Hamad, You're a Corker!

Hamas adobted their own militant version of Islam which is influenced by their political reality, the conflict with Israel, and the oppression of the Palestinians.

Yes, "their own version of militant islam"! So, how many other versions of militant islam are there? And what are you, as a supposed muslim, doing about it? Because if you're not doing anything about it, don't b*tch when we in the West finally, and at long last, do something about it. Because you won't like what we do, as if you ever like what we do.

They live a life that they hate so much that they are eager to blow themselves to kill any Israeli, and hoping that this will move them to a better life in paradise.

The only people oppressing the 'poor' Palestinians are the Palestinians themselves, as they never miss an oppotunity to miss an opportunity. What self-respecting group would continue to want to be called 'refugees' 60 years on, relying on international handouts all the while spitting on those who give them said handouts? If jihad wasn't a career choice, the Palestinians might have created a working, stable society by now. But they are incapable of doing that as "it's the koran, stupid."

Suicide is one of the greater sins of Islam, so is killing children,

Yet this sort of thing happens in Islamia all the time. The suicided children are hailed as 'martyrs' and 'heroes', people to be emulated (for example, 'The Magnificent 19'). Saddam even paid blood money to Palestinean families of suicide murders to the tune of $25 grand a pop. Jihad: A way to make money and see the world (for a short time)!

so they might be surprised in the afterlife.

One would hope so, if an afterlife even exists. Big IF, though.

If Hamas converts a couple of journalists by the sword, let them.

Lovely bit of moral equivocating there, Hamad, but totally expected.

As soon as they are free the hostages will revert to their old religions.

And be subject to the death penalty for their tergiversation. Once in the cult of islam, like being in the Mafia, there's no getting out except feet first.

Islam did spread by the sword in some cases, but that is not the general rule.

Riiiight. And dhimmitude is a figment of my imagination.

The idea that this is plausible comes from the work of scholars like Ibn Hanbal who divided the world into 2 parts. The part of peace (Muslim lands) and the part of war (any non Muslim country).

Which is why islam is an intractable enemy of the West. The fact that islamia is considered the land of peace is truly bizarre, and totally divorced from reality, historical or present day.

Most of the negative traditions that you have about Mohammad comes from Hadith, a collection of narratives and stories much like the bible.

Sure, the koran is full of stories just like the Bible, except for those 10 Commandments thingies. So if the koran is full of just 'stories', why are those 'stories' followed, and acted upon, by muslims with such murderous relish today?

Fortunately, Islam is preserved by the Quran which is common to all Muslims and can't be tampered with.

Yet. But just wait. You muslims keep on doing what you are doing and that koran/murder book of yours will be tampered with by us right down the memory hole -- for good. And the sooner that happens, the better for the rest of the world. Remember: There are no muslims on Star Trek. But there were Jews on Babylon 5. Oh, sorry, more humiliation. Let the whining and seething and rioting commence!
