It’s interesting the way socialists approach theological concepts but when it comes to Islam they are not the only ones who refuse to approach the issue. That even includes leading Christian clergy including Pope Francis.
Followers of Mohammed not only claim, but truly believe that God has authorized them to kill those who refuse to submit to their version of God’s will. That is a basic tenet of that religion. A claim which goes unchallanged. While it’s understandable for atheists which most socialists are, not to approach that claim on a theological basis. It’s bewildering why any Christian clergy refuse to admit it even exists and is a basic part of Islam creed and worse yet are unable to condem it.
The Koran and its enforcement of sharia law is a pseudo religious concoction using monotheistic selected texts taken and misconstrued from the new and old testaments. Both of which followers under the severest of penalties are forbidden to read. That institutionalizes disgusting arab tribal views, observances,and customs. Claiming adhearants are authorized by our Creator to demand submission to it or suffer an ignominious death administered by its followers.

Actually, you’re catastrophically wrong, poet. The modern day iteration of Islam is a regurgitation of pre-Islamic mores, that Mohammed tried to destroy. As much as Jesus tried to destroy the power of the Jewish elites who had reduced Judaism to endless legalism
ISIS is pagan Mecca, trying to garb itself in the cloak of Mohammed’s monotheism, with an almost Talmudic adherence to the law.
Basically, its the Sanhedrin gone wild. So, obsessed with legalisms that they cant see the forest for the trees.
I believe the reason is if the Christian Clergy put Islam under tough scrutiny, their own religion may also get that same treatment.
It is very hard in this day and age to defend a belief in supernatural beings.
They would have to fall back on the old "It's a matter of Faith".
Which would also apply to Muslims. -Tom
