Too often. Why? Will how often it happens matter when considering if something is an act of terrorism or not?
I don’t. It’s the people who kill (or attempt to kill) innocent people who describe it as so when they scream ‘‘Allahu Akbar’’.
I was half expecting you’d write an essay just to avoid saying ‘‘yes’’. I’m pleasantly surprised by the answer. Thank you for being straightforward.
Thank you for answering so directly once again. But you see, this is why I find letting Muslims into the West so angerous. Why even come here if one likes living in a theocracy so much?
Shit, every western country that let in a significant number or muslims is worse off for it.
The UK, France, Germany…
Sweden, who used to be one of the safest and most peaceful countries in the world, took in a bunch of muslims,and now have the second highest gun crime death rate in Europe.
No good deed goes unpunished.
The way I remember it, you had asked me something about Muslims coming together and making statements about terrorist knife attacks
Rates of occurrences would affect my perception on that
You did
Feel free to never do so again
Thank you
Theocracy is a different topic - you had not asked me about that
2 quotes from Wikipedia
In an ecclesiocracy, the religious leaders assume a leading role in the state, but do not claim that they are instruments of divine revelation.
According to Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary, there are two meanings for the word theocracy: (1) government of a state by immediate divine guidance or by officials who are regarded as divinely guided; and (2) a state governed by a theocracy.
You are either ignorant about Islam (you aren’t an Arab so your knowledge will always be limited) or lying again. Islam is indeed, by design from Mohammad, a political and religious ideology at the same time. A Muslim who truly knew the religion would freely admit this. Again, you are ignorant.
My accusation was quite truthful, but it had a potential flaw. I said why do you, when the more truthful question may have been why did you
He could come close enough to proving me wrong by discontinuing in the future
I don’t deny that
Your blindness and dimwittedness are more relevant than my alleged ignorance or disingenuousness

I watched Passion of the Christ earlier today. If you pay attention, the actor for Jesus (as) enunciates the Name of Allah at around 1:02:57, while describing Muhammad (saw), maybe even just while finishing up his brothers wudu
Actually if you really pay attention, they use the Name of Allah quite a bit in that movie. Allahhum pretty much translates to Elohim
I’m not sure what any of this means, but would it be wrong to presume that when someone screams ‘‘Allahu Akbar’’ while committing a murderous act, such is not being done in the name of Allah? A coincidence, perhaps? Such a random thing to shout then, if it has nothing to do with Allah.
Here’s something else I never said, but presumed: “Vive la France!” has to do with France. I don’t know what I was thinking!
So if someone fucks a couple ten year-olds but usually prefers (and usually has sex with )adults, that someone is not a pedophile? Is that what you’re saying, or do I misunderstand you?
If you see a video with audio matching your description, then that is a very valid interpretation of what happened in that instance
If you’ve seen two or three such videos and skim news headlines/articles for the rest, I wouldn’t assume your perception is more trustworthy than the Muslims in the associated areas
you were potentially asking me to criticize my brothers from afar based on your claim/insinuation, when I haven’t seen what you’ve seen
I quoted wikipedia, your understanding matches mine
theocracy , government by divine guidance or by officials who are regarded as divinely guided. In many theocracies, government leaders are members of the clergy, and the state’s legal system is based on religious law. Theocratic rule was typical of early civilizations. The Enlightenment marked the end of theocracy in most Western countries. Contemporary examples of theocracies include Saudi Arabia, Iran, and the Vatican. See alsochurch and state; sacred kingship.
