The Israel / Hamas Conflict

Overreactions?

It’s the typical playbook. He’s trying to appear clever when really, it’s all about avoiding certain realities regarding his faith. They also don’t want to acknowledge certain cultural realities with regard to the people in the region. Arab supremacy is a thing.

Maybe, but not that I can remember

how can you not remember how your God Almighty gives you eternal life and salvation,

that should be something near and dear in your heart within your faith and belief system

I am beginning to think that you are afraid to answer the question

Yes, I’d consider what happened to the people who worked for the Charlie Hebdo magazine in 2015 or the death threats and assassination attempts suffered by Danish cartoonist Cartoonist Kurt Westergaard to be a bit of an overreation. Just my opinion.

I don’t even know who the fuck you are. If you are a terrorist, yes I want you eradicated.

If you are just some random guy trying to get by and live, I wish you the best.

What other modern-day religion is fostering and supporting Jihad / terrorism?

I don’t subscribe to any religions because they are all shitshows, but Islam is at the top of shitshows. Fighting over what sky daddy is the best.

No, I am good because I really don’t care what you have to say.

I don’t think it’s mentioned in the Quran, if you’d like to quote it then of course you can

What I mean is that you don’t believe the scriptures that I hold as the truth and I don’t believe that anything you hold as truth. My small mind cannot see how you can be convinced of anything I would show you from the Bible. You don’t believe any of it. Anytime you quote from the scriptures you believe, I don’t believe they are inspired by God. Where do we have common ground?

That said, I will respond to any of your questions. I will do so with what God says, but you need to know that IMO if you don’t quote from the Bible I don’t believe that God said it. It came from a man. Might my belief get me killed by a devote Muslim?

I have never read the Quran, the reason why I asked you…i made the assumption (my mistake) that you have read the Quran and would know how your God grants a believer in Islam: salvation and eternal life

and you have yet to provide that answer

Hamas lies about almost everything, but even their media propaganda works against them if you ask some basic questions.

From the article.

”The death toll among Palestinians passed 8,300, mostly women and children, the Gaza Health Ministry said Monday.”

That sounds terrible, but why mostly women and children? Why aren’t the men in harm’s way, but women and children are?

It is a mistake to assume that everyone thinks like you do and wants what you do, especially in war. Cultures are not created equal, which is why you don’t see the IDF advancing behind a shield composed of women and children, nor would they ever put babies on tank turrets.

Hamas has a very different value system that sees women and children as military assets, not the purpose of military assets.

Obviously, because you aren’t a Muslim. If you were, you would most likely either agree with it as being the only correct reaction or, you would waffle and say you don’t agree with the reaction but, you can understand it. Which really means you’re ok with it.

Thanks, reading this made me feel better at first.

But my heart has returned to stressful irregular rhythm again, and I think it’s because by you providing some clarity, it increases my responsibility

I’m just some random guy trying to get by and live

Well that’s cool, I had not addressed that question to you though fwiw - that question was addressed to SkyzykS

So were you being sarcastic about glass parking lot the entire middle East?

I don’t think he was.

I don’t either and I think SkyzykS should see that

But maybe I’m wrong

Sounds like personal problem. Maybe see a doctor?

Sarcastic about the entirety - yes. Certain regions to make a point - no.

I am glad you “think” something for once. :kissing:

Thank you for the suggestion

Can you explain why showing Muhammad specifically is so offensive? My understanding is that Islam considers that Muhammad is a prophet similar to many prophets from other religions like Noah, Moses, Abraham, and even Jesus. Does Islam also find it offensive to depict those prophets or is it only offensive to depict Muhammad? If only Muhammad, why only him? Just curious.

Logic, math, decent manners, English language, off the top of my head

Thank you

It might, technically speaking, but it shouldn’t

Much like mathematics, IMO, belief in God requires its own axioms before logic is an effective next step.

But as to the “axioms” of Islam, what are the oldest manuscripts that you believe are the word of God. Is there nothing within the Bible (of 66 books) that Islam considers the word of God?

You talk about “the prophet Jesus.” What supporting scripture do you have that teaches anything about Jesus? I just don’t know.

You should know that all of the scriptures of the Old Testament teach about Jesus;

Luke 24:25, "Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:

26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?

27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself."
