And lets not talk about the imbalance in the black-on-white vs. white-on-black murders and rapes, or the murder rate by race, etc.
Idiots like West aren’t interested in a rational discussion of issues. All he is interested in is using race and white guilt to push his racist agenda. No thanks, I’m not playing.
I judge Islam by the Koran, ISIS, Al Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Martyrs Brigade, Al Shabab, Abu Sayef, Boko Haram, and the complete silence from “moderate” Muslims.
Corny’s been around since the 1980’s with his obsolete Afro & witch doctor in a cheap suit getup, pushing his radical views.
Why is anyone even bothering to listen? Corny sounds like the Black Panthers in Leonard Bernstein’s penthouse back in 1970 (”Radical Chic”).
Including their shari law when a controlling majority.
Present day, that include honor murders, stoning to death & head-chopping.

They would be heretics in my view and in the view of the fundamentalists.
That's exactly why so many so-called Cafeteria Muslims get killed along with us Infidels. They are nothing more than heretics and apostates.
Anyone not agreeing with his established religion should leave it. So these Muslims muddle along and try to change the religion to suit their lifestyles.
The problem these heretical Muslims have is that leaving the religion carries the death penalty.
Narrated 'Abdullah: Allah's Apostle said, "The blood of a Muslim who confesses that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that I am His Apostle, cannot be shed except in three cases: In Qisas for murder, a married person who commits illegal sexual intercourse and the one who reverts from Islam (apostate) and leaves the Muslims."
Sahih Bukhari 9:83:17 Narrated Ikrima: Ali burnt some people and this news reached Ibn 'Abbas, who said, "Had I been in his place I would not have burnt them, as the Prophet said, 'Don't punish (anybody) with Allah's Punishment.' No doubt, I would have killed them, for the Prophet said, 'If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him.' " Sahih Bukhari 4:52:260
In the News/Activism forum, on a thread titled Cornel West: Judging Islam by ISIS Same As Judging Christianity for Lynching Blacks, BenLurkin wrote:
“Islam that argues for rights, tolerance and equality - would violate eh basic tenet of Islam which requires submission to the Islamic system.No matter who you are.”
It also denys a basic tenet of both monotheisitic religions. Jewish and Christian dogma asserts that gift given from God is known as “Free Will”. The sad thing is it’s never presented as a counter argument to that teaching which both should condem that theological assertion. Until it is it will be with us.

Dhimmi and Jizya
No true Christian ever lynched a black.
Actually, the socialists are more like Islam. Death by Christians is actually not that many.
Death by Socialist is in the multi millions....as is death by Muslim.
Will the real murderer please stand up?
Socislam stood.
Moreover, the Bible nowhere instructs any Christian to be involved in lynching, or even to single out blacks or any groups for persecution.
It is copiously documented, however, that the Koran is a completely different story.

There is a big difference. The Christian bible is against such acts of violence regardless of how a few so called Christians behaved.
The Islamic bible calls for such acts of violence against all who are not Islamic.
False moral equivalency. Killing members of other religions because of their religion is a core belief of mohammedanism.It is part of its fundamental essence. Christianity has no such core belief and no such essence. They are different in kind.
One gets the strong sense that Mr. Cornel West already dislikes Christianity and already approves of Islam including ISIS, so why does his false equivalency driven by personal bias get any press whatsoever?
He’s just making a fairly simplistic attempt at manipulating the uninformed.
How about judging Islam by:
Iranian hostage taking
Marine Barrack bombing 1983
Achille Lauro hijacking
World Trade Center bombing 1993
Khobar Towers bombing
USS Cole
9/11
Madrid train, London Underground, Boston Marathon, etc ad nausium

No True Scotsman.
True. But you just can't say that there is nothing in the Bible that justifies a lot of what ISIS is doing.
The laws of war in the OT are if anything even more harsh than those of Islam. As are its rules for taking slaves, including sex slaves, from the captives.
Also, the Law of Moses prescribes the death penalty for apostasy, just like Islam. While today's orthodox Jews no longer enforce this in a literal sense, many of them hold a funeral for a family member who apostasizes and consider them henceforth dead.
The point is that basic Koranic Islam is in many ways very similar to basic OT Judaism. Judaism has moved beyond this savagery, and Christianity never was there. The problem is that Islam has NOT moved beyond this literal interpretation of its Holy Books. Given its emphasis on the literal truth of those Books, I'm not sure it can.
Sounds like West needs to take the time to read the Koran.
