Will the idiots who vote thumbs down on any post suggesting that Islam is violent, PLEASE do one thing:?

Question

Go to the bookstore, buy a Koran, buy the Hadiths, read up on Muhammad's life and times, and see for yourself.

Arguing that Muhammad wasn't a pirate and a ruthless killer is like arguing that Blackbeard wasn't a pirate and a ruthless killer.

Just because he held himself out to be a prophet too doesn't mean his actions and words should be ignored.

(1) Who said I was Christian?

(2) How is it hateful to point out that someone who killed tens of thousands of people killed tens of thousands of people????? It's a FACT.

Would it be hateful to say that the Nazis were anti-semitic and violent? Of course not. Well the Koran says the same things about the Jews that Goebbels did.

Google "Guraiza" why don't you.

OK Bush, there might be some details lost in translation - - - does it say hit them in the head or cut off their heads. But seriously, this isn't a question of nuance - - - repeatedly the book says to kill the unbelievers. And that's what Muhammad DID.

No, I will not "shut my trap up" - - - it's not hateful to call a spade a spade, a mass-murder a mass-murderer.

Muhammad was a mass-murderer, and he commanded his followers to follow suit.

Innocent go to hell, Islam is a religion, not a race. A man who killed tens of thousands of people, who raided villages and massacred the men, kept some of the women and sold the rest of the women and the children into slavery was violent. Why is that racist to say?

And "if you want to interpret it that way????" How else can one interpret "kill the unbelievers wherever you may find them" and "cut their heads and fingertips off????"

pip "credentials"???? I've read the Koran and most of the Hadiths. I've read up on Muhammad, his life and times. What "credentials" do I have to call Hitler a mass-murderer? Blackbeard? John Wayne Gacy?

Answer 1

You may be preaching on deaf ears.

The democrats like to hold hands light candles sing Kum Ba Yah and say we love you.

They think everyone no matter how bad they are is good.

Answer 2

That the Prophet Muhammad may have been involved in killing people and/or taking away their women and children is something that can never be proven.

What is important to note that He brought about Islam in a period of great turbulance in the west asia-egypt-palestine belt.

He sought to correct the grave and heinous acts of the marauding bandits that ruled the roost, took away girls & women of the not-so-powerful, establishing huge harems; looted and pillaged at will-- effectively cutting off all trade and other land links between the Orient--India, China and the west.

Ordinary folk had no option but to kill their new born girl child in order to save them from certain rape/kidnapping by these bandits. They were left with hardly any women, food or assets.

He had no option but to fight these bigots and eliminate them and their line of thought. Those who did not beleive in limiting their harem to 4, who stole, looted , raped or kidnapped; who did not believe in God -- were sought to be eliminated. The women folk so liberated were re-settled with other families. Some of His lieutinants may have indulged in buy and sell of them.

Some sets of rules had to be made- for the good of the masses.
What would a man of substance given those circumstances do?? Guess the same.

What is, however, intriguing is that the Sultans and emirs conyinued to have huge harems while professing to Islam-- yet they were considered holy warriors.

Whole lot of looting, raping, kidnapping bandits called themselves armies of Islam- and perepetrated all types of crimes against humanity.

The present scenario where a significant majority of terrorist and un human dastardly acts are perpetrated by people declaring themselves messiahs/warriors of Islam is a continuation of those dark ages.

Apparently, the teachings of the Prophet have not been understood in true SPIRIT by a sizeable number of muslim scholars -- who further skew them and mis interpret them-- due may be to their half baked knowledge, wrong interpretation(s) or simply vested interests.

A simple thing to remember is that Christainity[Catholicism] too witnessed a very long period where similar acts were committed by the clergy or their henchmen in the name of the GOD. CRUSADES [Christian version of Jehad] were equally bad, if not worse. Millions were looted, raped, kidnapped and enslaved in the name of the Christ. The clergy indulged in all sorts of orgies, misdemeanours and ransom-- giving rise to the various reformist movements-- the more famous being the PROTESTANT movement-- The Roman Catholics were hence forced to reform themselves too.

You never know if the BOOKs said to be written/dictated by the original seers/prophets of any religion have been subsequently doctored by the powers that be to serve their vested interests.

Religious hatred is not taught by any great religion, be it Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Buddhism or any other.


By the way , I m NOT an Islamist, nor a follower of Islam. I am a true Indian Hindu-- a religion that teaches tolerance towards all-- hate the Sin, not the sinner; and universality of the ALMIGHTY despite HIS various avataars/ names. We respect all religions.

Answer 3

As everyone is so quick to point out- every religion has references of violence in their text.

The one thing that sets Islam apart is that we can find real images of this violence from religious text put into practice today, in the 21 st century.

Not many religions can boast such bloody and violent images just by typing their name into a search engine- can they?

Answer 4

Radical Islam can be violent. The dominant Wahhabi sect in Saudi Arabia approves of and encourages violence against Westerners.

If you were really against violent radical Muslim terrorists, you would voice your displeasure with the Bush Administration's ties to a country that harbors a very large population of them. Isn't GOP respect for the Saudi wealth that invests heavily in US corporations pathetic?

Answer 5

truthisback: Just let the others have a look for themselves at the results of a "peaceful" and "tolerant" Islam:

Most of the video and still photos come from Mohammedan sources, so who can argue with that???

Answer 6

Perhaps they should just read the article on Yahoo News about the people that have been murdered during the religious pilgrimage to Karbala.

And wouldn't you just love to punch one of these idiots in the face when they call you a racist for no reason?

Answer 7

I'm just curious.. what are your credentials? You always attack Islam.. do you have a degree in Theology or something? I don't know why you feel you have to convince the rest of the world that Islam is violent.. but considering that my degree is in psychology, I find it rather interesting.


People don't deny that there are some violent people who do violent things in the name of the Prophet... we just don't deny that there are those that don't.


Edit: Religion isn't as simple as that... what your saying would be like saying "Hey, I've read up on nuclear physics.. let me take a crack at that reactor."

Answer 8

You can find passages in te sacred texts of any religion--including Christianity--that can be distorted to cclaim that religion is 'violent."

And allreligions--including Islam and Christianity--have their violent fanatics and bigots-who are a disgrace totheir religions and are not true followers.

You can identify these scum easily-they are the only people who try to smear the majority of decent people of other religions by labeling them as "violent," "immoral," or whatever.

And doing that iswrong--it doesn't matter who the speaker is or who their intended victim is. People who do that are bigots and bullies--and that's all they are.

Answer 9

I won't argue with you. There is proof right now that Islam is violent. Why would anyone say otherwise?

Answer 10

I don't argue that at all,but as a religion that is essentially a rip-off of Judaism,as is Christianity,I think you'll find the same old violent,vengeful God and followers.

Face it,the "Religions of The Book" are founded on murder,rape,theivery,bigotry,
incest,etc.

They're all a load of crap,meant as justifications for stupidity on the part of their practitioners.
