..., in my opinion, saw great merit in it. He almost took it up.

So it appears thar mohammed as well as being a slave trader, rapist and paedophile was also a murderer, why am I not surprised that he has a lot of followers who try to emulate him.

Interesting link birdie. The first 30 seconds already highlights what an evil and preposterous cult Islam is.

[Svejk]

You can't blame Keyplus, he's probably had the Religion of Peace beaten into him since the day he was born.
Can't understand Sandy and others around here. Have you considered 'bigging up' the RoP to your fellow Christians who are being oppressed in Syria or Iraq or, basically, any country they have sufficient numbers in.

^Coming to a country near us, soon, unless our Dhimmis wake up.

"Can't understand Sandy and others around here. Have you considered 'bigging up' the RoP to your fellow Christians who are being oppressed in Syria or Iraq or, basically, any country they have sufficient numbers in.".
The persecution of Copts in Egypt (especially under the late lamented Morsi), the slaughter, expulsion or forced conversion of Syrian and Iraqi Christians of all flavours by IS(IS/IL/UCK) (including RCs and Maronites) are crimes which have not yet come to the attention of the Twitter "petition for change" community, Svejk. Therefore the great and the good of AB will be unaware of them. I amuse myself with the observation that, in the opinion of some, invincible ignorance is a mortal sin.

Posts like the OP are prompted more by devilment than by any feelings for Islam.

[beso]

Whatever romps a question is irrelevant. The fact is sandy posed a question and the answers came.

Some people don't like those answers because they can't handle the truth. The Abrahamic religions, especially Islam are objectively demonstrated as philosophically objectionable by their own tenets.

People should stop pretending that the foundations of extremist violence are not firmly embedded in the holy books. It is there in black and white for anyone who bothers to read them.

[jomifl]

Beso, you are perhaps forgetting that about 50% of muslims who claim the justification of the koran for their atrocities cannot read let alone read arabic. Even it's local arch defender (Keyplus) cannot read arabic so cannot really appreciate it's true meaning any more than you or I. Fortunatey there are many who can read arabic so we can use their actions as a reliable guide to the meaning of the koran. Depressing isn't it?

It would help if people did not use acronyms/abbreviations not in the general domain. I have had to google ROP; I think I now have a vague idea of the meaning.

Excellent post from Birdie who obviously is living in the real world.

I always though it was Right of Passage but after looking at http://www.acronymfinder.com/ROP.html
with 119 definitions, I'm not so sure.

It may be some religious abbreviation that I am not aware of.

[BlackadderV]

I think in this context it stands for; Religion of peace, a term used by those who believe it to be anything but.

Good post Birdie.

[keyplus90]

////I myself have been threatened with physical violence on more than one occasion by the Islamic entity known as 'Keyplus90////

If that makes you somewhat important my little birdie then that's fine otherwise you are not that special for me. But I would take that your own words as well as wishes. Any way Naomi liked your post so you may get some bonus with the next pay.

[naomi24]

Keyplus, if you'd like an application form, just say. ;o)

[bunkmoreland]

It appears to me,that "todays" Islam is an Eastern religion that is dependant on severe adherence to subjugation on many terms for both females and males. The problem is that Western society has democracy and expects all religons to respect each other? If you don't want that? Why use violence to change it?
