Do you believe that Islam and its followers are a threat to the world?

[inf1nity]

Okay before you guys start getting your panties in a bunch and calling me a bigot, take a moment to read what i am saying.

We can argue endlessly about who is a 'true' Muslim and who isn't.. but that would be useless. Fact of the matter is Muslims around the world are turning to violence and intolerance. You can point out muslims that are peaceful, and i can point out n equal number of Muslims who support the ideology of intolerance and manslaughter with their whole hearts. If that wasn't the case, you wouldn't have British, American, Indian and other countries' Muslim citizens flocking to the middle east to join ISIS.

In the past, deniers often claim that its is not Islam but poverty and lack of proper education that is responsible for people turning to terrorism. Now we have this-

This girl isn't poor by any means, and she sure as hell ain't uneducated. So what gives?

I believe that it is time that the world stops being afraid of being labelled 'racist' and call a spade a spade. Islam as of now is no longer just a religion. It has turned into a violent, dangerous cult. A cult that preaches death upon nonbelievers. Something like this has absolutely no place in the modern society.

Do you believe that people should be wary of muslims and place checks on their ever increasing populations?

 

[piasabird]

They turn to violence just like the people in Ferguson, MO. I don't see much difference.

 

[blake0812]

I dunno, would you consider beheading violent?

 

[brycejones]

Nutters of any religious persuasion are a threat to the civilized world.

I gather you never took any college course on Islam? Or tried to do any reading yourself? Or tried to meet and know Muslims in America? I think not. That is usually the case with such folks. Carry on

 

[Retro Rob]

Islam and its followers are not a threat to the world...fanaticism (even that of Christianity) is a threat.

OP, you should change the thread title for accuracy; insert radical between "that" and "Islam"

Chances are very high that people who want to condemn all Muslims for the actions of a few have never worked or lived in a predominately Muslim country or actually gotten to know anyone that follows Islam.

It doesn't even have to be religious persuasion. The violent and barbaric history of Communism is an ample proof of that. Stalin killed millions of his own country men and women. For that matter, the democracies of the western world have done their own fair share of atrocities

People just don't seem to have understanding of the human nature, its lust for power and greed. Hence such debates remain very superficial.

Let me know if you ever find the civilized world you are talking about?

You can make shit up to defend your preconceived notions all you want. it doesn't make them true

What about people who read the Quran? Alot of people I work with can recite passages flawlessly.

I thought you considered those faked?

Do they let you know the Quran was mostly derived from the Old Testament?

 

[squarecut1]

So I was talking to this devout Christian a long time back. A very knowledgeable and deep person.

He quoted me (and I already knew about it) the incident of Gandhi when he visited Britain and was asked what he thought of western civilization. His reply: "It would be a good idea".

 

[blake0812]

Do they let you know the Quran was mostly derived from the Old Testament?

What does that have to do with anything? Of course it's derived from the OT, Ishmael was mentioned in the Book of Genesis. The OT is full of violence, and the Quran is based off of it.

I thought you considered those faked?

Nice strawman.

Not even a page in, and here comes the religious/holy book bashers.

I'm out.

Just want to let you know that you don't know shit.

I should also add. The Nazis. Were they religious extremists? Or how about Pol Pot and his murderous regime?

It is easy to bash religions (esp Christianity and Islam) but the fact is that the biggest mass murderers of the last 100 years have not been religious extremists at all.

 

[MtnMan]

The ignorance of believing in sky daddies that hate people that believe in different sky daddies is the greatest threat to civilization.

This utter stupidity will be the end of civilization.

Why are they reciting it at work?
You should talk to those people, make some friends

 

[justoh]

You'd have to be an idiot to vote no. Surprised there aren't more no votes.

 

[brycejones]

Nice strawman.

Whut? I'm sorry you don't want to claim your own theories.

 

[Orignal Earl]

We need a P&N Buddha statue and some Vietnamese ladies hanging out here

 

[Orignal Earl]

Speaking of statues..
Who can name these figures on the Supreme Court Building?
