Whatever ye shall spend in the cause of Allah, shall be repaid unto you, and ye shall not be treated unjustly.” (8:60)<br /><br />Obviously, the Qur'an isn't really calling for terror in the modern sense, but then again, I don't think there is much of a distinction. After all, there is no doubt that terror attacks such as those of September 11th, 2001 are designed to “strike terror into the hearts of the enemy”. A note in some written instructions left for the 9/11 hijackers read: “Shout Allah is great because this shout strikes terrors in the hearts of the infidels.”<br /><br />As for Jenkins' study, I don't dismiss it because I "don't like it", I dismiss it because it seems merely to be Jenkins' own opinion, and ignores the kind of relevant facts that I blogged about in my thread here last September, such as the important differences in context between Biblical and Qur'anic violence. It doesn't appear to use any objective comparison methods, whereas Tina Magaard's study, based on the admittedly limited translated extracts that I have been able to obtain, appears much more driven by hard data.<br /><br />In any case, Jenkins could be granted to be correct that the Bible is "more violent" than the Qur'an, and still the fact remains that it is Islam, and not Christianity, that today has TV stations teaching unpleasant things about women, and whose highest authorities are endorsing acts of terrorism, and whose followers have committed over 15,000 terror attacks in its name in just the last nine years. Jenkins' silly theory about "holy amnesia" does not explain this disparity adequately.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11533347085091152172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5357858323206347405.post-86947546718153934652010-03-26T02:31:55.197+00:002010-03-26T02:31:55.197+00:00The idea of a text that old "calling for terr...The idea of a text that old "calling for terror" is absolutley ridiculous.<br /><br />You dismiss this study because you don't like it's findings and you believe the other one because you do like it's findings!<br /><br />Talk about intellectual dishonesty.Andrew McCannhttp://atangledweb.squarespace.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5357858323206347405.post-28257602237770745772010-03-25T23:04:22.321+00:002010-03-25T23:04:22.321+00:00Hi, "Andrew", welcome back.
Unsurprisin...Hi, "Andrew", welcome back.<br /><br />Unsurprisingly, the first link is simply a platform for a 9/11 Truther, that particular ideology being rejected even by most on the extreme Left, and not even worth discussing.<br /><br />As for the second article, I read that several days ago, and it is just complete nonsense. I wrote about violence in the Bible, and why it is NOT remotely comparable to violence in the Qur'an, late last year:<br /><br />http://eye-on-islam.blogspot.com/2009/09/islam-vs-christianity-equivalent.html<br /><br />In any case, while we're on that subject, here are a couple of unfortunately very brief extracts from a three-year study by a Danish researcher specialising in textual analysis, who studied the core foundational texts of ten major world religions, and came to precisely the opposite conclusion from that of Philip Jenkins, namely that "The texts in Islam distinguish themselves from the texts of other religions by encouraging violence and aggression against people with other religious beliefs to a larger degree. There are also straightforward calls for terror. This has long been a taboo in the research into Islam, but it is a fact that we need to deal with…"<br /><br />http://fjordman.blogspot.com/2005/09/islam-is-most-warlike-religion.htmlBenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11533347085091152172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5357858323206347405.post-17580422939881928772010-03-25T20:40:42.341+00:002010-03-25T20:40:42.341+00:00This is actually a really interesting piece.This is actually a really interesting <a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=124494788" rel="nofollow">piece</a>.Andrew McCannhttp://atangledweb.squarespace.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5357858323206347405.post-12556020939692046762010-03-25T18:51:28.478+00:002010-03-25T18:51:28.478+00:00Hey there...
