Debating or Baiting? Threats or Discussion?
In reply to a thread I posted recently, three people in particular posted replies which were designed to provoke a strong reaction from me rather than entering into any sensible discussion on the subject.
These people were obviously not interested in 'debating' the subject but rather were only interested in engaging me in a game of 'baiting'.
Here are some of their posts and some of my responses, decide for yourselves on the intent behind them.
"hashin said overlook ...
yup its part of the islamic belief that it cannot be ridiculed... we take our faith seriously... question it and you shall get an answer, ridicule it and you are asking for trouble"

"Overlook said hashin ...
If you read my post carefully you will not find the word 'ridicule' in it.
I am not ridiculing anybody, I'm talking about reasoned, logical and fair questions, nothing else."

"adey said hashin - what happens when ...
hashin - what happens when the logic of the muslim trying to answer one's questions becomes ridiculous? One points out to them that they are being ridiculous and by manifesting the whole concept - holding a mirror to their face.I think IMHO you should change you wording to insulting not ridicule.
If you ridicule my beliefs that does not entitle me to feel that you are asking for it or act upon that -
"you are asking for trouble" is very threatening and leaves one in mind that their physical safety is in jeopardy - THAT is the problem, very medieval thinking."

I can sense the jury is likely to vote in favour of PM... unless we have 'overlooked' something... Overlook, what evidence do you have to submit in your defence?"

"Overlook said hashin, how did you get ...
hashin, how did you get involved in this?
Does it involve you in some way?
What does this have to do with you?
Are you the one man jury?
What do you have to say in your defence?"

You just can't help yourself!
Never mind!
Apology should be from one who had used the abusive words against me first and was mocking. I dont care what you think, but keep your thinking inside you if you are trying to mock then expect a response that tells to hold on please.
Follow your manners. HEERO and Platao have not started any religious threads , they seemed mentally agitated and seem disturebed. Sorry to say that they are not religious threads but the childish reaction when they were taught some manners.
...that what we're usually posting anything around here thinks we're always questioning Islam.

However I noticed a poster on this thread (so far I think he was the last poster but not sure) has the same problem with another person recently in that he just completely mis-interpreted what a woman had said, blasted her for it then failed to apologise when it was all plain to see that see never mentioned what he said.
I also noticed that the same poster in this thread had posted several times in the other thread, brought religion into this thread which often causes huge arguments, when there wasn't any mention of religion in this thread in the first place.
If you wish to discuss religion feel free to start your own thread about it, just like Heero and Platao do.
Isn't it so much easier if people didn't speak in riddles and just got to the point
:)
I just cant understand what was the thread all about that people are talking about here and therefore cannot comment, but one thing i clearly saw in some previous posts (from a woman making comments here as well) that she should be careful in choosing her words without offending any religion in a mocking way. These are the basic manners one need to follow, and she was aware what she was doing.
If you want to question Islam then there is a way a do it without making any mocking jestures and if you dont agree with Islam then nothing is forced on somebody to adopt, every one is free in choosing the religion.
how I got dragged into this?
CID were a no show today, but I did talk to lots of 'English as a second language' students who had a keener grasp of english and its MEANING than our friend seems to have.
Plus I duobt anyone of them are likely to be institutionalized, something unfortunatly I fear can not be said.........oh forget it! :D

an executioner is also a person who executes (completes a task).

Let's not "go again", heero. Useless.
LOL
Don't tell me there's also a bad translation of "oppose" in it and read it "kill". LOL
"Everything in this book may be wrong." Illusions: The Adventures of The Reluctant Messiah by Richard Bach
heero, this translation is not authentic. It was done by an enemy of Islam. You must read the Arab original to find the real truth!
Men have authority over women because God has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard unseen parts because God has guarded them. As for those from whom fear disobedience, admonish them, forsake them in beds apart, and beat them. Then if they obey you, take no further action against them. Surely God is high, supreme.
Wow. You're still with me with my 'woman problems' after all...
"Everything in this book may be wrong." Illusions: The Adventures of The Reluctant Messiah by Richard Bach
sorry, heero, 4:34
Can you give me a hint word in this verse? You know you had me opened the Koran and 3:43 is Sunna Al-Imran. Am I right?
Is there a 'Mary' mentioned in that verse?
"Everything in this book may be wrong." Illusions: The Adventures of The Reluctant Messiah by Richard Bach
PM, I will look out for your "Lols" in the future. Forgive me, I'm not yet so much into the "Internet Slang".
I would suggest you use more " :P " or " :D ".
Clearly there are a number of people who don't really know your humour as yet!
:)
Why do you try to suggest things I didn't say, PM?
heero, Qur'an, Sura An-nisa, Verse 3.43!
We never get to hit a lady in this place. It's the...law?
"Everything in this book may be wrong." Illusions: The Adventures of The Reluctant Messiah by Richard Bach
Just an observation from the post. :)
No man will hit a Lady as long as I am around, PM. It's against my conviction!
What do you expect from Qatar? English being the first language?
"Everything in this book may be wrong." Illusions: The Adventures of The Reluctant Messiah by Richard Bach
...not your first language!
Disclaimer: This is just my opinion, I am not baiting nor will I be debating it! However, you are more than welcome to agree or disagree.
:)
I couldn't find a red apple to hide behind...
I got a white dove instead but somehow they still recognized me!!!!
MD, great minds think a like! I'm glad someone got the joke.
I was knocked out of my senses...
Overlook's CID friend was sent after me
I was called a tosspot
I have been banned entry to all European countries
I had to sell my house, yacht and horse
I had to buy an island in Iran and a sea plane in its place
and I had to be on the same side as... PM!... no less!
What more does overlook want from me?
PM, Antarctica is a good place. Both of you are invited. The general temperature will also cool down both of you significantly.
These comments have been collected from more than one thread and this conflicts with overlook's reference to a particular thread posted by him
This fact may seem trivial to some, but proves the lack of integrity of the individual in Question... overlook...
mass-debate and masturbate are the same thing guys.
Come to think of it...you really do got a point in there.
"Everything in this book may be wrong." Illusions: The Adventures of The Reluctant Messiah by Richard Bach
flan, your first post put it on my tongue, but I was afraid to pronounce it. When I type "masturbation" in the Internet I get only Q-Tel's "blocked" message.
Nooooo, flanostu, we did that already! After 396 posts I think we've discussed the subject to death. Khallas, already. Peace, everyone, it's Eid.
Mandi
mass-debate and masturbate are the same thing guys.
...if they ain't gonna use it over there.
They just loved Qatar Living. ;-P
"Everything in this book may be wrong." Illusions: The Adventures of The Reluctant Messiah by Richard Bach
i think you should get everyone together and have a mass-debate.
LOL
"Everything in this book may be wrong." Illusions: The Adventures of The Reluctant Messiah by Richard Bach
Yes, you have, overlook. Your end is near!
