It does seem that if there were a radical armed army of Christians going around setting off bombs, raping and beheading people in the Name of God and/or Jesus, other Christians, that is, the sane ones, would rise up in such vociferous numbers that the noise of protest would be deafening. I do not hear a deafening noise of protest from sane muslims around the world. I hear, if not silence, something close to it. It's hard not to think that regular Muslims quietly condone what their radical brothers are doing.
I actually am scared America will become Ameristan. As Churchill said, no matter the qualities of individual Moslems, they hurt society. I am a proud Islamophobe - I am afraid of Islam; it must be stopped from destroying the West. That does no mean I hate Muslims, though.
Look at it this way, Ox. You love Scotland. If Scotland, with its kilts and haggis, started eating kebab and dressing in hijabs, would you love it as much?
Yes. It's not an ideal word, but it would still be just as wrong to use it for gender and for ethnicity.
GeneralPE, I highly doubt the design of Islam was to war, probably if anything, it was to get peace between the Arab tribes (or y'know, God giving his mores). The same that you're saying can be said for Christianity and atheism. I'm all for condemning Islam, but not without condemning all other organised cultist dogmatisms.
Lmao! Dude you literally made my day with that response not even being sarcastic. The world is fucked if you are ever in a position in power. Racist for hating a religion lmao, A religion that turns out to be one full of hate and violence and has always been.
It's stupid to believe only the Quran has quotes that are arguably evil. The Quran, the Bible and the Torah all have the same origins, and one book copies the other.
I love this quote of the bible:
"Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; And a man's enemies will be the members of his household."
The Sword of the Gospel (Luke 12:49-53)
That's your loving Jesus...
Please read the bible before saying islam is a religion of intolerance and war.
I wasn't talking to you in particular, but to all muslim haters that feel superior because they're christians. If you're not a christian, you're not a hippocrite.
I wonder what TeamGuns is reading into this bible passage? Millions of Christians had this passage come to live as they converted from Judaism or Islam and were cast out by their own family.
I guess you can interpret this the way you want. As I see, it's the explanation of how religion tears appart humans, to defend ideas that do only exist in the purpose of separating men.
How many religious civil wars happened in the history of the world? How many people died in vain to defend those ideas? How many more will?
Organised religion does only serve one purpose: the one of dominating and conquering the neighboring religions. And it has been used politically to those ends as well. Rich countries were invaded by noblemen in the name of religion, when it was really just for greed and power.
