Why do leftists love Islam?

If every other countries/ religions discriminate then it does not justify Islam discriminating.

No the issue with Islam is the teachings of bloody islam.

Do you understand why these Muslim countries haven't shaken the law and state from religion?

I'll tell you....it's because in these ISLAMIC countries they abide by ISLAMIC LAW (Sharia Law) they follow this law because that is what the majority of the country believes in, not because they haven't got around to separating church from state.

The difference between Christianity and Islam is that Christianity does not tell its followers to abide by a certain legal system, whilst islam does, as I stated this is called Sharia law.

You are evidently quite ignorant of how Islam works.

I'd challenge you to go over to a middle eastern country e.g Saudi Arabia and start a civil rights movement for women and gays but I wouldn't want to be responsible for your death.

All Religion is retarded full stop.

The dissemination of hate speech is a crime. So why isn't the distribution of the qur'an an offence?

Well yes, I agree that religions generally advocate violence within their scripture. To be honest I don't argue the point with anyone who has distaste for religion because of this.

However my points are more aimed at those who seek to portray Islam as a violent religion, whilst seeing no parallels in Christianity and other major religions.

I maintain that, however great or small you feel religions are as a factor, violence comes from man (or woman).

You obviously haven't read them then.

But this raises the question, if you believe that the morality of a religion is wrong, why do you follow it?

It is completely illogical to say "I belive that X is absolutely true and perfect, but at the same time, I believe that X is wrong".

So, not the existence of Allah, the content of the Quran, or the example of Muhammad then?

Perhaps you're not really cut out to be a Muslim?

Why did your God send a message to the world that only a few people could understand?

Wasn't that a bit irresponsible and stupid of him? Likely to lead to humans getting it wrong, killing each other?

That is the consequence of your bizarre argument that the Koran can't be translated.

Now if he had written it in English it would have been clear!

All religions set down a moral code for their followers. Just because in recently history it is mostly Islam that is inseperable from the state in a range of barbaric countries it doesn't necessarily follow that Islamis therefore the problem any more so than religions in general being a problem.

You have clearly read or understood little of what I've posted throughout this thread if you believe that you have convinced me that Islam is therefore evil above all over religions.

Meaningless platitude.
Islam is a religion of peace and violence, tolerance and intolerance, equality and discrimination.
To claim otherwise is to deny the evidence of the Quran and sunnah.

The problem is, you can't do this.
There are millions of Muslims who do not respect different cultures or beliefs. Many millions believe that people should be killed for the beliefs or sexual behaviour (under the right circumstances).
By definition, anyone who follows traditional Islam to the letter and rejects the modern, revisionist interpretations, holds intolerant, extremist views.

...
I remember on the news when this popped up when they completely added a new verse to the Quran made by themselves.
...

WHAT I'M SAYING IS... some religions are really bad whilst others are just bad.

WHAT I'M SAYING IS ISLAM IS STILL PRACTISED IN A VIOLENT MANNER IN VARIOUS COUNTRIES WHILST CHRISTIANITY OR BUDDISM(sp) IS NOT.

How many Buddist terror related atrocities have you heard about in the past 10 years?

No, I believe in the existence of Allah & the content of the Qur'an & the example of the prophet but it is an inspiration because it emphasises my beliefs and helps me to love God even more.

What I quoted you is Buddhist scrupture.

"Now go, attack the Amalekites and utterly destroy everything that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants..."

Even the bits allowing slavery, wife-beating, killing apostates, executing prisoners and torturing people to death?

Surely you could find better inspiration while still maintaining a belief in the supernatural?

No not those bits actually.
I do have other inspiration as well, like doing well for my self, and providing for my parents, and making them proud.
