I didn’t. I told him he wasn’t a real Muslim. Unless I am to disregard the whole of historical Muslim thought until pretty recently.
How’s this? I am now declaring myself a Muslim as well. I believe that Spiderman is Allah and Richard Simmons is Mohammad. Caspar Wyoming is my Mecca, but I pray naked standing straight up facing the north pole. If somebody can’t see that in the Qur’an that’s their problem.
Don’t start with me about how that is not Islam. This is 2009 and anything can be anything I say.
Good ol’ Trib, I’m so surprised you were one of the people calling names! It’s cool. I’ve had a few people on here tell me I’m “not christian” because I don’t buy their version of Christianity too.
And as I recall you’ve been busy saying the POTUS is an enemy of america or somesuch too, right? Posters like you are one of the reasons I love this board. I honestly don’t know where else I could learn about this sort of “thinking.”
Mind if I ask how you know so much about the Muslim faith? Where did you study? Was it at jihadwatch . com like some of our other favorite posters? No wait, let me guess, you often broke bread with a Muslim scholar, right?
I didn’t call anyone any names. I don’t know this guy, but I do know if he is opposed to Jihad he is opposed to historic Islam. It’s been along time, but I guarantee you I’ve done more study on Islam in one day than you have in your whole life.
There was no WWW in the 80’s, not as we know it now so no jihadwatch.com. Oh yeah, I stand firmly by everything I’ve said about Obama and see my views vindicated daily.
Just to make sure I’m straight on this, you claim to an expert in the Muslim faith because of some study you did in the 1980s? So much an expert, in fact, that you can tell a practicing Muslim if he is or is not “a real Muslim.” Is this right?
How’s your knowledge of the Christian faith? Any better? Could you let me know if I’m a “real Christian” or not? I’m curious.
It doesn’t take an expert to know either one of those things. All it takes is a willingness to allow the historical teachings of those religions to speak for themselves.
Interesting “thinking”! Let’s make sure I’m understanding you. You are arguing that one need not be an expert in a faith to know the “historical teachings of religions.” Is this right? Further, those non-expert understandings of “historical teachings” are sufficient to determine whether someone is or is not a “real” member of a faith. Thus, because of all of this, you believe your earlier statements were not childish name calling, but adult debate. Is this right?
Now I assume you know a lot more about me than you do about this new PWI poster, as such, could you answer my question? In your non-expert-yet-sufficient opinion, am I a “real” christian? I’m still curious.

Follow the logic trail.
