bin Laden's truce
-
and it is rejected[^] by US In the audio message, Bin Laden appeared to suggest that a US withdrawal from Muslim lands could prompt agreement over a truce. if its all about pulling out US troops from Muslim counteris,thats a fair demand,agreeing with it doesn`t make me his fellow coz noone likes outsiders on his homeland,even US wouldnt tolerate french army on his land his threat to US citizens,no this is unfair and it shoudn`t be supported,i wonder why such silly statment could be taken seriously,at one hand you are going in agreement,while on other ur threatening, its like a-a=0 and as I had doubt, BBC also supported it that such threat would Boost Bush support by americans[^] from website: Americans hardly need a tape of Osama Bin Laden to remind them they are threatened by extremists, as the War on Terror has overshadowed their lives since 9/11.

Of course it's going to be rejected. bin Laden doesn't speak for either country he mentioned. He's not an official country spokesman and therefore has no rights in negotiations. BW

If being uneducated means not being brought up to hate the US for no real reason, then yeah we're dumb. And we also have nice shiny boots to stick up your ass too. ;) Jeremy Falcon

It is amazing the conclusions people come to. I never said I hate the US. It is the current administration I don't like. Btw, I know lots of american, and they are not that uneducated. :) -------- "I say no to drugs, but they don't listen." - Marilyn Manson

And? I would be extremely shocked if he had the authority to speak on Saudi's behalf. The tape might boost Bush's poll standings briefly, though I doubt it, but so what? It's utterly meaningless. Few people in the US, except the media, pay attention to the polls unless there is an election at stake. BW

Problem is people are assuming that there are three books written by a 'god' 'His son' and 'The Prophet'(not sure about spelling here). It's three books written by people abusing the the fact that for a majority of people it's nessesary to have a higher goal presented to them, because being here without a reason is for them totally unacceptable. God (as in monoateism with just a single god) is a concept. He serves as a way to bring a goal into the lives of the followers, for a lot of people it's needed to have his goal spelled out a little more real than the concept of doing the 'right' thing just because it feels better. Unfortunately you can use the same concept to turn people towards a direction that is unwanted for the common good (until there are so many followers that it becomes the common good, morals and standards are subjective) I find the standards behind modern christianity more appealing (as opposed to I believe in God, I think I don't) but that's probably because of my upbringing. The concept of living a good life for whatever reason appeals to me but the religions mistreating it are a pain in the a**. (I think a lot of people who read this are going into attac mode... So be it... It's MY opinion and I am entitled to it... if you reply I may choose to ignore you :p )
My question to Christian was placed to get a more theological understanding.

I'm not saying polls won't change, but what they mean isn't really always clear. You'd have to look at the specific questions, how they are asked, who asked them, who was asked. If polls jump after an Osama tape, it does little or nothing to change what is happening. The polls jump after quarterly news on the economy too, but over the long haul these are just blips. Most people I know aren't even talking about the tape. They simply don't care what Osama is saying. As for people bashing your religion: The main I reason I see for this is that, in the "west", we see little from the global Muslim community denouncing terrorist activities. What we hear is how Islam is a peaceful religion, but do not see how that peace is being spread. There is a double standard when it comes to accountability for actions. The west is corrupt, misinformed and evil, while Muslim's actions are justified no matter what. For example, why only become outraged at the US bombing in Pakistan, why not stand up and be outraged at car-bombers in Iraq who also kill innocent women and children? Maybe people are outraged, but that message is not getting through. There is no concerted effort against it. BW

But that was my reply to a reply of my reply.

You're welcome.

Well, that's just dumb on so many levels. 1. Have you read the Quran ? If not, how can you comment ? 2. If they are the same, why would Mohammed have bothered writing the Quran, if he had two other religions to choose from that were, according to you, the same ?
I don't have to read the Quran. There are lots of documentation about that, whether it is in favor of the idea or not. If you read my original reply, I say:
And also, many believe that the christian's God and Allah are the same "entity", but with different names, but I am not sure.
Please, don't make it look like I made a statement.
Christian Graus wrote:
Sure. My argument is that any suggestion that the god presented in the Quran is the same as the God of Christianity or even Judaism involves a lot of faith and a lot of refusing to read any of the texts involved.
That is your argument about the subject. I don't have any, I was just mentioning what some people believed (or not).
Christian Graus wrote:
The most obvious example I can think of is that in the NT, Jesus claimed to be the Son of God. In the Quran, Jesus is just a man. That's a pretty big part of the nature of the Christian God that Islam rejects, making the two entities fundamentally different. I also found heaps of stuff on how the Quran contradicts the Bible via google, but mostly with regard to the details of stories.
You refer to books that often contradicts themselves. Do you believe those books? They were written by lunatics. You know, people have different points of view that often differ, and often people don't agree with other's opinions, and go to war to crush them just because they don't think the same. I find this very dumb, whatever side does (mine or theirs). It is just plain stupid. And to justify their point of views, they write books about illuminations and revelations they had. Give me a break, here! On a totally unrelated note, I have a good movie suggestion for

From memory, it's in the extras of the special edition, or it was in the book that was released around the time of the movie. The commentary by John Cleese is very tiresome, he just complains about people who assumed Brian was Jesus and boycotted the film. There are two commentaries, the other one is very funny indeed. John Cleese has had too much therapy, IMO. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++
