Islam cannot coexist with a peaceful world.

Huh, well waddya know? My secret plans for total world domination and subjugation have been exposed by a Freudian slip.

Curses!

[Bibliovore]

Are we actually done with this debate now? Can we put this shit to bed and get on with our lives now that we’ve substantiated that the OP’s point is utter bollocks?

kanicbird: This is actually a serious question. Are you aware that your interpretation of the New Testament is not the only interpretation?

Was there an answer to this question?

Yes, there is:

[list=a][li]kanicbird is not aware that there are other interpretations of the New Testament.[/li][li]kanicbird is aware that there are other interpretations of the New Testament.[/list][/li]

@kanicbird

I have to say that I have learned a lot about the scriptures from debating here the learning is ongoing (which btw should answer your question).

That’s not even close to answering the question.

[Attack_from_the_3rd_dimension]

I think kanicbird is ignoring me. Now I’m sad.

You mean this one: http://www.islamicblog.co.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Islam_religion_of_peace_by_karbala_style.jpg

I don’t doubt that some Muslims, perhaps even whole groups of Muslims, use ‘Religion Of Peace’ as a slogan. But is there any evidence for those specific people or groups using it, not living up to it?

[Bibliovore]

Now that I think about it, “Religion of Peace” is actually kinda catchy. I may have that put on a t-shirt in a funky font, then wear it as I subjugate some unbelievers and generally get all up in their business.

I don’t know. It was just more of a comment of the use of a slogan that was so wee known that is comparable to advertising slogans, which no other religions seem to have, and advertisement by it’s nature tries to influence behavior by using slogans (among other things), to create associations that generally don’t exist naturally.

I know the only thought harbored in your mind is that of my total submission. Oh yeah, I can totally imagine it already, me all strapped and tied, defenseless to your very evil ways.

Bow CHICKA bow wow…

Do it in Arabic, then wear it through your TSA screening. You might make the big buck settlement.

[Mangetout]

I reckon it’s a fairly safe bet that those taking the trouble to subscribe to that slogan are likely to be compatible with a peaceful world.

Or else they’re up to something, but neither way does that really seem to be saying anything about Islam as a whole, which is perhaps the point. The more you generalise, the less accurate you get.

As an unbeliever, can you buy me dinner first?

Of course, but no booze or pork

• Amusing back story: Some years ago now, Bib and I and two other male Dopers who shall remain nameless had lunch at a very nice BBQ place in Soho. At some point during the lunch it was learned that the waitress had assumed that we were two gay couples rather than four straight men, although we never did find out how she had mentally paired us off…

[Bibliovore]

You just made me laugh out loud at my desk. And now I have a hankering for BBQ beef ribs, dammit! Oh, and apparently the waitress thought I was gay because I was “well-groomed”. :dubious:

So wait, are **Tristan **and Capitaine Zombie both guys who are yearning for me to subjugate them?

Not in so many words.

So you’re a lady who’s yearning for me to subjugate her?

Darn dude, I’m a man. And your well groomed looks clearly indicate you’re no innocent when it comes to the same sex domination game (which is an alternate translation for “Religion of peace” in Arabic. You know how Arabic can be translated wildly, just look at Kaddhafi/Ghaddafi/KaDuffy and on and on…).
