Title: Terror attack in Australia
Post by: GrinningYMIR on December 22, 2017, 09:31:39 AM
Yesterday a guy plowed through a bunch of Australian who were Christmas shopping. An afghani refugee who cried he did it becuase of the treatment of Muslims throughout the world. Also a history of mental illnesses. The Aussie police is saying it’s not terrorism becuase they don’t have a link to a terrorist group. Say what you want, but a guy ramming a bunch of people peacefully shopping. Is terrorism to me.

It is just part of daily life for the unbeliever.
Get used to it. There will be more to come - anytime, anywhere.

Mayor of London chimes in  (https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/sadiq-khan-london-mayor-terrorism-attacks-part-and-parcel-major-cities-new-york-bombing-a7322846.html)

Of course, we do have an answer to all this. Flowers, candles, teddy bears, and the usual slogan:

#NOTALLMUSLIMS.

Then forget about it until the next time. Unless a relative is maimed or dead.

Allah has a word for these so called moderate muslims he calls them Munafiqs (hypocrites).

As for drugs perhaps you should read this about Ayatollah Khamanei maybe he knows something about Islam.

I'm not asking if Muslims are addicted to drugs (spoiler alert; they are), I'm asking if you can be a "True Muslim" if you are a drug addict, since the Qu'ran is very explicit about drugs/alcohol being the work of the devil and multiple Hadiths stating that anyone who consumes these things will be barred entry into Jannah.

I'm well aware of the opium problem in the Middle East. The point I am making is that if we are going to say Islam is the root cause of this violence, because they are so devoutly Muslim, then we need to examine just how "devoutly Muslim" they actually are. And a devout Muslim would never be addicted to drugs. They are no more "devout Muslims" than Westborough are "devout" followers of Christ's teachings, or the Buddhists who murder and commit genocide against the Rohinga are devout Buddhists.

Likewise this is yet again ignoring the reasons the actual person gave, and saying that "you" (pr) know what REALLY is going on in their head, and not the person themselves. The inherent folly there, besides the fact that you have zero knowledge of what's really in their head, is that the dude is a drug addict; trying to rationalize his thoughts is moronic as it is.

I don't know Australia socio-economics, but I would assume they follow the same trend as as America's; poorer groups tend to have higher rates of drug use, particularly hard drug use, than richer groups. Immigrant and ethnic minorities tend to have a higher rate of being impoverished, so the odds of an immigrant being a drug user is higher than a native Australian.

Culture is relevant, but not in a statement about the culture's values but rather the fact that minority cultures tend to be lower-class citizens than majority cultures.

Yep life is unfair.  Upper class dudes use more expensive drugs, and use banks to rob people, instead of rob banks.

Yes, the cause for the 14 centuries old jihad (religious war) is drugs, socio-economics, disenfranchisement, oppression, but never ever Islam.

Because Islam can never be the cause. Never. Everybody knows that.

The perpetrators are not real Muslims. The Quran forbids the killing of innocents.
Islam is peace.

The Crusades, the Inquisition the witch burnings are of course can be attributed to Christianity, and not to drugs, socio-economics, disenfranchisement, or oppression.

Never forget the Crusades!

You yourself say all the time Islam is politics, so which is it; is it political (secular), or is it religious (spiritual)?

No one here is saying Islam doesn't have a role, but what people are saying is that just because something is done in the name of Islam does not mean that it is therefor 100% Islam's fault and we have to ignore any and every other possible influence, particularly when the perpetrator themselves give the reason they did the act and it isn't Islam.

It is, again, like saying the West Borough Baptists who are horrible human beings in the name of Christianity are only horrible human beings because Christianity is horrible, or more like-for-like that Buddhists who are, arguably, killing Muslims in the name of Buddhism therefor are making a statement about Buddhism. The reality is infinitely more nuanced than that, and by ignoring that nuance you are making sure no actual progress can be made. Or in even worse situations, you actively are involved in promoting regressive ideological thought that makes the situation even worse.

QuoteBecause Islam can never be the cause. Never. Everybody knows that.

Islam can be a cause, if not even the primary cause. 

Even I said that, so who are you arguing against? Nothing you said is actually arguing against what anyone here believes, only arguing against what you think people believe. And that is why no one takes you seriously anymore.

I can only guess, but my guess is because you don't actually have any substance behind your fear. You can only repeat the same thing over and over, even when people agree with you, because you don't actually have any depth behind what you are saying.

What are your solutions? What is your answer to the problem? Do you have any, or are you sitting in the corner screeching hysterically? We get it, the Muslims are scary... now back it up, and propose solutions.

I'm not asking for their solutions, I'm asking what are yours?

But to answer your question... Trump has made suggestions; ban them. Obama made suggestions; listen to what the moderates are saying, and work with them. In between, you have people offering varying levels of suggestions... and further extremes saying that we have to be their mortal enemy or unconditional friend.

Likewise some politicians have invested in furthering Western image in the Middle East and making the narrative of us being the bad guy less sellable; other's have double-downed and said we have to show force to get the respect we need and to eradicate our enemy.

There is no solution because there is no problem, to begin with.

This has been planned many decades ago with the full knowledge of the consequences.
Everything is going according to the plan. Yes, a few people are getting raped, maimed, killed.
Collateral damage.

All in a good cause, for the ultimate utopia that will happen. Soon. Insallah.

Globalisation. You will love it.

I honestly don't get where you are going with this, because there are about 10 different directions off the top of my head you could be taking this.

The insallah is making me think you are saying that Muslim leadership is behind the push for globalization, but I don't want to assume that and then be completely wrong. But if it isn't, I don't see the relevance between this and the idea that there is no solution to the cultural conflict between West and Mid. East.
Title: Re: Terror attack in Australia
Post by: pr126 on December 23, 2017, 01:38:12 AM
The globalist and Muslims are using each other to achieve the goal that they both crave, world domination.

In the end, there can be only one.  It will be interesting to find out who will be the winner.
It is a zero-sum game.

If I was betting, I would put my money on Islam.

Why? Because Muslims believe that Allah has ordained them to rule. (Quran 2:193, 8:39)
They are focused, determined, their faith is a cohesive force, and they don’t mind dying for it.
Anyway, the final reckoning will be very messy. 

What do you believe? Nothing. That is why you will lose.

Are you counting on the moderates? Don't.
When the chips fall, they will join their brothers en masse.
Or they will be killed as apostates.

If drugs are haram you would think the Ayatollah Khomenei would avoid them because he would know what is written in the Quran, can you cite the verse from the Quran that says drugs are haram?
https://www.kabulpress.org/article3733.html

Is this an example of the Quran being explicit on alcohol because it looks like the Quran approves of alcohol in this verse I have herad many ex muslims say the Quran does allow alcohol with this verse - https://quran.com/16/67

Of course if there is a verse that outlaws alcohol in the Quran would that be a contradiction of 16/67, what does this verse say about contradictions in the Quran? https://quran.com/4/82

The Islamic state have been calling for vehicle attacks this latest offender was a muslim refugee from Afghanistan who mentioned Allah, treatment of muslims and whinged about our ASIO security when questioned by police.

The Aussie Imam Tawhidi called this a terrorist attack- https://www.facebook.com/TheImamofPeace/

Before apologists get excited and claim this Imam represents all muslims he has called for Sahih Al Bukhari which is the most reliable Sunni hadith to be banned in Australia, he says Palestine is Jewish land and he had to start a go fund me page for security because of death threats from muslims.

I have written to Imam Tawhidi he wants to reform Islam he has it on written record the entire concept of Jihad needs to be abolished, he has also pointed out all those who want to reform Islam have achieved zero in their efforts to reform it.

I DO think that Islam motivates adherents to think in violent ways of revenge more than most religions.  It is the newest among the modern major religions and it takes some time and secular success for them to calm down.  Medieval Christianity was pretty brutal too.  And I don't ignore modern rampages between Hindus and Moslems.

Religious beliefs do tend to create great passions, some absurdly violent.

But Moslem violence is also caused by secular poverty as well.  Quite frankly, if one lives in crushing poverty and little freedom, tensions explode.

Quite frankly, if you live in a desert, you generally aren't going to be looking for happiness on Earth...

Firstly governments speak fluent bullshit secondly they say they don't know if this is a terror attack. Governments are also a bit stupid and they have installed bollards to stop vehicles with these type of attacks.

The Islamic state have been calling for muslims to drive vehicles into people and we have seen several of these type of attacks from muslims.

Quoteassistant Commissioner Stephen Leane said investigators had asked advice from the Victorian Director of Public Prosecutions on the charges.

'I've got a firm belief that what he [allegedly] did on Thursday night was a deliberate act,' he told reporters on earlier Saturday.
'The motivations for that act, we'll work through.'

He made 'utterances' to police about voices, dreams and the 'poor treatment of Muslims' to officers in hospital on Thursday night, and later made comments about Australia's top security body and Allah.

Acting Chief Commissioner Shane Patton said Saeed Noori made comments while at St Vincent's under police guard, only hours after the horrific rampage on Thursday afternoon.

'I don't know the exact detail, to do with Allah and some ramblings about ASIO (the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation),' Mr Patton said

Not all sanataria inmates belong there, and some who belong there hold pubic office.  Not a typo...

It is just part of daily life for the unbeliever.
Get used to it. There will be more to come - anytime, anywhere.

Mayor of London chimes in  (https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/sadiq-khan-london-mayor-terrorism-attacks-part-and-parcel-major-cities-new-york-bombing-a7322846.html)

Of course, we do have an answer to all this. Flowers, candles, teddy bears, and the usual slogan:

#NOTALLMUSLIMS.

Then forget about it until the next time. Unless a relative is maimed or dead.




Yeah, like Vegas.

QuoteIf drugs are haram you would think the Ayatollah Khomenei would avoid them because he would know what is written in the Quran, can you cite the verse from the Quran that says drugs are haram?

“They question thee about strong drink and games of chance. Say: In both is great sin, and (some) utility for men; but the sin of them is greater than their usefulness. "

"O you who believe, intoxicants, gambling, altars and arrows of chance are afflictions which are the work of the devil; you shall stay away from him, that you may succeed"

Allah is saying that alcohol is a great sin; if you are a devout follower of Allah, are you going to do something that he himself proclaims to be a great sin?

And yes, the Qu'ran contradicts itself. Welcome to what I have been saying for several years now.

There are no contradictions in the Quran. No Muslim will agree that there are contradictions or mistakes in the Quran. It is the word of Allah verbatim and Allah does not make mistakes.

Abrogation (http://www.meforum.org/1754/peace-or-jihad-abrogation-in-islam) (Quran 2:106) means that if there are contradictions, they both are true, but the later revelations take precedence over the (chronologically) older ones.

There are really 2 books in the Quran, the older Mekkan and the later warring Medinan verses, which supersede (abrogate) the more conciliatory Mekkan verses where Muhammad was still recruiting his army.

Muslims are quoting the abrogated verses to the kuffar to fool them into believing that Islam is peace.

Favorites are Quran 2:256 (there is no compulsion in religion), Quran 5:32 (always quoted incompletely to omit important context), and not quoting the following important verse (Quran 5:33).     See here  (http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2009/06/obama_quotes_verse_532_omits_5.html)

If they change their evaluation, I will too.  But on an official pronouncement.

tbh my fuzzy friend, you shouldn't take everything government says as canon, they really only have their own interests in mind.

All religious texts contradict themselves.  That's how they manage to mean all things to many people.  That doesn't make them true are even rational.  In fact, never rational (to the degree that rational means consistent (and it should).

Prohibitions are an entirely different thing though, and should probably be discussed separately.
