Living with Islam

by fulltimestudent in

indonesia is a large nation to the north of australia.

more than 250 million people live there, and around 204 million (88%) are muslim.

the indonesian armed forces have nearly a million personnel, either as active servicemen or reservists.. australia, with a population of 23 million, and an armed forces of 80,000 (active and reservist), has no choice but to live in co-operation with indonesia, though the relationship is sometimes strained.

I agree. The solution is for mankind to finally evolve out of believing all these fairytales.

I think ruby is being way too apologetic for Islam. There are really 3 things unique to Islam that everyone should dig a little deeper on.

Jihad
Sharia
Mohammed

This jihad "violent struggle" idea is not something radicals made up. It's a real part of the religion. Sharia speaks all for itself. And the supposed founder Mohammed was a pedophile warrior prophet. Like the bible the Quran has war and slavery but also beheadings, wife beating, mutilation, torture and pedophilia. No Abrahamic religion deserves reverence, the religions of the desert god have caused immeasurable harm to this world. I believe Islam embodies the worst of all three.

And loveuni I can understand it either, the same people here who denounce jws daily can't say Islam is a sick twisted religion. Blows my mind. I think there is some cliche liberal bandwagon that's makes people feel good defending Islam like they are fighting racism or bigotry. If you support Islam you are actually supporting the biggest bigot group in the world!

I happen to know Ken and his wife. I have to say forcing oneself to believe greater and greater stupidity seems to be taking a toll. Sadly for bethel heavies of this age their life is 80-90% over and I think they will go down believing with the ship.

I'm not sure how a witnesses can listen to these "logical" gymnastics (about the baptism date) and not feel totally uncomfortable. There is a heavy underlying current of blundering confusion.

Village I think that is a religious hell hole. But I don't know what part of the country you are in but the populous parts are not. Not by any stretch. It's awful but it's small.

Sharia law a major part of Islam violates everything democracy stands for. We could easily admit not all forms of government are equal and some are even dangerous. Religion is no different.

Village idiot. These guys aren't going anywhere. I'm sorry but they aren't. The fact they merely exist means little. What is your point??? Religions is full of dangerous bad ideas can you admit one might be more dangerous than another?

I'm sure plenty here have read the bible, or major parts of it. How many are as familiar with the quran?

I'd have to say if there was a hate scale the Quran would be worse than the bible. And when taken as literal is more encouraging of proactive murder of unbelievers etc. And again the leadership pushes the ideology and Islam radicals are the leadership, can anyone tell me different?

Also not sure what history repeating itself has to do with the danger of islamic ideas?

A religion is only as good as its leadership

JW has the gb

Catholics have the pope

Islam has Extremists for leadership

Now you tell me how to fix that? Many world religions have softened with the leadership. The leadership of Islam is NOT the moderates. The leadership still promotes ideas that are harmful to women, homosexuals, unbelievers, and apostates. Like physically harmful.

What if history repeating itself us Islam torturing and killing in the name of God. History repeating itself does have to be the same religion. Islam is repeating the past mistakes of Christianity if you will. But when they were burning heritics and killing unbelievers most people were illiterate and it was totally the people doing it. Now most can read the bible and decide for themselves jesus didn't tell his followers to behead infidels as Mohammed did.

Can someone tell me is it possible for one book or one religion to be more inflammatory or dangerously interpreted than the other? Or are they exactly the same?

Sorry village idiot. These people you speak of are amateurs compared to Islam.

Let me sound like a broken record. The central influence and theocracy of Christianity is not good but pretty benign. The nuts are on the fringe.

Islam is the opposite. The central influence is the nuts and the moderates are the powerless fringe that had no influence on the actual religion. Does anyone else understand this at all????

Christianity is on clear decline regardless of some inbred wackos. Islam is growing. If you will believe absurdities you can be used to commit atrocities.
