Wow, you have everything to the point there, and to your question ‘a religion that fulfills all those imaginings’ the answer is simple: Taliban.

Yes all those ‘imaginings’ are within the Taliban, a group the mainstream Muslims disassociate themselves with world over. These ‘imaginings’ have nothing to do with Islam or it’s followers, or even it’s srciptures.

It’s all about the Taliban and the Western Media’s excuse of generalising these ‘imaginings’ with Islam is a whole.

I must say that you are totally into the Western Media or have been personally effected by the Taliban.

Either way, do more reading.

Thank you for taking the time to write your very thoughtful and entertaining challenge.

I think I’m beginning to figure out the group you are talking about, but I may need a few more clues . . . .

May I have permission to use that post of yours?

It nails it down perfectly!

Marxism is religious built on hate and theft, so is Islam. The switch was easy for George as the only thing he had to change was the name of the book he was quoting.

10. jak: Is your buddy the poster known here as “vivo”?

Really difficult to get the facts without someone telling you what to think these days, and when they tell you what to think, they try to break it all into some outrageous boolean argument. It’s all black an white, and suitable for my low IQ to comprehend. Oh, and there always has to be a babe in there somewhere.

A lot of faithful who carry SAG membership cards?

And fly their own Lear Jets?

Am I getting warmer?

Imagine a society which places no value on scientific or technical investigation, but only on the rote memorization of the sacred writings of its faith. That society places so much value on that rote scriptural memorization that there is a title used throughout the lands for any man who can demonstrate that rote learning, and that honorific will bring more respect and privilege to those who claim it than any academic degree, or technical or medical certification.

Imagine that the society all agree that female children will not be allowed education, nor to show their faces in public, nor to wear cosmetics, nor to be seen in the company of any male outside their immediate family, and that punishment for defiance of these restrictions may be whipping, poisoning, beating, caning, stoning, hanging, bombing, machine-gunning or beheading, at the discretion of the males of the female’s household. Or ANY male of the culture who feels a female has strayed from approved behavior.

Imagine that since no learning is valued other than rote learning of sacred texts more than a thousand years old, and since females are punished for any learning at all, there are very few people who have skills beyond those necessary for subsistence.

Imagine that this society accepts the dictate of its sacred writings that anyone who disavows the faith is subject to execution, to be carried out by any faithful member of the society, and that no person of faith who performs such an execution is subject to any penalty, but rather honor and reward. Ditto for any one who is accused of insulting the faith, its founder, or its sacred text.

Imagine a society which adheres to a faith which dictates to its followers that any who do not accept the faith may be enslaved, murdered, beaten, cheated, lied to, and otherwise abused so long as they refuse to submit and convert; that its faith is the only faith, and any other religion is false, blasphemous, and evil, and not to be tolerated, but attacked ruthlessly until its followers convert, submit to domination and tributary tax, or die.

Imagine that this society allows each man four wives, and dictates that those wives are his to order and punish, even to the point of death.

Imagine that because of all these factors, most of this culture’s young men have no skills that will earn them enough income to support one wife, much less four wives. As a result, enormous numbers of young men are idle and overflowing with unchannelled creative energies. Imagine a powder keg looking for a match.

Imagine a faith which promises those young men that if they die while slaughtering the opponents of the faith, or even while merely TRYING to slaughter unbelievers, they will be transported instantaneously to heaven, to be greeted by 42 eager and willing female virgins, ready to provide endless sexual delight to the freshly deceased martyr.

Imagine that while this culture and its faith also profess to honor the concepts of tolerance, patience, mercy, and generosity, that those are specifically ordered for others of the faith, and may be disregarded for unbelievers.

Imagine that even though many of this society and faith actually do behave with civility, courtesy, tolerance, and mercy, to their unbelieving neighbors, that a significant and militant plurality of the culture consistently behave savagely to both their coreligionists and all unbelievers.

Now, think hard, dear readers.

See if you can put a name to a religion that fulfills all those imaginings.

I don’t think the hollowness and absurdity of Galloway’s assinine content matters the slightest to this constituency – all that matters is that their pit bull George approximately hits the proper hot buttons, and is perceived to be fighting on their behalf. After all, we’re talking about the benumbed acolytes of the the mind shackles of Islam, here… Them, and their malignant Leftist abettors, both of whom yearn to see the West destroyed. I’m sure those constituencies would rate his performance with an A+. This is merely a measure of their unreasonable unappeasable hatred.
