Exactly what have the terrorists done that the so-called prophet Muhammed didn’t do?
Invasion followed by:
*Theft?
*Destruction of non-Muslim cultural and religious symbols?
*Forced conversions?
*Beheadings of the captive men?
*Slavery, including sexual slavery, of women and childran?
*Stonings?
Exactly what has ISIS done that the murderous scumbag Mohammed didn’t do himself and demand of his followers?
The answer, of course, is to stop allowing these disagreeable comments to be posted after the glorious, government-approved articles are gifted to the public, either by disabling the comment option, or hunting down these offensive racists and handing their information over to the IRS for scrutiny. :/
I’m an atheist but I have to agree with him. It’s simply common sense that a religion built on a man who walked around preaching and telling parables until he was murdered is going to be less violent than a religion built on a sand pirate with multiple wives. It’s like comparing Buddha to Blackbeard.
It is about time that someone pointed out that tu quoque is a logical fallacy. I get sick of hearing this ignorant garbage being touted so much. And such ignorance from a Harvard professor?
It occurred to me earlier today that maybe the reason leftists buy into the Muslims are here only to co-exist with us peacefully lie is because either they haven’t been lied to enough or just too stupid to know one when they see one or they really do want them to takeover not realizing that their heads go on the chopping blocks first (or they are forced to jump to their death). For a group that claims to be so smart they sure are stupid.
Maher: ‘Stop Respecting’ Islamism’s ‘Medieval Bullsh*t’. Breitbart’s headline and I couldn’t agree more! Even in America, the protected religion of Islam requires women to worship apart from men. In countries we cooperate with like Saudi Arabia, women are treated like cattle. This religion gets more respect when it has done so much damage. Both are using the other, leftists/communists/socialists/atheists and Islamists. They will eat each other up if all other opposition is gone.
The powerful and untouchable elites are pushing the ‘Islam is a soft bunny’ story line and are leading us to oblivion.
The political interests of a preponderance of our nation are in conflict with the religious interests of the rest of us. Some of us understand with perfect clarity that the struggle with Islam is religious. It has never been political.
Treating Islam as a political issue gives us Obama. There is no possible resolution under him that allows Judaism and Christianity to stand. Christianity may tolerate Islam but it does not accept its truth. Every Christian knows Islam is a tissue of lies.
Obama has pointedly positioned himself as the protector of Islam against those who oppose its teachings. He has thereby made himself an enemy of Christ's salvation, for Christ said, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Light. No one comes to the Father except through Me."
Long after Moses and Jesus were established as central to God's Plan of Salvation, Mohammed came to overthrow God and His plan. He established blood lust and hatred of Jews and Christians as the very foundation of his beliefs. This is so clearly the work of Satan only one who denies God can treat it as a purely political matter. Islam thereby sounds the death knell to moral relativism.
The civil rights victories of the 50s and 60s were likewise driven by the sound of the moral trumpet. King and his colleagues were ministers of the Gospel before they were social activists (unlike the Revs Sharpton and Jackson, who have never been anything but master baiters).
The printing press was developed so that the masses could have access to religious literature. The first book printed was a Bible.
Much of the music of Western culture arose from the chants used by monks during worship. Drama came from the Greeks originally, but was a vehicle for the celebration of religious events for the edification of the populace. Art depicted many of those same events, whether in paint, marble, or clay.
Christianity didn't just guide Western civilization. It IS Western civilization.
And from the Dark Ages on, it has been at constant war with Islam, which has not progressed one inch from its invention in the 7th century.
The prof in question ought to compare and contrast the life of Jesus with that of the “prophet” and then get back to us.
So does Orthodox Judaism. Though the similarity ends there.
Ths veritable definition of speciousness.
Think about it! Islam is just another form of liberalism… which explains (IMHO) the strange affection for it by modern liberal/“progressives”. Few if any forms of tyranny offend them (maybe Hitler cause he attacked their precious Soviet Union… then lost the war). Like liberalism, Islam seeks to order and control every aspect of our lives… how/what we eat, drive, talk, think and live… (oppressive taxing, regulating, licensing and permitting. being the liberal version of Sharia Law). No matter the atrocity, liberals like this Harvard professor will defend and rationalize Islamic actions. When the Islamic treatment of women, gays and non-Muslims is observed… we are admonished to “understand” their culture… which is the dead giveaway of how liberals think of anyone. Their “protected” groups are only used to gain power over all of us “ordinaries”… then they will be just another piece of human “livestock” to be managed by our liberal version of “Imams” (aka: “owners”, “masters”, politburo, etc.). From Stalin, Mao, Castro… to Iran and ISIS… liberals/(misnamed) “Progressives” ALWAYS side with the tyrants of the world!
Great scholarship here....
Many years ago, I read an account of the Conquistadors arrival at the capital of the Aztecs. What they found in terms of human sacrifice practices was mind-boggling. Pure evil.
It sounded far worse than being the first Allied Soldier through the gates of Auschwitz.
Correct. I would never want the government or society to dictate how men and women worship but if a religion, such as Islam, promotes things like Jihad, Sharia law, government takeover, etc., that is another story.
Great read. Thank you for posting.
