Flat earth allegations

Ibn Baaz is best known in the West from a report claiming he issued a fatwa (pronouncement regarding sharia law) declaring: “The earth is flat. Whoever claims it is round is an atheist deserving of punishment.”[2] Ibn Baaz described this flat earth-report as “a pure lie”[3]. Several muslim leaders argued that, in fact, he maintained not that the earth is flat but that it is a stationary globe that the sun and moon revolve around, using Quranic literalism as evidence. (Discussion of the issues can be found in Islam and flat-earth theories).

“I repeat the that the islamic thugs have always and will always use censorship to limit peoples exposure to any thing other than what these islamo-freaks want u to believe. IT IS WELL KNOWN THAT THE SPREAD AND MAINTANANCE OF IGNORANCE IN SOCIETY IN ORDER FOR THEM TO SELL THEIR BULLSHIT.”
And you derived all of this from the fact that Buddha’s face has been censored? Wow, this is the reasoning of a tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorist. I’m sure you can do better than that. Perhaps some sort of evidence would be a good start. How exactly is censoring an image of Buddha supposed to help the Islamists sell their propaganda?

“THIS THUGGERY AND BULLYING IS ALSO EVIDENT IN WHAT YOU WRITE.. ” I guarantee you you would end up with a population of militants coming to displace you the very next day “.”
So an armed resistance is “thuggery and bullying”? Since when? People are free to fight for what they believe in when they’re the majority. Basically, what you really meant to say is “Either people accept my liberal secularism, or I’ll label them as thugs and bullies.” How freedom-loving of you.
I’d like to hear your opinion on what’s currently going on in Turkey. If you think that the above is an exercise in “thuggery and bullying,” what do you have to say about the Turkish secularists who are threatening with military intervention (coup d’État) in case an Islamist wins the elections?

“AND ABOUT THE CENSORSHIP AT ISLAMIC BOOK FAIRS, I THANK YOU, SINCE YOU POINTED IT OUT YOURSELF WHEN YOU WROTE; “Are you aware that certain books authored by some of the most prominent contemporary Islamic scholars were recently banned from a book fair in Kuwait?”.. YES, I AM AWARE, THATS STRENGTHENS MY ARGUEMENT..ASK YOURSELF WHY THEY ARE BANNED..FULL OF CONTRIDICTION, WHICH CONTRADICTS THE THUGS VERSION OF THE ISLAMIC TEACHINGS , WHIC INFRINGE ON OUR LIBERTIES!!”
So in other words, the teachings of Saudi scholar thugs contradicts the teachings of their Kuwaiti counterparts? I’m not sure I’m following. Maybe an example would help elaborate on your “argument.” How do these banned books contradict the teachings of these thugs?

“MAY I SUGGEST THAT U TAKE YOUR VILE, NARROW-MINDED CARCASS TO SAUDI ARABIA, IM SURE THEY WOULD WELCOME YOU THERE WITH OPEN ARMS.”
lol! Where are your manners, o benchmark-for-humanity-setting liberal secularist? How “civilized” of you. It’s pretty funny how your post began with “Dear Monotheist” and ended with this. What a disgruntled little islamophobe.

Dudes, i’ve become insensitive to the dumbass censorship in Q8… it’s just too stupid to waste out time worrying about it.

The new development came with the issuing of another mind-bending fatwa, or religious edict, by the infamous Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice — the group of senior Islamic clergy that reigns supreme on all legal, civil, and governance matters in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The commission’s damning of the letter “X” came in response to a Ministry of Trade query about whether it should grant trademark protection to a Saudi businessman for a new service carrying the English name “Explorer.”

“No! Nein! Nyet!” was the commission’s categorical answer.

Why?

Well, never mind that none of the so-called scholars manning the upper ranks of the religious outfit can speak or read a word of English. But their experts who examined the English word “explorer” were struck by how suspicious that “X” appeared. In a kingdom where Friday preachers routinely refer to Christians as pigs and infidel crusaders, even a twisted cross ranks as an abomination.

So after waiting a year, the Saudi businessman, Amru Mohammad Faisal, got his answer: No. But, like so many other Saudi businessmen who suffer from the travesties of the commission, he seemed more baffled than angry. He wrote letters to Saudi newspapers to criticize the cockamamie logic. An article he wrote appeared with his photograph on some Arabian Web sites. It sarcastically invited the commission to expand its edict to the “plus” sign in mathematics and accounting, in order “to prevent filthy Christian conspiracies from infiltrating our thoughts, our beliefs, and our feelings.”

THIS IS WHAT KIND OF NARROW MINDED THUGS WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. ISLAMO-FASCISM!
