Cite your evidence for this fact. Do you have a magic force-field that stops Christians from killing you or others for blasphemy? Do you have any cites for riots or murders over the daily blasphemy that occurs against that religion?
Because if you have such a force-field you might want to share it with the rest of us so we don’t have to deal with the unending attacks around the world from the more ardent supporters of Islam.
And so is Christianity.
:rolleyes: Oh, please. I said they can’t get away with it, not that they couldn’t kill me.
Muslims seem to able to get away with it. What is different among the other religions you insist are at war with the world? I could heat my house with bibles all winter long yet the suggestion that a Quran might be burned causes riots 6000 miles away.
Again. It’s the fact that the government in some place like America is dominant over the local religions, and will punish them if they get out of line. And plenty of believers in America do attack or kill “sinners” when they think they won’t be caught; look at gay bashing.
Again, decades of economic prosperity, education, access to internet, tv etc didn’t weaken Islam or made governments dominate over it. And it will never happen by the look of things.
This is an absurd statement to make. There is zero dominance over religions by the government. It’s expressly forbidden by the constitution.
consider yourself free to cite the killing of sinners.
The first thing I think of is the geometric patterns that adorn some of the classic mosques. I don’t even think “religion” or “mosque” but “pattern”.
Of course there is. Religions are not allowed to violate the law and are called on it all the time.
The Ottoman Empire, actually. I play a little too much Empire: Total War.
I’ve created another thread on Christianity.
I say “Christianity” What’s the first thing you think of?
You are confusing what Islam is now with what Christianity has been on occasion in the past. But it seems you enjoy your little charade, and who am I to deprive you of it?
If your paranoia extends to a fear of expressing your opinions publicly in America, by all means keep them to yourself. (It’s safe though, just as an FYI.) However I realize you need to keep up a pretense that it is not so you don’t have to change your entire paradigm. Carry on.
And yet some of them manage to break the law quite spectacularly. It would appear that Islam is brutal and oppressive outside of theocracies despite the law.
But Chief Pedant already pointed out that you won’t admit your position publicly so that pretty much sets the tone for any further input on your part.
First thing I think of is some of the students at my school. Particularly the girl who always wears a sparkly hijab that matches the rest of her outfit - and hot pink Chuck Taylors peeking out from under her skirt.
Terrorist. But I am just watching back to back Homeland series 1. And I’m not remotely religious.
You da man!
Islam was born 500-600 years after Christianity was born. So, I guess we can say Islam needs at 500-600 years to reform itself.
In general.
First: Intolerance towards females.
Second: Intolerance towards anyone who is not agreeing with them.
Third: Inability to learn compassion.
