It can be very problematic when it is transplanted into Western society. I don't know too much about all of the different sects but Wahhabism/Salafism need to be wiped out
It's a shithole of a religion. I really mean that.
>>32717247
Well I suggest you read both. The Qoran has a very different approach to the omni present god compared to Christianity. I think the Qoran would be worth reading. I don't have time to read a lot of stuff but I read some of the Qoran and I thought it is not that much of a rule book nor is it a mythology book. If you read the Qoran and then read a bit of Sufi stuff like Ibn Arabi or Mesnewi you can have a deeper understanding of true Islam.
I think Muslims in the Middle Ages and later invented machines that I cannot comprehend, so I cannot say anything overtly islamophobic.
But I must admit I feel ill-disposed towards Muslim religious taboos, as they go against my personal tastes.
I am an atheist and I believe any and every religion is at its' basis anti-democratic and pre-modern. A believer always worships some divine reflection of earthly kings, so I believe the ballot and the pulpit are antipodes.

I think religion is better than that. Stuff like the Bible and the Qoran are only rule books to those who are really stupid, like most of the world. Those people have to be educated with rituals so that they behave. That's the first level of the religion. The second level is understanding things beyond this world. I think atheists are thinking too literal and they don't consider the option of being a part of the divine collection of energy.

I don't have a problem with it.
Growing up in the Bible Belt, it took me a while to figure out all of Christianity, isn't Baptist. And likewise all of Islam isn't, Wahhabi.
Up until that all religions seemed crazy, now just the ones that shun a more mystical approach to the universe seem weird. As they tend to make more sense than the full automatic view of the universe, where Western Atheists have taken the Protestant view of the world, threw out the notion of a God. Yet still feel like they are living in on Artifact, in a dumb universe. Oneness tends to agree with my rational a little more, not I the ego or "soul". But the entire process that is "me" in relation to the universe. We all happen together, symbiotically. We imply one another, like up does a down.

Islam is barbarous and violent. When muslims draw comparisons to the Bible, nobody ever points out that Christianity itself had a reformation. It went from barbaric toward virtuous humanism.
Islam is just medieval trash that propogates slavery, monarchy and anti-intellectualism.
I think it's cancer. I'd like to believe I'm not biased - I'm not religious whatsoever, and I don't like Judaism either, and am rather neutral to Christianity.
Religion as a whole is fucking stupid. However, it's also relatively harmless, at the end of the day what matters is how its followers take it.
After all, all religious books have retarded archaic shit written in them like stoning, lashing, xenophobia, etc.
HOWEVER:
As I always say, the big difference is in how it is applied by each religious group in its life.
The worst an "extremist" Christian could do to you is protest very loudly in front of you.
The worst an "extremist" Jew could do is charge you more than he would a Jew.
The worst an extremist Muslim could do is behead you. And then your wife, your kids, piss on your country, then leave.
Islam is entirely incompatible with the modern world, largely because of the fact that its followers are complete imbeciles.

Muslim are mostly decent people but Islam, the theology, is utter crap from a man who only cared about power, money, and fucking many women. Muhammad's actions were no different from other cult leaders like Jim Jones and deserves no respect for the little good he did manage to do.

Islam as a way of life does not reinforce positive values like productivity and modernization.
Islam basically gives you a blank slate in this life, it does not encourage you to be productive in this life. Just do as they say and please Allah and get into the next life where your real life starts, essentially. It's what makes it such an easy escapism option for retards, neets and other such untermensch, like the Sheikh. [may allah rest his soul]

We're talking about Islam's place in the world -today-.
Today, Muslims, despite being almost a fifth of the world's population by now, are contributing less than a hundredth of what smaller religions are to the world.
Today, Muslim dominated countries are the bottom tier of the world.
Today, the worst crimes in the name of the religion committed around the world are in the name of Islam.
But honestly, it's more about the non-productivity factor.
I wouldn't care so much about Muslims/Arabs getting all hurka durka beheading if they found the cure for cancer on the side, really. Because while extremists are a small minority, unproductive, lazy, stupid, welfare queen Muslims are a majority.

Centruies ago they may be, but remember that Christianty was also found many centuries before Islam. It takes time for people to understand religion.
Islam is like a time machine. We can see how were retarded and backward people in the middle age in Europe. Hopefully Christian have evolved multiple time to fit with our modern society. Islam not. That's why when Pope Francois said something like "God is not a wizard, evolution and big bang are fact", Muslim keep behead people who don't believe like them and unallow women to do anything.
To resume, Islam is like the Black Plague. A disease from the middle age.

Islam is an interesting religion, but most Muslims are impossible to live with (especially in a non-Muslim society where 90% of them automatically become douchey to "distinguish" themselves).
Most muslims are annoying, hateful, too proud, pervasive, whiny, unstable, always trying to convert others, always bringing conflicts where peace was standing (males and females as well, maybe females are even worse). The problems especially arise when they're too many -- when they become a mass. Individually they're often decent and pleasant; some of them were the most helpful and reliable people I know. Also they're often quite humorous because they have strong values, while white people educated with "tolerant" speeches have weaker values thus look offended about everything ("b-but that's RACIST!!!!") while you'll always find a muslim to crack good jokes about niggers, sex, whores in niqab or whatever.

> Islam is a religion that promotes peace
srsly ? come on
all semitic religions call for war against unbelievers, that is why islam and christianity are the biggest religions on earth. they were spread by violence.
>>32719836
That is not about religion. It's what people who wanted power did. Heads of state spread their religion to get more power and money. Churches collected taxes. Are kings and churches the creators of the religion? They are only people who claim to represent them, and if they are inhuman while doing it it's their fault not the religion's
>>32719954
Respond to this

Allahu Akbar
>>32717621
Yeah but they failed
>>32719880
If you are smart enough you don't need a religion to tell you what is right and what is wrong. You are capable of judging that. But for those who are the majority need a book to tell them. Think of that while reading the first link.
>>32719600
tbf i think his point was that islam didn't INVENT it ... which it didn't; that shits been around since the fucking dinosaurs
>>32719807
Many people in that era slept with children. It is only considered inhuman now. It is not Islam that justifies child marriage, it's the middle ages.
>>32720295
Oh come now Irishbro you're getting desperate.
Islam did not invent beheadings either but its scripture is what perpetuates it. same with fgm and a whole lot of other stuff.
>>32720280
except that those books are full of unethical nonsense.

>>32719684
How are mosques and paintings valid but idol is not?
>>32719856
He thinks it's right BECAUSE of Islam. That is the fundamental problem. The other being that Muslims don't speak out about terrorism. They are apathetic.

I converted because I want a qt virgin wife
>>32719954
Neither are you. You're just stating half truths without engaging in discussion or providing evidence. That's why you are getting a lot of shit in this thread.
>>32720344
But Muhammad lived in the middle ages and the idea that his example should be followed (the sunna) perpetuates things like this.
>>32720396
the concept of fighting for allah is not only physical. The concept of Jihad is more of an ideology where people try to spread the word of allah. Don't take the qoran so literally as you wouldn't any other book
>>32719389
u mad bro
>>32720411
in this pic are some islamic battles, point is we could easly wreck the islamic world today.
>>32720099
Right but I don't see individuals blowing themselves up in the name of God or Yaweh. It's always in the name of Allah.
>>32720468
Mosques were not there at the time of Islam. People prayed at home or together in the streets. Paintings are banned in Islam because they IDOLIZE people. Only miniatures are allowed to tell stories.
>>32720565
this kind of double speak makes the blood boil, it's impossible to argue with someone who keeps moving the goalposts
>>32720449
Yes he did. Back then. When it was socially ok. People also had sex with children before that.
>>32720565
>Don't take the qoran so literally as you wouldn't any other book
this is something religious people have only been saying for the past 80 years, the 1000 years before it, it was the absolute truth meant to be taken litterly. But now it becomes so obvious that it is utter bullshit you guys just move the goalposts and say: "ooo, it was never meant to be taken litterly."
>>32720344
Shouldn't allah's blessed book's laws be valid throughout the ages?
or quran has become invalid and needs a revision now.
>>32719749
Muslims love to hate Jews ("Zionists") on paper, but in reality they always "make an exception" for those they know. The mass of Muslims dislikes an invisible mass of Jews; but individually there is more appreciation than hate, even if this appreciation is somewhat wary ("you never know", etc.).
>>32720683
so you admit that muhammed was just a lunatic, like there were many in those days, proclaiming to be prophets.
>>32720540
I am stating my opinion
>>32720547
It's the misjudgment of the religion that ruins those people.
>>32720377
I know. was going to add that, but couldn't find a way to articulate it in a way that couldn't just be turned right back at me (ie its not only muslims who partake in FGM ... its fairly common in christian areas of Africa too)
though its certainly far more widespread and enthusiastically practiced among muslims
why do muslim hate Jesus?
>>32720621
Then mosques are as unislamic as idols.
only those who worship at home or street are doing it right.
>>32720614
You don't see them now. A few centuries ago you would.
>>32720701
It certainly does. But the general idea consists. The qoran essentially IS a revision. Of the Bible and the Torah. Islam accepts the old prophets and it says that people deviated from the laws He has given to the people.
>>32720600
The bulwark of Christianity was in the middle east when Islam came up.
Especially in the Levant and Byzantine empire. But these lands plus the Balkans and iberia were lost to muslims.
I dislike Muslims but disregarding their military prowess by saying 'we won the crusades guys' is ignorant and false.
>>32720900
i agree
>>32720683
She was playing with dolls
Let that sink in for a moment
He was fucking a kid that was playing with dolls
“…She (may Allah be pleased with her) said:" Then the side of the curtain which was over the dolls of 'Aa'isha (may Allah be pleased with her) was uncovered. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: What is this, O 'Aa'isha? She said: My dolls. She then said: then he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saw amongst them a winged horse which was tied up. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: What is this? I said: A horse. He said: A horse with two wings? I said: Didn't you hear that Sulaiman (Solomon - peace be upon him) had horses with wings? Then he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) laughed"[44. Abu Daawood 3/1373, no. 4914; Saheeh Sunan Abu Daawood 3/932, no. 4123/4932.].
How do you feel about this ?
>>32720896
>A few centuries ago you would.
Pure conjecture. Also, we're talking about today's world, not "a few centuries ago". Your statement is irrelevant.
>The qoran essentially IS a revision. Of the Bible and the Torah
Right. It was revised to suit the needs of a bloodthirsty conqueror named Mohhamed that fucked 9 year old girls.
>>32720757
how do you even-
>>32720796
They don't.
>>32720864
Mosques are not idols. They are places that bring muslims together. There are no idols in Mosques.
>>32720973
I don't need to feel anything about that as that event only concerns the norms of society in that era. We as modern people don't accept that. Why don't we? This idea progressed over time. If a new religion is to come it will ban having sex with kids.
>>32721030
No, we are not talking about today's world. We are talking about Muhammad. He doesn't live in today's world. You cannot judge his actions in this context
>>32721104
>They are places that bring muslims together.
I, for one, really like this idea. It makes muslims easier to target for extermination.
>>32721104
the man had sex with a 9-10 year old that is not something the belongs in the biography of "the prophet sended by god". nothing fucking devine about these people just some inbred sandrats, like jesus, abraham ect...
>>32720099
people still followed muhammad in his consuests of rape and mass murder, people still followed the church through the mass destruction of paganism in europe and then the dark ages, people still followed the crusader kings etc etc etc
and today blood is being shed over temple mount
i really don't mind the cultural contribution of religions but as i said religion is pretty shitty
captcha: savage stureopn
>>32721174
>You cannot judge his actions in this context
I agree with you. However, his actions condone the same kind of behavior in today's world. And the actions in the name of Mohamed committed today CAN be judged. They are BARBARIC.
>>32721189
Well other muslims agree with that as they bomb Shi'a mosques.
>>32721230
Hey at least they brought order. If these people weren't divine their word wouldn't be spread by Europeans(in italic).
>>32721104
>If a new religion is to come it will ban having sex with kids.
So you admit that Islam doesn't ban it.
Will you admit that there are huge problems resulting from the inability of Islam to ban child marriage ?
>>32721284
People are so stupid they don't know what's right in today's context. To understand the Qoran you also need to review it regarding today
>>32721324
Islam doesn't ban it. I don't need to admit that. There is nothing against it in the Qoran as it has been written in those ages
>>32721315
> If these people weren't divine their word wouldn't be spread by Europeans
so all other religions are divine as well ? your god just plays a game with us, spready multiple religions ?
>>32721377
Do you think you have the authority to interpret the word of god?
>>32721435
Well answer the rest of my question.
Will you admit that there are huge problems resulting from the fact that child marriage is permissible under islam ?
I mean shit like this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6U2nrRJ4HU
>>32721443
First Judaism was spread. Then people deviated from that. Then Christianity, which was essentially a revision of Judaism. People deviated from that. Then the Qoran. I think you see the pattern.
>>32721474
Why would I need authority?
>>32721545
Yes I do. The Quran is outdated. But what I like about it is the philosophy. The existence of God.
Idols and religious buildings serve the same purpose. People go to building to pray together and people worship an idol together where it is kept. None of those are necesarry, but the point is to allow one to focus.
I understand that idols are not a tradition in Islam, but I have yet to hear a good reason why idol worship is bad.
>>32721315
>Well other muslims agree with that as they bomb Shi'a mosques.
Good. They should kill each other off because they have not contributed anything of value to our world in at least 500 years.
>Hey at least they brought order
That may be. The problem with Mohamed fucking 9 year old girls is that people are inspired to do this today. Jesus didn't do any of that. His actions are timeless and still viewed as moral and good in today's world
>>32721552
your opinion in the muslim world is worthless because it has no authority
>>32721552
yes and...
>>32717071
Can you verify what's being said in this picture?
>>32721621
You are comparing the PLACES of worship to the things worship.
>>32721621
>but I have yet to hear a good reason why idol worship is bad
Because it's fucking retarded? Because if you saw someone speaking to a rock you'd asked them if they needed help? Have they taken their meds that day?
But as soon as you call it "worshipping" the rock instead of talking to it then oh well everything's just fine and dandy
>>32721609
Come on dude spare me that shit about philosophy.
Surely there most be some way to get closer to god without adhering to a religion which prescribes and legitimizes perpetual warfare and enslavement against unbelievers, war rape, death to apostates, child marriages and ridiculous medieval punishments like stoning and dismemberment.
>>32721552
and before judaism there was, eygptian religion, babylonian, greek, roman...
because these idiots stole each others ideas; they somehow must be true ? what kind of logic is that ?
Is it haram to cum on a girls face?
>>32721377
>People are so stupid they don't know what's right in today's context.
There are plenty of smart people who advocate against Islam and the violence it causes.
>To understand the Qoran you also need to review it regarding today
You speak as if anyone who isn't a Muslim can't read, understand and interpret the Qoran. That is the ultimate failure of logic. It has been read by many Westerners and the conclusions are the same:
Islam advocates murder, pedophelia, anti-intellectualism and oppression. That would be ok if people didn't follow these examples, but they do.
I think all religions are cancerous but Islam is a particularly cancerous one. Nowadays, its believers are the most backward, violent and uneducated people on earth.
I can't remember last time I saw christian fundamentalists behead someone.
>>32720600
The french truly are our greatest allies
>>32722112
>>32721912
Why is worship of 'things' bad anyway? Explain it with neutral perspective.
>>32722112
you are right
>>32721792
I looked up that from my copy and it says nothing of that. What it says is to not marry those who are already married.
>>32721996
You said medieval. The Qoran came out in the medieval era. The Qoran is outdated. For the philosophy look up Sufism
>>32722009
Stealing? They recognize the old ones exist. It's like when you make a song and you tell people that I got this inspiration from this other song.
>>32722256
Is this site incorrect then?
http://quran.com/4/24
>>32722064
I didn't say if you are against islam you are stupid. Smart people can advocate against it, but they should look into it more.
Also for following the examples I'm saying that people who follow those examples are not taking today's context into account. What you're saying is completely irrelevant
>>32722332
no stuff like virgin birth, walking over water, angels, demons, ect... all that nonsence has been copied over time it went from religion to religion... nothing new, nothing original, just crap people made up thousands of years ago and is of absolutly no relevance today.
>>32721992
Gods are everywhere in every particle- as hindus say.
Rock is just meant for focus.
People usually do not speak to the rocks,despite shown in movies.
>>32722191
So has been
4chan HATES Islam. Both the Christfags and the fedoramen.
Its sad because I actually have met Muslims IRL and they are nice people. Too many stereotype from FOX News BS. Sad sad and sad. And no I don't think it should be gone, I think diversity is a good thing.
I am Christian btw.
>>32722198
Worshiping things on your own is something bad because you can't profit from it socially. It brings no order and it can only bring more arguments as someone may not recognize another person's idol. This also happens with religion, when people idolize it.
>>32722514
I like this guy.
>>32722458
Gods ARE everywhere, as everything that exists is god. All the things in the universe when observed to the smallest degree are the same, it's just how we perceive them makes things different.
>>32722445
That's what you believe.
>>32722712
no that is quite obvious to anyone with a brain, these people didn't know anything about the world the were ignorant people. i mean come on the believed that you can cure diseases by kiling birds, that those diseases were caused by demons...ect all that kind of shit, how can this not be obvious to you ?
>>32722525
I don't know how worshipping idols brought disorder in society, Indians mostly worship idols. What disorder do you see here.
about arguments from those who do not recognize idol- we did not face such an issue here. Maybe it happened in middle east.
why is profitting socially crucial to salvation?
>>32722514
>I actually have met Muslims IRL and they are nice people
Nobody said that Muslims were necessarly all bad. We're talking about their religion here.
I've also meet some perfectly perfectable muslims and many terrible ones. Just see what ISIS is doing these days.
Let me give you an example:
When Tibetan Bhudists monks are opressed, they set themselves on fire as a sign of protestation
When Muslims are opressed, they bomb innocent people, they commit the worst atrocities and generally spread death and devastation.
>>32722712

you're fucking retarded
>I've met nice muslims

>muh fox news
Show this to your muslim friends and ask them what they think about it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huMu8ihDlVA
"Allah's Apostle, 'Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him.'"
>>32722811
I don't say it always brings disorder.
By social profit I mean order. Look at the arabs. All the religion washed over them they still kill eachother. Because they only think they follow the religion. They need to understand it. Idol worhsiping doesn't tell what's right or what's wrong to those who are reeaaaallly dumb.
>>32722431
>but they should look into it more.
How much more do they have to look into it to agree with everything you say? Are you denying that scholars of history haven't looked into it enough? I smell bullshit.
>I'm saying that people who follow those examples are not taking today's context into account.
You don't make sense. We ARE taking in today's context. People today generally accept that murder is bad, women are generally equal and fucking 9 year olds is bad.
My argument is that people do these things today and do them because Mohamed did them. What Mohamed did does not make it right in today's world. And if you believe it does, you truly think like Muslim terrorists.
>>32722891
I have no problem with it. It's the same thing as monotheism, it just appropriates different tasks in the world to different gods. It all comes down to the same thing. If the polytheistic religion directs humans into the right path I'm okay with it
Thanks to Islam. I became Irreligion.
>>32722514
>I actually have met Muslims IRL and they are nice people.
We aren't arguing about how nice Muslims are. We're arguing about the ideology, idiot.
