Then you would say it is impossible to cut individual verses from the Koran to demonstrate how Islam is a violent religion?

No.

So context is important in reading biblical verses but not koranic verses. Interesting logic anon.

Oh hush now, you'll spoil anon-Bugs' fun!

And to the 'not-ron-anon', it's just tacky to celebrate the death of an enemy in battle. Nothing to do with the religions involved. Not to say the death of an enemy isn't a good thing, or to deny its importance, but it's unseemly to throw a party over it. You armchair psychopaths, I mean, generals are a funny bunch.

Context of verse and intent of a verse is important to both the Koran and the Bible, but I can't say it is impossible to prove or disprove something with a single verse or several verses snipped from either book.

I don't think the anon is following his/her own argument.

Well, there are two possibilities:
1. the anon isn't following their own reasoning (or can't)
2. their disagreement is hinged on one of those intensely legalist, special circumstance, sub-clause 87 type arguments.

---

I'm guessing choice #1.

So to sum up, context and intent are important, but it is possible to prove or disprove something with a single verse or several verses snipped out of context.

Anyone besides me having trouble following this arugment?

---

No, I said what I meant. You did not sum it up correctly at all. Did you attend the Sweetpeas school of summation?

I said that I could not say that it is impossible. In other words, I don't know that is impossible. I never said it was possible, did I? Sorry, you're having trouble following me.

Well I think it is silly going around and around when you cannot logically justify your point, but you continue to try to defend it.

Too bad you're running off. A few more back and forths and I think you would have had to chime in as another anon attacking me.

Well, if you want to get into semantics, that would be you do not know if it is impossible or possible.

Quote:

Putting aside that sublte distinction, if you admit context and intent are important, how could it be possible to cut verses out of context to demonstrate a religion's inherent violence?

Please explain how it would be possible, as cutting the verses removes the context and intent. Seems like these are opposite, no?

TO: AML, the Emily Post of War Etiquette.

I agree, celebrating the death of an enemy soldier is wrong. However, Zarqawi was not an enemy soldier. He was a cold, calculated murderer of innocent men, women, and children. Celebrating the death of this murdering subhuman scum is wholly and entirely appropriate. It should be required to prove your patriotism. (Oh, I exaggerate.)
