    LOL Funny funny. I am an American, one who travels and has lived overseas for many years. It's too funny really, just because someone knows about the broader world, you think they must not be an American.

    The Christian values are pretty good, but some of the Jewish ones are not.

    It's a Christian value to grab women who go to church with their heads uncovered and to cut off their hair. It's a Christian value to refuse to help widows younger than 60 because they can find another husband.

    I didn't say you were not an American (although I do now, after reading this), I said I am not an American.
    You didn't answer the question: Margot, is that you?

    We are not amused.

    We need it for the witch test. When a devilish Nazi says "ban the Quran" then we know he is ripe so we can burn him without any problem on a stake. To burn unripe Nazis on a stake would produce to much NOx (nitrous gases).

    Ah- You are discussing about religious books. Fine. What do you think about the Bardo Thodol - or do you like to ban this book too?

    The only problem is that no Christian knows what you are speaking about in context with this "values". "to refuse to help" is for example an anti-value. To go covered or to go uncovered is not a value at all. It's also not a value for example to turn a prayer mill - nevertheless exist correct ways how to do it and incorrect ways how to do it. I remember for example an artist from Asia who made here a Buddha. Looked nice in our eyes - but this Buddha was shown in an incorrect way - what did hurt some Buddhists. Such things Bavarians don't love. We are respectful in case of all serious religions.

    Ve know. :grin:

    Hitler sympathized with Islam (surprise-surprise!). I see you are not far behind. I recommend you read:

    Whyelse do you not like to say what's your nationality? Do you think you are a shame for your people - or are your people a shame for you?

    The same as you don't use your real name but a nickname. It's none of my freaking business what your real name is.

    Could we just cut the crap out and stay on topic, Anobsitar?

    "I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord ... I am and will always be a Catholic"

    No surprise that this sentiment is endorsed by right wingers.

    read further:


    "Had Charles Martel not been victorious at Poitiers — already, you see, the world had fallen into the hands of the Jews, so gutless a thing was Christianity! — then we should in all probability have been converted to Mohammedanism, that cult which glorifies heroism and which opens the seventh Heaven to the bold warrior alone.

    "You see, it's been our misfortune to have the wrong religion. Why didn't we have the religion of the Japanese, who regard sacrifice for the Fatherland as the highest good? The Mohammedan religion too would have been more compatible to us than Christianity. Why did it have to be Christianity with its meekness and flabbiness?"




    Thus, he was not actually praising Islam for its morality but for its martialism which, despite all, did not seek to exterminate Jews. But he praised Christianity for its "morality" which did seek to exterminate Jews and is why he remained a Christian [sic].

    Funny character, wasn't he? But still beloved by so many professing Christians of the far right.

    Kudos for doing your homework. :aww:

    But still, Islam is not compatible with Western values. Therefore if must **** off.

    Western values were preserved in Islamic Andalucia for a period of 800 years.

    Whoa, is that so?
    If you are referring to multiculturalism, then yes it was popular in Andalucia under Sharia law.
    Parasites always welcome suckers (the ones they can suck off dry that is).
    Actually Multiculturalism was invented by Islam. No wonder they try to impose it.

    If you were a Christian you would know multiculturalism was created in the New Testament where it is written, ''There is [now no distinction] neither Jew nor Greek ... for you are all one in Christ Jesus.'' ! AMPC ~ Bible

    In spirit (Christ), that is, in spirit.

    Multiculturalism is another story. The idea is that Muslims (aka aristocrats, the warrior caste) run the show and the untermensch, the "colonized", the Dhimmi (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhimmi) do the hard work and pay taxes, including the jizya tax. For the pagans the choice is clear - convert to Islam or die.

    Don't be so naive, Mr_Truth!

    You do not understand the New Testament as crowds were racially/ethnically integrated as were the churches in that era. Times had been terribly segregated up to then but no longer thereafter.

    It's not me who makes Jews and Christians "second class citizens", it's Sharia law. So please spare me the talk about how wonderful life was in Andalucia under Sharia law. Yes, it was wonderful but just for Muslims, not everyone else.

    Plus, I think you cannot distinguish between culture and ethnicity.
    Christianity ans Islam are cultures, Greek and Jew are ethnicities. There is no problem for people of different colours being Christian. That's what it means here:

    Multiculturalism implies different cultures live side by side. For example Christians an Muslims living in one town. However it is not working and could never work.

    It would be an expression of religious freedom, something the do-gooders hate, while obeying the letter of the law.

    Historical biblical scholars agree that Jews here were symbolic of all Isrealite tribes while Greek symbolized all Gentile nations.
