Comparing and contrasting, part 3
You have heard that it was said to your ancestors, "You shall not kill; and whoever kills will be liable to judgment." But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment, and whoever says to his brother "Raqa," will be answerable to the Sanhedrin, and whoever says "You fool," will be liable to fiery Gehenna.
- Jesus Christ (Matthew 5:21-22)
When you meet the unbelievers in the battlefield strike off their heads and, when you have laid them low, bind your captives firmly. Then grant them their freedom or take a ransom from them, until War shall lay down her burdens... As for those who are slain in the cause of Allah, he will not allow their works to perish.
- Koran 47:4
They may not be Muslims but British cops still have to keep the faith. CAIR is upset that a radio talk show host said something about Islam that's true. By the way, some of you have expressed interest in the Koran. My favorite version is the Penguin translation by N.J. Dawood, available in English only or English with side-by-side Arabic text. The U.K.'s shadow defense minister has some tough words.
Gerald Howarth, the shadow defence minister, last night told The Scotsman that extremist Muslims who see the Iraq war as a conflict against Islam should be considered as treacherous as Soviet sympathisers during the Cold War. His remarkable claim shatters the tri-party consensus which Michael Howard, the Tory leader, sought to make with Tony Blair, the Prime Minister, and the Liberal Democrats.
Here's the Telegraph's editorial about it.
Closer to home, George Soros got pwned. Again. Polipundit has more.
