Violence against Women - More disturbing News…

Even when some backward countries attempt to join the 21 st century, Islam does its very best to prevent that. Pakistan not too long ago passed a law protecting women against violence and discrimination. But here’s the latest out of Pakistan: Pakistan religious groups say law protecting women from...

I know – you like to hear what I have to say…

Well, a few of you, anyway – those who don’t mind that most of the time I’m talking about nasty stuff, and that I am not particularly correct ‘politically’, LOL, even if I am correct in most other respects; simply because I have this strange habit of writing only about things I know and understand …...

“Why?” A series inspired by TAPS...XI – A change of focus

First, a reminder – when I write ‘God demands’ or ‘God says’ it stands for ‘The Koran’s author(s) write that God demands…’, since it is my conviction that, in reality, ‘God’ never said anything to anyone. But to the devout Muslim God has indeed spoken, and that God is the same God of Abraham who is... Sign in to see full entry.

“Why?” A series inspired by TAPS...X

“Why?” asked TAPS, and I read that to mean what I think she did – why do they lie, echoing the courageous Muslim lady who had asked “Why do we Muslims lie?” In answering that question I have tried to show that Islam’s teachings represent a necessarily aggressive opposition to Christianity; it simply...

“Why?” A series inspired by TAPS...IX

We’re finally getting to the core of the answer to the question… Remember it? ‘Why do we lie?” asked by that Muslim lady in the video, and “Why do they lie?” asked by our Christian lady TAPS? I have tried to show that, because of claiming a common ‘source’, namely the God of Abraham, Islam emerged... Sign in to see full entry.

“Why?” A series inspired by TAPS...VIII

This has been the trickiest part – I had written pages and pages which were turning into a ‘book’ – so in the end I had to get back to the very end of Part V… But before going there maybe I should mention I have changed the title of this series, from ‘A post etc.’ to ‘A series etc.’, which your...

“Why?” A series inspired by TAPS...VII (And Yet More…)

‘And yet more’, LOL…As always, I am thankful for any comments. TAPS and Bel may be the only ones left who remember there was a time, years ago, when I answered all comments, but I simply had to drop that practice. Since then I will occasionally do so, when some comments simply clamor to be... Sign in to see full entry.

“Why?” A series inspired by TAPS...VI (And More…)

The ‘More’ today are answers to several comments – some of them more interesting in what they show then what they say, LOL…, and I will have to address all that at some length. The first one, though, has to be the one by TAPS, who writes: “Way back when I wrote the word "Why?" before this series of... Sign in to see full entry.

“Why?” A series inspired by TAPS...V

While in history dates are always somewhat artificial markers, most Western scholars agree that the time of the Hijra, Muhammad’s flight to Medina, is also the period in which the character of the Koran changes quite dramatically. And the importance of that cannot be emphasized enough – for to the... Sign in to see full entry.

“Why?” A series inspired by TAPS...IV

Let us dispense quickly with one issue - the claim of ‘Revelation!’ We know that people can and do have ‘visions’ – dream-like processes of the brain that can appear completely ‘real’ to the ‘visionary’ without having any basis in reality at all. They can be momentary or persist over time, often... Sign in to see full entry.
