Very interesting. Belongs in General Chatter's 'last word on Islam' thread. Some of it enhances and some of it undermines points I made there.

Young people WANT to go to war. Human instinct. Why do so many kids join the army, even in peace time?
Unofficial recruitment is just more edgy, IS, before that, Bosnia, Mujahadeen etc etc.
How many 14 year olds lied to get blown to bits 1914-18?
Most youth love thrills, be that smoking, drinking cider, taking drugs or fighting. Many will gladly go and and get themselves killed by drones, essentially for the lols.....
Youth....wasted on the young etc.

I haven't read anything in that thread yet...saving it up for a binge read. A mod can merge this into that threadandyinasia wrote:Very interesting. Belongs in General Chatter's 'last word on Islam' thread. Some of it enhances and some of it undermines points I made there.

It's just a fad. These Jihadi kids will grow out of it.

I thought you'd fit right in with Judaism. You're obsessed with money.*vladimir wrote:I could never convert to Judaism or Islam.
Any religion that forbids bacon sandwiches must be inherently evil.
*meant to be a dig at vlad, not Jews.

You'd be alright with Judaism. At Passover even the kids are religiously obliged to sink four glasses of wine, and at Purim the rule is everybody gets pissed!

I'm reading through the Bible again (for the umpteenth time, but you can't understand without studying closely) and the wholesale torture advocated in dealing with 'abominations against the Lord' is staggering.
Stonings and burning alive are prevalent in Deuteronomy, Leviticus and so on. Nuttiness and worship of evil forces is not confined to any one 'religion'. We can choose; we don't have to accept any 'authority' to accept evil-doing. That is where so many folk go wrong - the bland acceptance of a 'higher authority' that dictates as necessary deeds that are inherently abhorrent to most humans.

More like the Aryan Brotherhood, blood in blood out...andyinasia wrote:No waiting period. There is no necessary initiation ceremony; you just say to yourself the Shahadah ( a one-line, two clause creedal statement, easily googled), and go bulk marry. It should be noted that with Islam, like Hotel California, "You can check in any time you like, but you can never leave".spitthedog wrote:andyinasia wrote:Why wait?

Can i come back as a muslim in the next life please?
Andy,
I hadn't thought of that. Not sure how long i'd have to convert to qualify for the 3 wives though?
None but ourselves can free our mind.
