I salute your patience.

The thing is, Israel's behaviour is not new. The populations in the Arab countries already had that sentiment for more than a decade (cf. Osama bin Laden's letter to Americans). Now awareness is reaching the people in Western countries.

Sanctions when?

You are right, and wrong at the same time.

Depends on who you are talking about and who you are talking to.

He says that Israel's right to self-defence is unquestionable yet calls the other side terrorists. He does not sound very neutral...

This is why Pixel phone regular updates are a big deal, and a reason to run a regularly updated third party ROM like LineageOS.

This is the very reason why I use LineageOS (as well as getting rid of bloatware).

Science is based on the principle of the inference to the most plausible. When you have multiple theories explaining a phenomenon, the one which makes the most sense with regards to the gathered data is deemed THE explanation. That is, until another theory comes with more compelling data and evidences.

Example: the "static universe" cosmological model

Science is basically our best understanding of the world. Doesn't mean it's 100% true, but it's how far we got.

Calling it magic is no different than people in ancient times ascribing what they didn't know or understand to magic.

Just give it an unbiased read, you might be surprised :)

With all due respect, have you read the Qur'an? How can you judge something without actually looking into it?

I won't hold this against you because you are saying it out of ignorance, but just know that Islam is the fastest growing religion in the US and in Europe, the average age of reverts is 27, the most reverts are postgraduates who spent in average 7 years studying the religion.

We do not have the same paradigm, that's for sure. That's why we need to learn about each other's views.

Islam's is: God created mankind and put it on earth for a propose. He gave us this life which is a test with do's and don'ts. And depending on whether we follow the rules or not there is eternal bliss or eternal punishment.

Why am I or others positing this? Because God sent throughout our existence messengers to remind us of our purpose.

Why should we trust these so called messengers? They were granted miracles, ie. things others cannot perform like splitting the sea, reviving the dead, splitting the moon etc.

He also gave these messengers scripture with the laws to abide by. Where are these scriptures? Most of them were lost (Abraham's tablet, David's psalms...) or demonstrably corrupted by people (the old and the new testaments). The last scripture revealed is the Qur'an which is demonstrably preserved for everyone to read.

Read it and read about Muhammad's life and you'll understand what so called "Islam" ("peace through submission" in Arabic) is.
