Iran just testing us, it's just a matter of time before they become embolden and more aggressive. They are on a mission to destroy Israel  and improve the world tenfold by helping Sharia Law to become the world's norm.  Then we won't have to worry about those pesky liberals, women's rights groups, the gay community and other crazy religions  not feeling respected.  Because they won't exist, finally a country that is unified lol.

They have been on that mission since the 70's. Israel is still here and doing just fine. With lots of help on our part of course. I guess some dont get it that by a very wide margin people *dont* want sharia law. Including many people in Iran. ISIS tried and they are losing fast. To other ME countries more than us. Despite what some in the media are saying. People like freedom. Even people in the middle east.

Besides, Iran knows if they used one they would get one back up the ass. Their leaders are extremists but not suicidal. One thing about power, once you have it you dont want to risk losing it.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT ? Yes/No

 

 

The reigning authority on Twelver Shi”ism is the historian Emmanuel Sivan, who in his magisterial volume on the subject, warned that an integral part of Shi”a Islam’s belief and thought involves the initiating of a planetary conflagration. This belief system posits that Allah’s kingdom will be established on earth by the Twelfth or Hidden Imam, also known as the Mahdi, whose advent can be hastened by creating the right set of circumstances: friction and misunderstanding among the nations and violent upheavals in a welter of blood and fire.

Incredulous westerners who would pass this off as merely a quaint belief to be taken with a grain of salt, or indeed with a whole salt shaker, should reconsider. Sivan spends many pages describing and analyzing the Shi”ite vision of an “ideal, legitimate state to be instituted by its leader, the Hidden Imam.” Over the course of history, he writes, a “minority of Shi”ites, quite substantial and dangerous at times, would move from pessimistic idealism to an optimistic brand of the same approach””the imam’s arrival is imminent, God’s kingdom is bound to be brought upon earth by this messiah (mahdi), and one should help precipitate its descent by armed revolt.” The Mahdi’s arrival has been eagerly anticipated and rumor has it that Iran’s former president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad””like Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, a fervent believer in the Mahdi’s parousia””widened a boulevard in Tehran to welcome the savior with public celebrations.

Since when are extemists rational, logical, or non-suicidal? Always a dangerous assumptin that others think like you, and can be counted on to behave like reasonable people. Judge by what they do, not by what worthless agreements they sign. After all, you don't have to keep your word to an infidel, do you?

Question, do any of you know any muslims? Live in an area where there are many or where a temple is.. They are naturally a peaceful culture and regretfully a small group of extremists have taken it upon themselves fo terrorize the world.

Mr. Ted of The Hills Have Eyes, sir, it's usually almost, and invariably good to quote your source.

 

The thing I've noticed (for the record, I'm a Christian American) is that you always hear (and I never, almost, use the word "always") about the bad parts of any race or religion, and we seldom hear about the good.

 

I just can't understand why it's the innocent men, women, and (heart breaking) children that have to pay the price for ANY belief.

 

Yes, ANY.

 

Can't we all just get along?

The problem is Ter that even if it is a very small minority within the Islamic religion (say 2 percent), that number would equal the population of the United States. The are literally dozens or more videos on YouTube showing moderate Muslims wanting sharia law for the world. They aren't screaming it. They say it in a very calm and peaceful voice.

[PimpedOutPete]

Your correct about Sharia Law Steve but their is so much misinformation shrouding it that it's difficult to really know what's correct. My assistant is Muslim and she is as sweet and kind as one can be, I asked her about it one day.

 

In the West it's common for people to equate Shariah law with harsh physical punishments, polygamy and the oppression of women. Men and women are not equal under Shariah law, and same-sex relationships are forbidden.Shariah law prohibits bribery or special favours in court, demands equal treatment for rich and poor, and calls for the protection of everyone's property.

 

One of the major concerns of people critical of Shariah law is that it is subject to interpretation and evolution. This is rightly so for you have militants who wish to twist anything to their benefit.

 

Twisting and manipulating is not uncommon and our culture in respect to the Bible has done it from day one. The vast majority of Muslims wish to live in peace and have no desire to have their laws imprinted on us, but like always, it's the militants that get all the attention.

 

Like you Steve, I have deep concerns but I also know first hand that what you see in the media is not what real muslims are like.

You are correct Sparty, there is a vast majority that don't say much. Just like the vast majority of Americans who sat back and let blatant racism to happen. Jim Crow Laws were state and local laws enacted in the Southern and border states of the United States and enforced for years. They mandated "separate but equal" status for black Americans. In reality, this led to treatment and accommodations that were almost always inferior to those provided to white Americans.

 

My feelings are we go after the militants who use religion for promote their twisted beliefs. A white supremist walks into a Charleston church and kills 11 people. Why blame white culture or Christianity when it's a twisted person or persons.

[TheLastColdBeer]

(Sigh) shove this thread into the political forums. All I intended was to mention that our warships actually behaved like warships for once. Used to be, when a ship of war was fired upon the end result was always the same, the attacker was killed.

Consistant response to agression reduces agressive acts. Passive response leads to more acts.

[AyaqGuyaq]

Yeah, baby, America has the hardware (God rest the sailors of the U.S.S. Cole--sorry, non-believers, I'll pray for you, anyway, and I will. Our days on this beautiful Earth are numbered, all of us), and we have stalwart allies, represented by @@dadda2 and @@FRENCHI, and @@HellKid, and their representative countries.

 

Even ironically, we have Germany and Japan as allies, as weĺl.

 

Can't we all just get along?

The difference is when a White Supremacist does something like that, He usually does not scream "Allah Akbar (GOD is Great)".

In the West as you know, we blame the Person for making the selfish choice of Committing a Crime.

In Islam, way too many people there Use their Religion as an excuse to Commit a Crime.

We need to forget about the Religion part of it and focus on the Criminal Act and prosecute those who commit Crimes that's all.

If a group acts like a Gang, then they should be considered a Gang even if their association is Faith Based.

That goes for all Faiths.

Well it was a good read but thelastcoldbeer has it right. If its not political right now its right on the cusp.

Plenty of Christian terrorists outside of the US. In any case, if you have a bullet in your head because you are western infidel, or because you are a black man, you are still just as dead. White supremacists often point to their interpretation of the bible as a justification for their beliefs and actions.

Really? Where?

[PimpedOutPete]

My feelings is it's wrong to blame a entire religion when you have people interpreting it in their own way.

 

Prime example is the Westboro Baptist Church. I to agree that This is mild compared to these terrorists.

I live in a town (well directly next to the town in a village), where the Muslim population is around 30% of the town according to local statistics.

 

One of my best friends is a Muslim and he is arguably the most helpful and charitable person I know. He's helped me when I've been in a bind before, and all he asked in return was that I pay it forward.

 

I've gone with him to mosque during Ramadan last year just to see what it's about, what did I see? The mosque feeding the homeless, and stayed open until they ran out of food....and according to the people there, they do it daily during Ramadan month, and do it until 10pm non Ramadan months.

 

Its actually great to see and it's a shame it's not publicised as much as the negativity.

It's not about religion--------> it's about criminals and those pukes that lie and support them.
