labeled as enemies but not attacked. Muhammad never went conquering nations, read the history. After Muhammad’s death, chaos ensued, hippocrites had infiltrated every level of muhammad’s (S) life other than his blood relations and those who he proclaimed as his children. They were not all hippocrite companions, there was very many great companions, but some of the closest confidants of Muhammad (S) were hippocrites, mushriks, and disbelievers. Similarly, for you Jesus (S) had to deal with Judas, the mushrik, who betrayed him to his death for a petty sum of 30 silver coins. And there was also the jewish priests who were also hippocrites, and they challenged Jesus (S) to debates, for they feared he may be the Messiah (and thus lose money).Muhammad (S) also, acted this way towards the hippocrites as Jesus (S) to Judas and the priests. They debated with him (S) and said show us a sign if you are the messenger, and Muhammad (S) by Allah’s permission pointed to the moon which then split in half by his pointing, and they denied his (S) sign saying “this is clearly black magick.” Meanwhile the Meccans were planning to attack the muslims in the desert lead by Abu Sufyan (allahs curse be upon him). They marched out and found the muslims and a battle ensued while the muslims struggled to defend themselves and their prophet. For they threatened to extinguish the flame of islam (goodness), the meccans lost the battle to the muslims.Now there was a jewish group of militants in mecca, and they had common folk but mostly army men. They signed a peace treaty with the muslims that their fortress was not going to do anything violent, but they broke the treaty and the muslims went there and asked them why, and they cursed and spit and jewish guard beheaded a muslim and the muslims yelled and attacked the jewish fortress and its caravans.Then finally Muhammad goes to hijrah to medina and the children are singing welcome song to muhammad tala al badru alayna with palm fronds as he rides into medina on a donkey, (like jesus in jerusalem). and thats how muslims got medina, by love. next, they recieve intelligence the meccans are back and oh **** theyre angry and gonna attack medina. they dug a huge trench because they were wide open. And muhammad said fight them and slaughter them until they are no more and so they did. But it doesnt mean to kill disbelievers for all time. Other fights/battles were caused by a woman named hamd, abu sufyans wife, because she wanted to eat Hamza’s (a close companion) heart. And that’s pretty much the story in a nutshell. Muhammad never told them to conquer nations, period. He said “bring the Message to them and offer them peace, human beings are equal like the teeth of the comb are equal.”
Holy Quran 4:90
“Except those who join a group, between you and whom there is a treaty (of peace), or those who approach you with their breasts restraining from fighting you as well as fighting their own people. Had Allah willed, indeed He would have given them power over you, and they would have fought you. So if they withdraw from you, and fight not against you, and offer you peace, then Allah has opened no way for you against them.” 👍
As muslims we must believe what quran tells us. And according to quran, you and I are all going to heaven as long as we follow the authentic teachings of a prophet of god.
Holy Quran 2:62
“Verily! Those who believe and those who are Jews and christians, and Sabians, whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day and does righteous good deeds shall have their reward with their Lord, on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.”

oops … my bad (thought the box was something I wrote so I didn’t read it). Anyway, did I ever say Washington was an atheist :rolleyes:

The names I mentioned were Jefferson, Hamilton, Madison, Paine, Franklin, etc. (but it’s also worth noting Washington’s appeals to providence don’t tell us much; Winston Churchill made appeals to providence even though he was probably agnostic, and Hitler frequently appealed to providence).

But awsome … bye bye (and happy fishing for suckers)

does it bother you guys that Muhammad was illiterate and had sex with a six year old girl at 52 years old? It makes me sick … :eek:
 
Dr Zakir Naik is a terrorist supporter and well known for this. But somehow he gets on youtube and islamic converts like to listen to him and then they immediately think salafis are the correct islam of muhammad(S) and blow theirselves up. But we need a new plan. We got to stop this, and at the very least lead them to a peaceful islam and label the false terrorism islam for what it is, false. A lie. Get real ppl, dont you realize, the more you push the idea that the real islam is terrorism (which for you is just probably having some fun slandering), the more new muslim converts will continue becoming salafis! Youre actually influencing new muslims into thinking sunnis are the original muslims, which would be fine if they became sunni/sufis, but they DONT BECAUSE THEY WANT THE REAL DEAL. So, they go the serious approach and inevitably leads them to a salafi claiming to be a sunni (which is what most so-called sunnis are and do) and then the salafi brainwashes the seeker. The saudi government claims their islam is peaceful but if you visit there or watch their tv channels, within 5 minutes (without doubt) u will hear some terrorist propoganda for your brain to suck up and die from.

youtube.com/watch?v=Bxk5AAA5FbI

watch this video and listen for these fun quotes from their beloved dr zakir naik:
“Every muslim should be a terrorist”
“If osama bin laden is fighting america the greatest terrorist, i am with him.”
and my favorite
“Is Osama bin laden a terrorist? I dont know.”
 
Well at least we agree that “Dr.” Naik is an idiot. He has unfortunately been a favorite crutch of some now-banned Muslim posters here. It is good to see that some in the Islamic community see how damaging he and his followers are to the perception of their religion around the world. If he appeals to converts, then those converts need to have their heads examined.

What are YOU doing to change Islam and NOT telling us what it is or isn’t but telling Muslims what it is and isn’t and what effort has been put into changing Sharia laws and deleting the sword verses out of the Koran the MUSLIMS READ in MUSLIM LANDS?

Sharia laws back up Naik as it also backs up the Jihadists. What are you doing to change where zakat is distributed to?
