[naomi24]

Well done! Haaaa! :o)

[douglas9401]

'caterwauling'? Can I suggest a hearing check or that you're not confusing him with Shakin Stevens? :-)

[Spicerack]

No-one dislikes Islam more than I do but don't knock the Catman.......man.

[Old_Geezer]

Come on, everyone knows, without pointing it out, that it's Cats that do cat-erwauling.

Vetuste: You write "THe Christian martyr dies[i for her faith.

The Muslim martyr [i]kills] for hers."

Pithy, but having read the Koran (not as a Muslim, just a seeker-after-truth), I don't recollect any such instruction,.

Was it just a witty observation, or do you have any Islamic reference?

There, but for the grace of reason, go I.

[naomi24]

bainbrig, //having read the Koran (not as a Muslim, just a seeker-after-truth), I don't recollect any such instruction,. //

I can only assume you missed several chunks. Try reading it again.

[bainbrig]

naomi. “I can only assume you missed several chunks. Try reading it again.”

Alright, since you’re an expert, which ‘chunks’ instruct female would-be martyrs in their actions?

[naomi24]

Jihad is a collective responsibility. It is incumbent upon all Muslims, male and female, to further the cause of Allah.

[bainbrig]

That is NOT a quote from the Quran.

[webbo3]

Out of the frying pan and into the fire then.

[naomi24]

Bainbrig, no, it isn’t a quote from the Koran – but it’s what the Koran teaches. Having read the book you’ll no doubt be familiar with the verses that encourage torture and slaughter.

[Zacs-Master]

(STAGE WHISPER: Ah, you see, what’s happened here folks is, bainbrig has asked Naomi for proof of something. Naomi can’t find it, so she’s turning it round for bainbrig to find. A classic Naomi ploy in action)

[naomi24]

Good try Zacs but yet another failure. Have a look at this. Gender non-specific.

“Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for Allah loveth not transgressors. And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have Turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter; but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque, unless they (first) fight you there; but if they fight you, slay them. Such is the reward of those who suppress faith.”

[Al-Qur’an 2:190-191]

[Zacs-Master]

Zilch about martyrdom there.

[naomi24]

//And do not think of those killed in Allah’s path as dead: indeed they are alive and receive their sustenance from their Lord. They rejoice in the bounty provided by Allah. (Surah 3, Aal-e Imran verse 169-170)//

Gender non-specific.

[Zacs-Master]

But martyrdom (specifically female if poss) is what bainbrig wants proof of. And that’s not it.

[naomi24]

Wriggle on, Zacs. :o)
