A collection of superstitions is not a race.
Dunno what the problem is supposed to be. I subscribe to one of those, myself.
Sometimes two, in fact…
There is no reason to be angry or feel insulted here for me. Please try to tell a few others over here that they do not have to be in a pitiable state of being and pls also tell them that I love them and will always love them. cheers
I love and respect Muslims. Don’t be confused. Islam is a poison. You should love and respect everyone including Muslims at the level of an individual.
Truthseeker, perhaps you’ll get more fruitful engagement from many Dopers if you emphasize the “religion is superstitious, dangerous nonsense” angle rather than Islam per se.
No. I mean Islam is the poison. Rest all religions have reformed, are largely peaceful n compatible with each other today.
I never tell a Muslim to his/her face but internet is a beautiful thing. Here, one can write the truth, what the vast majority of non-Muslims think about Islam.
He is a pure hate mongerer.
Purely.
He makes excuses and denies Hindu supramecist violence against the christians, against the muslims, against others in general, and repeats his blind bigotted hatred like a robot.
For the liberal left secularists to make a common cause with such it is a discredit
Is that like “I don’t hate gays-I hate their lifestyle”?
If there’s a “truth” that you would never tell to anyone belonging to a massive group of humanity, then perhaps it’s not really a “truth”. Perhaps it’s just old-fashioned bigotry.
There’s nothing special about Islam or the Koran. It’s just another religion, and just another holy book. Just like any holy book, it can be interpreted in multiple ways. And just like any holy book, some violent assholes are using it to justify their assholish ways – at the same time that plenty of decent, charitable, and caring people are using it to justify their caring and charitable behavior.
The relative number of the violent assholes doesn’t tell us anything at all about the nature of the religion – it’s easy to find points in history in which there were far more violent-asshole Christians than Muslims. If it’s the reverse at this moment, that’s due to various geo-political and historical factors, not the nature of any particular religion.
^Disagree.
But I am an optimist, I am thinking how the future could be like? For example, in the day and age of smartphone, internet and literacy (literacy rate at 13 years for India is about 99%, meaning almost every young boy n girl be grow up as literate), would Islam be a such a relevant thing in say next 30-50 years?
I am optimistically thinking that easily available internet (through smartphones) could change things in a couple of generations (One generation = 20 years). We can say now with the advent of smartphones, 4g/broadband etc. the internet has truly become universal (maybe not even now)…So I would like a couple of generations to pass on to see the effects…A 13 yo kid would be 53 yrs in 40 years and many older Islamists would have died of old age.
Let’s see. Till such time in future when Islam becomes irrelevant, its good to be honest I would say and accept that Islam is a poison.
You can piss off too, you pedantic asshole.
This is both false and counter-productive. Telling decent people that their religion (and theirs alone), which most decent and peaceful Muslims would claim is the reason for their decency and peacefulness, is “poison”, will just make them more afraid of you and your fellows.
Please direct all your compliments to me only and to no one else.
Seriously, are you having a difficult time in your life? You are in my prayer. God bless.
An admitted coward hiding behind his keyboard is a truly disgusting creature to behold. Something is poisonous here and it ain’t religion. Crawl back into your vile hole, poltroon.
As correctly noted above, the same is true of religion generally.
Your “prayers” are as worthless as your bigoted asinine opinions. You bring shame on your own religion.
The thing is we can’t be sure about Islam. It (the reform) hasn’t happened as yet. Other religions are largely compatible peaceful today. Islam is different from other religions. I can list incidents of horrific mindless bloodshed happening daily happening all over the world in the name of Islam which most people on this board don’t even hear about because obviously none of us is interested in reading similar depressing stuff on daily basis.
Wow, that bullshit story is still on his FB page and his lovers are lapping it up. Trump doesn’t give a shit about “FAKE NEWS!” He and his staff members are some of the biggest sources of it.
There are variations in the degree to which the irrational compartmentalize their irrationality in day-to-day existence. It doesn’t really change things when push comes to shove and they hit the (Dylan) roof.
You see? You see? And you people laughed at el Presidente of la Republica de los Bananas when he told you about all the attacks the very very dishonest media is covering up! Remember Bowling Green!!
Again, you discriminate a lot to come to that conclusion.
And unfortunately you seem to be a part of the ones that stupidly assume that the ones pointing that are defending Islam, nope.
I kinda agree with an atheist that once said that we should bombard the middle east (including Israel) with leaflets containing essays from Bertrand Russell about religion. I’m of the mind that religion will remain for a long time with humanity, but the mission for all more secular people is to ensure that religion **remains **benevolent overall.
