Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About The “Religion” Of Islam


Recommended Posts

Sorry you don't understand English. I don't have time to reviews what I write, this is just passing time here and there. Regardless it is easy to see my point I made, the non Muslim people in IT I work with from the region near India want nothing to do with the Muslims. That tells me something.

 

My 120K does just fine, along with all the other adults that understand how cruel the culture of Islam really is towards women, children, and gay people. Go back to fantasy land and not filling your gas tank up all the way.

 

I see we have a bunch of non thinking ball lickers here, and a few that have no life outside of this board like DC Tom, a basement dweller who likes having his back rubbed by other basement dwellers. Grow up.

 

You know, in mentioning post number 26 in this thread earlier I threw you a lifeline, one that you could have used to either make one of your opponents here feel either a little uneasy or at least turned this into a spirited but meaningful conversation. You need to back your "facts" up with links, studies, etc.

 

Oh, and BTW your 120k doesn't compare with my 401k.

So much homophobia. Goes will with the gist of the thread. I think I'll have a falafel and go to bed.

Because you already admitted that since there was no reformation in the Islamic religion, and that it was controlled by fanatics still. Any skillfull debater would have you on the hot seat over that. Not only did the mall security guy not get it the first time, he probably won't get it after it has been spelled out to him.

Why would I be on the hot seat over that? Any debater who tried would have their ass handed to them for not being able to distinguish between Muslim people - who asshat paints with a broad brush - and Muslim society - on which I make valid sociological and historical observations.

OK, how about if we adults turn this discussion:

 

How many ethnic groups are in each of the following countries ...

 

Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, Myanmar, Laos, Viet Nam, Malaysia, Jordan, Israel, Egyph, Senegal, Morocco, Libya, Tunisia, Ethiopia, Syria, Lebanon, Croatia, Serbia, ...

 

What's the difference between Shia Islam as practiced by the rulling Class of Iran and Shia Islam as practiced in the United States? How many different types of Sufism are there?

 

The "argument" being made in this thread is falaciously reductive and disingenuous. There is no single, great, overarching Islamic philosophy responsible or contributory to the violence being discussed. It's just not that simple, though the simple people (we all know who they are) discussing it must reduce it in this way to cram it neatly into their world view, and spare themselves having to think too hard.

 

Persians resent the Byzantine Empire. Kurds resent the British Empire. Almost everyone from Libya to Malaysia resents the Ottoman and British Empires. The Persian Gulf resents the United States (although that's mostly a target opportunity). And across the span of the Islam majority countries, there are thousands of ethnic groups with thousands of reasons to be either totally pissed off or totally disinterested in the conflict.

 

It is wholely absurd to ascribe the actions and motivations of a minority to that whole. Yet Paul Blart is completely butt-hurt over having this absurdity pointed out, and shown that he is being silly, reductive, and xenophobic.

 

If one doesn't like having it pointed out that they are being silly, reductive, and xenophobic; then they should look inward. Failing that, there's really nothing more to be said.

Other than making an observation that Islam is still lead by fanatics and missed out on the reformations? I said that if he was skilled (or not just a dumbass) he could make you a little uncomfortable or have to weasel your way out.

No he wouldn't.

No, he hasn't. He refuses to view the economic underpinnings of these regions, or their internal political states (largely despotic, which actively rely on social oppression to sustain themselves), or education levels of the populace, or the fact that most of the cultures in these areas of the world are still tribal nomadic.

 

He also doesn't consider the Women's Rights movement right here in his own back yard, and that we franchised our own women less than 100 years ago.

I wasn't going to get into this but are you really comparing giving woman the right to vote, which was done a century ago, to the currant Islamic practice of stoning woman to death for adultery? Your whole post is a mess really. Despots, many of whom are now gone, caused Muslims to call for international Jihad? Why didn't the Christian people of south America living under iron fisted military dictatorships for generations, call for the world wide death of all non believers? Who was the despot in Afghanistan when the Taiban formed? Why Mullah Omar. Was he US supported? No he was picked by people who wanted exactly what he did, a return to the 7th century.

Mostly nomadic? Do you really believe modern day Saudi and Iran are mostly nomadic?

“What is more, no wise man, men trained in things divine and human, believed in him (Muhammad) from the beginning. Those who believed in him were brutal men and desert wanderers, utterly ignorant of all divine teaching, through whose numbers Mohammed FORCED others to become his followers by the violence of his arms.”

This post is absolutely hilarious.

 

I'll leave it to the reader to figure out why, for now.

In other words you cannot defend your post and so insult the poster who called you on it. That is your style so no shock there. You might try actully disputing my post point by point if you can Can you or are jokes and insults all you got?

You haven't "called me" on anything. Rather, you've managed to showcase your lack of geopolitical understanding and displayed either a penchant for willful ignorance or an absolute absence of reading comprehension.

 

If you'd like to participate in this discussion with me, scroll up, read post #93, and respond intelligently to it. Otherwise sit the !@#$ back down, because you're miles out of your depth here.
