What bothers me?

The use of force (Jihad) to impose Islam on everyone. Jews would never do that.

Oh, Ramadan is a reformer, indeed. It just happens that Islam has a somewhat different concept of 'reform' than what we've come to expect from Christianity.

In aChristian context, it means dissolving the institutional papal power and returning to the compassion and example of Christ himself.

In the case of Islam, it means reestablishing the institutional power of the Caliphate and returning to the will power and example of Muhammad himself.

Same word, different implications.

They strike fear in the hearts of the mullahs

These two lovely ladies? These mullahs seem easy to scare :)

Why do we give them more weapons? I thought Somalia had plenty enough already.

Given the current economical situation, saving the money would probably be better.

How are they possibly going to stop football fans singing that?

Fear and intimidation, intimidation and fear. They'll target the leadership, of course, not the masses having a good time on the stadions.

Unfortunately, this is serious enough. They're trying to trick us into a clampdown on free expression and implementing a repressive rule in the West, by scaring our 'leaders' into it, and they're having some success. This is another test case.

Obvious. Since soccer (football) is good fun (to watch or to play), Mo can't have known about it. There's no joy in Islam (Khomeini).

The whole thing is so self-contradictory that you need some spaced-out clerics to make arbitrary decisions about what is Right and what is Wrong.

I think Reason and Logic are distinct

Very interesting observation. I think is useful to understand how Islamic scholars pretend to be logical, yet never get down to critically examine their basic axioms. Fantasy world they're living in. Unfortunately, they got too many more or less innocent people involved in that not so pretty fantasy :(

True. Khomeini made that very clear. No joy, no humour, just serious. He looked like that, too.

This is weird. The Islamic scholars seem to have the ability to undertake complex argumentation. Yet, they don't observe the basic Western premise of checking things with reality (which currently stands at: "0 mermaids observed in the wild"), nor to simply say "Ridiculous" and bail out. Looks like the use of basic scientific thinking is 'haram', too.

Christianity, at least, understands reason as a gift from God, to be utilized to examine creation and make the best use of it, for the benefit of all.
