It's one of the answers to them. Boko Haram is a criminal organisation in disguise of Islam. They are not even a radical Salafist group (who at least has an ideal, though I disagree with those in most points), they just kill and rob people. Most victims of them are Muslim.

(III have been too busy the last days because I had to help a friend who was unjustly imprisoned in France. She's free now.) I think you got me wrong. I said that what that person said was blasphemy. I didn't say that I support death penalty, I am clearly against it. I am also against the...

I don't seriously doubt the fact that he existed, but one tablet is not a stronger proof than many writings that mention Jesus. There are also tablets mentioning Babylonian deities, does that prove that they existed? As he has probably been murdered after only about 3 years of public activity...

Salvation from what actually? ( I have an answer but I leave you with the question)

I think I am the one who brought the word blasphemy into discussion. I have read the accusations that have been brought forward against Aikenhead and I fully agree that what he uttered was blasphemy. He lacked respect not only to God, but also towards all prophets he knew and those who trusted...

Hello. I read your intro post, where you express your preference for the accounts attributed to Thomas, Matthew and... Mirjam. The first two are on my shortlist of Gospel accounts. But there are several accounts attributed to a Mary = Mirjam, but none of them made it on my longlist of...

I agree with you that rail is much easier to be run by ai than a car because it's environment is less complex. I would say that driving a car on the motorway is a lesser challenge than driving in a village or even in a city. It's a very complex decision if you see children playing or running...

ai.mini 4.0 answered The **Battle of Watarigawara** was a significant conflict that took place in **1184** during the **Genpei War**, a series of battles between the Taira and Minamoto clans in Japan. This battle is particularly notable for its strategic implications and the role it played in...

That's my point, actually.

Do you think to have enough evidence that Hammurabi existed? Gaius Iulius Cesar? Maimonides? Martin Luther? Albert Einstein? Do you have a proof that I exist? What's your criterion?

The assumption that anything that IS must have a prior cause is not proven. Purement logically, there's no logical proof that the assumption is wrong but it is logically evident that under the axiom that the assumption is universally true, there cannot be a final reason of all.

Yes, there's a much greater number of of eye witnesses for Muhammad than for Jesus (peace be on them) and a broad body of traditions inside Islam that cannot have been fabricated as a whole. No, because there's no founder of this religion. The figures of this very old religious tradition have a...

There are no accounts of eye witnesses who didn't follow him and became Christians. There's the 1st Epistle of Peter which the majority of critical scholars grade probably authentic. Peter was an eye witness. There's the Gospel according to John the 1st and 2nd Epistle of John (3John doesn't...

I would rather say, fortunately, because then he has the chance to leave before he fails. Erdoghan would have been a great statesman had he resigned in 2012... Addiction to power is the major vice of many who gained it. Submission to God means for us to serve. Translate to an atheist: work to...

Yes, that's interesting. I also read the Wikipedia on it. The founders were Muslim, and they developed from a sect to a more open society. Promising, but far away...
