Do you have a definition for "religion" that includes Judaism and Christianity yet excludes Islam.
antivenom: It is not a religionPerhaps I would start with something that does not incorporate a political system (sharia) and whose founder did not set examples for mass murder and genocide to be used to achieve the ultimate goal of capturing land (Darul Harb vs Darul Islam)...MosesKnows: Do you have a definition for "religion" that includes Judaism and Christianity yet excludes Islam.
Religion comes from the word religare, which means "to restrain" or "tie back"...same word from which we get the word legislation. Religion, then, "RELIES" on a code of thought and behavior that instructs us how to behave when we have lost our way—something that can re-binds us, or ties us back once our fetters have been broken. Judaism and Christianity RELY on the Bible, and rely on the 10 Commandments...this is the mortor of the Judea/Christian religion...it doesn't change it does get twisted to meet daily goals like lying, or killing or maiming other people because of their FAITH.
To me Islam is a faith...with immas (sp) and such preaching to the faithless (remember the lost and lonely muslim youth in Europe), hate and murder...preaching fatwahs...fatwah is a type of faith that can only be backed by a CULT.
Islam is not a religion..it is a CULT that spun off of religion centuries ago and currently has faithless people bending to the evil will for the destruction of the Jews and non-believers...it is a Cult that has convinced many followers that it is a "living document"...that the words can be bent and changed upon a whim...upon a goal...to deceive, undermine or destroy anyone NOT following their cult's faith. Even other Muslims who don't engage in their "current" goals.
I do not accept Islam as a religion...it is a cult based upon the Bible...from centuries ago.
