I Have Legitimate Concerns About Islam And That's Not Bigotry

First things first, I don't like Islam. I am against it because it divides the world into believers and infidels, and orders infidels to be killed. So when a state or armed organisation places Islam as its guiding light, those who do not agree with it put their lives at risk. This attitude has only got a name, and it is totalitarism.

On the other hand, I cannot help observing that in certain points Islam strongly clashes with capitalist and liberal democracy, and this clashes go much further than Islamic views on homosexuality. Islam rejects usury as the worst of sins. Muslims have a much stronger sense of community than the western world.

Islam and capitalism cannot be friends. The establishment does not support Islam, it is using it to keep western population divided and fearful. Islam is a virus that has been injected in the body of our societies. We have to fight it or we will die. But if we fight the virus and we get new injections all the time, we will die anyway. It is a mistake to just fight Islam. The biggest fight must be against those bringing it to the west.

Where are you getting your information on Islam?



Are you also aware that Christianity, Judaism and Islam all come from the same religion? Hence their similarities.


I suggest you do some research, the internet is easy to access and a lot of information on there. 20 years ago your ignorance would be excusable, today it is not

They have similarities true.
That doesn't make them the same.

Only one calls for followers to kill non believers.

Only one calls for death to people who leave the faith.

@UserName1234: where are you getting this information? Fox News? Read the Qu'Ran?

@JKerouac:

Have you read it?
If may want to read or re-read a few sections, you may want to start with

2:191-193 kill them wherever you find them

8:59-60 prepare for war against disbelievers, as much as possible, according to affordability and availability

2:216 Fighting is prescribed for you

3:151 cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelieversame


47:3-4
For those who disbelieve smite at their necks till when you have killed and wounded many of them


That is just a start.
Yes I have read it. Have you?

@UserName1234: i have read an English translation.

However because I'm educated I know that you're lying and have simply used Google to try and make your point. If you're that pathetic then i don't intend to reason with you further
UserNameSW · 46-50, M
Have you read the verses above?
Is it pathetic that I have read it and I have problems with many of the verses?

You haven't reasoned with me at all. You asked if I've read it. I answered that I have read it.

I then showed you a few verses that I use to form my opinion as you asked where my opinions were coming from.

Where is the reason you claim to show?
Benny5678 · 41-45, T
@UserName1234: I'm not debating with you, you lie to make your point. I'm done, spin it how you want. You can believe your reasoning best me, whatever. i genuinely think you are pathetic
UserNameSW · 46-50, M
Think what you want,you have that right in the western world. In the mooslim world you may not have that right.

I'm using facts and quotes from their book of violence, where are you getting yours?

I'm sticking to facts.

I know you are not debating me. That would require more than your opinion.

I'll ask again have your read the verses above?
Read the book and learn the facts.

@UserName1234: Again showing your ignorance. The opposite of the western world is not the Muslim world.


Quick bit of info, then I'm ignoring you - Much like the Bible, the Qu'Ran is interpreted from another language. This interpretation is open to inaccuracy or abuse to push an agenda.
UserNameSW · 46-50, M
I never said they were opposite.

I said the west allows free though. Mooslim nations do not

Do you have any facts to back up your opinion?
UserNameSW · 46-50, M
@JKerouac: I'd like to know your "interpretation" of those verses.

@UserName1234: Ive just been watching videos of Muslims marching in London. Tried to attack Kurdish marchers who are also Muslims. However, the Muslims hate the Kurdish Muslims and consider them infidels, so it's not just about Muslims vs. westerners. Sunni and Shia hate each other. They hate the Kurds, the Jews, so they have different factions killing each other for centuries, and they bring it to the west. Once the numbers reach critical mass, there will be slaughter on the streets like it has been in the Middle East.
UserNameSW · 46-50, M
They hate and want to kill anyone unlike them, even ones that are close by not identical.
Carissimi · 70-79, F
@UserName1234: Most don't realize how much of their life will change under Sharia. So many aspects. Muslims hating dogs and slaughtering animals for food inhumanely with great distress and pain for the animal is just one aspect, and there are many. Dogs most likely will be killed.

It's a terrible system.

Which part of what I wrote is false?

@Carissimi: if, heaven forbid, sharia law were to take place in the US, and I had to get rid of my dog, I would stock up on dog food, buy it on the black market, whatever, and keep him hidden. Ain't no way I would get rid of him!
My coworker has talked about how they cannot be touched by dogs because they are "unclean"
