Does Islam, in fact, Encourage Paedophilia?

#139 The prophet was a messenger, that is all. While no doubt many muslims try to make him a de facto god, the fact is that the Quran is very clear on this.

I admire Gandhi's concept of non-violence too - even though I am aware of the fact that he had strange sleeping habits.

It is concepts that are important. Nor personalities. The latter are important only to lesser minds than you or me (or masadi). :-)

Re: # 144

Ahmed, U are again clever by a quarter, this time.

I was telling that all Indians are not Modis & u say I am backing him?

History is the witness (1947) and contemporary history is a witness (Muslim majority Kashmir) abt this Muslim majority thing. They cant live in India in a democratic framework but dont mind emigrating - like u did - in droves to the western countries.

What are u defending here?

Abt Gandhi's sleeping habits. What abt Jinnah's peadophilia? At his age he ogled an underage girl or sex.

#140 Folio: If the best you can do to defend Modi is to point to the fact that the muslim population growth rate in India has not been affected, then clearly you need to think a bit more.

Think a bit more, then come back and tell me that you now understand why his was denied a visa to the US. And then explain to me why he still continues as an elected official in India, rather than behind bars.

I didnt say female foetus killing has to do with hinduism per se. I said India is the only country in the world where millions of such killings have taken place.

You did say and I quote: "and hindu customs are not as harmless as you seem to think (see two examples in #127)" and the examples you gave were those of female foeticide and suicide bombings by the LTTE.

It does mean that Indian society is not exactly issue-free.

Nowhere did I say India doesn't have problems. God knows we have our fair share of problems.

Indeed, it seems to me in many ways your problems are much bigger than ours.

I beg to disagree. Pakistan's problem of Islamic fundamentalism is not just a threat to non-Muslims but Muslims themselves (the labeling of moderate Muslims as "Munafiqs").

I have never seen you or any Indian (other than Stuka) use the above arguments when some Indian starts acting as if Islam is the evil religion?

That is because Islam does not become evil when someone says it is. Islam becomes evil when a few Muslims (maybe a tiny minority, but nevertheless) resort to violence and indulge in stuff of the kind we're seeing day in a day out (the last 10-15 days have seen almost a dozen suicide bombings in Pakistan alone).

for sex i/o or sex.

#145 Folio: Where did you learn "pak muslims are screened very carefully for US entry" than Indian e.g.? Dont just repeat things some Indians write on chowk without thinking - since then you are merely descending to their level of stupidity. Weigh the evidence and the logic for yourself first.

Re: # 150

Ahmed, it's an opne thing of Pak Muslims screened...

Chennai,

Even Imran han was detained for 4-5 hours in the US.

Folio..

Pakis are screened all across the western world..Mandatory, if you are Paki to spend quality time with immigration and security officials of those countries....names like tahmed etc are programmed to raise a flag and alert officials against a nut-case entering their country........

Imran Khan i/o Imran..

Chennai, beware of a Qadiani hamid who wud appear to spit on us telling that Madrasis are worth a spit.

pakis aren't singled out for screening? in what alternate universe?

prophet tahmed is cleopatra: the queen of denial..

hh #146 "Islam becomes evil when a few Muslims (maybe a tiny minority, but nevertheless) resort to violence "

Did christianity become evil when Hitler killed millions of innocent people? Did buddhism and shintoism become evil when Japanese killed millions of innocent people? Did hinduism become evil when Modi killed 3000 innocent people?

Individuals commit crimes. Religion/ideology is merely an excuse they use. Everyone knows that. That is why christianity, buddhism and shintoism were not banned, or even considered relevant to the issues, after World War II.

Indians merely use incidents of terrorism committed in the name of Islam as an excuse to demonize what is a minority religion in their country. Only thing is - they fool only themselves, not people in the west.

And India is a less influential country in South Asia than it would be based on population and democracy and economic progress than it would be if you people were more large-hearted and did not feel the need to insult other communities. Now India is just a part of the problem at worst, and an irrelevancy at best. Rather than a part of the solution as it could be to neighboring countries like Pakistan.

Have to go now. bye.

Hamidm apparently has some brain waves malfunctioning due to his cross-bred background...Electric shock therapy daily for a year would jolt those waves back into shape...Higher voltage though is to be recommended in his case....
