Kenyan Christians Escape Muslim Lynch Mob

[Morr]

Old Testament is almost obsolete now, and is followed by Muslims. If it's bad, so is Islam.

Not all followers of the Old Testament - Jews and Muslims - follow it word for word.

Muslims think the OT is corrupted.

[Italios]

I'm not sure about Muslims, but Jews follow the Old Testament. By that logic, Judaism is bad.

But it's not bad.

"By that logic"

What Geilinor is trying to say is that if you use your reasoning that "The people who follow a bad religious text are bad" you're going to get some questionable results. Right?

[Visegradian Poland]

But it's not bad.

You just said that following the Old Testament is bad.

When? I said IF it's bad, so is Islam. Very simple wording.

[Bezkoshtovnya]

Not true at all. More than one way to interpret the Koran.

Muhammad interpreted it very violently.

And most Muslims do not.

[Ciliath]

Don't use a single example to back yourself up
Gallup international did a poll a few years ago in which 7% of Muslims were found to be extremists, or about 116 million. That is the best info we have.

"A man on the Internet once told me that if you cite a poll, people will believe whatever you say."

I know. I never said that.

But you are suggesting that not following the Qur'an makes these people not true Muslims. Why does someone have to follow their faith to the letter (through your translation of the Arabic) to be a "true" member of their religion?

[Italios]

Not all followers of the Old Testament - Jews and Muslims - follow it word for word.

I know. I never said that.

So therefore not all Muslims are going to refuse to befriend Christians and Jews. It's that simple.

[Morr]

I'm not sure about Muslims, but Jews follow the Old Testament. By that logic, Judaism is bad.

Christianity also uses the Old Testament, if anyone's forgotten that bit.

But most of it is fulfilled, so it takes on a very different meaning.

See Hebrews 8:13

Indeed, and the OT's not bad. i used very simple wording, and none of you understand. Do I need to talk in ebonics?

[Visegradian Poland]

I know. I never said that.

So therefore not all Muslims are going to refuse to befriend Christians and Jews. It's that simple.

That verse is in the qu'ran. Which Muslims follow, and is bad.

Sprinkle some needless racialism on top for best results.

What is wrong with polls? I linked you to both of them

[Senkaku]

Not true at all. More than one way to interpret the Koran.

Muhammad interpreted it very violently.

You do know the Qur'an was written after... never mind.

I think you just need to talk sense. Maybe lay off the wodka in your sig a little? Who knows.

[Geilinor]

That verse is in the qu'ran. Which Muslims follow, and is bad.

Most Muslims don't follow the Quran word-for-word.

[Visegradian Poland]

I know. I never said that.

But you are suggesting that not following the Qur'an makes these people not true Muslims. Why does someone have to follow their faith to the letter (through your translation of the Arabic) to be a "true" member of their religion?

Because if they don't follow the qu'ran, they're not Muslims. You need to follow it to be Muslim, or, according to the quran, you're a hypocrite. According to sane people, such as ourselves, it's being a good person.

[Chemaki]

I'm not sure about Muslims, but Jews follow the Old Testament. By that logic, Judaism is bad.

But it's not bad.

But it is bad, according to your logic there is a global persecution of Muslims by Jews, and thus Judaism is a bad religion... you can't have certain standards for one religion and not another, that's the very definition is discrimination.

The Christian Bible also instructs that homosexuals should be executed. Does that mean you are a bad Christian for tolerating homosexuals? Does that mean Christianity is a bad religion?

[Bezkoshtovnya]

So therefore not all Muslims are going to refuse to befriend Christians and Jews. It's that simple.

That verse is in the qu'ran. Which Muslims follow, and is bad.

And most Muslims do not follow word for word, just like many Jews and Christians with their respective texts, unless you know alot of Christians that took their disobedient children to be stoned by the town gates recently. What is your point exactly?

[Visegradian Poland]

That verse is in the qu'ran. Which Muslims follow, and is bad.

Most Muslims don't follow the Quran word-for-word.

They're not Muslims, they're good people.

[Ciliath]

Does this honestly matter? This is a singular incident that the news is reporting because there is nothing better. It's like the US news reporting every shooting that happens, even though crime rates are basically the same.

[Bezkoshtovnya]

Most Muslims don't follow the Quran word-for-word.

They're not Muslims, they're good people.

Then I guess most Christians are not real Christians.

Lemme guess, part of the obsolete OT? Thought so.

And most Muslims don't follow the Qu'ran word for word. Which means that the ones who don't probably will disregard the bit about needing to follow it exactly to be a true Muslim.

[Visegradian Poland]

They're not Muslims, they're good people.

Christianity teaches peace, unlike Islam.

Yes, but according to the qu'ran, and by extension, Allah, they're not Muslims.

Exactly why 1.6 billion of them are peaceful people.
