One need remember that this comes from the same wisdom fountain as the claim that originality of thought is worthless and personal experience equally so. Seeing how all and everything is available on the internet these days.That first line is pretty priceless. As if taking context into account is somehow irrational, as opposed to ignoring it.
So don't argue any further when you're as intellectually over-soared as here. :mrgreen:
That's the problem with this information age, finding something appropriate to one's own agenda can be a bummer. And finding the same from a reputable source can be totally over-powering to some.Are you actually going to quote anything?
Well, okay, seeing the problems outlined above that some suffer, I offer youThe Quran puts an immense weight on treaty. Either a body of non-believers are under treaty with the Muslims, or they are at war. The form of those treaties has varied widely throughout history, and characterize them all as an attempt to subdue is gross oversimplification. Just look at the Treaty of Tripoli for an example of a treaty in which the non-believer was never subdued.
Daaa...................daaaa
the Mahdi's revolt against Anglo-Egyptian influence and decades after the Treaty of Tripoli at that.
Yeah, I know, totally out of context. But then we've just learned that context is nothing.:mrgreen:
