No, it is actually a peaceful religion, with the majority of followers actually practicing what is preached.
The radicals get all the attention from the media which is always the case.
Ask any Muslim on the street about a "Holy War" and they'll have no idea what you're talking about.

@calicuz no cnn or fox news 😂
Promise
Look I think it would be better for that reason if you researched it yourself
It is historical record in so far as Mohammed was a historical figure. It isn't actually controversial.
A great resource are ex Muslims.
Watch out for tricky apologists and sites that whitewash mass executions as "the Jews knew they had been really bad and therefore begged to be beheaded"
Or, "Muslims treated slaves like members of the family."
Look into current laws where Sharia is applied, such as apostasy laws in many Islamic countries and their origins in the behavior of the 'prophet'
Be aware of the importance of the hadith for the majority of Muslims and how that impacts the application of things like Sharia law

Can we agree that every religion has their extremists and radicals.
I mean there ARE those in the South who still believe you can be a Christian and still own slaves, refer to people in derogatory terms like the N word and still be a good Christian.

@calicuz yes, of course.
People are people.
A good person will make even a bad ideology into a good one.
Whereas a bad hearted person will interpret everything through that lens and find justification for their atrocity.
There is nothing in Islam justifying suicide bombers.
There is justifying killing people who leave Islam however, which is why last I checked 20 Islamic countries still have laws that make that illegal.

I feel threatened by western and middle eastern governments who embrace Islam and use Islamic terrorists to create fear and worry. If Islamic terrorism wasn't funded by governments with an agenda, it would provide very little destruction.
People just want to live a good life and have a good job, provide for their families, regardless of their religion. The evil comes when the race baiters and religious baiters within government/mosques stir them up into a frenzy.

That's their game. They fund and train radicals and then tell us we need government to protect us from those radicals

I don't feel like they are out to get me personally. I give them the same level threat as a dog that may bite or a snake encountered while hiking. Not all Muslims are bad people or terrorists, but any of them have the potential to bite even if they aren't provoked. Their ideology dictates that non Muslims are the bad guys. To consider it not a potential threat would be ridiculous just as living in constant fear would be.
I try to accept everyone at face value until they give me a reason not to.

@nedkelly you feel threatened by Biden? You and him are both pro abortion for Christs sake. Disgusting

I don't for now. Terrorism is what most people think about when one sees the words "threatened" and "Islam", together. So far, thank God, I have had little in the way of direct experience with that.
For the most part, I have little experience with Muslims at all, but the nicest ones appear to be the Sikhs.

No, I support Islam even though I am not Muslim. Islam is one of the few forces against depraved modern culture.
MartinTheFirst · 22-25, M
@fschmidt what 👀 Surely you can go to conservative christians for that? 👀👀👀
fschmidt · M
@MartinTheFirst The only Christians that meaningfully resist modern culture are traditional Anabaptists, and I support them too. The rest of the Christians are part of modern culture, so they are part of the problem.

@fschmidt Well its definitely not the only but sure 😵
