But my friend this is not some perversion of a peaceful religion. The Koran directly states these things. Not to mention that from the two types of jihad mentioned in the Koran, it clearly states that the one involving the destruction of non belivers comes before the other jihad (the conquering of the self)

Read your Koran and dont believe everything the liberal media tells you :fishslap:



The Quran also instructed for the strict protection of the Muslims "brothers" the Jews.  Which was upheld for quite some time.

And on the contrary the Bible orders Christians to commit many violent acts.
Contemporary Christians pick and choose what they practice, but Orthodox Muslims go by the book quite literally. It shouldn't be that surprising why they do what they do.

This ^^ And I thought people on shroom were not as brainwashed by Faux News when it comes to political matters, but clearly the consecutive posts about "Islam is the devil" prove otherwise.




clearly you're unaware of the traditions of islam, the muslims destroyed 
the center of science and learning in their early days, 640AD they
destroyed the Library of Alexandria, of course the romans had done the same
and just as all other religions there are some elements that have no
tolerance for others outside their faith and it's by that measure that the
rest are judged so to be honest, you are 'Faux news' in this instance
because you'd promote that one group was inherently more tolerant than the
next when it's really not that simple





"The Muslims" didn't do anything. The final burning of the Library is attributed to an order given by Amr ibn Al-Asi, one guy.


A few hundred men at most may have performed that action.  You can't attribute that to "The Muslims"tm

What a crock of shit.  Now its Khan's fault that Muslims are barabaric radicals?  Hippies will do whatever they can to defend Muslims.

Pervert the message?  Meaningless excuse.  You are assuming 1, that there is some 'true' message that can be perverted, and 2, that your interpretation alone is correct and what others believe is 'perverse'.  You are wrong on both counts.  Thats a close minded and self righteous position to take, that you claim to know more about their religion then they do.  Im sure if you asked them you would be the pervert.


Your opinions here are pathetic and backwards.  :thumbdown:

were they not muslims but instead Martians or Venusian, maybe it was the
moon people. clearly this thread is about generalities, it wasnt the
christians that waged war in the middle east during the crusades, it was a
certain number of men with the blessing of the vatican, it wasnt the nazis
that killed 12+ million people in europe it was attributed to an order
given by one man so only hitler is to blame, the other nazis were just
innocent bystanders

Liberal media. Lol.....

Anyways, you shouldn't act like Christianity is any different. People chose to pervert religion the same way. Christianity is founded in blood as well, ever heard of the crusades?


You are talking about a book that was written 60-100 years AFTER Jesus "rose from the grave to save the world". Ever play a game of telephone in kindergarten? You can't even go around the room with a bunch of shit getting inflated, imagine 60+ years.

In my opinion the Muslim religion is fucking insane. Women covered up and treated like dogs, they have god damn stoning still in these places. They stone people. Barbaric. And yeah, they aren't all like that and every religion is crazy, but they have to be a way bigger majority than any other religion. I read a National Geographic a while ago, I still remember the title - "Islam's Bloody Borders" basically about how every Islamic country has fighting on it's borders for years and years now.

Give Iran and the Muslims what they want? I'd say they'd kill a whole lotta Jews.

The point is that those are not truly Muslim traditions. There is no decree in Muslim religion that says those things must be done in the name of Jihad, and also struggling war in the name of Jihad, which is what the fanatical terrorists really say, is not in the Quran, maybe in it's paste history, but not in the sense of what all faithful Muslim's should do.

However, no Muslim's have really come out to apologise of what a few fanatics have done to ruin their religion. I think they are all fanatical, with their Bhurkha, and all the rest of their bullshit. Honestly, if you were Christian, and a bunch of disgusting Italian Christians or some shit came out and started beheading people all over t.v., would you just be like, whatever? Or would you be apologising all over the place for what a few fanatics had done to give your religion a bad name? It's fucking disgusting, and personally, I don't care much for the religion.

Lots of the traditions of oppressing women relate to the tribal nature of the people that pre-dates Islam. Take a look at Turkey, they are +97% Muslim. Do they stone women, and behead people? No. There is a plurality of religions that coexist in Turkey.

Another thing to think about is that Islam is 640 years less experienced the contemporary Christianity. I know this is not entirely relevant but it should still be considered. What did Christianity look like in 1460? Probably pretty barbaric.

The problem is that most people who denigrate Islam for its supposed abuse mistakenly attribute tribal traditions to the divine call of Islam- its an attributional error.

I have no interest in defending Islam.
I'm simply offering my own knowledge of the culture. Most people are not aware that Muslims were far superior in Science and Medicine before the Mongol empire invaded the fertile crescent.

I never claimed to know the true message of Islam, and I never specified who or what is perverting the message.
However, considering that it is an Abrahamic religion, the overall messages and themes are incredibly similar to Christianity and Judaism.


Your ego seems damaged by my statements. It's interesting that you resort to personal attacks over such a simple topic.

are you claiming all muslims live by this mantra, that's a great expression
of ignorance if it's your claim, one could certainly read scriptures from
any of the 3 Abrahamic religions and see the destruction of the non
believers simply because they dont worship the same god in the way the
others do. surely since the bible says so then all christians believe the
exact same and because of the talmud the gentiles are like shit under the
shoes of jews so killing the goyim is likened to killing an animal




I did not make that claim.  I don't claim all of any religion does anything.
