‘Punish a Muslim Day’

I’m speechless tbh
May Allah protect us all Ameen

Islamophobia: A dislike of Islam, especially as a political force. (OED)

Why wouldn't that be real? People have beed Islamophobic for 1400 years!

No. It doesn't it makes Blair responsible. He may have read a certain verse from the bible or any other Christian text, however, what if he misinterpreted it? You can't blame a whole religion for acts of stupid people.

Don't blame the religion, blame the person.

I 100% agree with you. There is such thing as false Muslims too. No religion promotes violence.

I was trying to make Stewpid, see things from a different perspective. Of course I do not believe Christianity is responsible for the Iraq war, it was Blair who made the decision, not Christianity.

Just as when ISIS carry out attacks, it's their choice, Islam isn't to blame, they only have themselves to blame.

Firstly, who are you to tell me that I haven't learnt and studied my religion independently? There was actually a time when I was losing all faith and hardly practicing the religion. After looking for guidance (not from muslims) and doing much research I realised the truth.
Secondly, what did I cherry pick?

Theres a significant number of people who do not like and oppose any religion.

It doesnt have to be integrated in your sense (which is false) that people have to like it
. They do have to follow the laws of the country.

From reading this I can see that you're actually extremely uneducated in Islam and therefore, I don't see any point in arguing further. I would urge you to learn about the religion (properly) before speaking about it. Anyways, I pray that Allah guides you so you may see the truth.

Tbf you might want to start your own thread about muslims and your issues with them, rather than sidetrack this one. This was about the letters as a specific event.

No religion promotes violence.

The uncomfortable truth is that most non-Muslims do not like Islam. This is dislike is stronger for Islam than it is for any other religion. That is why the government has to go out of its way to supress any criticism of Islam under the rubric of Islamophobia and hate speech laws. That such things are necessary in the first place demonstrate that the dislike of Islam is in a class of its own.

You say it doesn't have to be liked, but if non-Muslims don't like Islam or can never see themselves liking Islam (even just a few aspects), then its presence and influence will never be truly welcome.
No non-Muslim in this country welcomes the construction of a new mosque in their area or the increase in veiled women with joy and admiration. No non-Muslim thinks a child getting an "Islamic education" is a great thing. They just politely "tolerate" it. But to tolerate is to put up with something that one that does not inherently like - I think this point is often forgotten these days.

Because it is easy to tell someone who is brainwashed and blindly parroting what they have been told by other people. Whether Christian, Scientologist, Muslim, whatever.

When they argue by referencing their words of their holy book of prophet, and not their own thoughts, and simply repeat interpretations of scripture, you know what's what and what category people fall into.

You cherry pick a verse and claim Allah was talking about Isis, and calling them the worse of humanity. Trying to claim that the book is not a basis for their actions, and Allah or Mohammed taught something different.

Yet a few pages up you quote verse 5.33 where it talks about chopping people's hands and feet off for those who have caused war (or something like) as a counter argument to QE2 when he mentioned verse 5.32.

''The recompense of those who fight against God and His Messenger, and hasten about the earth causing disorder and corruption: they shall (according to the nature of their crime) either be executed, or crucified, or have their hands and feet cut off alternately, or be banished from the land. Such is their disgrace in the world, and for them is a mighty punishment in the Hereafter''

Anyone Muslims believe to causing disorder and corruption, which could be any number of transgressions that fall within that category is fair game to be executed, crucified or have their hands and feet cut off?


Thats the verse you reference as some kind of counter argument to this one:

''Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land - it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one - it is as if he had saved mankind entirely. And our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs. Then indeed many of them, [even] after that, throughout the land, were transgressors.''


How could you believe such lunacy? Unless you feel into that category I talked about, no rational, sane person could. You have to hold so many contradictions and such a lack of critical thought.

It's not ''my issues with them''. It's the issues inherent in a warped, dangerous, violent religion and far too many of its followers who make it so by their actions, attitudes and customs throughout the world. .

You don't have any arguments. You just have sly insinuations. So typical.

He explained the point extremely well and provided sources. Instead of blindly accusing someone of being ignorant when they show you parts of your faith that are despicable, why don’t you actually provide a counter argument?

Isis have killed more muslims than non muslims, they do not represent Islam. We condem them and double triple condem them,

I wasn't 'blindly' accusing. I read what he had to say and realised that he doesn't understand my religion.
