Yes, Daisy, It Is Hate

There are people who join the Nazi Party, today...It's the same Party as Hitler's Nazis...
But are they doing what the Nazis of that day did?
There are people in America who join the Socialist Party (well, that's rather redundant [National Socialist German Workers' Party]) and the Communist Party. They too know what they are joining. Until they do something all I can do is disagree with their philosophy. When their thoughts become deeds then it becomes a different story.

The muzlims know that their Koran tells them to murder all Jews and all who will not become muzlim...
Unfortunately that's not correct. Many people in the Muslim world can't read and they have no idea what the book actually says other than what they're told. It's those who can read, who do understand what the book says and join anyway that get me.
Of course, if you're told what to believe, or how to interpret a "holy book", then you're in a pickle. The two should be held up to scrutiny. When you can't, or won't, do that you're either gullible, have a predisposition which said religion reinforces or are a religious tyrant bent on forcing your beliefs and values upon others.
JMO.

It’s like being called a racist because you don’t like cranberry sauce...

Their god is one they invented that encourages murder and lying.
Their god is one that was invented to absolve believers of their murder, pillage, rape and subjugation of others under the guise of religious piety.
When you feel guilt over your actions what easier way out is there than "God told me to do it."? Pure mental suasion and as old as time.

Sorta like John Calvin and the doctrine of Sola Scriptura?
Then don't follow Calvin or believe that doctrine if you don't want to. It's your decision!
I'm not going to force you to follow it, believe it or live by it by threatening to cut your friggin' head off if you don't!

Christianity, Judaism, etc. are voluntary.

Islam is mandatory on penalty of earthly death.

Islam is worth hating.

[philman_36]

Being “muslim” is the new “black”, since racism against blacks is so yesterday.
It's a worn out gambit as well and more people are aware of it as such.
But when you have so few new ideas in your play book you have a tendency to use what worked last time.

It was just a smart-assed quip.

But if you really believe what you just said, maybe it's time for you to refresh your memory about the religious conflicts of the 16th and 17th Centuries...

It was just a smart-assed quip.
And so once again we come up against the inadequacies of the Internet. An /sarcasm would've helped.

I'm fully aware of those conflicts and I'm also aware of the foibles of man.
This, however, isn't the 16th or 17th Century so causality doesn't, or shouldn't, play.

My apologies for tweaking your melon.

Ah, but are we really talking about the inadequacies of the internet, or merely the inadequacies of you? It wasn't sarcasm anyway -- I was being a smart-ass, and I'm not aware of an HTML tag to stop that....

I suppose I could instead have pointed to anti-Islam (or anti-Catholic, or anti-Mormon, or anti-illegal immigrant) posts right here at FR that fit your description of what you hate.... would that have been more to the point?

My apologies for tweaking your melon.

No worries, I'm just having fun with it.

I'll willingly admit my wrong in not recognizing your post as a quip. Will you admit that you could've made your intent more clear?

It wasn't sarcasm anyway -- I was being a smart-ass...
If you say so. It looked like sarcasm to me....sarcasm
: a sharp and often satirical or ironic utterance designed to cut or give pain
It sounded pretty cutting to me as do your subsequent statements.

...and I'm not aware of an HTML tag to stop that....
Neither am I. Self restraint, however, seems to work at times.

Oh I agree. Mohammed was as insane as they come.

Yeah, sure, whatever.... you're imputing far more seriousness to our discussion than it merits.

I suppose I am. I'm not in much of a fun mood today. Perhaps I'll improve as the day progresses.
My apologies, once again.
