Khaled Abu Toameh is the most knowledgeable and respected journalist in the Middle East.

That's an opinion.

He's a journaliist who reports on the Arab/Islamic world for strictly Western and Israeli publications.

While I'll concede, for argument's sake, that he's knowledgable and a skilled journalist I'd hardlly consider him unbiased or "an authority".

Nice try brother, but this claim is as emptty ass aall yyour others.

You, on the other hand, not so much. Not so much what?

Not a journalist?

Agreed.

Not the most knowledgeable and respected journalist in the Middle East?

Again, not a journaliist so of logical necessity I can't be the most knowledgeable and respected journalist in the Middle East.

Very astute observation on your part all the same...

You are severely uneducated in being utterly ignorant that the Quran and Sunnah of Muhammad are sacred Islamic texts that must be adhered to under Islamic law. And you seem to be completly uneducated in how the "real world" works.

What you're saying, essentially, is that all Christians obey all 10 Commandments all of the time because the Christian texts say they must!

The simple existence of sacrament of recconciation kinda blows this stupid assumption out of the water, doesn't it?

I mean, it's aa pretty clear acknowledgement of the fact that people can not be expected to obey the book all the time in every way just becuase the book says to.

Indeed, the Sunnah in many ways is more important than the Quran. Thus, Mahomet's teachings against Christians are a basic tenet of Islam. And it's a basic tenet of Christianity that you "love your neighbor as yourself".

You could even make the argument thaat this is the second most important tenet of Christianity (after loving God).

But you'd be pretty hard pressed to find all Christians running around loving their nneighbors all the time jusst because a book says so.

Now, even you know. All I really "know" as a ressult off this discussion is that you have a very idealized and very naive view of religious scriptures and their interpetation in actual practice.

It's almost like talking to a five-year-old who's gonna stomp his feet and insist people can fly bbecaause he read it in a comic book.
