    Not sure which of 'those killings' you are referring to, but your post makes little sense anyway. Try again.

    Anyway, on your past form I'm not sure it's a good idea for anyone to try and convince you of anything that doesn't suit your transparently untenable apologist agenda.

    Still, as a worthy apologist you should be promoting the irrefutable 'fact' that foreign Christian forces are slaughtering peaceful Muslims willy nilly, and unblinkered people should be trying to persuade you otherwise. Don't forget, it's the Christians that started it all.

    Admit it, even as victims of Islamic terrorism report hearing Allah Akbar moments before the event, you would still deny it may have anything to do with Islam.

    Some of those killings are as mundane as family & business disputes, some (lots) are civil war & factional violence, some fighting occupying forces.
    We can safely remove family and business killings since these happen everywhere, even in infidel nations. Unless you would like to keep this open for discussion, but as it also covers honour killings I'm guessing you would rather not open yet another indefensible front.

    Not sure about civil war yet and well agreed for later on, but factional violence is closer to the meat, as are those fighting occupying forces. Only, there are no occupying forces in Iraq or Afghanistan, since the US is there on invite from their respective governments. If you remain unconvinced and would rather not believe those that see things differently to you, then you may believe yourself through your own posts on other threads for confirmation that both governments want the US to stay and in fact know what will happen once the US leaves.

    But well done anyway, and that's a fine emotive term that you managed to squeeze in at the right place.


    I wouldn't venture to suggest how many listed there would be defined by the perpetrators as 'in the name of Islam' but defining all conflict in the Moslem world as Jihad or Holy war is taking a rather occluded view of things.
    You're the stats expert when it suits, and I agree it ain't easy to commit to the actual number of killings committed by Muslims in these countries that are chalked up to Allah. But how about a wide margin of error, just for a clue, something like a small or large minority, or a small or large majority?

    Ditto to the second part, though I don't recall anyone defining all conflict in the Moslem world as Jihad or Holy war. You have created a strawman in order to defend it.


    When Catholics and Protestants are killing over Northern Ireland is that religious war? Or when Catholic Priests were egging on and in some cases leading the Hutu massacring the Hutu's, was that religious War? You may think differently, but I think not.
    Nice one, cling to Northern Ireland where to my knowledge neither side for a moment toyed with the ambitious goal of global dominion, and no limbs or heads have been lopped off on account of virtue, theft or blasphemy.

    Though the Hutu massacres were unpleasant, as with the Inquisition, the conquistadors and other patent distractions, they didn't happen yesterday and won't happen tomorrow. You have grasped yet again at a flimsy diversion to avoid defending Islam, but that's not new either.

    After deposing the previous government by military invasion of course- so obviously ones view of the legitimacy of the new government would be contingent on ones view of the legitimacy of the invasion and violent overthrow of the previous government.

    Certainly a legit question. A minority of those killings are in the name of Allah imo- most would be explained under the more mundane categories described. But lets not take our eye off the ball here- because we can and do agree on some things. Too many of those killings are in the misguided name of Allah, or Islam. But describing every one of these killings as in the name of Islam (while blatantly ignoring other killings in the name of God, such as Witch burnings & persecution in Nigeria) is an outright lie. Credible sources know not to resort to outright lies, because they will brook absolutely no credibility with credible people. But of course the source is an anti-Islam blog.

    Why is pointing out the obvious fact that many people, including ourselves, have killed in the misguided name of their God or Deity a flimsy diversion? If one seeks to win or contain a conflict, well it is convenient enough for the 'Grunt' to be spoonfed the usual dehumanising propaganda, this is indeed a commonly used strategy. But the people responsible for the strategic management of a conflict are certainly not this dumbed down. I guess thats why they are paid more, and for that matter die less.

    Call me a hopeless romantic, but in Issue's we should and in many cases do think above the level of a 'Grunt'.

    A Second Villa Trashed in Lombok after Alleged Insult to Islam

    Lombok. A second foreigner residing on Lombok Island in Indonesia has found himself the object of local wrath for allegedly defiling Islam during the fasting month of Ramadan.

    Locals from Sidemen village on Lombok’s main tourism area of Senggigi told the Jakarta Globe on Tuesday that hundreds of residents had attacked and wrecked a villa belonging to a German national and torched his motorcycle for blaspheming Islam.

    Police identified the man as Stephen Alexander, 35, also known as Abu-Can Peter.

    Mustan, a local, said Alexander discovered that a vandal had decapitated one of the statues in front of his villa on Monday evening and took the severed head to the home of village chief Amalsah.

    “He came carrying the statue head and got angry at the village chief, accusing the villagers of damaging his statues.”

    Alexander threatened to report the vandalism to the police if Amalsah could not find the vandal within two weeks, Mustan said.

    He said villagers had just finished tarawih (evening prayers during Ramadan) and were insulted when Alexander demanded to know, “What kind of Muslims we were?”

    “His words were deeply hurtful.”

    As Alexander fled for the forest, the enraged villagers trashed the resident’s villa and burned his motorcycle.

    Alexander, who has lived in the Lombok for ten years and is married to an Indonesian, only emerged from the forest when police arrived. They promptly arrested the expatriate and are holding him in protective custody at Senggigi Police headquarters.

    Luke Gregory Lloyd, 64, meanwhile, is facing the prospect of six years in jail after he was charged with blaspheming Islam and immigration violations after disrupting a late-night Koran recital in a mosque near his house in Kuta, Lombok, on Aug. 22.

    Police allege the American expatriate barged into the prayer session with his shoes on, unplugged a microphone and may have even assaulted one of the worshippers.

    Lloyd, whose home was also trashed, denies the charges.


    A Second Villa Trashed in Lombok after Alleged Insult to Islam | The Jakarta Globe

    The foked up ideology running business as usual in what the blinkered left call a 'secular' Muslim state. Aside from Christians in Indonesia, much the same is happening only worse to Copts in Egypt, the Ahmadi in Pakistan, girls going to school in Afghanistan, women demanding recognition as humans in several Islamic nations, and even non-Muslims living in their own Western countries. Behind all of this and more, is none other than Islam.

    Will take a while, but as it becomes clear and apologists can no longer dodge or defend Islam as the underlying cause in Indonesia, which is still a way behind the more 'advanced' and decayed Islamic nations, no doubt they'll find some way to blame the West.

    Fact is, there is no concept of separation of religion and state in Islam, since each is the other and cannot survive except fused together as one.

    ^ Sad. An old colleague is married to an Indo with a resort on Lombok. She took the kids and went to Singapore to get work several years ago, saying the muslims really feked their biz and she feared for the safety of herself and the kids. The resort biz has been trashed for years.

    One wonders how he can actually live in Indon then. The recent 'Queens Mosque' incident in NYC is an example of a much more rational response to insult and provocation.

    If we apply a dose of sab's 'litmus test', and send a turban clad operative to urinate on a church altar or pew whilst a religious service is in progress (hurling abuse of course), obviously the response from the gathered Faithful might vary. I like to think that, on average, it would be more like the 'Queens mosque' than 'Lombok villager' response.

    When in Rome etc. etc.

    With 10 yearsexperience incountry the Kraut should have known not to question the locals faith.

    No sympathy.

    Advice: Get out of the country if you can't deal with locals.

    Same advice I'd give a Muslim in America, BTW.

    Let's see now, 16000 Islamic terror attacks in 9 years = 148 attacks per month.

    Ramadan is supposed to be a peaceful month, so one might imagine that the scorecard for this Ramadan would run at below the monthly average, not 30% above.

    Well done, Muslims of the world, Allah will be most pleased.

    More recent offerings of Islamic porn for the ideology of filth...

    Dhaka: Muslim girl raped by teacher during Ramadan
    BANGLADESH Dhaka: Muslim girl raped by teacher during Ramadan - Asia News

    She obviously deserved it for being born a Muslim. Oops, maybe it's only Catholics that rape kids, or more likely, only Catholics that are scorched by the Zionist controlled media for raping kids while Islam gets the nod on child abuse.

    When the parents found the girl, she was bleeding in her genital area and had bruises all over the body. Soon after, they took her to a local hospital, where she is still in critical conditions.
    I can understand the bleeding, but surely a good Muslim wouldn't beat up an 11-yr-old girl during the peaceful month of Ramadan. She must have tripped.

    Teachers killed in restive southern Thailand
    The Associated Press: Teachers killed in restive southern Thailand

    Boring, I know, but not to the teachers or their families, though I can't imagine why anyone might think Islam has anything to do with this.

    The Narathiwat Teachers Federation called for more than 300 schools across the province to close Wednesday for several days, but it was not immediately clear how many opted to shut. One district in the province said five out of 157 schools would close for the rest of the week.
    As Islam does not compel its mindless objects to become educated, it also aims to disrupt education for non-Muslim children. I might agree that education is bad, but only for Muslims since they may learn to use their brain and thus learn they're being suckered!

    Egyptian Cleric: Allah Honors Wives With Beatings

    "The prophet Muhammad said: "Don't beat her in the face, and do not make her ugly."See how she is honored...In addition, there must not be more than ten beatings, and he must not break her bones, injure her, break her teeth, or poke her in the eye. There is a beating etiquette. If he beats to discipline her, he must not raise his hand high. He must beat her from chest level. All these things honor the woman."

    Are there really schools out there where Muslims go to learn how to beat their wives? Any of our more devoted Muslims care to provide links?

    Here's a good one. The executive of the cable station intended to improve Islam's image, beheaded his wife in a demo of true Islamic fervour rather than the plastic version reserved for fools. Anyway, last year he tried for an insanity defence, the judge told him to fok off, so he changed it to spousal abuse by his wife. All he needs now is a Muslim or two on the jury, which is easy enough to demand using farang standards of fair play, and he'll be in a strong position to plea bargain.

    The Associated Press: Teachers killed in restive southern Thailand

    Boring, I know, but not to the teachers or their families, though I can't imagine why anyone might think Islam has anything to do with this.

    The Narathiwat Teachers Federation called for more than 300 schools across the province to close Wednesday for several days, but it was not immediately clear how many opted to shut. One district in the province said five out of 157 schools would close for the rest of the week.
    As Islam does not compel its mindless objects to become educated, it also aims to disrupt education for non-Muslim children. I might agree that education is bad, but only for Muslims since they may learn to use their brain and thus learn they're being suckered!

    Egyptian Cleric: Allah Honors Wives With Beatings
    Weasel Zippers

    "The prophet Muhammad said: "Don't beat her in the face, and do not make her ugly."See how she is honored...In addition, there must not be more than ten beatings, and he must not break her bones, injure her, break her teeth, or poke her in the eye. There is a beating etiquette. If he beats to discipline her, he must not raise his hand high. He must beat her from chest level. All these things honor the woman."

    Are there really schools out there where Muslims go to learn how to beat their wives? Any of our more devoted Muslims care to provide links?

Anyway, last year he tried for an insanity defence, the judge told him to fok off, so he changed it to spousal abuse by his wife. All he needs now is a Muslim or two on the jury, which is easy enough to demand using farang standards of fair play, and he'll be in a strong position to plea bargain.

    Saudi divorces wife over cheese sambosa

    A Saudi man beat up his wife and divorced her just before the end of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan because she stuffed his sambosa pie with cheese not meat, Kabar Arabic language daily reported on Thursday.

    The unidentified husband returned home from work in Riyadh and asked his wife to make meat sambosa for his iftar (Ramdan evening meal), the paper said.

    "Instead of putting meat in the pie, she stuffed it with cheese...when her husband tasted it, he was mad...he beat her up, divorced her and kicked her out."

    Quite disgraceful behaviour by a Saudi wife who's total responsiblity is to cater solely for her husband. I am surprised that her punishment wasn't stoning which she quite cleary fully deserved. She is an idle good for nothing who needs to get her mind corrected. Her husband quite clearly has been too tolerant with her in the past and he himself may be in need of further training. Lets hope that he can put her right before any futher punishment is required.

    Christian worshippers attacked in Indonesia

    BEKASI, Indonesia — Assailants stabbed a Christian worshipper in the stomach and pounded a minister in the head with a wooden plank as they headed to morning prayers Sunday outside Indonesia's capital.

    Neither of the injuries appeared to be life-threatening.

    No one claimed responsibility for the attacks. But suspicion immediately fell on Islamic hard-liners who have repeatedly warned members of the Batak Christian Protestant Church against worshipping on a field housing their now-shuttered church.

    In recent months, they have thrown shoes and water bottles at the church members, interrupted sermons with chants of "Infidels!" and "Leave Now!" and dumped piles of feces on the land.

    Local police Chief Imam Sugianto said Asia Sihombing, a worshipper, was on his way to the field when assailants jumped off a motorcycle and stabbed him in the stomach.

    The Rev. Luspida Simanjuntak was smashed in the head as she tried to come to his aid.

    "I was trying to help get him onto a motorcycle so we could get him to a hospital," she told reporters in the industrial city of Bekasi, 25 miles (40 kilometers) east of Jakarta.

    She said the face of one of the assailants looked familiar.

    Indonesia, a secular country of 237 million people, has more Muslims than any other in the world. Though it has a long history of religious tolerance, a small extremist fringe has become more vocal in recent years.

    Leading the charge against the Batak Christians has been the Islamic Defenders Front, which is pushing for the implementation of Islamic-based laws in Bekasi and other parts of the nation.

    They are known for smashing bars, attacking transvestites and going after those considered blasphemous with bamboo clubs and stones. They also pressured the local government early this year to shutter the Batak church.

    Perpetrators are rarely punished or even questioned by police.

    President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, who relies heavily on Islamic parties in parliament, has been widely criticized in the media for failing to crack down on hard-liners.

    But he immediately called on authorities to investigate and to hold accountable those responsible for Sunday's attack.

    "We know who's behind it," said Maj. Gen. Timur Pradopo, the police chief in Jakarta, without elaborating. "But I don't believe this is an inter-religous conflict."


    Sure, it never does have anything to do with religion!

    TruthTube. tv -

    WARNING - Graphic even to staunch apologists, and especially those without a coat or two of extra thick!

    Nothing at all to with religion, just a coincidence that more pesky Christians refuse to learn they shouldn't be provoking Allah's dysfunctional warriors.


    For decades, non-Muslims have been butchered by Muslims and then lectured that they are to blame for what has happened to them. A classic case of perpetrators demanding they be viewed as the victims or else! And we fall for it time and again.

    We are being lied to by our leaders, our media and others that we should be able to trust, drumming into us that we need special sensitivity to the never ending demands of Islamic culture, and that it's a religion of peace.

    We are being constantly and falsely accused of intolerance by those who wrote the book on intolerance.

    Isn't Ramadan to do with self awareness, self control, and peace?

    Would any of our devout Muslims care to offer an opinion? If not, how about some of our mediocre Muslims? Okay then, an apologist or two!

    The second part means nothing to me since I'm no lover of the Bible. But I do agree with the first part, insofar as you obviously didn't intend that for Muslims, right?

    I have put this here rather than in its own thread which it probably merits but might antagonise sensitive nostrils.

    I don't expect too many words of condemnation from our resident Muslims and apologists, who will claim these disfigured women are either just a "small minority" or probably deserved it!

    I wish I knew it has nothing to do with Islam, wouldn't have bothered posting it.

    Someone once told me that not all Muslims are terrorists and some terrorists are not Muslim. I shall keep that in mind next time anything happens that needn't be brought up unless it's exclusive to Islam.

    Btw you do know the two most effective scams on TD are to excuse the common element by treating an exception as the rule, and to create a diversion by showing the rest of the world is also not perfect.

    It's un-Australian ... rally condemns push to ban burqa

    It's un-Australian ... rally condemns push to ban burqa
    Jacqueline Maley
    September 20, 2010

    Islamic values are superior to ''flawed'' Western secular values and non-Muslims are in no position to lecture Muslims about the oppression of women, a speaker said yesterday at a Sydney rally against proposals to ban the burqa.

    ''Despite the intense negative propaganda against Islam and in particular the lies about its treatment of women, the number of Western women embracing Islam continues to rise at a rapid rate,'' said Fautmeh Ardati, a member of the Islamic group Hizb ut-Tahrir. ''By turning their backs on this flawed way of life, it is testament of the superiority of Islamic values over Western values.''

    Women did not wear Islamic dress out of freedom of choice, Ms Ardati told the Lakemba rally.

    ''Because to use freedom of choice as a justification, then we are also accepting of women who undress out of this same freedom of choice, and we can never do this as Muslim women. We dress like this because it is the command of Allah, not any man.''

    Women had two options, she said. ''The Western secular way of life, which robs a woman of her dignity, honour and respect, where she is considered little more than a commodity to be bought and sold, or the option of Islam, where a woman's dignity, respect and honour are priceless.''

    Later she cited high rates of rape and domestic violence and said: ''They are in no position to be lecturing us about oppression and subjugation.'' Ms Ardati was one of five speakers at the rally, held at Parry Park, in reaction to a recent unsuccessful attempt by the NSW MP Fred Nile to introduce a bill banning the burqa.

    The Premier, Kristina Keneally's recent statement re-affirming the right of Muslim women to wear the burqa was welcomed but Ms Ardati said the support of key politicians did not mean Muslims could ''relax''.

    ''Even if this bill is not passed in NSW now, who knows what will happen in one week, one month or one year?'' Ms Ardati said.

    There were about 2000 people at the rally, with men and women segregated by a row of plastic markers. Male speakers spoke to the crowd from a podium at the front. The two female speakers spoke from the women's section, meaning most of the men had their backs turned to them.

    Sheikh Shady al-Suleiman said Muslims loved Australia but rejected interference in the practice of their religion. ''Keep away from our affairs,'' he said.

    Umm Jamaalud-Din said Mr Nile's ''un-Australian'' bill had ''open[ed] the floor to racist elements that exist within Australian society'' who would now feel they could vilify, abuse and possibly assault Muslim women.

    ''I feel empowered by the knowledge that I am in control of displaying my beauty to whom I choose,'' she said.

    ''I can move freely throughout society without being subjected to the eyes of every Tom, Dick and Harry and not be judged on face value but rather for who I am as a person.''

    Earlier, organisers had told people not to speak to the media. One woman wearing a burqa said she would have to ask her husband before speaking to the Herald. When asked if she needed her husband's permission to speak, she said: ''We are allowed but we choose not to.''
