Post by TheGoodSamaritan »

Can I describe a picture I am going to draw for the next Everybody Draw Muhammad day?
It's very, very offensive btw towards abrahamic religions.

What do you guys think about depictions of Muhammed?

Now why would any follower of the Islamic faith take offense at their prophet being called a carnal seducer. Their proofs of their faith called modest wisdom, doctrines of the greatest falsity, a fabrication and a shrewd perversion. And Muslims themselves called foolish and pagan. ???

All on the say-so of a thirteenth century enemy of Islam.
Nope.

You need to look no further then Islam itself-hadith, Quran and even seculatr history of the actions Mohammad.

"He (Mohammed) seduced the people by promises of carnal pleasure to which the concupiscence of the flesh urges us. His teaching also contained precepts that were in conformity with his promises, and he gave free rein to carnal pleasure. In all this, as is not unexpected; he was obeyed by carnal men. As for proofs of the truth of his doctrine, he brought forward only such as could be grasped by the natural ability of anyone with a very modest wisdom. Indeed, the truths that he taught he mingled with many fables and with doctrines of the greatest falsity.

He did not bring forth any signs produced in a supernatural way, which alone fittingly gives witness to divine inspiration; for a visible action that can be only divine reveals an invisibly inspired teacher of truth. On the Contrary, Mohammed said that he was sent in the power of his arms - which are signs not lacking even to robbers and tyrants. What is more, no wise men, men trained in things divine and human, believed in him from the beginning (1). Those who believed in him were brutal men and desert wanderers, utterly ignorant of all divine teaching, through whose numbers Mohammed forced others to become his follower's by the violence of his arms. Nor do divine pronouncements on part of preceding prophets offer him any witness. On the contrary, he perverts almost all the testimony of the Old and the New Testaments by making them into a fabrication of his own, as can be seen by anyone who examines his law. It was, therefore, a shrewd decision on his part to forbid his followers to read the Old and New Testaments, lest these books convict him of falsity. It is thus clear that those who place faith in his words believe foolishly"


And those disgusting remarks come from a man that worships another man. (Christianity) :lol:



Thank god im muslim.
Actually Murad, as a Muslim, you do worship a man (or at the very least his demented totalitarian-like theocratic ideals), even though you will likely deny this forever.

He is called Muhammad.

There is no Allah - he was just a sad figment of Muhammad's deluded mind, which he used like, countless other cult leaders throughout history, to satisfy his lecherous needs as well as his greed and lust for power by inspiring others to commit violence on his behalf.

Muhammad proclaimed himself a great example for mankind, but anyone can see that he was a manipulative, self-serving desert pirate, a slave trader who tortured and assassinated innumerable people like a coward, and didn't even blink when his men (already married) had sex with their female slave prisoners ("war booty"). He dominated through fear and empty promises back then as his ideals dominate Muslim minds through fear and empty promises today.

When you see hordes of Muslims get so worked up over cartoons of a man that they would support the murder of innocents, you know they've taken personality worship to the next level.

Please watch your tone here. Debaters are expected to be polite. This would mean, among other things, not telling another debater what he/she believes.
We must continually ask ourselves whether victory has become more central to our goals than truth.

The next level, being a political supra-national organization.

Mahomet is irrelevant in fact, as he is dead. What counts is the propagation of the political cult that he founded, which would disintegrate if Mahomet was allowed to be constantly vilified.
