For Michel and the Aristotelian problem part deux!

My dear Michel, like I say, what did we learn from your post? Let me help you again: Nothing.

And most Muslims, and more so among converts, have no clue about what islam is really all about, and they have no clue about what is in the Qur'an, violence and all. So join the crowd.

I do not think you understood what I was saying to you and let me repeat it one more time: Never multiply entities. This means you know nothing about Islam and still have the audacity to multiply entities! This is what the Aristotelian problem is all about, and also this is what the razor of William of Occam is all about.

In other words: do some reading and no there is no such a thing as a moderate Muslim. And yes I do believe that you are muslim and for this I feel sorry for you.

Now let me tell you what Abul Qasim aka Muhammad's response to the Aristotelian problem. The poor guy did not know what hit him so he got some help from Gabriel and Q112 was revealed or so we are told where it says:

"say: Allah he is one, Allah al-samad (I leave this word with out any translation as the meaning of this word is not very clear) he begots none, nor was he begotten. Non is equal to him."

I'm sure you would agree with me that this nothing but circular reasoning but again al-tafkeer al-3aqli wa al-falsafa (logic and reason) were beyond Muhammad and his allah.

Well the Jews wrere not impressed with this answer and they came back and asked him this question:

But how did he (Allah) do it? and which limb did he use?

Muhammad lost his temper or so we are told and Gabriel came to his help and Q39:67 was revealed and it says:

"And they have estimated God falsely for at the resurection He shall grasp the entire earth and the heavens folded in His hand"

But Abul Qasim never tells us which hand is that.

The Jews left unsatisfied but Muhammad in his simple mind and in typical Mulism manners declared victory!

Et voila our dear Michel, this is what Islam and its prophet are all about. No logic!

As for your Latin: I care less if you know Latin or not.
