I was just saying that you do not seem to have any understanding of epistemology. You misunderstand the term "to know". Remembering trivia from skimmi...
You have a very poor epistemic understanding of what the term "knowledge" means. That is the source of your confusion. The underlying reason for that ...
No, just like a doctor, an alim is not necessarily an "I'm better" aristocrat. The job of a doctor is typically to figure out from your flailing story...
You have not duly trained as an alim and therefore you are not a member of the ulema. You have no credibility whatsoever in the field of interpreting ...
The Shia position on the matter is currently much more accepting of transgenderism than the Sunni one, where there is currently no clear "ijma" (conse...
You know absolutely nothing about the Islamic scriptures. You think you know, but you don't. Welcome to the Dunning-Kruger effect running loose again:...
I talk about religious law. Religion has other areas than just its law, for example, the origin of religious law. Religious law is a formal system of ...
That is not how it works either. I base my argument in religious law solely on statements that syntactically entail from scripture (Quran+Sunnah). The...
Most generally, merely "a source outside the system itself". Once you say "transcendental", you are already outside the system itself. What does "tran...
I don't really do denominations. I am probably ghair-madhhabi. It is also beyond me why Ali would be the "friend" of Allah, as the Shia profess. I wou...
That was not a quote. Where do you see quotation marks? No, no, no. As far as I am concerned, "who" exactly says something, does not matter, simply be...
There is no Pope in Islam. A mufti's advisory only binds himself. What's more, I am quite sure that his views are not the consensus ("ijma") view on t...
No, no. It was carried out by Nazis. This cleric does not seem to be familiar with the details of the Holocaust. The Nazis also mass-murdered Jewish w...
Was Nazism then rather a Chinese ideology? First of all, everything that happens in the universe is deemed to be Allah's will. Allah is considered to ...
Well no, that was a Nazi idea. That was not an idea that came from the Middle East. You are again trying to shift the blame for the Holocaust to other...
After a long series of "reforms", and especially after the Young Turks had taken over power, the Ottoman empire had become a nationalist, secular stat...
My opinion on him is mixed. I agree with his anti-Zionist efforts but I do not agree with his Faustian pact with the Nazis. But then again, it is not ...
In that case, do not address your own garbage to me. Capito? Furthermore, who the hell do you think you are that you can give orders to other users on...
For a starters, an alim acting in the capacity of mufti is supposed to produce religious advisories that are syntactic entailments from scripture. Non...
You are saying that the Jews "might actually have been safer" with people whom you portray as being full of "hatred of Jews". If that view is not cont...
Why? Possibly, because God says ... who knows? Other justifications are not readily available for this otherwise widely-accepted speculative claim. (Y...
In the meanwhile, we also came to understand that the basic rules in a formal system of rules cannot be justified from within the system. Any attempt ...
Your opinion is not even necessarily shared by other Jews. If they expected to be mishandled by the Muslims, why did the Sephardi Jews flee to the Mus...
It is perfectly relevant to the uncanny similarity between Zionism and Nazism. They are both undeniably racist. It is not part of Islamic doctrine. Yo...
If there is one thing that the Zionist apartheidsstate of Israel fundamentally shares with Nazism, it is their well-attested racism. Seriously, how ma...
You very well know that any elusive connection between Islam and Nazism is much more of a stretch than between Zionism and Nazism. Zionism and Nazism ...
Bi-interpretability looks like an interesting subject, but unfortunately the Wikipedia page does not elaborate PA versus ZF-infinity as an example. We...
I am not interested in figuring everything that you are not, because I do not consider you personally to be a sufficiently interesting subject for tha...
In an earlier period, there was not particularly much of a political mutual understanding, because Nazi Germany was expelling Jews out of Germany who ...
The Mufti of Jerusalem was obviously trying to create alliances left and right with a view on preventing the creation of the apartheidsstate of Israel...
Ok, I see what Hitler apparently said about Islam and how he tried to endear himself with the Muslim community. Fine, I get that. Concerning what the ...
So, according to you the inspiration for Mein Kampf was the Quran? Or something like that? Islam is a book. All information about Nazism is also a boo...
These clerics are not as close as you or me to what happened in the 1930ies and 1940ies in German-occupied Europe. They would never advocate things li...
Not vastly. Some Muslims may conclude things too quickly on grounds of short-sighted political considerations, but anybody who understands what he rea...
Well, there are so many people, including our dear friend Leonard Euler, who thought that Voltaire was a piece of shit that there is no need to furthe...
That is just a typical western ethnocentric view on philosophy. If you ask a Chinese, an Arab, or an African about Schopenhauer, they will all say tha...
I would like to discuss this because it is absolutely not self-evident to me that two sets of different rules, i.e. PA versus ZF minus infinity, would...
Imagine that we design a horror moral system with the following basic rules: rule 1: You must kill everybody else rule 2: Since everybody else will al...
God's nature is not part of religious law, which is limited to the morality of human behaviour only. Rabbinic (Jewish) law is also pretty much a forma...
Ha ha ha! Exploiting a government subsidy system is not considered to be a form of theft by lots of people while breaking into your neighbour's house ...
That question is relevant to religion but not to religious law. Religious law is a formal system of rules. In that sense, it just behaves as any forma...
You ask 178432 different questions and then you still expect just one answer. So, no, I just pick one question of your 178432 questions, and I only de...
Wow. That is very interesting! The proof based on Von Neumann ordinals is also straightforward. In that definition, (some interpretation of) \mathbb{N...
Yeah, that is obvious. The problem is full of contradictions, and you clearly have no solution for that. I was just pointing out how silly the simplis...
Under particular, explicitly stated conditions it is acceptable in Islam. In fact, it was reasonably acceptable in western society too, until they cha...
Isn't it obvious that I created my own school for the year? Currently, they are at a local, private school to learn and practice reading/writing local...
