When Is A Religion Not a 'Religion'?

[Penelope]

There are certain characteristics that we have come to find in religion....and some that immediately exclude a worldview from that category......


1. “We should by now have become used to the death cult that is thriving at the fringes of the Muslim world. This is the cult of people who are proud to declare, "You love life, but we love death." This is the cult that sent waves of defenseless children to be mowed down on the battlefields of the Iran-Iraq war, that trains kindergartners to become bombs, that fetishizes death, that sends people off joyfully to commit mass murder. Because the death cult is not really about the cause it purports to serve. It's about the sheer pleasure of killing and dying.” Cult of Death

a. It is the blood that informs the act. In the 1971 assassination of Jordan’s prime minister, Wasfi l-Tell, by PLO terrorists. “As he lay there, one of his killers bent over and lapped the blood that poured from his wounds.”
http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/226317/know-thy-enemy/michael-ledeen

b. Leading Muslim clerics often refer to the love of death. Chief Palestinian Authority cleric Mufti Sheikh Ikrimeh Sabri stated, "We tell them, in as much as you love life, the Muslim loves death and martyrdom.”

2. "The Islamic practice of beheading enemies and sinners dates back to the Prophet Muhammad himself. According to Arab historian Ibn Ishaq (d. 768 C.E.), Muhammad ordered the beheadings of at least 600 Jewish Banu Qurayza tribesmen in Medina on suspicion of plotting against him.

Beheading also finds support in the Koran. In one passage, Allah says "I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off" (8:12). In another, Muslims are exhorted to "confront the disbelievers, strike at their necks" (47:4).

In the modern era, the practice of beheading first came to Western attention when Muhammad Ahmad of the Sudan declared himself Mahdi in 1880 and waged a jihad against Ottoman Egyptian and British forces. Ahmad's followers routinely beheaded their opponents, most famously British Gen. Charles Gordon.

The modern video beheading phenomenon began in 2002 when 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM) decapitated Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl. KSM was captured shortly afterwards, but al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi took the idea and ran with it in a series of grisly videos showing the beheading of Western civilian contractors and others in Iraq. Zarqawi followed the parameters of the genre established by KSM: prayers, insults, recitation from the Koran, beheading, posing with the head. As a final insult, the ceremony ends when the severed head is set upon the back of the dismembered corpse.

Beheading videos disappeared for a while but resumed in 2014 with the rise of ISIS. The prime actor in this third wave of video terrorism was English-speaking ISIS operative Mohammed Emwazi, dubbed "Jihadi John" by the British press....

...certain characteristics that immediately exclude a worldview from the category of 'religion'......

when it is Global Warming? Damn I thought this was a trick question.

MIT professor: global warming is a ‘religion’. Throughout history, governments have twisted science to suit a political agenda. Global warming is no different, according to Dr. Richard Lindzen of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Reference: dailycaller.com/2013/08/29/mit-professor-global-warming-is-a-religion

Better not bash those who believe in Global Warming or else they will burn the inner cities, causing great amounts of CO2, that will.....

When one does not believe in global warming, they are merely brainwashed by the RWNJ's.

Dude - It's now "Politically Incorrect" to use the term GLOBAL WARMING the correct newspeak is climate change

Speaking of children M. Albright said when 1/2 million children died in Iraq due to sanctions, if it was worth it , when asked by Leslie Stahl, She said yes.

We have drones that just kill people , we drop bombs that kill anyone around, we sanction to weaken a nation first , then go in for the kill.

Don't be thinking we are any better.

1/2 million children dies every 2 years in the United States on the abortion table, why do you like foreign children but not US children?

Children? They are viable on their own?

The first execution by guillotine was performed on 25 April 1792 in France. What it replaced was truly horrendous.

What does that have to do with this?

I would think it is obvious. First, your source was completely wrong since the West was beheading well before 1880. Secondly the anecdote is being used to illustrate the cruelty of beheading when in fact, France introduced the guillotine as a more civilized form of execution.

What a fabrication.....not a part of Judaism nor Christianity.

A note for you:
Ephesians 4:25 So stop telling lies. Let us tell our neighbors the truth

Yes Christians used the guillotine all the time, and jews stoned. You might want to read the punishment for the 10 commandments, stoning was used.

But France is a Christian country! Nice to see you understand the difference between what a religion says and what is done by practitioners of that religion. You should apply that understanding to every religion, not just those you like.

A religion is not a religion when evangelical "christians" vote overwhelmingly for the most immoral candidate for the presidency in decades and practice "prosperity" gospel. These people are immensely dumb or immensely stupid. Likely both. Voting out the morons who support this bullshit and are trying to bring it into politics should be priority #1 for patriots everywhere; this country was not founded on religion and putting religion into government goes against everything our founding fathers fought for.

Sure lets talk about 500 years ago, while Moooslims today are STILL beading, burning, female genital mutilations, throwing gays off roofs. Yep to a liberal , 500 years ago is the same as it is today. Which is why insane asylums should be reopened and liberal put where they cant hurt themselves or others..

Are you aware beheadings is carried out in Saudi Arabia. You know our allies.

And that has what to do with the OP?

Beheading also finds support in the Koran. In one passage, Allah says "I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off" (8:12). In another, Muslims are exhorted to "confront the disbelievers, strike at their necks" (47:4).

Are you dense or what. Beheading was carried out forever, and before that stoning. Have you never heard of the guillotine?

You know , being such a good Christian you should know that Jesus said to dismember yourself if it causes you to sin:

Matthew 5:29-30New American Bible (Revised Edition) (NABRE)

29 If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one of your members than to have your whole body thrown into Gehenna. 30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one of your members than to have your whole body go into Gehenna.

I would think many Christian men would castrate themselves.

It is only the non-religion, called Islam, that has carried 7th century barbarism into the modern world.

You agree, don't you?

Yes, 500 years ago is the same as it is today since the Koran is the same today as it was 500 years ago. If the book didn't change in that time the only differences must be due to changes in those who practice it. Same is true for Christianity since the NT hasn't gotten more kind an gentle.
