How much will it take for people to understand the meaning of Islam? (Page 2/14)

Show me where a Christian has done evil and it was justified by the words of Christ. The case can be made that terrorist are doing the will of Allah according to the koran by making war against the infidels.

BWAAAAHHAHAHAHA

*SMACK!*

Grid: I don't usually even bother responding to this tool's posts. He does this every couple hours.

It's hate-mongering, pure and simple.

Oh, but in any case, Dennis was looking for examples done in Christ's name?

Hmmm...
Besides the whole whack of Crusades done in the middle ages, you have the Inquisition, That was justified in the same way as Islamic Jihad; By twisting meanings of words.

Next, you have a whole list of attrocities based on a few choice passages; Namely: Exodus 22:18, Deuteronomy 18:10-11, Galatians 5:19-20, and Revelation 21:8.

You know, salem witch trials, that sorta kidney.

Then you have the queer-bashing, murders, etc., justified by various biblical quotes.

Face it Dennis, people suck. Not just muslims. There is plenty of suckiness to go around without you spreading intolerance and racism.

Ciao.

It really makes me feel sad for the girl. It wasn't her fault.

Why do people do that?

I just don't understand that culture at all.

Dennis how can you be so misguided?
Didn't you hear that Islam is a religion of peace?

Posting an article on what really happens in some cultures makes one a racist and intolerant?

As noted above, there has been plenty of evil done in the name of Christianity (and every other known world religion) but that doesn't mean that the religion approves of it. I'm not defending Islam because I think it has always proven itself not to be a peaceful religion, but this topic is kinda silly and in my opinion has nothing to do with Islam. As noted, the only mention of it at all seems to be saying that Islam is against this.

The Quran and the practices that take place in that culture are inseparably linked.

I have read several accounts of Muslim girls having acid thrown in their face for being guilty of being raped.

In Saudi Arabia a building was on fire, as the girls exited, the religious policed deemed that they were not appropriately dressed, so they were forced to burn alive.

There are all kinds of stories that paralell this one that are supported by the Muslim leaders.

I'm sure they do support the religious leaders... but it is actually written into the old texts of the religion?

There is a lot of stuff that is accepted as being part of any religion that is stuff that has just happened over the years and become accepted.

Again, I'm not saying that Islam is a wonderful peaceful religion. In my opinion it is very twisted and evil... But, the way the title of this topic was worded does not correspond with the posted text.. In this case, A+B does not equal C.

In old Japan, people would commit suicide if they felt they had done something to dishonor themselves. I don't see anyone commiting suicide over there for dishonor. Was it because of religion that they did it or just because it was what they were taught they were supposed to do? Thankfully, they outgrew the custom whichever it was.
