I recommend that everybody interested in combating Islamic fundamentalism read this. It is found at www.mosque.com.

This is the same articles of faith that put law above life by denying a choking man a drink of wine

This is the same articles of faith that condemn research and investigation

It even condemns what jisbond is doing in making contribitions to this forum. The articles forbid arguing with theologians and innovators. We may not be theologians on this forum, but we certainly are innovators.

The articles even forbid prosylatizing(sp?). Moslins are allowed to bring back into the faith people who have strayed from the faith, but no others. So the preaching of Islam to people of other faiths is forbidden by these articles.

I have no problem with jisbond's postings here. They have been educational and easily refutable. He both claims to have used pure logic and claims to have not offered his own opinion, only links to readings. Somehow that in itself is not logical.

But thank god that he is free to say anything he wishes on this forum. Consider for example the fate of the Christians under arrest and being threatened with being hung in Afganistan for preaching Christianity in that country. That is the result of fundamentalism. The only thing that will save these Christians is that if they are jailed or hung the remaining Christian organizations presently giving aid to the Muslins in Afganistan will leave the country, and as a result according to their own statements many people will die.
