Ouch!
Appalling choice of phrase.
I don't distrust Sadiq Khan. Maajid Nawaz has respect for him which is not a bad recommendation.
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?.
... 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.

Lev 17:15 shows a distinction between the blood of a slaughtered animal ( for food)and one found dead. - Fishy
Yes exactly.
Why?
It was not permission for Israel to go around eating dead animals with impunity
I would not call being asked to take a nice bath and put on clean clothes any sort of penalty.
Absolutely no punishment at all for eating an unbled animal found already dead. That is the definition of impunity.
But you still have refused to answer my question....
Why is there a difference if as you assert, the blood of an animal that dies of itself is just as sacred as one that has been killed?
I will keep asking you that underlined question until you answer it.

Verse 15 says that anybody who eats an animal that dies of itself will be unclean until the evening. - Cofty
It does not say anybody. - Fishy
All persons, citizens or aliens, who eat what dies of itself or what has been torn by wild animals, shall wash their clothes, and bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the evening; then they shall be clean. - Leviticus 17:15
Has it now got to the stage that you need to resort to bare-faced lies? By definition the phrase citizens or aliens covers absolutely everybody and anybody.

Lev. 17 speaks about restoration not about permission - Fishy
Verses 13 & 14 state very clearly that anybody who hunts an animal for food and does not bleed it will be cut off. I presume you understand that to mean capital punishment. There is no provision for "restoration".
Verse 15 says that anybody who eats an animal that dies of itself will be unclean until the evening. Nobody gets stoned to death. The only requirement is to have bath and change clothes.

Ex 22:31 You should prove yourselves holy people to me, and you must not eat the flesh of anything in the field that has been torn by a wild animal....
I have explained Ex.22 many times. It is about an animal torn by a wild animal.
It is very dishonest of you to continue to use this verse to support your case.
