Re: Robert Spencer discusses the Fort Hood Jihadist

Again I'm not saying that this is "the" complete answer to the question. Then i have misunderstood you, my observation of the discussion concluded that you did. Although I would say that it is probably the most plausible. I agree with this, but from what i have read there appears to be mo...

Re: Robert Spencer discusses the Fort Hood Jihadist

Gman, We are talking about this incident and none other. What you are doing again and again is bringing a connection that could or could not be there. In your view (as i can only percieve by these posts), any aggresive act by a Muslim MUST BE a jihad.The findings in the other 2 incidents brought EMP...

Re: Robert Spencer discusses the Fort Hood Jihadist

you are also not seeing the big picture there. Thats an assumption not a reality.In what manner do you base your view? If you read my posts you would see clearly that i have highlighted more than one option to the incident, with a wider scope of causality. What outcry would there have been had the ...

Re: Robert Spencer discusses the Fort Hood Jihadist

I take it you are not familiar with the Koran and it's teachings. If you would like I could walk you through it. Thank you for the kind manner in which to instruct me in the ways of the Qur'an but there is no need. I read and understand what you have said, yet your conclusion to my view is no great...

Re: Robert Spencer discusses the Fort Hood Jihadist

What makes this video more enlighting than any other? it is nothing more than just another persons perspective.A radical one at that, since he views the event from a totality perspective of the war , "a war on terrorism" (what does that actually mean?who is it actually refering too - all t...

Re: Are the psychological stereotypes correct?

Gabrielman, what you have highlighted is the prejudice that can affect the view of the stereotype. The question that needs to be validated; is the over all view of stereotypes in the positive or negative. I see both as relevent, but lean more to the positive aspects. Stereotypes have several importa...

Re: Morals without god/the bible

Proinsias, Sorry for the excessively long response. We need to minimise our discussion and if possable limit our referance to support our view. Your perception of morality is very Hedonistic.The issue i have with this view is that you cannot and will not be able to see what your morality actually br...

Re: Morals without god/the bible

Proinsias, i know i have said allot but i need to address this statement separately. If you break the law then you face the consequences of the law, if you get caught. The crux of this statement - which is ver insighful on your part is " if you get caught " With God you will get caught! Th...

Re: Morals without god/the bible

proinsias "No man is an island" and although i do empathise with you in this view, we both know it is not a reality.The "Greater Good" is the premise for how society has developed and it is in this dynamic we find ourselves, and must address. Either that or we go hermit and live ...

Re: Morals without god/the bible

proinsias, If I write something in an objective manner does that then make it objective? The issue is not that you (by your view point) write something in an objecive manner, but that you have the authority to guide the moral code and not permit the option of subjective interpretation.Only an absolu...

Re: Just War Theory

Gman, It looks ok, but i do feel you need to ensure that people do not get confused with milhemet mitzvah (commanded wars) by God and how these could be construde as kedushah (holiness of war) you have not defined the differance. I referance this in regards to the wars ( milhemet mitzvah ) of Joshua...
