Shooting reported at Paris magazine Charlie Hebdo

Belief takes no notice of facts, and has no impact upon them

the good Muslims believe that Muhammad was a violent pedophile barbarian worthy of respect and is the ideal for humanity, the bad Muslims... not so much. the bad Muslims might not be privy to the facts that the good Muslims are using.
This is errant nonsense. You should try reading my post above. Facts have nothing to do with it; If you are basing your assumptions about the beliefs of others on facts, reason or logic, then you are making a gross error. The only way to find out what someone believes is to see what he does, and to a lesser extent, what he says. Most Muslims do not engage in or even call for violence or paedophilia, so your conclusion is not just unsupportable; it is also demonstrably wrong.
you missed the point, Muslims respect Muhammad and think he is the ideal, just so happens he was a violent pedophile barbarian.
I didn't say they all knew that he was a violent pedophile barbarian, that doesn't change the fact that Muslims respect him and think he is the ideal for humanity.
try again.
but either way Muhammad was a violent pedophile barbarian and they respect him and think he is the ideal for humanity, whether or not the know the facts about him doesn't change their respect and reverence.
No, but it does change the essence of what they respect and revere. And as that is all that matters in terms of influencing their actions, your implication that Muslims are or should be paedophiles or barbarians is baseless.
The good Muslims want to be violent pedophile barbarians because that is what they respect and treat as the ideal for humanity, the bad ones not so much because of a number of reasons possibly and one of them being they don't know the details about Muhammad.

Yes.
just so happens he was a violent pedophile barbarian.
And yes. BUT, and this is the point you are missing, these two truthful statements are completely unrelated to each other in the belief systems of Muslims.

They are related in historical reality, but belief doesn't have anything at all to do with reality.

I didn't say they all knew that he was a violent pedophile barbarian,
Good, because that would be complete bollocks.
that doesn't change the fact that Muslims respect him and think he is the ideal for humanity.
Indeed. But it DOES show that your claim "The good Muslims want to be violent pedophile barbarians because that is what they respect and treat as the ideal for humanity" is FALSE.

You really don't seem to be able to grasp this, but Muslims revere a fiction, as do all theists. And the fiction is not constrained to have any relationship to reality.

So your claim "Muslims want to be violent pedophile barbarians because that is what they respect and treat as the ideal for humanity" is total crap.

Your claim could only be true if all Muslims were strictly rational in their beliefs. But as we know this to be false, your claim is unfounded.

Yeah there are good Muslims, those who know the details of Muhammad, and that is what makes them good Muslims and there are bad Muslims who don't know the details of Muhammad and that's what makes them bad Muslims.

They are related in historical reality, but belief doesn't have anything at all to do with reality.
I don't know what you are trying to express with this statement, but good Muslims know the details and bad Muslims don't
get over it, its fact.
I didn't say they all knew that he was a violent pedophile barbarian,
Good, because that would be complete bollocks.
You are showing signs of progress, don't screw it up.
that doesn't change the fact that Muslims respect him and think he is the ideal for humanity.

Are you drunk?
I don't know how else to put it to you.
Good Muslims know the details about Muhammad and respect him and think he is the ideal for humanity and express that however they want to, if they kill a few people, get a child bride and molest that child, and terrorize bad Muslims who don't know the details or anybody else then that is what they do and it is consistent with emulating Muhammad.
Bad Muslims don't know the details about Muhammad, some are pacifists, some are not, and they spread “Islam”, and the notion that Muhammad is worthy of respect and is the ideal for humanity.
but either way Muhammad was a violent pedophile barbarian and they respect him and think he is the ideal for humanity, whether or not the know the facts about him doesn't change their respect and reverence.

BAD MUSLIMS DON'T EMULATE A VIOLENT PEDOPHILE BARBARIAN NAMED MUHAMMAD.

I made the distinction between good Muslims and bad Muslims, do you understand?

NO, I said GOOD Muslims who know the details of Muhammad's life that include violence, pedophilia, and barbarism want to do the same.
I am not saying ALL Muslims, why don't you understand the qualifier?

Probably because you are using the word 'good' in its less common sense.

If by 'good Muslims' you mean 'Muslims who are morally good' (which is what the phrase usually would imply in English), then your argument is incoherent nonsense.

It appears, however, that by 'good Muslims' you mean 'Muslims who are particularly knowledgeable about the history of their religion, and who nevertheless follow it despite its clear moral failings'.

So morally good people who are Muslims, you describe as 'bad Muslims', and morally bad people who are Muslims, you describe as 'good Muslims'; which may be an attempt at a clever rhetorical point, but is wasted due to the high potential for confusion amongst your audience.

If by 'good Muslims' you mean 'Muslims who are particularly knowledgeable about the history of their religion, and who nevertheless follow it despite its clear moral failings', then your argument is NOT incoherent nonsense; it is just nonsense.

Forget 'good' or 'bad'; MOST Muslims do NOT wish to pursue violence, and even fewer want to promote or engage in paedophilia; So the first phrase of the initial assertion of yours to which I responded (and which makes no attempt to use any qualifier of 'good' or 'bad', btw):
Muslims believe that a violent pedophile barbarian named Muhammad is worthy of respect and is the ideal for humanity, I don't care if they are pacifists they still believe it.
..is only true of a tiny fraction of Muslims; and the second phrase is a statement that you have abandoned all pretence at fairness or reason; The whole rendering your generalisation of this slur to all Muslims stupid, childish and wrong - both factually and morally.

"All X believe that violence is desirable, I don't care if they are pacifists they still believe it" tells us nothing about X, but does let us know that the person making the statement has no clue what a pacifist is, or has no clue about the beliefs of 'X', or quite likely, both; or perhaps that the person making the statement is incapable of reasoned argument.

But... FOX News says that all Muslims are pedophile terrorists. Why do you love the terrorists? Why do you hate America? Why do you hate freedom?

If you want to change the meaning of “good Muslim” then define it?
But how do you define a Muslims that.are knowledgeable about their religion and those who are not?

who cares, but we are talking about a portion of the Muslim population.
It is not my fault that a good Muslim knows the details and a bad Muslim doesn't know the details.
I figured the deliminator for good and bad Muslims is how much they actually know about Muhammad and their religion.
What metric do you think is appropriate to segregate the good and bad Muslims?
take your best shot, but I don't think it is going to help anyone.
matter of fact you will play right into the hands of the Muslim apologists if you change the metric from what I have used, a knowledge of Islam and Muhammad is the best delimiter.

can you admit the Muhammad was a violent pedophile barbarian?
Is that what you have a problem with?
I didn't say Muslims who don't know the detail of Muhammad knew he was a violent pedophile barbarian and that fact alone rebuts your silly notion that I some how said that Muslims who don't know the details ( bad Muslims ) knew that Muhammad was a violent pedophile barbarian.
The sooner you actually read what I write the sooner you can quit making weird assumptions.

No, that is just about the only thing you have said that I don't have a problem with. :rolleyesa:

Yes.

And yes.

I think your desire to be right is clouding your judgment, try again because this last tid bit rant you posted is completely unrelated to anything I said.

I think your desire to be right is clouding your judgement, because this last bit I posted is an exact paraphrase of what you said, but with "Muslims" replaced with the variable 'X' to show that the form of statement is illogical for any 'X', and that my objection to your argument is that it is incoherent and irrational, and that the specific subject matter doesn't change this one iota.

But as you are clearly too busy having an argument to actually notice when someone is agreeing with you, and when they are not, it is probably pointless to continue this debate.
 
oh yeah, a fundamental Muslim belief that a violent pedophile barbarian is worthy of respect and whose conduct is the ideal for which humanity should emulate is irrelevant to a Muslim's conduct. After all, it is only what they base their conduct on.
"TOTALLY IRRELEVANT!" shouts the Muslim apologists.
what a crock, maybe this denial works on Muslims generally speaking, is that why you promote it here, on this forum?

And your point being what? That all muslims sees muhammad every action as a rule to live by?
 
And your point being what? That all muslims sees muhammad every action as a rule to live by?
that all Muslims respect Muhammad and think he is the ideal for humanity.
all Muslims don't necessarily have to know the details, that should be obvious
but basically yeah, some fudge it here and there but it's an ideal.

But then you are saying the same as warpoet: people filter out what they want to beliece in: mohammad is just a symbol, if you want to believe in peace then you pick the peaceful traits if you want to believe in war you pick the warrior traits. This works the same in jews and christians.
 
Well Christians look to Jesus as an ideal and he was a rapist that commited genocide.
 
Muslims believe that a violent pedophile barbarian named Muhammad is worthy of respect and is the ideal for humanity, I don't care if they are pacifists they still believe it.

Well it is a shame that you don't care whether or not you are right; because you are wrong.

Muslims believe that their religion was founded by a prophet called Mohammed. Most of them believe that Mohammed is worthy of respect. This is a belief; it is not, therefore based on facts.

Beliefs are sometimes informed by facts. For example, I believe that my car is parked in my garage, based on the fact that I just parked it there.

You mean religious belief isn't based on facts. That's true, and that's the entire problem!
 
you mean Moses?

No Yahweh did you read about him asking for consent before he knocked Mary up? Nope he just impregnated her and then let her know.

No, Mary agreed. Gabriel was his wingman:
Luke 1:26-38
Luke 1

In the sixth month, God
sent the angel Gabriel to
Nazareth, a town in Galilee,
to a virgin pledged to be
married to a man named
Joseph, a descendant of
David. The virgin’s name was
Mary.

The angel went to her
and said, “Greetings, you who
are highly favored! The Lord
is with you.”

Mary was greatly troubled
at his words and wondered
what kind of greeting this
might be.

But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid,
Mary, you have found favor
with God. You will be with
child and give birth to a son,
and you are to give him the
name Jesus. He will be great
and will be called the Son of
the Most High. The Lord God
will give him the throne of his
father David, and he will
reign over the house of Jacob
forever; his kingdom will
never end.”

“How will this be,” Mary
asked the angel, “since I am a
virgin?”

The angel answered, “The
Holy Spirit will come upon
you, and the power of the
Most High will overshadow
you. So the holy one to be
born will be called the Son of
God. Even Elizabeth your
relative is going to have a
child in her old age, and she
who was said to be barren is
in her sixth month. For
nothing is impossible with
God.”

“I am the Lord’s servant,”
Mary answered. “May it be to
me as you have said.”


Then the angel left her.
