Sharia Law & Muslims

Jul 13, 2009 10:01

Sharia Law--it's not just for Muslims, anymore!

As a long-time student of Comparative World Religions, I have made every attempt I can to be open-minded about people's beLIEfs and cultures. I've embraced (and often, practiced and/or tried) a great many Paths that most Humies would find utterly repugnant, disgusting, &/or perverse. But I have ( Read more... )

Islam is a religion that's definitely hard for me to stomach at points, that's for sure. But I am unsure of the point you are trying to make except to broadbrush.

Of course most Muslims are terrorists. And I'm half Irish and half-German, so I suppose I must be a drunk, and a white supremacist. Go me.

I'm not sure the point of this post, either ;-) Call it a "rant," or "me working through the cognitive dissonance of supporting Religions and yet seeing the violence done in the name of Islam," or something else, or none of the above.

The Title of my LJ is "Reflections," after all. Most of the time, that's all I'm doing, so having "a point" is not always the Intent behind my Reflections here.

Of course most Muslims are terrorists.I'm not saying that "most Muslims are terrorists," but I find the popularity of Hate-speech Muslim leaders to be appalling. Their treatment of women (I won't mention "sexual deviants" as they'd define them) is simply abhorrent. Simply put, as "Islam" is a "Religion," and a "Religion" is a Socio-Cultural 4th Circuit thing ("Spirituality" is "Religion minus the Socialization," in my semantics), they need (at the very least) better PR people. They need to condemn the leaders spreading the hate, and not, e.g., democratically elect ( ... )

Well, simply put--the hate-speech Muslim leaders get all the PR, especially in the West. And you have to admit, suicide bombing is a very effective measure to get said PR. Perhaps, instead of broadbrushing Islam as a whole, we should focus on those factions of Islam that push fundamentally harmful ideals ( ... )

I'm not going to assume this is the case with all of Islam--just like I'm not going to assume that all Christians are bible-thumping, sheepish maniacs (though again, those are the ones often in the news, or that some of us CHOOSE to pay attention to, because they fit our narrow worldview of what said religion should be like.

I agree with this.

Wow. I guess that pretty much proves my point right there--we're not talking a small minority, but roughly half of the population in entire regions of the world.

My Muslim Respect-o-Meter is plummeting even faster...

BTW, I like the "support suicide bombing of civilians" part, since damn near every suicide bombing I've heard of generally only includes civilians.

Way to go, Muslim Fucks.

Yeah and this is the backwards disgusting religion that Obama considers to be worthy of respect and claims that it has a 'tradition of tolerance' I dare him to try to tell that to an Armenian, a Copt, Greek or Jew. Below the sorta people Obama and co. consider worthy of respect:

Read the Surah of the Sword, Surah 9 of the Quran. The moderate Muslims are the people who chose not to follow such advice in the Quran (i.e. they are good people despite Islam not because of it) as ( ... )

Also this site:

thereligionofpeace.com

Is quite good, I'm a big fan of this page:

And don't even get me started on the 'golden age of Islam' myth.

benwaymd July 16 2009, 13:58:40 UTC

LOL, looks like the dhimmis and the Islamic apologists have got their way and have had this page, frontpagemagazine and jihadwatch banned from being accessed from work. Apparently freedom of speech does not apply to critics of Islam.

We need to make 'Zelijko Raznotovic was right' t-shirts. ;)

Jews only invading the west bank? You don't listen to the news much do you? Anyway, traditions in religion can be changed overnight. The problem with religion is much the same as in politics, that people are in fact so easily swayed, and this is done by elders making creative interpretations, literal interpretations, or completely fabricated presentation of biblical fact as it suites them ( ... )
