Islam = lies
Islam = lies of an old pedophile terrorist named Muhammad
Japanese militarism grew - and then declined - in the last century.
Pure, unadulterated irredeemable insanity
For years, terrible and violent crimes have been committed in the name of Islam. Does that mean Islam is inherently a religion of terrible violence?
A correction. Not for years but for centuries.
Yes islam is inherently evil. Anyone reading the Koran can come to no other conclusion. Anyone studying the history of muslim country’s and cultures can come to know other conclusion.
islam is a death cult that uses oppression torture and terror to achieve its goals.
BUMP
btw - your link to the article is going to the photo, not the article
This article is pure BS written by either a knowing Muslim apologist or a useful idiot to Islam.
Geert Wilders is right — Islam and “Islamism” ARE exactly the same. If you believe anything other than this, you are deluded.
Evil.
“Like every great faith....”
Haha....I stopped reading at that early point in the article. Islam is no more a religion than Nazism, or communism or any other ism....
I think this country has lost patience with these people. We’re one click away from totally declaring war on them in this country...All it will take is some dispicable act like killing one of our soldiers on the street.
Come on.. make our day...
“By this argument, the backwardness, repression, and violent incitement against non-Muslims that hold sway in much of the contemporary Muslim world don’t reflect a particularly harsh and unenlightened interpretation of Islam — they are Islam.”
Twelve years after 9/11, I still await the “moderate” Muslims to voice their rejection of the act. My patience is wearing thin.
The name of my pot belly pig?
This post has a nice rundown: http://freerepublic.com/focus/news/3022557/posts?page=27#27
Islam needs to be treated today as the German American Bund was treated during WWII. Any muslim is an enemy of the state simply by identifying themself as muslim. Mosques should be shut down.
No, they should not be arrested, but including them in our military is lunacy.
When Moslems had the means, even before the death of Mohammed, they conquered the Arabian peninsula and large portions of the Middle East and North Africa, then they turned to Persia, India, Europe and other areas. It was non-stop invasion and conquering for several centuries.
When Moslems have the means, they invade and conquer and subjugate. It’s now been several centuries since they’ve had the means to be a major military power. But they have developed new tactics, primarily terrorism and invasion by immigration and the womb.
It’s just PC to look for any excuse to say Islam is not a violent religion, but looking at the history and the present, there’s never been a shortage Moslems who find more than enough justification to use violence to advance whatever they believe to be their cause.
Actually, the west needs to declare war on Sharia.
Period.
I disagree with Pipes. The entire framework of the Islamic faith is based on the idea that people are slaves to Islam and the absurd idea that a person can be “converted” by force.
Contrast this to the free, but conditional, gift of salvation that God offers humanity through Jesus Christ. This gift can only be accepted in a framework of informed consent, which by its very nature must be voluntary. Nowhere in the Bible is the idea that people can be “converted” by force.
I think what Pipes is reacting to in Islam is that some people just cannot accept what the literal reading of the Koran implies. But on the other hand we see so many major Protestant sects such as Methodists who cannot bring themselves to accept the plain statements in the Bible regarding what God considers righteous and what He considers Sin. A good example of this is the issue of sexual immorality, which Jesus says in Revelation 22:15 disqualifies a person from having eternal life.
A violent world-domination movement cleverly disguised as a religion.
And who, exactly, was Mohammed? Islam was founded by a desert bandit who made his living robbing caravans and sacking towns. Mohammed was the kind of guy who would order a woman's murder because she made satirical poems about him.
The "exemplar for Muslims" was a psychopathic killer, rapist, and pedophile.
There is a principle in Islam whereby the latter verses of the Koran, when they conflict with earlier verses, are the ones that prevail. (And generally the latter parts of the Koran are the more militant ones.) Jacoby ignores that, quotes an early verse, and leaves it at that.
His logic is similarly riddled throughout. Surveys show majorities in most of the Muslim world believe that sharia law should be enforced as the law of the land, even though a majority of Muslims aren’t personally geared toward becoming violent themselves. And, part of Islam’s stated strategy is to move peacefully into a new area until the conditions can be created to prevail by force.
Jacoby is the Globe’s token ‘conservative’ writer, and we know how that tends to work out over time.
The religion is demonic.
