Whatever you complain about Christianity, Islam is like that times three (or maybe four or five). And not just back in history but still here today.
"For God and Country" was the battle cry from many ... Many of the Muslim battles have been over trade routes, water rights, land and oil ... There is no black and white here.
You're looking at a black piece of paper with a small white dot next to a white piece of paper with a small black dot and claiming there's no black and white.
So what are you suggesting? That Islam will evolve on its own and criticisms should therefore be withheld? There is not a thing wrong in condemning this backward religion, the mother of poverty and ignorance throughout the world. In fact it should be encouraged.
I've noticed a lot of these liberals on the left show a surprising amount of ignorance and immaturity. I don't want to accuse their position of being one based on ignorance, but it often seems that way in this forum.
I certainly don't give violent radical Muslims a "pass". They are to be condemned. I simply don't feel the need to condemn the other 90% of Muslims who haven't been any more violent than the average American.
You talk about me bringing in an outside group into the discussion. Where did Democrats come from? Group overlaps will happen. Not all KKK members were Demorats, not we're all Democrats KKK members. Last I checked, the KKK as not divided up into a bunch of different sub groups with different tenants like religions and even political parties are. You could ask me the same about Judism, or Buddhism, and my answer would be the same. There isn't anything per se to attract me to them. If there was any religion I knew enough about to have an attraction to it would be Wicca. But it's the people and denominations that I look to and how they act. It's why I can condemn WBC on their actions and not all of Christianity. Or Brunei and not all of Islam
What broad brushing? That the world would be just fine without Islam? That it's a 'mind virus'? I don't give two shits about your opinion. Especially since you just admitted to being into some wierd sexual ****, and yet here you are virtual signalling in a thread about a knuckle dragging ideology that would kill someone like you. That's not a rational position to hold. So go conduct yourself an experiment. Go to your nearest mosque and be totally honest with them about who you are. See how well you're recieved and tolerated.
Perhaps he..(or any other islamic apologist for that matter) could list me ten good things about mohammed. mohammed is the cornerstone of islam, so to speak...the founder of islam..so to speak... surely a discussion on the virtues of mohammed would "clear the air" a little.....perhaps not if theres no response from anyone...which is what I expect....
Wouldn't matter, most of these dipshits, if you get down to it, they simply hate the "white Christian male Western patriarchy" to such an extent that they'll defend anything that opposes it. It's pathological, and annoying as ****.
Now I've read about muhammed, and I can't name one good thing. But as I said before, he did stop the killing of baby girls, Of course he may have wanted them for sex.
They didn't start world wars on religious ground. Islamist are waging war presently in the name of religion with the support of millions of "moderate" muslims.
