The offense of Christianity against transcendence was even greater. Islam charged Christianity with extending the nontranscendent concept to God’s “fatherhood of the Jewish kings” to Jesus and giving it, besides its moral signification of compliance with God’s commandments, the de-transcendentalizing ontological connotation of unity of substance between God and Jesus. Indeed, Christian catholicity defined itself with terms of this “substantial” identity of Jesus with God, as distinct from plurality of their “personalities,” characters and consciousness. Obviously, the source of this new departure from transcendence of the divine being within the Semitic stream was not the Jewish inheritance of Christianity. This had given Christianity the concepts, not their connotation. Neither was gnosticism the source of that departure, whose argument “If he suffer, he was not God; if he was God, he did not suffer” was hurled against their fellow Christians in defence of transcendence. The source must be the non-Semitic influence of the “mystery religions.” It was from this source that Christianity derived its “suffering God” who saves by dying and returning to life and whose mana (grace) is imparted to the communicant thought sacrament.
What did Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan really say to Israeli President Shimon Peres at Davos? The English translation provided was sanitised to such a degree that the end result became less harsh than the intended criticism which Mr. Erdogan dished out to the terrorist Peres. Here is the running translation of the Davos incident, translated by Asdren Zajmi:
Mr. Peres, you are older than me, yet your [tone of] voice is so loud. The reason why your voice is such is because of a sinner’s psychological disorder. My voice will not be as loud as yours. So keep that in mind.
When it comes to killing, you know very well how to work this out. I know very well how you killed the children playing on the beach. I know two important statements [coming] from two of your Prime Ministers. Your Prime Ministers have said, “When I enter Palestine with tanks, I feel a great happiness inside”. Whereas you can only give me numbers [for the Palestinians killed until now], I can give you the names of those Prime Ministers…maybe some of you are curious to know. I also denounce and criticize those that applaud this injustice because applauding those who kill children and innocent people, I think, is inhuman. It is also a humanitarian crisis, we cannot leave the truth aside.
I took a lot of notes [from Peres' talk] but I am not about to respond to all of them now. I just want to say a few things: firstly, in the Sixth Commandments of the Tawrat, it is said that “You shall not kill” but we can clearly see that Israel has done mass killings [of civillians]. Secondly, it is very interesting [to note] that Jewish writer Gilad Atzmon has said “Israeli barbarianism is beyond cruelty”. Also, we have the professor of International Relations at Oxford University, Avi Shlaim — who had been an Israeli soldier — saying in The Guardian newspaper that “Israel is a nation of burglars”.
From this point onwards, Davos is over for me and I will not come to Davos anymore because you did not let me speak freely. He [Peres] spoke for 25 minutes whereas you only let me speak for 12 minutes…this is unacceptable.
Ayaan Hirsi Ali, author of that equally hillarious “biography” she titled Infidel sure can be funny sometimes. Look at this:
The concept of God in Jewish orthodoxy is one where you’re having constant quarrels with God. Where I come from, in Islam, the only concept of God is you submit to Him and you obey His commands, no quarreling allowed. Quarreling or even asking questions means you raise yourself to the same level as Him, and in Islam that’s the worst sin you can commit. Jews should be proselytizing about a God that you can quarrel with. Catholics should be proselytizing about a God who is love, who represents a hereafter where there’s no hell, who wants you to lead a life where you can confess your sins and feel much better afterwards. Those are lovely concepts of God. They can’t compare to the fire-breathing Allah who inspires jihadism and totalitarianism.
Amazing logic there, infidel. I am sure that whenever me or my family members say Bismi Allahi ar-Rahman ar-Raheem, we do not mean “In the name of Allah, Most Gracious and Most Merciful” but we are really saying: “In the name of Allah, the Most Bad-Ass, the Greatest Kicker”.
“In their hearts there is a disease; and God has increased their disease: and grievous is the penalty they (incur), because they are false (to themselves)” (Qur’an 2:10).
Sometimes I wonder at the idiocy of some people who try to poke their nose into issues which do not concern them. Now they are dragging Noorullah Online into their mud-slinging contest. But since they were begging for it, I have decided to issue a “reply” to their nonsense:
When presented with multimedia evidence documenting their crimes, one particular commenter emitted a strong reaction to the idea that they worship “a half-naked Jew”. Of course I admit however that the description was inaccurate; I should have said “a bloodied, half-naked Jew executed as a Roman criminal swinging from a cross”.
I believe this state of denial is referred to as cognitive dissonance in medical psychology. While on one hand, they will accuse you of being a liar and manipulative in describing their demi-god, on the other hand the description of what they worship is certainly goddamned true. Ever watched Mel Gibson’s “The Passion of Christ” lately? See how they depicted the person they claim to “revere”, in no uncertain terms.
