4. I also looked up the word 'islam' and the one reference, of countless references in the world, that i looked at roughly said that the word 'islam', which comes from or is related to 'salam', which means peace.
Firstly you should not insist that is the only meaning attributed to the word 'Islam'.
Surely you could NOT be as blind as you are showing yourself to be here?
I NEVER ever even remotely implied that there was only ONE meaning to any word throughout human beings existence. If you actually read what I wrote I used words like 'one reference', of 'countless references' in regards to the one, and only one, I looked at, which by the way I think you find was the one reference you used also. I even used the words 'roughly said' to make sure that it was completely and utterly obvious that the meaning I was giving what NOT the absolute one and only meaning. So, from three different attempts to show to you that I was NOT insisting any thing and on the contrary showing the obvious different meanings ANY word can have you still missed all of that and jumped to the exact opposite conclusion that i was somehow insisting that the meaning I gave is the only meaning attributed to the word 'islam', which by the way to make this even more humorousness you have previously attributed more or less the exact same meaning anyway.
You will NEVER make a sound and valid argument if you keep changing the meanings you want to use in order to try and fit in with your ever increasing changing views and viewpoints.
To be balanced and very essentially you should have brought in the other more relevant meaning, i.e. 'Islam' in the religious sense means submission or surrender.[/quote]
Just because you used words like 'to be balance' and 'very essentially' to say that I should have done some thing does not make what you are actually doing look very foolish indeed.
The word 'islam' relates to the word 'salam', which MEANS
peace. Now trying to use words like 'in the religious sense' does NOT change the meaning of a word like 'islam'. The word 'islam' relates to the word peace, if it does not literally mean peace. The word that you are looking for that means 'submission' or 'surrender' is 'muslim'. The word 'muslim' refers to submitting, surrendering, or following, peace, or maybe more correctly submitting to, surrendering, or following the alleged words of the One who supposedly wrote the a book.
Surely you can understand this now?
Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Mon Sep 24, 2018 5:34 am5. Your conclusion that "Thus 'muslim' do not literally, means follower of peace" does NOT in any way, shape, nor form, follower on from the premise that 'islam' does not literally mean peace.
Note, etymology can be very loose and in most cases we need to qualify and understand the current contexts of the words and its respective meaning.
Okay. I will let you qualify the 'current' contexts of the words and its respective meaning.
Go ahead.
I will let you show all of us how to understand all of this. You sure seem to think that you KNOW what is right and wrong.
Oh and by the way, the 'current' context, if you are still unaware, can be taken out of complete context of what the original and thus intended meaning and purpose of what was said and/or written down, and then passed on.
So, once again, whatever you think you can QUALIFY is ONLY your INTERPRETATION.
One day you will see and understand this.
Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Mon Sep 24, 2018 5:34 amI am fully aware it is very common for Muslims and their apologists to claim 'Islam = Religion of Peace' but I am expressing my view very strongly that this is misleading and very dangerous as such a view will cover up its inherent evilness.
It is very plain and obvious what your VIEW is. We can all SEE it startling clear as. We can also see how strong your belief is how strongly you want to dearly hold onto it and fight for it.
By the way if 'muslim' means submitting to, surrendering to, and/or following onto peace, or the words of peace, then do you really think they want or even seek out 'apologists'? I do NOT see there is anything to apologize for in regards to being peaceful. But maybe you show some sort of light onto and into this?
Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Mon Sep 24, 2018 5:34 am6. Your next line, however, is written perfectly correct when you wrote "as I have read it". Now this is about the only solitary bit of truth, I see in your writings.
7. The rest of what you wrote, which you got from a copy and paste wikipedia post, infers that the word 'islam' is a derivative from S-L-M and roughly related to 'salam', which generally means peace. Yet you STILL insist that the ideology of islam is inherently evil. Did you notice that all the words you used as a range of meanings are peaceful or tenderly like words. I can NOT see one word in there that even has a slight towards away gentle and loving and towards bad and evil. You insistant perception that islam is bad and evil is bases solely on your assumptions which are based solely on your past experiential upbringing, thus APE gained views.
Note Wiki as progressed to the present is reasonably reliable as it is but obviously still need confirmation from the more reliable resources.
Surely you sit there giggling to yourself when you write stuff like this?
Do you smirk or laugh when you write this, or do you actually say this stuff straight faced?
Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Mon Sep 24, 2018 5:34 amDid you read the following, note;
Islam (Arabic: إسلام, IPA: [alʔɪsˈlaːm] (About this sound listen)) is a verbal noun originating from the triliteral root S-L-M which forms a large class of words mostly relating to concepts of wholeness, submission, safeness, and peace.[44]
Yes and as I have just pointed out ALL of those words relate to gentle, loving, kindness, and wholesome.
WHERE and HOW do you see any evil intent in there?
I have asked you this a few times now and still waiting.
Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Mon Sep 24, 2018 5:34 amIn a religious context it means "voluntary submission to God".[45][46]
Islām is the verbal noun of Form IV of the root, and means "submission" or "surrender".
So what?
If this voluntary submission or voluntary surrender is in regards to this thing called God, which you say is an impossible thing, HOW IN HELL does that even remotely infer anything whatsoever to any thing of evil like.
Ah, maybe you believe that texts which refer to a God/Allah say that God/Allah is an evil thing and/or that It desires human beings to submit or surrender to It because it wants to do evil to those people who are not surrendering/submitting to It. Is this what you are somehow referring to? If not, then what is it that you are actually trying to say and get us to understand?
We have gone through this so many times previously.
In fact I think you will find that it was I who stated that the word 'islam' refers/relates to
peace, and that the word 'muslim' refers/relates to
follower/submitter/surrender.
I thought we had agreed to and accepted this a fairly long time ago.
What I want to KNOW is where do you see any evil intent that you allege lies within all of this?
In other words show some evidence. Even one piece of evidence would do.
Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Mon Sep 24, 2018 5:34 amThat Islam is inherent evil is not based on my assumption.
I inferred that conclusion, i.e. Islam is inherently, from evidence within the hundreds and thousands of verse from the Quran itself.
Note I have already given you links as a clue.
You need to read the Quran thoroughly to confirm my claim or prove me wrong with your arguments and evidence.
There is nothing to prove you wrong about because you have only claimed that islam is inherently evil based on the quran.
You have to provide some evidence for YOUR CLAIM. Just telling others to read the quran thoroughly does NOT claim nor disprove any thing.
I have claimed that you are reading with distorted and prejudiced eyes and that is WHY you are seeing, and claiming, what you are now. Remember that you are NO different to any other adult human being. Because of your beliefs and assumptions you will all look at things distortedly.
Also I only now state that the word 'islam' closely relates to the word
peace, and that the word 'muslim' closely relates to the followers, submitters, and surrenders of
peace. If every one was currently like that, then imagine how much better this world would be now?
Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Mon Sep 24, 2018 5:34 am8. A) OBVIOUSLY, the concept of 'peace' is in the positive mode. Is it even possible that 'peace' could even be looked at or seen in a negative mode?
B) OBVIOUSLY, the concept of 'peace', in the quran, is directed only at 'muslims', which are who the followers of peace are. If 'muslims' are the followers of peace, then that in itself defines 'non-muslims' as people not following peace.
Note in the current contexts, the use of the statement 'Islam is a Religion of Peace' as used by Muslim and non-Muslim leaders plus ordinary Muslims and their apologists is in the context of countering the evil and violence committed by Islamic terrorists.
Is that an absolute true fact that the use of the statement 'islam is a religion of peace' is countering the evil and violence committed by islamic terrorists?
I certainly do NOT see you being "fooled" by this attempt as such trickery.
I do NOT even use statements like 'islam is a religion of peace', other than copying others to show the ridiculousness of what is in their writings, i just say things like when we take a look at what the word 'islam' means or once meant or refers to or relates to, et cetera, then we can see that in one way or another that word came from a word like 'salam' which means or once meant or refers to or relates to the english word
peace.
By definition 'islamic terrorist' has nothing at all to do with peace because the word 'terrorist' obviously diminished any word that is regarded as being related to peace or peacefullness.
Have you ever thought about or considered the very fact that a human being who commits a terrorist act, in the so called name of some thing, may in fact not being do anything at all really with any thing at all to do with that thing?
This is like when human beings go out and kill others in the name of 'war against terror' for example, which is supposedly sounding peaceful piece of terminology. Going out and killing completely innocent children in the name of its a 'war against terror' as though it is perfectly all right and understandable are really not doing anything other than committing terrorist acts themselves. Committing terrible and terrifying acts against completely innocent human beings in the name of 'peace' from any "side" is truthfully a terrorist act in and of itself no matter which way you look at it. Obviously killing obviously innocent children in the name of 'war against terror' is in all reality committing a terrorist act NOT in the intended name or 'peace' or 'war AGAINST terror'. The statement 'war against terror' is NOT countering the evil and violence committed by christian soldiers/terrorist.
Just because christian terrorists are committing evil and violent terrorist acts in the so called name of God and peace does NOT actually mean they are actually doing this in the name of peace or of God.
Any person could say they are doing any thing in the name of any thing but not necessarily being do so.
Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Mon Sep 24, 2018 5:34 amThe claim is, the Islamic terrorists are committing evil and violence on non-Muslims & others is not because they following true Islamic doctrines since 'Islam is a religion of peace.'
What about the claim that, the non-muslim terrorists are committing evil and violence on muslim and others is not because they are following true christian doctrines since 'christianity' is a religion of peace? Is there any difference there?
Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Mon Sep 24, 2018 5:34 amThe political leaders insist Islam is peaceful towards non-believers.
The political leaders insist christianity is peaceful towards believers and non-believers. But how many human beings kill, and how many human beings have been killed, in the name of (christian) God?
Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Mon Sep 24, 2018 5:34 amThis is the current context of the term 'peace' in relation of the religion of Islam.
This is the current context of the term 'peace' in relation of the religion of christianity.
Christians commit evil, violent, terrorists acts all the time in the name of 'world peace' and 'God'.
Just listen to all the political leaders who send people, under them, out to kill muslims, and what they are really saying.
But the truth of what they are actually saying is to hard to hear for some people. Their distorted and biased one-eyed views will not allow them to hear and see that actual and real truth of what is actually happening. Some people even submit and surrender themselves to these war mongering "leaders" and commit the most horrible and horrific, terrifying acts on the most innocent human beings who were born into islamic follower families.
If one "side" thinks that it has the right to take revenge on those that have committed terrorist acts against "them", then do you not think that the other "side" thinks that is also has that same right?
Human beings are excellent at being absolutely blinded by the actual obvious and visible truths that stares them in the face every day. The reason you are all so blinded is also just as obvious, when you awaken to it.
Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Mon Sep 24, 2018 5:34 amBut the fact as reflected in the Quran and Islam is the religion is inherently not peaceful to non-believers at all.
Once again, you just saying that does NOT make it fact.
Where is the actual evidence?
Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Mon Sep 24, 2018 5:34 amMuslims as commanded in the Quran cannot be peaceful with non-Muslims.
Where does it state in the quran that muslims cannot be peaceful with non-muslims?
Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Mon Sep 24, 2018 5:34 amThe term 'peace' [salam] that is mentioned in the Quran is only applicable to Muslims.
Obviously 'peace' only applies to those that are peaceful. If people are not peaceful, then obviously peace does not apply to them. To those people violence begets violence.
Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Mon Sep 24, 2018 5:34 amAs I had linked, Muslims cannot even wish 'peace' [As-salāmu ʿalaykum - Peace upon you] to non-Muslims.
Are you absolutely sure of this?
And if you are, then have you ever that about how just wishing some thing on another does not ever really work?
But what most adults know is what does work is by leading by example.
If just wishing peace on angry, aggressive, violent, terrifying human beings worked, then there would not be any of those people around anymore.
Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Mon Sep 24, 2018 5:34 amWhich leads back to my insistence that it is very quick, simple, and easy, to kill those who are not followers of peace without ever hurting, harming, nor obviously killing one single human being.
I agree to the above but I am not sure what you are driving at?
If you are not sure what I am driving at, then WHY would you agree to it.
If, however, when you say, "I agree to the above" maybe it might be better if you actually said what part you actually agree to, and, what part exactly that you are not sure what I am driving at.
Also, I have written in a particular to way to point out to the readers how if when I say and write a truly seemingly absurd looking sentence, then the adult human beings of this day and age have lost any sort of curiosity and questioning that they can not even bring themselves to question what I actually mean. They will just allude to the fact that "they do not know what I am driving at", yet are expecting me to make some sort assumption about what it is that they are talking about.
What is it that you are unsure about that you say I am driving at?
Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Mon Sep 24, 2018 5:34 amMy point is TROP ['The Religion of Peace] is inherently evil as reflected in its pathos within its immutable holy texts.
I KNOW, you have said this countless times already.
I, and others, are just waiting for some sort of evidence for it, from you.
Also, before i let you go I will have to question you in regards to what is 'TROP'?
And, can you see the absolutely contrary nature of saying that 'The Religion of Peace' is 'Inherently Evil'?
Please do not say it is other people who call it a religion of peace when it is obviously you who is saying it and writing it. The evidence is here for us to look at, and see. Also, WHY do you even give words like 'islam', 'muslim' 'religion of peace', 'God/Allah' capital letters when it is so clearly obvious how much you detest them all?
