If Cyprus was a Muslim country?

How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

So the old testement is to be ignored?

For me Koran, old testement, new testement etc are nothing but books written by human beings and non of them has anything to do with god.

However from what I see, it seems that the kind of preaching done in the Koran is of the same level, or even lower than that of the old testement. The new testement seems to be a better kind of book.

I guess that if somebody is such an idiot to blindly follow one of these books, then the one following new testement to the letter would be better than one following the Koran (or old testement) to the letter.

Of course you are not going to enter into any debate on the specifics because you can't answer for the reems upon reems of verses in the Quran that justify everything from wife-beating to genocide, racism to world conquest, and stoning to ritual murder.

Ishaq:243 “I heard the Apostle say: ‘Whoever wants to see Satan should look at Nabtal!’ He was a black man with long flowing hair, inflamed eyes, and dark ruddy cheeks…. Allah sent down concerning him: ‘To those who annoy the Prophet there is a painful doom.” [9:61] “Gabriel came to Muhammad and said, ‘If a black man comes to you his heart is more gross than a donkey’s.’”

I thought that Islam transcended many boundaries, including ethnicitiy, if this is the case, why is the Quran so racist in this case? Why does it encourage such disgusting things? Surely you have the answer to this, or are you just going to adopt hypothetical comparitives because you cannot face the truth. The truth, though, is most likely hard, as we know only too well about the fate of Churches in occupied Cyprus - The people who did those terrible things to the Churches and their priests were not bad Muslims, they were not doing these things to innocent people that were strictly forbidden by the Quran, no, these things are encouraged!

Tabari IX:113 “Allah permits you to shut them in separate rooms and to beat them, but not severely. If they abstain, they have the right to food and clothing. Treat women well for they are like domestic animals and they possess nothing themselves. Allah has made the enjoyment of their bodies lawful in his Qur’an.”

Wife beating it seems, is also one of Allah's hobbies. Can I ask you a question Erolz, why is it that when Mohammed stated that Muslims could only take a maximum of 3 wives, but when he wanted to wed another women, he miraculously had a message from Allah that told him:

Qur’an 66:1 “O Prophet! Why forbid yourself that which Allah has made lawful to you? You seek to please your consorts. And Allah is Forgiving, Most Kind. Allah has already sanctioned for you the dissolution of your vows.”

Allah seemed to come just in the nick of time for that one eh? Also, Islam encourages rape, we know this from various parts of the Hadiths, and the Quran itself - Why did such a great man, a 'prophet' rape women - Surely you, a seasoned Islamic and Ottoman Apologist, could answer this for me, The Quran also gives full authority for Muslims to have whoever they desire, for example:

Tabari VIII:116/Ishaq:511 “So Muhammad began seizing their herds and their property bit by bit. He conquered home by home. The Messenger took some of its people captive, including Safiyah, and her two cousins. The Prophet chose Safiyah for himself.”

Qur’an 33:51 “You may have whomever you desire; there is no blame.”

From this verse we can also draw the conclusion that Mohammed was a thief. But we know this from the entire History of Mohammed's 'unificiation' of the Arabian Peninsula, wherever he went he demanded that 20% of the booty was always made his. This much is solid Historical fact, you cannot shield your eyes from the truth forever:

Ishaq:510 “When the Apostle looked down on Khaybar he told his Companions, ‘O Allah, Lord of the heavens and what they overshadow, and Lord of the Devils and what into error they throw, and Lord of the winds and what they winnow, we ask Thee for the booty of this town and its people. Forward in the name of Allah.’”

The Quran itself states that Mohammed used mass thievery to garner support for himself. Obviously it was attractive to certain unsavoury characters that Mohammed was winning his battles and bringing out of them great wealth and many women for which the Arabs and Mohammed and his leadership could rape. The Quran admits that the booty of conquest was used as a precursor to garner support here, why would such a prophet use such unscrupulous means?

Ishaq:327 “Allah made booty lawful and good. He used it to incite the Muslims to unity of purpose. So enjoy what you have captured.”

And what happens to those who resist such an enslaught, 'tolerant Islam'? Or anything like that? Bullshit, The Quran clearly states:

Qur’an 5:33 “The punishment for those who wage war against Allah and His Prophet and make mischief in the land, is to murder them, crucify them, or cut off a hand and foot on opposite sides...their doom is dreadful. They will not escape the fire, suffering constantly.”

Those who dare to criticize Islam are not in for an easy ride it seems. I will not allow the World to fall victim to this devil cult. And what of the unbelievers, (kaffir), in the Quran, are they treated any differently? Nope, they are given Dhimmi status in the Caliphate and made to pay a Jizyah for the maintenance of Muslims, Mohammed clearly states in the Quran that:

Qur’an 8:12 “Your Lord inspired the angels with the message: ‘I will terrorize the unbelievers. Therefore smite them on their necks and every joint and incapacitate them. Strike off their heads and cut off each of their fingers and toes.”

Islamic Tolerance? Don't make me laugh!

And what of the prophet himself in regards to torture?

Tabari VII:133/Ishaq:387 “When Muhammad saw Hamzah he said, ‘If Allah gives me victory over the Quraysh at any time, I shall mutilate thirty of their men!'"

And the Quran also clearly states how Islam should be spread:

Ishaq:327 “Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.’”


So the old testement is to be ignored? Convenient, to someone who wishish to make no balanced analysis. What do you make of Noam Chomsky's quote


The point of Christianity is the teachings of Christ, hence the name, the New Testament contains these verses, it also contains frequent contradictions of the Old Testament, purposeful contradictions in fact:

"You have been told an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth....."

A clear reference to old Judaic Law, which Jesus purposefully contradicted.

"The Bible is one of the most genocidal books in history." ?


And? I don't agree with Noam Chomsky on everything, I fail to see your point.

Let me be perfectly clear here. I am not an advocate of any religion. I am an advocate of reasonablness, fairness, critical and logical analysis. I am an oponent of fanatisim, extremisim, liers and people driven by hatred. In short I am an oponent of you.


What do you consider 'fair', for me to say that Islam is a religion of peace? For me to lie completely? I will not do this, I will not lie for the benefit of Muslims. Islam is irrational, it is wicked, and it is vicious - It must be dealt with. It must be dealt with via logic and pure presentation of the facts of what is in the Quran.

You lie shamelessly. You show no ability to be balanced.


Show me the 'balanced' side of Islam, go on, show me how tolerant Shariah Law is and how A Caliphate treats everyone so nicely. I will not be 'nice' I will post what is in the Quran, The Quran speaks for itself, I don't need to fill it up with a lengthy diatribe, the Quran and Islam totally speak for themselves.[/b]

I will not enter into such discussions because you show over and over again your total inability to apply balanced rational critical analysis to the subject. You also show a total inability to address the issue here, which is not your views on Islam but your own personal inability to be balanced.

Hence we see you ignoring anything that does not support your theories (chomskys quote, Hitchens attacks on Mother teressa) and we see you turn my assertion that you are incable of balanced analysis into 'show me the balanced side of Islam'.

I am not talking about Islam, it's mertis or lack of them or any other religion. WHat I am talking about is YOU, your behaviours, your posts and your patent inability to be balanced and clear objective to promote hatred.

If you wish to talk about these things with I am happy to do so. If you wish to continue your hate driven and hate blinded rantings on religion then I have no interest in such discussion with someone like yourself.

ChomskyFan, what exactly are you trying to achieve?

Have you seen any muslim member in here to be a strict follower of the Koran? Have you seen any of them to claim that whatever it is said in Koran is true and should be followed?

Are you saying that whatever is written in the Bible is true?
Do you claim that there is a "God"?

I second Piratis questions /assertions and I add that religion is not an issue constituting the Cyprus problem. Furthermore, both Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots are fairly westernised in their outlooks and believes and definitely not among what one would call religion fanatics in cultural orientation.

To this end, any discussion about religions in relation to the Cyprus problem is meaningless and inappropriate under this forum.

Well I have asked you, what can I do to make it more balanced? How can I present verses that call for the mass murder of infidels in a 'balanced' way? Explain this to me? There is nothing 'balanced' about Islam, ergo I cannot present it in a 'balanced' way. If I was writing a topic about Global Warming, I would not give a paragraph, or even a line to the so called 'doubters' of global warming who claim it does not exist (funded usually by Shell and Exxon), by the same standards, I am not going to go 50 - 50 when the verses are clearly 99 - 1 in favour of violence as opposed to peace, and even when the Quran DOES talk about peace, it is always AFTER subduing the giaour into paying the Jizyah, or peace between the Muslims themselves and not others.

I am not talking about Islam, it's mertis or lack of them or any other religion. WHat I am talking about is YOU, your behaviours, your posts and your patent inability to be balanced and clear objective to promote hatred.


Hatred of what? Hatred of an ideology? Islam and National Socialism are quite similar if you look at their long term aims. Nazism is not exempt from criticism and the fact you have to resort towards such ridiculous attacks as the ones above proves you have no retort. I fully admit it, I am promoting massive criticism, which some idiots would interpret as hate, of Islam, in much the same way one would promote hatred of Nazism.

If you wish to talk about these things with I am happy to do so. If you wish to continue your hate driven and hate blinded rantings on religion then I have no interest in such discussion with someone like yourself.


Of course, you can't mount an effective defence for Islam, so you expect me to, explain to me how I am supposed to be 'balanced'? My job is not to over-exagerrate and downright distort certain passages of the Quran (massively outnumbered by the violent passages) that could be interpreted as peaceful. I have simply posted the verses. If you cannot mount an effective rebuttal to make the debate 'balanced', don't expect me to do it for you.

Piratis, I would not be as blind to say that I don't completely believe that what Jesus's teachings say are necessarily true in regards to the afterlife, in a deistic sense I believe there is some form of afterlife, what that is, I don't want to be arrogant enough to claim I know. What I believe is that when comparing Jesus and Mohammed, there is a clear indivisible difference between their messages. It is as night to day.
