You must know nothing of Islam. There can never be Muslim Bashing when you speak of the truth of Islam.
Muslims want non muslims to either submit to Islam or die, Period. That is their theology.
And if a Muslim says this is a lie, then you know he lies because the Quran tells all Muslims to lie to non Muslims in regards to the truth about Islam.
Truth is hate to those who hate the truth.
Exactly right...the Koran teaches that. The Koran also teaches that a Muslim who leaves the "faith" is to be executed. How many times does this need to be said? Any religion, (including mine if it WERE to do so) that teaches that type of philosophy is evil and will lead to evil deeds by its followers. It is not racism, but logic that produces my thought process about Islam.
I am not going to continue justifying my position to individuals who do not want to understand logic and reason. Furthermore, our troops are still dying at the hands of people who grew up under that philosophy. And, our troops will continue to die. Israelis will continue to die with suicide bombings. Americans here will eventually die if this religion is left unchecked. Simple logic. Once it happens, the apologists will not be found anymore. Reason: Human pride prevents apology and admission of error.
And if a Muslim says this is a lie, then you know he lies because the Quran tells all Muslims to lie to non Muslims in regards to the truth about Islam.
Well, I've heard that the Talmud teaches it's okay for Jews to lie and swindle Gentiles, and that Gentiles are lesser people. The Canaanites are certainly treated as deserving of death, merely because Yaweeh said so. And Christians have a history of killing Jews and Muslims in crusades and inquisitions, merely because they were "infidels" or "heathen" or whatever.
Humanity has cruel and tribalistic roots, and that includes all religions and races. Dig into any group's past, and you can cherry pick unsavory quotes.
Sure, modern Jews and Christians have evolved from the uglier elements in their past (the Bible celebrates much cruelty) -- but so too have many Muslims. None of these religions have an unblemished history or dogma.
But many "conservatives" are playing a double standard. They judge Islams by its bad (and ignore the good), and judge Judaism and Christianity by its good (and ignore the bad).
Sorry, but I delcine to take "sides" in a religious war. I'll continue judging individuals by the content of their character, and not by atavistic quotes from millenia old texts.
