Islam is wrong. There. I said it. It's garbage. Anyone who believes in a guy who suddenly came onto the scene six centuries after the Incarnation saying everything that preceeded him was wrong suffers from intellectual myopia.
Take a look at the last part of that sentece. 600 years. Muhammad comes along and claims that the Three Persons that make up the Holy Trinity are wrong. He mocks the idea that Christ our Lord was not only a man, but God Himself. He scurrilously claims that the Apostles who followed Our Lord either purposely or ingnorantly perverted the message of Jesus. This man, with no connection to 1st Century Judea with utter presumption dismisses the Gospel accounts written by Jesus' contemporaries and instead claims to have exclusive knowledge of the proceedings that went on among the Jewish people.
I dismiss Islam because it is utterly divorced from reality; it is a religion of a demagogue. Islam is an affront to my God. It blasphemes my Savior, my Lord and my God. It is a doctrine which insults the Communion of Saints. It turns the Apostles into religious hucksters and liars.
But do you see Catholics, or Christians in general for that matter, going berserk when Muslims speak their blasphemous doctrines? Do we burn down Muslim embassies when Muslim apologists patronize us by saying they believe in a mere man named Isa, as though this should curry any respect?
Do you see us protesting when our brothers and sisters who convert to the True Faith are perescuted in Islamic countries with massacres and violence against Mosques?
No.
And why is that.
The answer is simple. Manuel II Paleologos summed it up: Islam brought...only evil and inhumanity.
Traditional Islam is an affront to God. Muhammad at best was a heresiarch and at worst an anti-Christ.
There. I said it.
You're right.
Yup.
Mega Dittos!!!!
As a Deist, I find all organized religions to be wrong. However, I agree with your assessment that Islam is garbage. Unlike the others, it advocates harm to unbelievers.
"As a Deist, I find all organized religions to be wrong. "
Would you prefer disorganized religion?
With Islams current promotion of violence, death and slavery to ALL non believers...it has no place in civilization. Worshiping your God should not include human sacrifice.
That's an interesting thing to say, coming as it is from a guy who suddenly came onto the scene fourteen centuries after Muhammad.
Be well.
But he came on to the FR Scene 10 days ago!
I can't wait for the Mormon defense.............
Sounds like a good idea to me.
I think it would be more accurate to say that Islam is false, as in the opposite of true is false.
America is founded upon Judeo-Christian faith and teachings. Hence the carving of the 10 Commandments tablets on the Supreme Court Building, and George Washinton's (THE George Washington...) Thanksgiving Procalamation, and John Jay's (first chief justice of The United States Supreme Court) statement that, "Since America is founded as a Christian Nation, it is the right of the people that they should elect Christians to govern them."
Shove that 'Great White Hanky' up thar Deist-hole.

Islam is not a religion, it is a satanic death cult, founded by a pedophile.
Yes. If one was not a believer in religion, I must agree this is a very good point of differentiation and extra dislike.
May I also included the religion of Liberalism as well? I believe they consistently advocate harm to our President (I also used to have liberal/Socialist/Communist teachers in college that talked about killing and taking the homes of the rich in 'the revolution'--whatever).
Welcome to FR.
I hope you're planning to participate on threads other than your own.
