I Just Want To Tell U That Islam Is Not Terrorism

How is it not terrorism when your holy book tells you to kill unbelievers? How is it not terrorism when you are trying to force your beliefs and laws onto the whole world? How is it not terrorism when the only ones your respect are each other? Everything you do and say is a form of terrorism, even the so-called moderates. Even if you're not out there actively killing unbelievers, you are forcing others to subject to your religion. You make managers afraid to say anything in fear of lawsuits. You make coworkers feel uncomfortable. I work with one and she doesn't care about work if she can't pray. When you're at work, work comes first. She takes her breaks AND her prayer times at separate times. You expect EVERYBODY to revolve around you and your practices. I guess that's what happens when you only respect each other and don't give a damn about anybody else.

In my long life, nobody has ever tried to force Islam on me. Just saying. I guess I'm lucky.

@SW-User They force as a whole, not necessarily individually. ALL they talk about is their religion. It is somehow brought into EVERY conversation. Of course, I can't say anything because then that's racist. Well, they are blatantly racist against any unbelievers.

@SW-User I've met a lot of Muslims. Not one has tried to force his or her beliefs on me. I can't say the same about christians. :(
@Sharon Same here. Absolutely no Muslims have ever knocked at my door on Sunday mornings or stopped me on the street asking about my religion.

The Bible doesn't teach to force Christianity on other people. The Bible doesn't say to hate unbelievers, but rather to love them. Yeah, I have pretty harsh feelings towards Muslims, I won't lie. I can handle Satanists better than I can handle Muslims. At least they're not forcing anybody to believe what they do, or killing in the name of it.

@bijouxbroussard yep, the people who have hassled me about their religion have been exclusively Christians.

@SW-User Again, it is a Christian's job to witness through love.

@dunpender
That is because they currently lack the power to do so, no other reason.

Do they? I thought the complaint was that one was not allowed to oppose them. That gives them all the power they need.

@dominoesgirl hahahahahahaha

@dominoesgirl It's still harrassment.

@Sharon If they had all the power they wanted, they would be more out on the streets than they are now. Jihadists would be all over the world, taking over countries, which they admittedly plan to do. They are gaining more and more power as they make it harder and harder for people to speak about their own beliefs in fear of retaliation.
Sharon · F
@dominoesgirl The point is, they do have that power but the vast majority don't abuse it. Your fears are unfounded.

@SW-User then come to London (and many other cities in the UK and other parts of Europe). I routinely see stands outside my local library with a group of Muslims handing out leaflets etc.

Interestingly, in the last year, there has been a resurgence of Jehovah's Witnesses and Evangelists pounding the pavements.

@room101 I'm not looking forward to when what you're going through with the Muslims makes it here to America. It is bad enough as it is, with rallies and protests, but they seem to have a bigger standing where you're at right now.

All they talk about is their religion.

That sounds more like the born again christian zealots. I've never encounted that with Muslims. Even if I ask them about their beliefs they don't go on an on. attempting to convert me, they just answer my questions and give me the information I want.
