I think tou have a warped view of Islam. Moslems have very strong cultural restrictions on the actions of individuals that are directly elated to opposotopn to the law of the jungle.

Prohibition against alcohol and drugs is one. The societal damage as a result of abuse is prohibited because of the tendency for abuse and damage to the family.

Christians have chosen to abandon many of the old verty tight restrictions on personal action. The current liberal movement is to continue and intensify that trend.

Premeditated Infectious Liberalism is the core cause of the effect of abandonment.

The other war.

Islam is responsible for that culture not advancing beyond the 12th century.

No, I don’t have a “warped” view of Islam, but I do know more about Islam than most of the Islamic apologists would like the general populace to know.

Sure, they have prohibitions on a lot of things, but they also have the “out” of “if it advances Islam, do it”.

That may (or may not) be true when Moslems interact with each other, but isn't also true that the "rules" do not apply to interaction with "non-belivers"? In other words they can justify any action against non-belivers simply because they are non-belivers.

Islam as a religion of peace is only that to another Moslem. If you happen NOT to be Moslem, then you don’t have the priviledge of peace...You are an “unbeliever” and should be killed....

Some religion of peace, eh?

I don't want to violate Godwin's Law, but I will say that Hiler loved children, Hitler loved animals, Hitler was a vegetarian, and Hitler thought smoking was a nasty habit. Sounds like he was a nice guy? Well, he wasn't.

Is Islam all bad? No. Some aspects are pretty positive. But the bottom line is that Islam is a barbaric and destructive force. Look at the Islamic world -- it's backward. Look at how the Islamic world has interacted with outsiders for 15 centuries -- lots of violence.

All bad? No. But bad enough to reject utterly.

“I think you have a warped view of Islam.”

I wonder how most of us came to the opinion we have regarding Islam? It couldn’t be terrorist bombings, beheadings, etc. could it?

If he (we) have this view of Islam, he came by it honestly enough.

Christians denounce actions like these committed by other Christians . Where are the muslims denouncing the atrocities committed in the name of Islam?

I haven’t heard a lot of Christians or Buddhists or Jews telling me to “submit or die”.

Maybe YOU have a warped view of Islam. Go read some of the works by Bernard Lewis and get back to us.
