Just read their “holy” book. That’s where they get their marching orders.

It’s the so-called moderates who are not following islam to the letter of the law. The extremists are the ones who are truly following the book.

Perhaps the question should be reversed...

Is Islam a peaceful constructive force in the world?

Every where there is strife, there is Islam.

It's certainly is not constructive.
Someone please name one quality product developed, built and exported by an Islamic country.
The impressive mega-projects in Dubai are mostly designed and constructed by western engineers and foremen, with local workers only on the lower rungs.

That this question can be asked with a straight face with current events unfolding before this generations very eyes is beyond comprehension.

Islam was created to allow men to have sex with anything and everything at will.

Now America has joined them in that philosophy.

When Islam finally takes America in full, we won’t notice the change.

Religion can be blamed for a lot of violence in the past and present. We have disgusting cults here in the US that claim they are doing what the Bible says even though they are clearly not. Doesn’t even the KKK think they are good Christians?

That being said, it is still hard to NOT think of Islam as a violent and evil religion when you see all what their followers are doing. I think if the moderate Muslims would at least call out in mass saying what the extremists are doing is wrong, people would be able to separate the two a little better. I refuse to say that the Koran exclusively speaks of evil because I have never read it (don’t really care too). I know many of the evil things that are said in the Koran because people so often quote them, but the Bible says some pretty nasty things too.

Again, the distinction for me is that Muslims don’t condemn the extremists. Whereas Christians have no hesitation in denouncing white supremacists, cults, westboro baptists, etc. In that way alone, I can deduce that Muslims are more likely to be warmongers than Christians.

I have another take on it:

II Thessalonians 2:7-12, “The mystery of iniquity already at work only the Holy Spirit constrains, until He leaves this earth at the translation of the living Bride. Then shall that Wicked One be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spoken Word, and shall destroy with the revelation of His parousia: even the Pope, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the Truth (or the revealed Word, which is Christ), that they might be saved.”

“And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe the LIE: that they all might be damned who believed not the Truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”

If BOR was an educated man,
he would know that Islam has been
trying to destroy Western Civilization
for 1400 years by Jihad.

I have to give O’Reilly credit for bringing the subject up on his show. Most will not touch it.

"Is Islam a destructive force in the world?"

YES!!!!

Quran (4:76) - "Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah…"
Quran (5:33) - "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement"
Quran (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them"
Quran (8:39) - "And fight with them until there is no more fitna (disorder, unbelief) and religion should be only for Allah"
Quran (8:67) - "It is not for a Prophet that he should have prisoners of war until he had made a great slaughter in the land..."
Quran (8:65) - "O Prophet, exhort the believers to fight..."

Any other silly questions, Mr. BOR?

When the left is confronted with similar questions about what “works” in the world, ie, Western, Christian culture,

they have it “wired” in their heads that the only reason that Western, Christian Culture is successful is because it oppresses the other cultures of the world, and they would be just as successful if the WCC wasn’t stifling them. It’s not true, but it’s a given to them.

Just so, they would take your question and say that Islam would be “peaceful and constructive” if it weren’t for the “threat” posed by white, Christian/Jewish, Western men.
