Religions are nothing more than some men's thoughts on what should be. They can all be radical at times, just as men are.

None of them makes any human better than they already were, they just believe it does.

Islam is a scourge that the rest of the world does not want - how foolish the intolerance looks to the rest of us.

If you want that religion that is your choice, but leave the rest of us alone. there is absolutely no justifaction for the violence and intolrance of Islam. people must be free to choose their own religions. Islam is a violent religion that only causes strife. it murders it's own schoolgirls because they want to learn.

it is a religion of revenge, hate, violence and degradation to women whose proponents are so desparate that thye come onto dating sites to see if anyone will listen to their loosely fabricated intolerant justifications...shall I continue?

Ive heard the same claims about christianity and homosexuals,,,people use the parts of religious books that suit them,, some to justify evil actions and some to condone them,,,,

islam is a religion, people who are evil use it to justify their evil,,,,MOST muslims are not evil (IMHO) but many are fearful of the minority who are,,,,

well, when you say most of them, your right... but that leaves 100,000,000 of the crazies running loose in the world...

if everyone wants to read al quran comprehensively. i believe there will b no doubts bout islam. n as far as i know islam never teaches bout violence. killing daughter? i don't think so. the quraisy community in arab did that thing bcause having daughter was a shame thing n useless,so they burried them alive soon they were born. islam never differ people by race,gender just their behavior and their good deeds to God and other people.so,briefly to b a good or bad person isn't based on what religion. they are,coz in my opinion there's no religion teaches the folk to do bad things, but it's only based on human's ttitude.

I agree.

so,how come Islam started using Fire and the Sword as soon as it got the upper hand?
You might need to read the Chapters your Imam politely is hiding!

i keep hearing people say these things, but it seems to me that you guys are the ones that are not reading it... did you skip over the parts about the infidels? did you read about how islam is the only religion that matters?

Probably did not read that death is the punishment meted out to the unbelievers either.

well, i do know the one thing just about all muslims have in common is hating Jews... thats not exactly peace and love either...

The harsh reality is that atrocities are being committed in the name of Islam, and there have been few Muslim voices speaking out against the atrocities. It is the silence of Muslims that angers non-Muslims.

i agree... it seems most are secretly wanting the fanatics around...

the shoe on the other foot syndrome overcomes me,,,,

we never stop to think that maybe 'silence' (what does that mean though? absence in the media? absence of action by lawmakers in other countries?) of westerners, or americans, or christians about some of the terrible things happening to muslims with the support of western government angers non westerners?


its a vicious circle, its always been and always will be,, just as violence in general will be,,,,

I also feel compelled to add

CHRISTIANITY is an umbrella name for a belief system centering, in large part, the bible,,, the SPECIFICS and DETAILS of such beliefs are very diverse and spread out amongst numerous denominations

ISLAM is similarly a belief system in general around the Qu'ran, the SPECIFICS AND DETAILS of such beliefs are also diverse and spread out amongst the sunni and the shia


what people take from either religion/religious book is very diverse, both the bible and the quran have what can be interpreted as direct commands to kill infidels,,,,

some will take those verses as universal doctrines and some will take them for a specific command to a specific people in a specific situation,,,,


Samuel 15 God Commands Amalekite Genocide
15:1 Samuel also said unto Saul, The LORD sent me to anoint thee to be king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of the words of the LORD.
15:2 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt.
(15:2-3) "Thus saith the LORD of hosts ... slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ***."


THAT IS FROM MY BIBLE,,,,THAT IS FROM THE BIBLE,, but I dont interpret it as an instruction directed at ME , I interpret it as a direction given in that MOMENT to that person for a specific situation,,,,

msharmony, I find it odd that you mention Christianity, and yet the the verses that you quote come from the Tanak, which is the set of scriptures that Jews conform to. Those verses told ancient Israelites to kill certain people.

Besides, the verses that you cite state what was done in the distant past, not what anyone should continue doing.

Whenever Muslims kill in the name of Islam, they do so believing that they are following instructions that are applicable today.

Thankfully, killing in the name of Islam isn't practiced by every Muslim.

Actually, when members of the western media report on Muslim-on-Muslim atrocities, westerners do respond with criticism. However, members of the western media have to report on such atrocities first.

Besides, the verses that you cite state what was done in the distant past, not what anyone should continue doing.

Whenever Muslims kill in the name of Islam, they do so believing that they are following instructions that are applicable today.



YES, this is my point,, some people take verses about what was done in the distant past and apply it to how they think they are supposed to live now,,,

radicals who kill in the name of a religion, do so believing they are following instructions applicable today,,,

Ah! Now I understand what you are saying. Thanks!

And growing rapidly through the process of radicalization.

i believe that all bad things happened coz people's mind. seeing d history of ku klux klan? they're fanatic,seeing d muslim terrorist n bomber,they're fanatic.fanaticism can blow people's mind like a virus. muhammad did d war long time a go cz there're so many enemies dying want to kill him. quran stated that u are 4bidden to kill people who won't kill u. there must b a huge missunderstanding in that criminals' mind. honestly i don't respect on what those criminals did. n bout d relationship between muslims n jews,there's a long history bout jews n muslims actually. quran called jews "bani israel" that means "people of israil". bani israel is d descent of prophet ibrahim/abraham. he had 2 sons,ishmael n ishaq. one of them expand his descents who later become "bani israel". quran acknowledges bout d special quality of bani israel above other races in this world, well i agree on that thing. on d other side,they're also fated to have bad relationship with muslims in palestine n denied their long predecessor's faith (ibrahim's a muslim,he's d first prophet who did circumcision). that's why people of palestine n israel never got peace,n this situation creates bad sentiments among muslims in d world. in addition,it had stated in quran that both of people won't never end their confrontation till doomsday come. it is exactljy d same with reality. just see d progress to prove what's been said in quran is right or wrong.
