    Are you sure about this?

    Ladies and Gents, I believe we have just discovered an Islamic Scholar in our midst!

    So your problem is with Islam the faith, not Muslims, the people.

    Whew, what a relief.

    And the old testament also says to kill all homosexuals, does that mean we are just as brutal? Christians have killed far more people in the name of God than any other religion. While the new testament may speak of peace and love, the old testament is far more slanted towards "an eye for an eye" and "kill those who don't follow the rules".

    I've already done so. Your 99.99% unsourced number was considerably far off. I used a source from your country to show otherwise. So far, it has gone unchallenged.

    Have you seen this post?

    You are getting your posters confused. I hope your argument isn't weakening.

    Do you see Christians going around killing homosexuals?

    The Old Testament says a lot of things. They become clear when you put them in context, rather than seeking moral equivalence.

    And to think, you could have used the opportunity to show were islam has a "golden rule." I wonder why you didn't?

    Yep, definitely losing the argument. Wanna call me a noob again?

    Btw, parlour tricks like posting a small sample size article source scraped up from an internet search to correct an Indonesian Muslim on what Indonesian Muslims think really isn't very impressive unless you can prove the veracity of that article.

    Now in lieu of you actually going to Indonesia and providing a first hand report, and given the statistical ambiguity of that article, I think we might have to take the word of the Indonesian Muslim as the resident expert.

    Would you rather he just made things up instead? That seems to be the popular thing to do now-a-days.

    I'm well aware of the "demanding for evidence" strategy. Unfortunately for you, the report IS from Indonesia by Indonesians and the sample was of Indonesian muslims. Denial is really all you have. Kind of sucks to be in that limited position, doesn't it?

    You are welcome to think as you wish. By that standard, you accept the source I provided that clearly debunks the ficticious number of 99.99%. Or did you want to submit something to back that up?

    I look forward to it. I'll make ya famous ;)

    I'll help you out, since you obviously don't know, or are trying to obscure the fact that islam does not teach a "golden rule."

    I since a forthcoming denial by source. How about you?

    I don't think that muslims should take part in this thread. We should let the biggots here with their thread. We don't have to prove anything to these donkeys.

    No, I would rather he not make things up.

    But that still doesn't make the article he posted an expert on the subject, or that poll the definitive statistical analysis of million of muslims based upon the sample size alone.

    I agree. The infidels here are not your average gullible infidels. We know what you know and then some ;)

    Here's another one, this time from Reuters (Jakarta):

    Too many sources to mention just one.

    Nope. No denial. I read a little bit of it, and half way through, it turned into enlightened hate literature from a self proclaimed "Golden Ruler".

    Would this qualify as a Golden Rule?

    "Not one of you is a believer until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself."

    Let me know. It's not the best translation.

    If I were muslim, it would be a start. As I'm not, sura 5:51 pretty much abrogates it.
