And the fact is Muslim's are forced to pick and choose among the many contradictions of that book. The result is that some Muslims are good men like Dr. Hassaballa. And some are more consistent to the historic teachings of Islam like Osama Bin Ladin.gileskirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11546229381528820614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123697.post-1139960382602313282006-02-14T17:39:00.000-06:002006-02-14T17:39:00.000-06:00I see now.

But, the vast majority of the ji'had references issue an altogether unabiguous call to kill or murder or subdue or subjugate the "hated infidels." My book <I>Blood of the Moon</I> has several pages of examples of this. In addition, this sad reality is reflected in the fact that there has never been a time when Islamic history was not marked by the violent and revolutionary tactics of terror, assassination, and suicide attacks. Alas, no honest reader can avoid concluding that men like Osama Bin Laden are actually "good" and "faithful" Muslims.gileskirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11546229381528820614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123697.post-1139575354211270432006-02-10T06:42:00.000-06:002006-02-10T06:42:00.000-06:00Stephen: I believe Covenant PCA will be making the...Stephen: I believe Covenant PCA will be making the tapes available.gileskirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11546229381528820614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123697.post-1139536187613382242006-02-09T19:49:00.000-06:002006-02-09T19:49:00.000-06:00Chris: The conference begins at 7 PM on Friday and...Chris: The conference begins at 7 PM on Friday and then continues Saturday morning.
