Your box isn't tuned to the channel that you want to see.

Look for "FOX News".

quote Originally posted by Marvin McInnis: I stand by what I said, too. If the new Cosmos were anti-Christian ... which it's not ... it would be similarly anti-Islamic.

I can see why you would think that, but it is a bit more complex then that. Christianity, Jewdeism, and islam all have roots in the Old testamant. But the Jews are looking for the Savior, the Christians follow the teachings of the Savior Jesus Christ and the muslams dont even expect a savior, they follow the teachings of what they call the major prophet mohomid. mohomid came hudreds of years after Christ and the muslums dont believe Jesus is the Savior. muslums follow the teachings of muhomid in the quoran and hadiths. They only pay lip service to he Old testament. That is why you can talk trash about ANY of the 66 books of the Bible and the "extremists" dont realy care, talk trash about any of the other prophets and they wont care, BUT talk about mumomid and they go nuts. islam is about mohomid NOT the Old Testament OR Creation.
So my comment stands, why dont anti islam (mohomid) shows get on TV?

Interpreting your very own words, it seems that you are speaking not to Islam itself, but rather to Islamic extremists. Big difference. I don't think that there has been any serious lack of TV content that is critical (in a very negative way) of violent or intolerant Muslims. And that (to my mind) is the very definition of "Islamic extremist".

There is a verse in the Qur'an that says (in so many words) that when a Muslim confronts a non-believer, the Muslim should produce an argument for Allah and the Muslim way that is superior to any argument from the non-believer. I don't have time now, but I will find and post this verse later. But the verse enjoins the faithful Muslim to use argument in the service of Islam, not violence or coercion.

I think that you are constructing an elaborately constructed house of cards with your idea about the media having a double standard about Christianity (or other religions), VS Islam. A house of cards that is patently collapsing into a random shuffle of cards, blown away by even the gentlest of logical and factual air currents. That is my drift. (Air currents, drifting air molecules.. bad pun intended.)

QED.

That verse I was talking about (post just before this one), I found it. It's Qur'an 16:125. This is one of the translations:

quote Invite (mankind, O Muhammad SAW) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Quran) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.

Ol' Muhammad with his chain SAW.. well, no. "SAW" means something else.

Another way to say this would be "The Qur'an instructs Muslims to argue in a persuasive way with non-believers, but not to hack off their heads at the neck, or blow them up with car bombs or ass-bombs, or... whatever." You get the idea.

There are other translations of this verse on the same web page:
http://corpus.quran.com/tra...chapter=16&verse=125

And to recapituate (especially for the forum's maryjane), I had some idea of satire in mind when I made that strangely worded earlier post. I was not trying to impress anyone with my "command" of the English language. I have no need for that.
