    There is enough historical evidence of his life. That's all. Nothing religious going on here.

    I can't answer for another person, not even a guy as swell as Bogart [pbuh].

    Personally, I am not a religious bigot.

    People are so silly with that "Islamophobe" term. It has no rational meaning.

    Countries don't have rights; people have rights.

    This is one of the great misunderstandings of our time.

    I am for the death penalty, although I understand the arguments against it.

    Soldiers, like the rest of us, have moral and legal rules to follow. If they violate them, they are prosecuted -- even executed -- just like the rest of us.


    The religion in question has been murdering it's adversaries since the 7th century. That is not a good thing and covering it up is unquestionably immoral.

    I have not personally attacked another member for being a Muslim. If they can't discuss the topic objectively, that is their problem.

    Consider how silly it would be of me to take a criticism of Atheism as a personal attack on myself. It's not as if I invented Atheism. Equally, it's not as if any of these people invented Islam.

    You sure make it come across on this forum that you are.


    No people are not silly with the term. People are silly with their lack of respect and intolerance of other people's religions and is what I call a religious bigot (illegal in some countries).
    What a twist.....I'm truly amazed.

    In other words, you have no respect for life but there again thats a different discussion altogether.
    Sounds good in theory doesn't it? If only it actually worked that way.

    What do you care? If you really are so concerned why aren't you fighting on the front lines? Start up a charity donating good things to the Muslim children or those that need it? (maybe you do).

    So you are so upset with this religion you feel its a must to be on DP and bash the Muslim religion as a whole?

    Nope but you have attacked a religion for their beliefs. Again, thats a form of religious bigotry and people do take it personal.
    Yes very silly and its also very silly to lack respect, tolerance and to attack peoples religious beliefs.

    Are the Islamic terrorists sociopathic because they were born that way or did learn Jihadi behaviour and violence?

    Is ‘religious bigot’ a code word that 'America Haters' use?

    I was wondering how long it would take for someone to pull the 'not with us then against us' card.

    Well done Bogart for speaking such gibberish (yet again) and refusing to answer the question are you a religious bigot?

    Considering that you have refused to answer the question I'll put you down as a religious bigot. Keep up the great work, your soldiers in the middle east would be proud of your determination for spreading hatred.

    It appears that you need to work on your reading comprehension skills.

    Yes, freedom of speech is illegal in Iran.

    Thankfully, it's legal in the United States.

    In fact, it's protected in our Constitution.

    But more than that, it is a moral obligation.

    As Elie Wiesel said, "There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest."

    I believe they learned it. It's taught in their holy books.

    I do not subscribe to the "mass insanity" defense which has become popular among Islam's Western apologists.

    The US Constitution guarantees freedom of religion.

    A muslim that converts to another religion in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Yemen, Iran, Sudan, Afghanistan and Mauritania will be punished with death by beheading.

    Uh... huh... you accuse me of being a religious bigot and then you accuse me of making a personal attack when I say that your reading of my posts is not good. If your reading comprehension was better, it would be obvious to you that I am not a religious bigot and we would not have had to waste our time wandering down that bunny trail.

    I don't know where you're from or what your first language is. Hell, I thought you were a potato head like me. It doesn't really matter. If you can't read properly, your responses are never going to be sensible.

    There are a lot of people on this forum for whom English is a second language and the vast majority of them do a far better job of reading than you do. I don't think your problem is language. Your reading comprehension abilities appear to be limited by the blinding hatred which clouds your mind.

    Maybe it does but why would Polygamy be illegal? Still doesn't answer the question though but I have a rough idea now saying that you are avoiding a direct answer.


    Your own posts show lack of intolerance towards Muslim beliefs which is what? I don't have to accuse you of anything, your posting style says it all.

    Thanks for the insult, duly noted. Sorry that I fail to read and understand your high level of intelligent posting but really religious bigotry usually comes out as gibberish on my screen. A reason why I'm back to carry on this mature debate with one potato head to another ;)

    As for the blinding hatred that clouds my mind, please do enlighten me? And for flip sake don't accuse me as being someone who hates America & Americans that crap argument gets very tiring.

    Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel. You'll find most of the forum scoundrels using it as a plank in their argument to discredit the person that are arguing with.

    In the absence of facts, discredit and slander.

    Will, there you have it. You are just lacking in your intolerance towards muslim beliefs. I think we have the answer to what a religious bigot is, you lack intolerance unlike cormac who has mastered intolerance.

    cheese and crackers anyone?

    So I've noticed, Bogart has already tried it above to avoid giving a direct answer .

    Forgive me if I am missing something here, but wouldn't a lack of intolerance be the opposite of intolerance?

    I don't tolerate terrorism. What religion rewards suicide bombers and jihadists a place in heaven?
