Do You Think That Terrorists Can Be
rehabilitated, those say who languish in our prisons.
Answers
Have terrorists like the IRA been 'rehabilitat ed' or have they just accepted the situation while continuiong their 'struggle' in less overt ways? People like Adams and the late not-lamented McGuiness will always be regarded as terrorists by me, as my mother used to say You can't polish a turd. A lot of this debate about releasing terrorists is about playing...

Naomi - // AH, //The notion that the Koran is the direct word of Allah has no more basis in fact that anything in the bible//
You know that, and I know that. However, we are not Muslims. For them even touching a copy of the Koran without having first washed your hands is a sin... it just cannot be done .... and don't even mention menstruating women!! Imagining that a rational western mindset applies universally is a huge mistake. It doesn't... by a long way. //
You are using extreme examples of religious instruction with the inference that all Muslims take such instruction equally seriously, and you and I know very well that they don't.
Count the number of Muslim-run shops selling bacon and alcohol, they are the vast majority, but they are not newsworthy because they don't adapt their religious texts to their psychopathic mindset and use one to excuse the other.
// Imagining that a rational western mindset applies universally is a huge mistake. It doesn't... by a long way. //
I don't, but equally inferring that an extreme eastern mindset applies universally is an equally huge mistake - it doesn't either, by a similarly long way.
I don't think you can argue that, to paraphrase - Islam is another country, they do things differently there.
Your inference is that we as Westerners are balanced, normal and civilised, and Islam is none of those things.
I regard that as an invalid generalisation which rather dismantles your argument.

AH, their religious texts don’t say they can’t sell bacon or alcohol - and they are not explicitly forbidden from those products. You will find both on sale in many Muslim countries. Islam simply counsels Muslims against consuming either.

Your assessment without validation doesn’t dismantle any argument.

the Mulims are not forbidden from eating pork ( someone )
oops missed surat al baqara
"The origin of this prohibition is in Surat al-Baqarah:
He has only forbidden you what dies of itself, and blood, and flesh of swine, and that over which any other (name) than (that of) God has been invoked; "
oh well - this is AB so any old cr=ip goes for gospel truth
( lahm al ghanzir - flesh of swine - even in the dialect I speak in 2019) oh well.... the struggle goes on )
surat al bagara. 2. 173

Haram baby its haram
read surat 2 - 173
you are talking about the Law of Necessity - which is also a defence to theft ( I stole coz I was starving , more so or fortiori if children are involved)
and so you would say - they dont chop off the hands of thieves (well good luck nigh!)
the words you have er "forgotten" are:
haram aleikum ( forbidden to you)
.... lahm el ghanzir ( the flesh of swine)
and this means as we all know besides you - that pork is forbidden explicitly in the Quran
NEXT!
oh dear dear ....
