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.

I guess I keep coming back to how do I deal with Muslims in my own life.

Over the years I've worked with some pricks.

Then two of my best friends are Muslims. One I eat tacos and beer with at a taqueria every so often. He loves tacos. The other is a queer and sex trafficking activist.

It's easier to deal with Muslims re individuals than it is Islam some big thing.

@CopperCicada I'm glad that you've met some cool Muslims and you're absolutely right, it is easier (and better) to look at individuals as opposed to institutions.

@room101 on the other hand, there is a time and place to look at islam re an institution. in terms of geopolitics, terrorism, what have you. eating tacos isn't that time :)
