I'm lately upset because of some generalizations that are being made here about Muslims.

I know that there's this of speech's freedom and I understand but is it possible to be more objetive and avoid making unfair generalizations that border on hate apology and pretty egocentric by the way.
We believe any culture has to be the same as ours. We are unable to see that there are other ways to live and think.
Any population has a context, a History a way to rule their communities. And we tend to label as bad anything that is different to our thinking parameters.

I'm not stupid to ignore that there are followers from an Islam's branch who use Religion as a context to impose a model of society totally different to ours. And mainly, what they seek is to avoid Western Society culture penetrate them. This is the real origin of this yihad and they will use all the means, including confronting us to the rest of Muslims.

I loved a sentence by a user here some days ago. Sorry, I can't remember the nickname but I'm gonna look it up. She came to say that the problem of Daish is in the Islam but it isn't the Islam.

I ask you to read and listen to the experts and do your own researches.
I only ask for that. Don't believe what I say, only think by yourself and know the truth.

A form of ignorance is hating that which is different. A form of rational thought is viewing something seeing its merit and judging it by such.

Two truths that we must keep in mind:
Not all cultures are equal in terms of merit and values. No culture has it all right.

Those two truths are important to the discourse.

I agree that every culture has a history and a background. Every culture has a set of rules. Just because every culture has a set of rules does not mean that those rules are good. Quantifying is hard. But getting a sense of what is bad is not so hard when contrasted.

Now if we are talking particularly about Islam as a religion and the culture most often associated with the religion. We must consider its flaws and its success. A success would be the faith and the charity. A failure the terrorism that rises on a much higher scale than any other religion or political movement. A success, intolerance of theft and murder. A failure, very limited human rights for women and a very intolerant perspective on those who do not share the same religious beliefs.

There are many flaws and many areas where in my opinion and when measured against a code of human rights our culture (western)is supperior to that most often associated with Islam.

@IstillmissEP No. I'm not excusing terrorists attacks. I'm trying to avoid giving their sick minds excuses by cathegorising, like you are doing with me now btw, all Muslims as terrorists.

@IstillmissEP I know very well on which side I am so, could you express your opinions without making assumptions about me? I didn't think that I had to explain the obvious.
My post is a request to study deeply the issue before being making unfair assumptions about many people whose Religion is Islam.

Never denied that the problem is in the Islam. One can't fight against religious beliefs. More than one thousand millions of people in the World is a Muslim. The great part of countries where Islam is the majority religion belongs to undeveloped or in development via countries.
There are many things to consider.
Reality can't be simplified to cathegorised a big group of people as dangerous or potentiall terrorists.

The term jihad. I know what it is, and the different interpretations the Islam is subject. I respect the positive interpretations that are able to cohexist with different people. I don't want to forget them.

It will be a pleasure to talk with you but if you point me out again as a terrorists sympathizer, I don't have anything else to say.

P.S.: jihadist terrorists. Everyone call them like that.

@twistermind Critical thinking is not judgement. Your argument is an error in logic.

@Allelse What? If I would hate freedom, I delete this reply by you where you're accusing me without any basement.
Do you think that my post is against freedom? Why?

Allelse · 36-40, M

@IstillmissEP I feel like o could make the argument that killing non muslims by muslims is justified and acceptable and that we are wrong to be pissed

twistermind · 51-55, F

@IstillmissEP You are free to think whatever about me but your opinion are based again on unknowledge.

@twistermind Indeed

@Jack4054 And do you know when it becomes even more meaningful? I'm gonna ask this question by myself since you didn't deign to reply to my questions.
It's more meaningful when the person who say it, applies it to oneself.

@twistermind I became a truth seeker. I began with near death experiences which was a good place to start for me. After a while I wax exposed to all kinds of things. I kept what resonated with me. The part that spoke to the still small voice. I had to reject Christianity and every other religion out there. I became spiritual but not religious. My spiritual growth took off from there. Now I am open to all kinds of things. Everywhere I look I can learn things.

@IstillmissEP I know it. The judge's name has been published.
The press is being here very hard, with the errors made.
