1 | They lack Apathy | Luke 17:3 | EdB | 120923 | ||
Peter2 Again not to defend Islam but in the interest of fairness. Islam is not without morals. In fact they view as having weaker morals than they. For instance you will not find night clubs and red light districts is a strong Muslim city. We had to get special permission to allow our soldiers to have beer in Kuwait as the nation is dry. Some islamic nations have a higher literacy rate than we have and many offer their residents free medical care and nearly total social security. Divorce rates are many times lower in some Islamic countries than they are between. That is not to say Islam is a good religion, it isn't, it is totally false, but to generalize and say it is without morals is also wrong. EdB |

No, no, I was not saying that the moslem religion is without morals. I don't think I said anything close to that. I said that their moral, that is the thread for their culture, doesn't work. The evidence for that? look at them now and where they came from. It is true that they have much more conviction than we do. Yet, unlimited conviction is not a virtue. I have never seen forgiveness mentioned in the same sentence with Moslem, thus explaining inherant disharmony. | ||||||

Pete2 I agree. But your last couple of posts left a completely different understanding than what your saying now. Let me also add where they came from was a pagan religion with many gods that allowed most anything, most lived in servitude (read slavery) to the rich among them. Therefore Islam with it near communistic approach (take from the rich and give to the poor) appealed to them. It also coincided with their view of life in general. If something bad happened it was punishment if something good happened it reward, if it couldn’t be explained it was Kismet. We see this general attitude infiltrating the Christian church here in American with the health, wealth and prosperity gospel. EdB |
