You know if SnB, BinLyin, and the rest of these FFI extremists had been born Muslims they would definitely be hard-core Salafis or Hizbi followers.
You drew this conclusion on what basis?
I think people are divided more along character types than nationality/race/beliefs/religion etc... People's imprint their own character on their religion/beliefs - and can turn whatever religion/belief in to something extreme and harsh - or benign and humane.
All the years I was a Muslim I was exactly the same character I am now. If you met me then and met me now you wouldn't say I was any different except that I said my prayers, didn't drink or eat bacon etc... I never subscribed to extremist views and there is no way on earth I would have become a terrorist.
YOu didnt become a terrorist doesnt mean others cant. What the hell are you talking? Who are carrying to out suicide bombing these days? Who are killing innocent people today? Is it muslims or non muslims? Its the muslims.!period!
Also I read your brothers post somewhere wherein he said that you became a muslim after you heard a call for prayer somewhere in the valleys when you were with your girlfriend which means you were never a muslim all your life. So what is it exactly? YOu say you have been a muslim all your life but the quote from your brother says its otherwise. So who's lying?
Then one day in the Spring of 1980, the Hass I knew dropped off my radar scanner. The last time I’d spoken to him he was about to go camping with his girlfriend Diane at a three day hippie festival in Lancashire. The next time I saw him, an impostor had taken his place. The impostor had found God and become a devout Muslim.
Hass’s religious awakening, he later told me, was precipitated by an incident that occurred at the hippie festival in Lancashire. He and his girlfriend, Diane, had been taking a stroll above the valley the event was set in. It was sunset and very beautiful. They could see all the campfires and hustle and bustle below. As they walked down the side of the valley he heard, as clear as a bell, the call to prayer, or the Azan, as it’s known. “Strange” he said, “where could that be coming from? Can you hear it? That’s the Muslim call to prayer!” “What is?” Replied Diane “That is!” He replied, but she could hear nothing. He couldn’t understand why she couldn’t hear it. They went looking for the source, but found zilch. He took it, literally, as his calling. The experience was to change the course of his life forever.
It simply wasn't in my character. I have no doubt ppl like Abu Yunus, IslamMythology, Debunker and all the decent Muslims I know in real life are much the same.
How many times do I need to expose you ? I never said majority of muslims can become criminals. I also gave you an example. COnsider 0.001 % becoming terrorist of 1.2 billion. its approx 10000. These many terrorists are sufficient to blow the whole world and thats why I have a problem with islam.
Sure, they stamp their own humanity on Islam - but that's what all people do to whatever religion/beliefs they have - their personality defines their beliefs and not the other way around.
Why do you think some muslims believe that stoning the right punishment for adulterers if its never the religion making the personality? why do some think that kafirs are the worst ?
I think extremist, authoritarian, and fanatically obsessive character types are thankfully always in the minority - but they are basically the same no matter whether they are Muslim or non-Muslim and these FFI guys have exactly the same - hardline, extremist, "my way or the highway" - feel to them as the hardline Salafi types I used to debate on ummah.com.
The irony!
Anyone who doesnt believe in your crap is a extremist I guess. Try refuting me and lets see how well you can do .
