Does it concern you that the Islamic religion teaches to hate the infidels?

Question

and we as Americans are held to a "higher standard" and are made to be "politically correct" to the point where we can't even protect ourselves.

I can not understand how people are so "feel goody" to these people....do they not realize that these people want us all dead? That's ALL of us....even the feel gooders.

Answer 1

Yes it concerns me greatly, we must maintain our humanity I agree, this is why we are not at "total war" over in Iraq, however we have to draw the line with what we are willing to do to win. People here are against profiling, saying bad things about, or even drawing cartoons about them, yet they are in the streets of the UK with signs saying they are taking over and they willl kill all the infidels.
People alive today are not accustomed to living in times of war, they want their starbucks and are fighting for hman rights when in fact they are fighting for the people who wish to kill them based on religious dogma which went out of date a thousand years ago.

Answer 2

YES... it does bother me when any religion teaches it's followers to hate anyone. I do not know much about Islam and I will not comment on the fact that that is what it teaches... I have a friend who is Muslim and I will simply ask her that.

i think sometimes , just as in our own religions, we misinterpret some teachings and i think that Islam may have people who are guilty of the same thing.
Radicals that read the holy book and interpret it to mean much different than in does..


After all, we used to burn witches in the name of
God too, didn't we. Our religious history is not so clean either. Perhaps Islam just has not come far enough into the modern world yet.

These are only opinions, I really do not know. But I would like to. And i challenge anyone who practises Islam to please explain.

Thank you.

Like the holy texts of most religions the Quran is filled with apparent contradictions. In other words, you can pick what you like and ignore all else.

Sort of like Christians do. Was Jesus the Prince of Peace, or did he come to bring not peace but a sword?

Or Deut 7:6, where the old Israelites thought that God elevated them to a place above all others, and thus much of the Old Testament is replete with the slaughter of other tribes by the one suposedly "chosen by God."

I'd suggest a course, or at least a book, on Comparitive Religion. You may then want to curtail the kind of reckless statements that sound like they come from a talk show king who was convicted of taking illegal drugs.

Answer 4

No, it concerns me that ignorant presumptions are paraded around as fact. Even if your premise were true, which it is not, doesn't Christianity itself hold a Christian to a higher standard? I would guess from your question, that either you are not Christian, or begrudge God for the responsibility He has given you.

Answer 5

Does it concern you that the Christian religion has people who wear their heads shaved and bomb abortion clinics claiming that they are Christian. And that they are held to a ´higher standard´ because most people with brains know that they are just a few crazy nutty people??? Research buddy, that is one line from the Quran. Some people would NEVER hurt another living person, and that is regardless of whether they are Muslim, Arab, Christian, American, or so forth. And for the dumbdumbs that seem to overpopulate this forum...¿how come we never hear that all Muslims love and respect Jesus as a prophet and that Arabs are semites too? Because somebody clogged the gene pool and started a forum, that´s why. A little research never hurts, buddy boy. Go to the library and get a clue. Abwoooosh, over and out.

Answer 6

quran isn't illiberal e book by utilising any stretch of mind's eye yet in few madrassa or mosque some polytical muslim leaders could be preaching hateredness that's thoroughly against islam yet which would be in very few worldwide places and extremely few places i dont think of it;s everywhere whether u want to have self assurance it;s everywhere u could desire to no longer decide islam based upon those ignorant followers u could desire to decide islam upon the quran and hadiths

Answer 7

I don't think the Koran is any more violent than the Christian Bible where god is vengeful and people are encouraged to kill, maim, sacrific children and animals, drown their children, murder women, torture men, etc.

Religion, by it's very nature, is violent. Each religion states that theirs is the "only true belief, only true god" and anyone who thinks differently should be destroyed.

I refer you to a couple of examples: The Crusades in Europe, the Spanish Inquisition, the invasion of the Franciscan monks in the "New World", the Salem witch trials.

Islam doesn't have the market cornered on hatred and violence....

Answer 8

Hey Nassim!! The incidents of Christian violence in the modern era are few. Abortion clinics or Timothy McVie are probably the only cases you can come up with. Violence all over the world can be directly linked to radical Islam. All over Europe they fight (France & Spain) All over Asia and Russia they are in battles (Phillipines, Indonesia) Tell me Islam is a religion of peace and ill show you a bridge in Brooklyn for sale. It seems that there are quite a few Muslims that are willing to kill for their religion and not enough willing to denounce those who believe in doing so.

Answer 9

It concerns me that all major religions religions except Buddhism think the same thing. It's just the press is currently focusing on Islamic extremism.

Answer 10

Any form of religious fundamentalism that teaches any form of hatred toward another person concerns me.
