Judeo-Christian-Muslim is possible

Reader comment on item: Muslim Europe
in response to reader comment: Islam is Secular

Submitted by Syed Kasim (Canada), Dec 18, 2006 at 23:39

Reuben: Islam is first and foremost above its religious undertones mostly lifted straight from the Torah and Christian bibles a political philosophy. It makes peace when it is weak and war when it is strong. The tolerance it affords other when it is weak should not be mistaken for secularism. At the present moment it is strong.

Syed Kasim: If Islam is also based on the same Torah and Christian bibles how is that Islam anti-Judeo-Christian. Let us not contradict. The same thing(tolerance and war) was done by any political ideology. For eg. East India Company in India made peace with the Indian rulers when it was weak and made war when it was strong.

Reuben: The only thing that might save Europe is if the true war with this attempt to tyrannise the human consciousness that is Islam occurs sooner rather than later when there are enough westerners still around to fight it. Historically despite the politically correct nonsense Islam's only contribution to Europe has been as an antagonist and it remains so right up to this era. Either we succumb and die or fight and survive. I choose fight.

Syed Kasim: No muslim country tried to fight with the US or Europe for the last 50 years. We may just say only fringe elements like alqaeda fights with the West. Whatever Saddam said regarding WMD of Iraq immediately before Iraq war turned out to be true but whatever Big B's(Bush and Blair) said regarding WMD of Iraq immediately before Iraq war turned out to be false. Who did/does try to fight with whom.

Thanks

Syed Kasim
