Eid Mubarak everyone!

since the discussions on this thread have become appropriately two-sided, i would like to repost a question i made last year, which wasn't adequately answered:

 

"then in that case, i would throw to you the question i posted above: what can you say about the mullahs and ulamas who recently orchestrated a rally to protest the killing of osama bin laden right after noontime prayers?"

sorry pero walang akong idea dyan... di ko alam ang balita...

 

pero ito lang tanong ko... totoo kaya ang al qaeda?

 

may puwang ba sa Koran ang terorismo?

 

ang pakikipaglaban ba tungkol sa kalayaan ng bayan ay isang terorismo? sa ganun, matatawag din nating terorista si gat bonifacio?

 

sino kaya ang tunay na terorismo?

^ Um, dude, If you want to maintain a semblance of credibility, then check your sources. Robin Cook didn't say that. It's generally attributed to Pierre Henry Bunel - A French traitor who passed state secrets to the brutal Serbian regime (who ironically enough slaughtered thousands of Muslims).

 

Although I'd concede the possibility that Al Quaida members probably don't call themselves Al Quaida, it would be absolute stupidity to claim that they don't exist. Just because your interpretation of the Koran doesn't include terrorism doesn't necessarily mean that there are no Muslim terrorists.

I'll add to this. Granted, the Koran does not condone terrorism; that being the case, would you not agree that the world is a better place without the likes of Osama, whose bloodthirsty deeds are undisputed? Ergo, would you not also agree that the imams who protested his killing were wrong?

 

And no, not all freedom fighters are terrorists. I do hope you did not mean to place Osama in the same company as Bonifacio; that would've been insulting to the memory of Bonifacio.

 

@chito, thanks for the heads-up.

it's a telling thing, that bin Laden quoted the Koran endlessly in his declarations and missives.

 

all it would take for the world to truly believe that Islam is a religion of peace is for moderate Muslims to denounce acts of terrorism done in the name of their holy book. problem is, those who do not hold fully to the faith are dealt with as harshly as unbelievers.

dont know much about the islam religion but i know every major religion was built to promote peace and harmony among men and man's ultimate union with God.

That being the case, wouldn't you agree that it's a good thing that an extremist terrorist like Osama bin Laden is dead? After all, he didn't exactly promote peace and harmony among men, did he?

[Paolo G]

the man started to be the normal type just like everybody else until his environment radicalized him. the US/CIA partly contributed to his radicalization. he dreamed of peace and harmony in the future thru violent means

as the only way towards that path. that's where he was wrong. our world is too complicated to be grasped for people like us with very limited knowledge of how the world is being manipulated by the ruling powers. Just watch

Jason Bourne and you'd realized the horrors govts of so called civilized countries are doing in promoting their own social agenda. evil begets evil. and osama wasn't the first evil; he was just a product.

[Paolo G]

both seeds of peace and violence are rooted in every man's heart. how it grows is affected by what one experiences in life.

every religion i think is for peace but along the way but only for a while it succumbs to the temptation of violence.

[rebeck]

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

 

Is that a yes or a no?

 

Granted, he wasn't the first evil; don't you still think the world is a better place without him? (just as the world is a better place without the likes of Hitler, or Pol Pot, or a number of other murderers)
