India Politics - Not Good News For Muslims
2009-03-11

#7  Christianity went through a stage when they believed forcible conversion was a duty the faithful owed to the souls of the unconverted. Judaism went through a brief stage under the Maccabees when they forcibly converted those they conquered, which is why Herod the Great was Jewish, and why his subjects distrusted him so deeply. Both religions got past it, and no longer accept converts who do not actually believe what they profess. So presumably Islam, too, could get past the need for forcible conversion and all that honour killing nonsense. Let's don't forget that the the figure Muslim leaders proclaim, of 6 million conversions to apostasy per year, not to mention the uncounted numbers who have just quietly drifted away from fanatical belief and observance. There are moderate Muslims out there; they just aren't the ones marching and making faces... or killing their self-liberating daughters.

#5  Can't - not if they're good musselmen and follow the teaching of Koran and Hadith. "The only good musselman is a bad one".

#4  until they completely and irrevocably forswear violence in all forms

Can't. On anything even remotely resembling a level playing field they're dead.

#3  Darth, that's a bit much. Self-defense and legally sanctioned police action are, after all, forms of violence. But agreement to the common terms of the society in which they live would be a good starting point. Specifically, an agreement that murder or threats of murder as a response to infractions upon familial, religious, or personal notions of honour are illegitimate.

#2  There will never be "living together in peace" with muzzies until they completely and irrevocably forswear violence in all forms. Until then, they are a cancer on the societies they live in.
