Do you believe in the Western "made-for-mass consumption" notions concerning Islam?

Question

From the beginning, the architects and authors of this junk, have been serving us a buffet of lies surrounding the religion of Islam and its history with the West. Not just out of government mouthpieces, but virtually the entire "fascist neo-con" talk show parade as well as almost every big-name Christian evangelist. Their message has been common and crude: The religion of Islam teaches hatred for all other faiths, most notably the Christian and Judaic.

Yet, they never point to history as proof of their own blind hatred greed and lust for Muslim blood, and the "fury" with which the the Christian West swept across the Mediterranean lands, forcing the conversion of Muslims to their filthy crass culture and pervert life stye at the point of a tank.

Answer 1

I agree with you , and I feel sorry for those who are brainwashed by false propaganda against Islam .
Islam teaches peace , but they want it to appear as an intolerant religion to justify their war against it, and to prove that it's the religion of terrorists.
Malcolm X was a true Muslim, this is why he was killed, they only allow false Muslims to have a chance to talk and spread their words .

Answer 2

According to Islam, the facts concerning the relationship between Muslims Christian and Judaic faith are are these:

1. Within the religion of Islam, Christians and Jews are not considered "infidels" as we have been led to believe. In fact, a cursory study of the Quran will reveal that Christians and Jews are referred to as "peoples of the book," since we are all monotheistic and trace our roots back to Abraham. The term "infidels" is reserved for pagans, or those who do not believe in the One God.

2. Christians and Jews were not "converted by the sword" as is commonly taught and believed. Christians and Jews were allowed to keep and practice their religion within those areas where the Muslims had gained hegemony. Indeed, it was in the interest of the various Muslim leaders and other secular authorities to keep it this way, since non-Muslims were taxed at a higher rate than Muslims. Obvious proof of this tolerance exists today in the fact that in many Islamic countries, including Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Turkey, and Lebanon, there are millions of Christians, and who knows how many churches.

3. The conquest of Islam was not a conquest of religion, but, rather, was done in the same vein as many of the Crusades, i.e., a conquest initiated for the acquisition of territory and political power. In fact, many of the Arabs that fought within the Muslim armies in these wars of conquest were Christians and Jews.

4. The conquest of lands that had been Christian was not the blood-soaked struggle it has been taught to have been. Due to dynastic infighting within the Christian lands over who would rule, as well as problems involving the incompetence, high taxes and corruption within many of the Christian governments, the Christian subjects themselves many times welcomed the Muslim invaders who promised them lower and fairer taxes, more efficiency, and more stability.

5. Those particular passages of the Quran that deal negatively with the Christian religion deal specifically with the doctrine of the Holy Trinity. It is due to the complete devotion to monotheism that the Muslims view the idea of 3 persons to be contradictory and unacceptable.

Answer 3

Well I see you have chosen Malcolm X as your icon - good choice! If there ever was an upstanding black muslim (intentionally not capitalized since he broke with the violent part of the movement) in our nation it was him. It is a shame that the Nation of Islam assassinated him for speaking the truth and that his real killers are out giving hate speeches while his supposed killers (well 2 of them, 1 really was an assassin and admitted he, along with Rev. Farrakhan, was ordered by Elijah Muhammed to kill Malcom X) rot in jail. As with any religion, Islam preaches peace for mankind and an unrelenting war against evil. Also, as with any religion, it is the radicals that cause all the problems.

Answer 4

i attempt to look previous all the hype and see the two facets of any difficulty. You talk a solid sport yet your real innovations are printed by way of words inclusive of, "filthy crass way of existence and pervert existence form" and, "blind hatred greed and lust". we can't substitute historic previous - we are able to purely substitute issues in the present day and interior the destiny. regrettably for the standards you're attempting to make, Islam's very own strikes and inactions of previous due have spoken plenty louder than words. the place is their outrage over the strikes of the terrorists who kill and maim harmless human beings interior the call of their God? We see their outrage over cartoons and we pay attention their dying threats for all of us who questions their believes. we don't even get any reaction from them or their councils international while the United international locations asks them to sentence suicide bombings? regrettably, as continually, strikes do talk louder than words.
