If you cannot recognize that Islam has a unique problem with violence far beyond any other organized faith, then we just can't really have a conversation.
I'm willing to recognize their problem with violence is, at present, bigger than other faiths'.
Things I am not willing to recognize:
-
That it is uniqueThe Life of a Conquering Warlord = Muhammad's Quran
Quote:
- That those committing the violence are indicative of the religion or ethnicity as a whole.
They are replicating the teachings and practices of Muhammad himself.
Quote:
- That Christianity is without fault (something, something, casting the first stone, something, something Jesus' teachings)
Without Muhammad's religious persecution, Christianity never becomes as widespread and powerful as it is today.
Quote:
- That I should treat peaceful members of the religion as anathema because an extremely small percentage of their faith is committed to using it as an excuse for violence.
Understanding the life of Muhammad and his cult religion is still important nonetheless. I can only imagine just how many ppl lost thier lives due to Muhammad's holy war..... Muhammad is dead but his will lives on. Unfortunately.
Quote:
The problem isn't what I'm unwilling to recognize. It's what those who want to push against the entirety of the religion refuse to recognize as antithetical to their proposed beliefs and grievances regarding the treatment of their own beliefs.
Without Jesus you are a brainwashed slave to Allah just like the rest of them.
The Crusades did not happen by accident. I'm not a Christian religious fanatic. I'm more obsessed with studying history and religious figures trying to find the truth.
Quote:
You can't say of Christian extremists or wrongdoers "don't judge all of Christendom by the actions of a few" and then turn around and blame Islam -- not the select extremist organizations -- for the actions of terrorists.
Total BS here... Jesus did not lead armies conquering, slaughtering, killing anyone and everyone who did not believe in him. Smh Jesus =/= Muhammad and that is extremely important to understand and not ignore. Christian extremists do things on thier own without Jesus promoting such actions. Muhammad condones and authorizes bloodshed. Muhammad wants you dead. Jesus wants you safe and alive. BIG difference there.....
