http://www.ted.com As she accepts her 2008 TED Prize, author and scholar Karen Armstrong talks about how the Abrahamic religions -- Islam, Judaism, Christianity -- have been diverted from the moral purpose they share to foster compassion. But Armstrong has seen a yearning to change this fact. People want to be religious, she says; we should act to help make religion a force for harmony. She asks the TED community to help her build a Charter for Compassion -- to help restore the Golden Rule as the central global religious doctrine.

vilgessuola. Ur posts, "A fundamentalist anybody is a fearful person who cannot bear uncertainty or the possibility of being wrong. May the gods preserve us from Christian, Muslim, and Jewish fundamentalists and their anti intellectual, anti science and illiberal doctrines. Please don't reply to this as I have no more to say on the matter."Who do, shud & wud u entrust ur brain or heart operation to? A fundamentalist illiberal specialist; or a liberal "specialist" of/with no fundamentals?

Aah, vilgessuola. Lesson #101 on the word "fundamentalist" - one who fundamentally obeys the fundamentals of a principle/belief. A fundamentalist Christian is fundamentally holy, that Holy Allah and His Son Jesus Christ are holy. A fundamentalist Muslim is fundamentally wicked and evil, that bogus-allah Islam's allah aka Lucifer aka Satan and his "prophet" Mohd are wicked and evil.

There is a huge difference between cutting someone from a will, and throwing them into hell for eternity. Bad analogy. If my children rejected me I would certainly not reject them.

All religions in their exoteric forms have their flaws and their ugly side, and Christianity, especially of the fundamentalist kind, is pretty damn unpleasant, so get the plank out of your own eye.

She is not 'passionately defending Allah'. She also mentions Jewish scholars, Confucious and Taoism. She's a historian of religion,not an apologist, so quit burbling on about prostitution. If she does collect high fees for lecturing, good for her: I certainly wouldn't lecture for peanuts.

49 yr old, vilgessuola. Look at the face of former Roman Catholic nun, Islam expert, defender of "Allah's final & only non-corrupt religion for humnakind" Islam, collector of high lecture fees plus "other" benefits NON-MUSLIM Karen Armstrong in the video. Face of an intellectual and spiritual PROSTITUTE; or face of a honest & chaste person? How cud an expert PASSIONATELY defend Islam's allah, and yet remain a fee & "benefits" collecting non-Muslim?

49 yr old, vilgessuola. U agree, or disagree?Islam's allah is a PROSTITUTING GANGSTER imposter-allah & bogus-allah, no-allah.Proof text: Quran 9:29. Gist of Quran 9:29. Infidels who refuse to convert to Islam AND who refuse to regularly pay up Islam's GANGSTER jizyah extortion money to Islam, are to be killed by Muslims. Infidels who refuse to convert to Islam but wud regularly pay up the jizya, are to be protected by Muslims and to be allowed to remain infidels.

And what a vicious, petty, evil tyrant that would make him, if it were true! Most humans are above that sort of crackpot jealousy, so the creator, if he exists, has to be at least as moral as his creatures.
