[FairfieldLife] Re: Swiss voters ban new mosque minarets
Islamic Prayer? Does it compare with other meditation? Any science on that by comparison? What says science? The neurophysiology of spiritual legitimacy might well come in very handy in defending the ban. Putting beliefs to test, so to speak. Islam just may fail the standards at this. Article 9 of the European convention will probably be the basis for legal challenges to the Swiss ban. The second part of that article 9 says: "Freedom to manifest one's religion or beliefs shall be subject only to such limitations as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society in the interests of public safety, for the protection of public order, health or morals, or the protection of the rights and freedoms of others." > > http://www.usatoday.com/news/religion/2009-11-29-swiss-minarets-ban_N.htm > or > http://tinyurl.com/yzrds7u > > >

Actually Shemp, when a Muslim kills a non- Muslim, he doesn't think he's saving your soul. He thinks he's put you in your destined place, hell, and becuase of that, he automaticlly gets out of jail free, passes *go*, collects two hundred dollars, bypasses judgement and goes to heaven for an eternal orgy. To die in jihad, for Islam, is the only guaranteed path of salvation. Christians, for the most part, just get frustrated and storm off in a huff and maybe will pray an intercessory pray on your behalf.

Indeed, the Koran dictates that the host Muslim country can impose a special tax on those that practise another faith. But, of course, I admire the Muslims fanatical approach to religion. Like Christianity, Islam believes that its path is the ONLY way to God and all others will burn in hell for all eternity if they don't choose Islam. But unlike Christians who, upon being rejected by you in their attempts to prostelitize you, may believe you'll burn in hell for all eternity but all they'll do is depart with a superior and snooty "God loves you" and turn the other cheeck and leave. Muslims on the other hand will tell you God hates you for rejecting Islam and the more fanatical ones will threaten to kill you if you don't convert -- and often follow through on it. Now, I ask you: if the prize is eternal life and bliss in the Kingdom of God, who truly has the courage of their convictions? Who is truly interested in my welfare: the weak-kneed Christian who will turn the other cheek and walk away? Or the Muslim with fire in his chest who will risk his own life and a lifetime in prison in order to get you to the Kingdom of Heaven? Seems to me that if you're going to buy into the bullshit of the "My way or the Highway" school of spirituality that he who is willing to risk everything -- your life and his -- to get you to heaven is the one with the courage of his convictions. Christianity is truly the Jimmy Carter version of the "I've got the only true way" religions whereas Islam is the Joe McCarthy version. > > > > _ _ __ > From: It's just a ride > To: FairfieldLife@ yahoogroups. com > Sent: Mon, November 30, 2009 5:56:15 AM > Subject: [FairfieldLife] Swiss voters ban new mosque minarets > > Â > http://www.usatoday.com/news/religion/2009-11-29-swiss-minarets-ban_N.htm > or > http://tinyurl. com/yzrds7u > > -- > > Jesus was all right but his disciples were thick and ordinary. -John Lennon >

Just because a few people might die from bombings, and they kill their own women and daughters is no reason to judge them. It is their way of life, and only divinity should judge that. Many of their Mullahs interpret such actions as very holy. Besides, all their supposedly wrong acts are not because they are wrong, it's because WE are wrong. Get with the times man.
