Islam perhaps offers the oldest example of Political Correctness; where those with a counter agenda intentionally pervert the common understanding of words.
To say Islam is a religion defies logic, if for no other reason than its adherents are expected to commit evil acts in order to achieve blessings.
Being a spirit-head as I am, I have to politely disagree. Islam is a bona fide religion. What we weak Christians of the current West are not used to thinking is that genuine faith (or, if you want to use the term, religion) has consequences. It will carry on to create a culture.
The one that looks out for widows and orphans in their distress is different from the one that creates widows and orphans in distress.
You and I know this.
How is it that soo many, seemingly intelligent people either don’t know it or are soo reluctant to define what we know?
Who said that every religion had to be “good” any more than who said that every drinkable liquid had to not be poison?
Islam is a mental disease.. There..!
Oh if you want you can use various adjectives like crazy (and evil, and devil orchestrated, etc.) to describe the religion of Islam. But it is a religion.
Anyone with about three ounces of Middle Eastern history knows how rapacious Islam is. Their mission statement is about slaughtering adherents to any other religion and everybody else who will not “submit”.
I need a grant to determine water is wet and why the sky is blue sometimes.

Lord, I hate public schools.. I really, really, really do.
Like a swarm of hornets all over Spain.
The Inquisition in this context looks like too little, too late, compromised, and basically twisted. A church full of Islamist influence was trying to cast out Islam but managed mostly to step on its own je ne sais quoi. It still wasn’t anywhere as bad as Communism for murderousness, though.
What does that change that is germane to this picture?
EXCELLENT critical thinking European site!
Thanks for making us aware of it.
I hope freedom minded people of Europe, the US / Americas, Africa, Asia and Australia, ALL rise up en-mass and drive Muslims the hell out of their countries and humiliate them once and for all.
Marginalize and ridicule Islam so it becomes a shunned radioactive ideology cult that it is!
If Islam IS a. Religion, it’s actually the only violent one
Just duh
Sean ha mitt was blithering about how he is not big on his own faith, the Catholic Church for condoning priests’ abuse of children
He is an IDIOT
The Catholic Church does not condone it. Frail, temp table, flawed humans within the Church condone it, but they are Catholic in name only
Nowhere in Church doctrine, history, the Bible, nor Jesus’teachings does the Church provide for sex abuse
Shut up you Catholics who don’t even own a catechism, nor teach religious Ed nor go to mass exert sunday(mortal sin not to) nor have any idea what you’re talking about,
Bolling, hannity. Ugh
“Marginalize and ridicule” is something that the gates of hell laugh right back at. These people move at their beck and call.
Something tougher is needed. Something that is God tough.
Yes there is a difference between a religion doing what it says it is supposed to do (read the Koran) and doing what it says it is not supposed to do (read the Bible and, as applicable, Catholic catechisms).
Comparative religion used to be taught in High School (electives!) A wonderful course that enlightened and educated folks. How sad that people don’t understand that. 50 years of dumbing down has really worked, hasn’t it?
Being a spirit-head as I am, I have to politely disagree. Islam is a bona fide religion. What we weak Christians of the current West are not used to thinking is that genuine faith (or, if you want to use the term, religion) has consequences. It will carry on to create a culture.
Bona fide?
Because of their numbers?
Genuine faith?
Faith in what?
Islam is a Cult. A death cult conceived by a psychopath that was able to advance by the sword.
Would you also recognize Hinduism or Buddhism as a Religion?
Would you also call “Climate change” fanatics a religion as well?
And even yet... when it came to Islam, did they really touch on the rank underbelly of Islam? Or did they cover what we would call nominal or “moderate” Islam?
