Jan 30, 2017 i mean, it obviously does something positive--are we going to have to go on a tangent about the importance of aesthetics and language? about how calling racism "racism" codified those beliefs as something to be railed against?
Jan 30, 2017 I don't really think it does. I would rather have an intelligent conversation about some of the problems of Islam, and the Islamic world rather than just labeling it as Islamophobia. If someone goes off with the Islamophobia acccusation - it tends to shut down the conversation before it gets started. This has happened many many times. For me it's a conversation about an ideology that hasn't been very positive to the world in general.
Jan 30, 2017 Hardly exclusive to Islam, btw. Religions in general are responsible for all sorts of violence and division, some worse than others.
Jan 30, 2017 IMPORTANT NOTE : The study is mainly based amongst the % of Muslims who support Sharia Law, the vast majority of Muslims do NOT support this law. Other questions were asked to a small portion of the country (E.g ''Only 5 southern provinces) Additionally it is curious to see that not 100% of Sharia supporters believe in those barbaric practices... With that being said, I do not like nor dislike Islam. As every Religion it has beautiful tradition and art (patrimony) which must be conserved for humanity. However, I want Religion separate from my state function and Government as a whole. Feel free to practice, but without being intrusive/oppressive on the life of others.
Jan 30, 2017 Cool, now give me a message for people with common sense who are not left/liberals. I am a catholic, I am not very fond of Islam as it is expanding its way into Europe almost forcefully... however, I believe it is the right for everyone to practice their own religion as long as they do not interfere with other people's lifes. Fair and Simple.
Jan 30, 2017 Hitler, Stalin and Pol pot were athiest, yet they cause the most damage to the earth in the last 100 years
Jan 30, 2017 This is what most Americans think through mainstream media, 1- Jihad original definition is: the spiritual struggle within oneself against sin. however, it became used mostly for martial fights. and Quraan literally says : "Don't start a war" , also Christians & Jews are the only religions Muslims are allowed to marry (How can islam allow marrying Christians then say bomb them?) What u mean is Political islamists, which is the trashy Isis and as gold shown u the graph they are very small minority: There are Chinese terrorists, there are White mass Shooters, there are Black criminals......... we can't control these r-----s who use the religion in our name I talked about Sharia in my previous reply:
Jan 30, 2017 exactly, I hate people who shove their beliefs in ur throat, I just noticed a lot of conversations about the topic and wanted to share and know others POV
Jan 30, 2017 Because I haven't researched it at all but when people around me start talking in strange languages I get scared and 'murica
Jan 30, 2017 not a fan of islam for a lot of reasons, some of which are a problem with other religions as well (though those ones are too p---- to act on it)
Jan 30, 2017 Well, technically my man... Religion can be seen as the blind faith in unproven ideals. Hitler's ideals which he firmly believed made his Nazism a d--- Religion. So yeah, Religion has been damaging the world, that is why fanaticism and extremism bring no good to the table... moderate religion can cope with modern society, extremism is terrible
Jan 30, 2017 Yesterday Mosque was shot by 3 white men, yet we didn't hear people calling all white terrorists If muslims shot church, then many would call all muslims terrorist :/
