It's called the lesser of two evils.
Leo Volont said:So? I am a Catholic. I have no problem with any of that.
What I am doing is throwing back the Hypocracy of those Muslims back into their own Faces. They condemn the Church for its Trinity because there is the slightest shade of an infraction which can only be suspected. All while they commit the most blatant Idolatry which they wouldn't hesitate to rebuke everyone else for.
Leo Volont said:Yeap.
And taxes. In areas covered by the Muslim Conquest, the Muslims would give all Muslims a total Tax exemption. Only Christians, Jews and Zorastrians would have to pay for Everything. In some areas their were so many 'Conversion' that the Muslim Authorities complained and disallowed them because to the Public Officials the Money was more important then the Spread of Islam.
It would have been okay if Islam ever 'took' as a core Ethical Foundation for a Religion. But the Power of Islam as an Ethical Force has never been able to transcend the Klannishness and Tribalism which has not diminished one iota in the Islamic World all this time. As a Religion, it is a Big Dud.
surenderer said:Another lie by Leo......Muslims have an oblitory tax called Zakat that they all must pay.If you are a non-Muslim living in Muslim lands(there is no convert or die senerio sorry that another lie) then you must also pay taxes....do you really think its fair that Muslims pay Zakat but non-muslims pay nothing?
from:
http://answering-christianity.com/jizyah.htm
"Fight those who believe not in God nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by God and His Apostle, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book (i.e., Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. " (The Quran, 9:28-29)"

A head-tax imposed by Islam on the non-Muslims when they are under Muslim control
جزية : هي ما يؤخذ من أهل الذمة من خراج الأرض
Im a liar huh? how? the Jizya is the name of the tax that non-muslims in muslim lands pay.....non-muslims pay Jizya .....muslims pay Zakat....didnt you read the question I posed in my statement?My question was meant as a hypothetical.....peace to you anyway Randolpho
ok, yeah, maybe, I guess it depends on how you read your statement, on second reading, it does seem to be a question, not a statement. sorrysurenderer said:Jizyah

I'm not Jesus, what do you think he would do? & don't tell me bow to Mecca & the Kaa'baKnife said:hey randolfo.......WWJD?.........
Knife said:@ randolfo, are you a)asking a question with this thread?
actually, yes, when most Muslims start from the position that Jesus was a muslim, that takes the cake. Jesus was not a muslim, any more than Abraham was. when islam steals the history of its precursors, and makes it their own, & twists them into someone that their followers can not recognize? what do you think its adherents think? what do the archeologists say about Abraham? Jew or muslim?surenderer said:Randolfo,
The problem is that you always think I've got some "spin" or propoganda i am trying to impose which makes you overly aggrsive to anything a Muslim says
love, of course, but as anyone that knows me, I'm not perfect, are you? do you embody the 'salaam' spirit or is it just an intellectual act? & finding out about 'al-taqiyya' changed everthing, not knowing if the people you are discussing things with, are even telling the truth, how can you trust them? many Israelis say that people like Yasser, say one thing in Arabic(for Palestinian consumption) & another in English (for foreign consumption). many non-muslims are therfore caught in that old scene from 'Star Trek', where to trick Mudd's robots, Kirk & Spock pretend that everything he says is a lie, then says "I'm lying", how do you get out of that logic loop? the robots couldn't figure it out, me neither, I'll wait a few years to make up my mind on that, I need more proof of your truthIf being a Christian means to be "Christ-Like" would Jesus want you to love your enemies or annihilate them? You dont seem to be trying to understand the Muslims on these forums only to try to point them out as liars and evil...Is that really "Christ-Like"? : confused : ....
hey sleepwalker, if you're so smart, where are they going? does allah have a special place for them?skywalker said:
Hey Rando what do you think about Hindus? Do you think that they all would go to heaven with you? ;-)

poor guy, never went to Mecca, missed it by about a 1000 miles, but no mattter, Mohammad needed him there, so, lo & behold, & alajazaam, poof!!!, he magically appears there. Mohammad needs to claim Jerusalem of the jews, & faster than you can say, "open sesame", poof!!!, the night journey to the Rock, thereby claiming it for all muslims, for all time, very convienient, don't you think?
