Why is it that some people just wont accept the truth and keep on hammering on old worn out ideas and questions, like the one going on about muslims...

i think your question is quiet controversial but it's good.
1.first thing is that , it depends on the society in which they have been brought up.likely in the case of religion . did u get it....
as they have been stuffed up with all superstitiousness, which they maintained throughout generations and stick to thier own ideas.
2.and another is with prejudice.people argue even though they doesn't mean the right for their position and not to get degraded.
what ever it may be!if their objections are wrong ,may have to accept it at time,and at times the old worn out ideas may turn out to be the new dimensions.

The West is familiar with the history of slavery in the new world. It was sinful and terrible, and it lasted for several hundred years. And it was abolished mainly through the efforts of Christians in England (Wilberforce, Clarkson) and America (the Abolitionists, primarily Protestant).
However, few people in the west know about Islam and slavery. Most would be surprised that Islam authorizes the taking of slaves as spoils of war. From the days that Muhammad drew his sword to rob and conquer non-Muslims to this very day, Muslims have been taking non-Muslims, and even other black Muslims, as slaves.
Muslims were enslaving black Africans long before any slave ships sailed for the New World. Muslims were taking and making slaves all over the lands they had conquered. Later, when slave ships were loaded with black slaves, often, a Muslim slave broker had the human cargo all ready to go. American slavers rarely had to go into inland to capture slaves, they were already waiting there, courtesy of some Muslim ruler, and/or slave broker! In many cases, if the black slaves were not sent to the New World, they were sent to the Mideast to be enslaved by Arabs, or kept by other black Muslims as slaves.

1. They have nothing better to do.
2. They are too dumb to check things out before postings.
3. They have no feeling of self worth, so they have to have
someone to look down on-makes them feel important.
4. They like to post things they think will shock, or make
people angry..........how child-like!
5. When it is against the religion, I think it is because they are
not comfortable with their own religion (do not fully
fully accept it), and are trying to boost their religious
beliefs by knocking other beliefs.
6. And, there are some just plain mean people out there.

somebody report that death incarnate guy. BUt as for your question, I'll do some Boethius rendetion:
In the experience of popular opinion, accepted beliefs strike and impinge upon the instruments of discrimation, and accepted beliefs precede mental activity, a belief that causes a reaction in the mind and forces a judgment of discrimination, if, I say, a being was free of all popular opinions, he could formulate his beliefs free of all current opinions and judge of his own accord the beliefs subject to his mentality.
In other words, think how you want to think and leave the other thinking to other people.

For the simple reason that we are all different. We would never be able to all be or think the same way, for what is truth for one, is not necessarily truth for another. We should instead focus not on what is truth for us, but appreciate the interesting differences that makes us human. To live comfortably, one should accept differences, not fear them.

There is only one Supreme Being or God or Allah or whatever you want to call it. But different religions claim "my God is better than your God." Which is so ironic because there is only one God. Why do people insist on claiming there is a different God for every faith? The only thing I know for sure...if there is a God, why would he want you to kill or hate anyone in His name?
