Are you frustrated with the special treatment Muslims get on YA?

Question

Here's a question of mine which got flagged and penalized:

"But Christians have been engaged in critical study of the Bible for hundreds of years. Only a fringe of fundamentalists regard the Bible as inerrant, as literally the word of God. No mainstream scholars regard the atrocities depicted in the Old Testament as God's word or God's will; they regard them as a semi-historical record of the Jewish people expressing the thoughts of their scribes and prophets about their historical experience. You, however, refuse to engage in critical study of the Qur'an; scholars who do so in the Islamic world are issued death threats. The vast majority of Muslims cling to the medieval superstition that every word was inscribed in heaven, that it is inerrant. You need to join the modern world, and subject your sacred texts and traditions to the same critical secular standards that have enabled the west to emerge from the barbarism of religious intolerance."

That's insulting? WTF?

Actually, it was an answer, not a question.

Isn't religious intolerance "barbaric"? And what I said about "the vast majority of Muslims" (not *all* Muslims, please note) and the fatwas against critical scholarship are *facts.* Maybe reality is what's insulting to Muslims.

Answer 1

LMAO!!

Welcome to the Club!

Let me clue you in to some facts.

First of all, Muslims indoctrinate the kid’s right from the word "Go"!?

A 6 year old Muslim kid can recite the Arabic Koran, even though he or she has no clue as to what it means!?

Guess what happens to the their brains?

Then you have them all praying in the "graceful" posterior raised manner, 5 times a day!? Where their Imams scream out a Hate speech condemning all "infidels", 5 times a day!?

Guess how sane you'll be when you go through this for all of your life?

Do you see them with flecks of foam at the ends of their mouths? No wonder about it!? You'd be, too; if you went through all this day and day out, 24/7, 365 days of the year.

Have you read their Koran?

I have and I speak Arabic. So I know what I'm talking about when I pile into them. And, they hate that. They can't take on a guy who knows all about them and can cut through their crap.

So, guess what? "Report Abuse" button! Violation Notices. Answers deleted left, right and center. Points deducted!

Yet, I'm level 4!

So, hang in there, buddy!

The Truth will ever Triumph!

Merry Christmas!!!!

Edit:

Idaho Mike is right, by the way.

I have a very good friend of mine who no longer comeas to Yahoo and has recovered his money from them with out of Court settlements and will not touch Yahoo with a bargepole. He was a level 6 with 1,800 Best Answers, and he had his account suspended for his replying one Question posted by a Muslim which exalted Islam and ran down Christians and America. He's an ex-Marine and a Roman Catholic, who'd studied Arabic, been in Desrt Storm and knew the Koran very well. He tore into them with his Answer and they retaliated by suddenly terminating his account.

Now, he wasn't the kind of guy to take things lying down so he threw out the Yahoo connection and sued them. Since he's an American, he got them quickly offering all kinds of compensation to stay out of Court because of the Publicity it would get them.

You might need to be a bit careful.

This is a disposable account, to me; and I don't use Yahoo. Never will.

Answer 2

I think you have been deceived a little . The Bible is the most scholarly and critically analyzed document on this planet. "All" mainstream Bible scholars regard it as the inerrant Word of God-you have been misinformed or you are just plain lying on this part.

Now what about the Koran??? Why don't you read "Islam Revealed" by Dr Annis Shorrosh. He is an ex-Muslim with two (2) earned doctorates in religion. He was born and raised in Palestine. I can promise you that Dr Shorrosh would know at least as much about Mohammad and the Koran as anyone. The Koran has been subjected to critical analysis-and it has not fared very well. It has been exposed as a fabrication.

I would suppose that your violation came from the first part of you question -not the last part.

Answer 3

I don't think that Muslims get "special treatment"; deletions come from user complaints.

Other questions about other religions get deleted, too.

If you're really asking why your question got reports filed on it, I don't know. But then, I don't know why a LOT of questions or answers get reported.

I will report grossly insulting questions that I notice, and not just those aimed at one religion.

But I don't read every question.

And for all you know, what got you reported was a fundie objecting to THIS part:

"Only a fringe of fundamentalists regard the Bible as inerrant, as literally the word of God. No mainstream scholars regard the atrocities depicted in the Old Testament as God's word or God's will; they regard them as a semi-historical record of the Jewish people expressing the thoughts of their scribes and prophets about their historical experience."

Answer 4

Your answer was a very well written insult. Obviously you have been buying into the propaganda against Islam and focusing on a fringe element of the religion. I am sure that if you get your information from varied sources and not stick solely to the American or Christian rhetoric, you would never again present such a warped view of that religion.

Did you ever realize that Islam is the most modern version of the three major western religion. Christianity began about 500 years before Islam and Judaism thousands of years before that. So relying on medieval thinking is more acceptable that relying on ancient wisdom.

Another thing to consider is that when Latin Europe was in the dark ages, Islamic culture was flourishing. So medieval times for the Muslims was a time of enlightenment while the Latin Europeans were a small step above barbaric savages.

Answer 5

They aren't getting "precise healing" since they don't seem to be being allowed to do matters that some other faith can not do. The faculties are granting concessions and scheduling breaks to deal with their devout demands in which the colleges had or have been going to have a holiday besides. Because if you are going to have a fifteen minute holiday -- and it concerns to 1 institution whilst it occurs however does not topic to some other institution whilst it occurs -- then it does now not damage to deal with them. And within the San Diego case, some other faith can pray even as -- no precise healing. As for George Mason -- the scholars are utilizing an area already set apart for religious train. And the separation isn't being pressured through the tuition, it is totally the option of the practitioners. As for UMich-Dearborn, that is arguably an unconstitutional use of public finances to pay for devout lodging that no different religions is getting. But I have not checked the info of that case, so I have no idea the main points to do a correct evaluation. But recall that during Dearborn, the Arabic/Muslim populace is over 30% of the whole pupil populace.

Answer 6

Nobody likes to have outsiders consulting on their religion. They may have more fundamentalists in the middle east (and for that matter Indonesia) or they may just not place the legal strictures on them that the west does.

Fundamentalism, the belief that some book written over 1000 years ago, based on what is maybe, maybe not the best science of that day is the infallible word of an imaginary being is just dangerous. It doesn't matter if you're a fundamendalist Muslim, Christian or Zoroastrian.

Answer 7

No, that is not insulting if read in the way in which you clearly meant the question to be taken. I assume that you are asking why an ancient tract can not be analysed and discussed in the light of advances in the understanding of historical and religious thoughts. Nothing wrong with that as far as I can see - though you might receive some contrary replies!

Answer 8

Well, because the only ones who have to be politically correct, and the only ones it's OK to insult, threaten to kill, etc. are white people, Christians, and of course Americans. We're fair game for every race, religion, creed. But we can't speak our minds about anyone else, without being penalized, sued, our flag dragged on the ground and burned.

Answer 9

I guess that makes me a "fundamentalist", because I believe the Old and New Testaments are the literal Word of God.

Anyway YA is PC to the extreme, so the only view penalized usually is mine.

Answer 10

I'm afraid I have to agree with you.

I pointed out that Ayesha (one of the prophet's wives) was only six when she was married - and then when was 9 - he consumated the marriage.

I explained that in most Countries of the world, such an act is called paedophilia - bingo my answer was removed.

The sad thing is that it is EXACTLY this type of censorship and "positive discrimination" which breeds more dislike and distrust.

Was my answer pulled because I dared to tell the truth ?

It will be interesting to see if the question gets pulled first- or my answer! :)
