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.

I have been studying the worlds faiths for about 7 years now. In my study I have read as much as I can of numerous religious texts. People need to be aware that Islam doesn't only use the Qur'an but also a second book called The Hadith. It is from the second book that many things that leaders in Islam follow are hidden from those who only know of the Qur'an.

Some links to aid you and others if interested.

The Hadith

One of the MOST important thing to remember about Mohammed is that he was a warlord. Jesus was a man of peace. Mohammed was about domination of those who opposed him.

Thanks very much for the links. I had come across links for the Hadith before, and was intimidated because it's so long. But I believe we need to make an effort to understand all of this, as best we can.

You have got to be KIDDING me! Police are trying to investigate the murder (or attempted murder) of innocent people and they have go through all this nonsense?! I’ve never heard of any special ‘consideration’ given to any other group of people when conducting a raid!

On the one hand, anyone who even implies a connection between Islam and terrorism is considered bigoted or racist. And yet the authorities and the media bend over backwards not to ‘offend’ Muslims in any way. Doesn’t this imply that they’re terrified of them? Doesn't this show that they DO believe there’s a connection between Islam and terrorism?

Someone please explain this to me.
