Yes it is. Try that in Afghanistan, Pakistan or any other Islamic dominated country.
Attempt to denounce Muhammed or Islam over there and see what happens.
Tell your Islamic members Muhammad was a pedophile in that he had sex with a nine year old he married. Don't believe me? Research it for yourself.
That is what Islam allows.
Would I choose Islam, no. But you are trying to blame the religion for the failure of its representatives.
No. I am blaming the teachings of Islam for the behavior of their representatives.
You might want to review youtube videos of how the Muslims were celebrating over 9/11.
From your wording, I feel you very much dislike the Muslim religion of Islam. Islam started, according to the Koran, in the 7th century, approximately 600 years after the founding of Christianity. And yes they did their fair share of wars, maybe more. But the Christians were not totally free of this.
One of the differences between Islam and Christianity is the concept of Jihad. It's a part of Islam to subdue your enemies.
That is not a part of Christianity.
You really need to do some research on the history of what happens to a country when Islam takes over.
You can continue to believe the Muslims in your group are peaceful. I hope they remain that way.
But if they ever gain superiority in numbers there will only be one book on your Mason altar....the Koran.
“Try that in Afghanistan, Pakistan or any other Islamic dominated country.”
And that’s a point I would like you to ponder. We don’t live in those countries. And we wouldn’t like them to tell us what is wrong or right, so we shouldn’t either until it gets out of hand. But we do have lodges in those countries and many others. And in some, the prevailing book on the alter is the Koran. It is not my position to determine anyone with a religion that includes a deity that hasn’t learned to control their actions to stay within the world’s society expectations concerning how to run their lives. We did that when we started chasing the British out in 1776.
Furthermore, I don’t tell Catholics how to worship anymore than I tell Jewish or Polish or any other people what’s right or wrong on my say so. And if the US determines that Islam qualifies to be a religion acceptable within our borders, then at this point you could be in the minority of your belief that they aren’t. And I won’t tell you that you are wrong either. Just that if you feel that is an incorrect determination, get together with other like thinking people and get the determination changed. That’s how a democracy works. And it’s not mob rule.
But the Bible recognizes that and displays when it is to show we are as guilty as others to step into violence and out of worship:
Genesis 1:28 King James Version (KJV)
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Psalm 81:13-14
13 “Oh, that My people would listen to Me,
That Israel would walk in My ways!
14 I would soon subdue their enemies,
And turn My hand against their adversaries.
Man sins within all of them. But don’t blame all for the actions of a few. You probably don’t have the knowledge or the power to make that decision. Only God can do that. No matter whose it is or which one exists. I only know mine. It’s the same as saying there is no intelligent life in outer space. How can the person saying that consider it when there are millions of planets out there that could sustain life? And that is really arrogant to think that God put life on this little spec only. We can’t stay out of each others way. Surely it is better somewhere.
