1 - When the armies of Joshua carried out god's instructions to kill hundreds or even thousands of women and infants in cold blood were they doing something that was objectively good?

2 - Is infanticide normally objectively bad but it becomes objectively good if it is ordered by god?

3 - If you had been in Joshua's army and you were commanded by your god to kill hundreds of unarmed women and infants in cold blood, one by one using a sword, do you hope you would have the faith to obey god or the courage to defy him?

Number of Muslims protesting London terrorist attack = ZERO. Number of Muslims protesting forced Mosque closure in France = HUNDREDS

by kpop in

so it is now two days after another islamic terrorist attack.

how many muslims are in the streets protesting and condemning this evil?

how many are marching in all the big cities condemning this in mass protests?.

I had a clear memory of an article from the time reporting on the woeful lack of support for the vigil by the local muslim community. In particular it reported on the sympathy for extremism within the Glasgow mosque. If a number of individual muslims did attend then I apologise for making a misleading statement.

The point of the OP in this thread stands. Although those who will actually carry out acts of violence is relatively small those who sympathise is much larger.

Do you know why the central mosque refused to attend?

There is a serious problem with Islamic extremism in Glasgow.

I reported on it here with a link to the article when it happened. Not one single person from the Glasgow mosque turned up. It is possible a few individuals not connected to the mosque did attend .

The Watchtower are Right About Blood...

... but, they fail to take note of one important detail.. i believe that if we are going to have any chance of reasoning with a jw about blood, this is the place we need to begin.. don't try to convince them that it was only a dietary law.

it wasn't, and they will never go along with it.. don't tell them that saving a life is more important than obeying a law, even a seemingly trivial one.

they take pride in obedience.

Fishy - still waiting for an answer to a very simple question. Why are you refusing to answer?

You say that it was forbidden to become unclean and deliberately doing so resulted in death.

If an Israelite shepherd found one of his sheep that had died during the night would he be executed for burying it?

If an animal that you are allowed to eat dies...

1 - Anyone who touches its carcass will be unclean till evening.
2 - Anyone who eats some of its carcass must wash their clothes, and they will be unclean till evening.
3 - Anyone who picks up the carcass must wash their clothes, and they will be unclean till evening.

Torn by a wild animal is also a matter of clean or unclean. An animal torn by wild beasts would be bled so it has no relevance to this topic.

Unclean was not a crime.

Please stop and answer the following question. It is crucial to the topic.

If an Israelite shepherd found one of his sheep that had died during the night would he be executed for burying it?

Yes or no.

According to you Fishy if an Israelite farmer found one of his sheep dead he would be executed for burying it.

Really?

Bury it or eat it. No difference under the law..
