3 simple reasons why Islam isn't compatible with the West

Your understanding of the Qur'an is wrong

Who says muslims even want sharia in the west ? Btw saying the word "sharia law" is redundant , simply because the word "sharia" means law in arabic.

If you've read some basic history you'll know that muslims are not planning to over take the world. Honestly speaking those who do plan to take over the world are ones that control around 40% of world reserves.

Im talking about the laws of Islam, not what Muslims actually do in real life. Many of them do not follow the Quran properly. Muslims are not allowed to friends with non-Muslims according to the Quran:

"O ye who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors; they are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily Allah guideth not a people unjust. (The Noble Quran, 5:51)"
"O ye who believe! Take not for friends and protectors those who take your religion for a mockery or sport - whether among those who received the Scripture (i.e., the Bible) before you, or among those who reject Faith; but fear ye Allah, if ye have Faith (indeed). (The Noble Quran, 5:57)"
"Yea, to those who take for friends unbelievers rather than believers: is it honour they seek among them? Nay,- all honour is with God. (The Noble Quran, 4:139)"

The crusades? So the ones in the wrong are the middle easterns and not the invading European hordes?

This is such a desperate try.

The first one the translation is completely incorrect but i dont expect an a'jmi to understand.
The second one i see nothing wrong with it, if you mock my religion then go ahead, but don't expect me to be friends with you.
And as for the 3rd thats another poor translation, it simply encourages muslims to not exclude themselves completely from muslims and only have non-muslim friends. It is not by any stretch of the imagination a prohibition of friendship with non-muslims.

Take this L.

The crusades? So the ones in the wrong are the middle easterns and not the invading European hordes?
I agree with you the conquest of Al-Andalus was completely wrong in spain. Byzantium were the ones to provoke and start the wars and they suffered a humiliating defeat. And i agree with you that what the ottomans did in eastern europe was shameful.

This is so silly, no one follows their religious book word for word. I'm pretty sure most muslims would love it if the people around them became muslim (just as christians, hindus and sikhs would feel too) but the vast majority won't use violence to get there. You could write this for any religion, including christianity which I'd consider to be the main christian religion. According to the bible, it is acceptable for anyone who works on a Saturday to be put to death. I'm not sure that entirely fits in with the West either...

How about we judge people on who they are and not their religion? That sounds much nicer

"A Muslim, sometimes spelled Moslem,[1] relates to a person who follows or practises the religion of Islam"
In this case they are not Muslims.

When Jesus came a lot of things changed such as sacrificing a lamb and so on.

Exactly, the Quran states what a muslim should do, and since most of them say the Quaran doesn't change and the context remains as is, they aren't muslims then.

What changed? 2000 years people comfortably kill each other.

I hope that you understand what you have written.

The first quote is for Christians in terms of killing. If you claim to be Christian you should not under any circumstance condone the taking if another's life. The catholics have a history of killing people who they claim to be witches or sorcerers or people who "go against God's law". If you have yet to realise this they have their own bible that is different from the Holy Bible. I wouldn't class them as Christians and so, this point exactly is why there are denominations in Christianity. One person think they're right another thinks they are wrong.

And for the second quote I understand what I have written.

Western society is slowly catching up to give them credit.

1) According to the Quran, Muslims cannot be friends with "unbelievers" so they cannot possibly integrate into British society as a group.

2) Sharia law directly opposes Western values. The death of apostates, the ban info homosexuality, the jizya tax for non-Muslims all contradict our values of tolerance, equality and freedom.

3) Muslms ultimately want the whole world to be Muslim and to live according to the rules of the Quran. They are allowed under the Quran to use violent methods to charge this.

OK, at least one person understands it..

It's strange then, because I find the Muslims I work with to be very friendly. They also seem to be good Muslims who know their Quran, Hadith, etc.

Sharia is something that traditionally was only required for Islamic states. The desire to impose it elsewhere is a form of extremism, probably unsupported by the texts, but even if it is now believed by many Muslims, it's unlikely to become a fact on the ground other than for things like marriage-related issues. Other religions also legislate and have their own courts in these kinds of things within the UK and other Western countries. Are we going to make one law for all the other religions and a different one for Muslims?

On your third point, so do many Christians. That doesn't mean it's remotely likely to happen, or that most of the religious actually follow it in practise.

Although it is completely understandable, it does somewhat set up a paradox of sorts.

The title of the thread is "Islam isn't compatible with the west" not "Muslims aren't compatible with the the west"- I was criticising the ideology, not the people.
