QUOTE(Moulton @ Tue 31st August 2010, 3:09am)  QUOTE(powercorrupts @ Mon 30th August 2010, 10:05pm) QUOTE(Alison @ Tue 31st August 2010, 2:49am) (BTW - the thread title caught me for a moment. Thank goodness it wasn't literal!   ) I'd rather see his ginger balls than read him randomize about his daily life. Wales is Welsh. He's not a red-headed kilt-wearing Scot. Good valley's name, "Jimbo". The wacky thing is - he's Irish (of the polystyrene variety). What was that about moratoriums, favouritism etc etc? Can the world ever be peaceful with Wikipedia around?

QUOTE(Moulton @ Mon 30th August 2010, 10:27pm) QUOTE(powercorrupts @ Mon 30th August 2010, 10:14pm) Can the world ever be peaceful with Wikipedia around? If you want peace, work for justice. If you want justice, work for peace. Justice is impossible under conditions of war. Obviously, an unjust peace is unstable. But that condition is necessary to begin to establish justice. And here I'm tempted to go into an examination of this issue from the point of view of classical Islamic shari'a, settled religious law. The modern problem with "terrorism" represents a gross violation of shari'a, involving sectarian affliliation and disruptive action without the consensus of the community, and without authorization by the "khalifa" (two alternate sources of possible community decision-making). It is no coincidence that the problems have been strongest among the wahabiyya, a modern imitation of an earlier Kharijite community that rejected classical law and substituted their own "fundamentalist" imaginings, that considers everyone else (the majority!) heretical and to be killed when possible. Sure, work for justice. But be sure to do so consistently with the need for all people for peace. |

It's hard to be at war when you're laughing your ass off. |
