Jury finds Afghan family guilty in honor killings

[PalestineMyHeart 1,897]

I would say that is an attempt to deflect. Certainly I can't dispute the claim certain groups of Christians have behaved badly, but I also don't deny there aren't calls for plenty of bloodshed and other morally reprehensible acts in the Bible.

Deflect from what ? I am pointing attention directly to the fact that you troll around these threads about individual criminal acts involving Muslims in order to make snarky remarks about Islam and Muslims in general.

Nobody else here is lame enough to post every article they can find about individual Christians or Jews committing heinous criminal acts in order to try to make some cause-and-effect connection that those faiths are somehow inherently promoting abhorrent behavior.

It seems to be all the rage with Islamophobes, though.

You made the claim, obviously false on it's face, that the Koran clearly forbids the killing of children. Not false in that it might feature just such a verse, but that the verse is all controlling and reverses any other to the contrary.

Obviously if we take your statement such killings are expressly forbidden then we are left to wonder why some missed that, according to your statement, clear and direct order from the Koran.

Obviously, you didn't pay nearly enough attention to reading the post to which you are responding.

Actually, I said that, but you must know better without even trying. So, show us the verse(s) that require Muslims kill their children coz I must have missed it.

Muslims are nicer people than Islamophobes.

I didn't post this thread, and while I can't say for sure I never have posted such a thread, my only sin is seeing through the thinly disguised wall of denial there can be anything wrong with Islam, it's teachings, or it's adherents. Nobody should believe the jerk in the OP is representative of all or even most Muslims. You appear to fear any suggestion his flavor of Islamic practice does precisely that.

The name calling is not really germain to the topic at hand. Just more deflection I suppose. My original question stands, some Muslims appear to have missed the "don't kill children" memo.

This is what you said:

It appears a fair number of Muslims missed that memo, perhaps Allah should repeat it.

Kind of rings a bit differently than your rewrite.

Your "only sin" is agreeing with yourself ? okay

If these people were adherents to Islam, they wouldn't have killed anyone. There's nothing special about that; any Christian would say the same thing about Christian mass murderers who miss the "don't kill memo", too.

Yes Christians have their fair share of denialists too. I know you and wife crack each other up with the snarky comments, but reality bites.

I said " a fair number" missed the memo, obviously you extrapolated my comment to mean all Muslims.

And talk about name-calling. You accused me of being a liar for posting something I didn't even post, and don't even bother to acknowledge your mistake.

No and I specifically made that clear when I asked you if you would also state that a "fair number" of Christians and Jews missed their respective divine memos.

As if you don't have your own group of fellow-minded pals, yukking it up at each other.

Stop the bickering, it adds nothing to the discussion. Please discuss the topic at hand, rather than lobbing snide comments at each other.

Reality bite for you since you bite off more than you can chew.

Why don't you mean all Muslims? Afterall, you claim that our religion requires we murder our family members.

I have been besmirched, but I don't really mind. P & R is no place for the thin skinned.

Personally I am fond of both Wife and Sof, and respect their fervent defense of their beliefs even if they occasionally feel the need to lean on personal attacks upon yours truly.

Care to reveal which besmircher ran to the mods for help?

Wife I now correct my mistake of attributing Sof's comment to you. My bad!

Nothing about so-called "honor killing" MURDER has anything to do with Islamic values.

Edited as to form and content.

Can we have a poutine war, instead?

'Merica just makes better taters, but that poutine gravy - man o man - is hard to duplicate properly...

Son, you must be tripping, P.E.I. taters are the best on this or any other planet. Idaho taters are Coeur de #######!!!!!!!

[IR5FORMUMSIE 850]

All I can say is it's blood barbaric is what it is.

Yup. Psycho sez GOD told him to slaughter his daughters, nothing wrong with that.
