It seems to me quite clear that religion does indeed instill animosity simply by existing, History is ripe with the resulting bloodshed. When one God tells us to reject another it pits itself against all others and allows the followers to state someone is wrong.

Islam - to a T.

cerise ,l think you have some difficulty in understanding the concept of muslim and islamist

crusaders were not more innocent than islamists but you had said " what a shame they lost "

l am glad they lost ..........

Then you are an Islamist ?, and you wish to do what the crusaders tried to stop >> Muslim Imperialism, which now in 2013, is the attempt to destroy all of Western civilization, and enact a worldwide caliphate, with the whole world living under the hideous totalitarianism, and vile characteristics of Islam.

Yes Islam is religion just like other religion they believe in God and they called it Allah

While it is perfectly permissable to post a simple thought, and certainly no rules against it, it would be better if the post did address the points made in the OP.

That is the definition of ignorance, yes.

Islam can be validly attacked without much knowledge, or with mountains of knowledge. And the more knowledge one has of it, the stronger and more valid the attack. This is just the result of Islam's character + its history.

I might take you more seriously if you were attacking religious extremism in general. As it is you're a coward freaking out about cavemen (literally) that, in the grand scheme of things, are an irrelevant footnote in history. Worse still you then point to this ridiculously small group of delusional primitives and try to make it out as if they represent 2,000,000,000 people, nevermind the fact the math doesn't work (an army that large would steamroll the West in about a day ;)).

Not quit e sure I understand what this post is saying, but I'll say a few things here anyway.

1. Muslims (however many they were) altered the entire face of the Middle East (which was originally non-Muslim), North Africa, and southern Europe, by forcing their ideology on millions of people.

2. It only takes a FEW "delusional primitives" (actually they are people who are following the Koran as it's written) to impose immense harm. Look at what 19 of them did on 9-11. Look at what one did in Fort Hood. ANd imagine what just one with a suitcase nuke could do in a high population density city like New York.

When it comes to Muslim jihadists, numbers is less relevant than the notion in the heads of these lunatics >> to kill as many "infidels" as possible.

But right now I'm really more concerned with this >> http://politicalfray.com/current-events/3964-zimmerman-critics-read-others-too.html

All Abrahamic religions worship a war god, why are you only focusing on the one that as done the least amount of damage?

1. Islam has done BY FAR THE MOST amount of damage. Just up to 1900, Islam's maniacal marauders had killed 270 million people around the world. 120 million Africans, 80 million Hindus, 60 million Christians, 10 million Buddhists. Others do not exhibit the extreme intolerance that Islam does.

2. Christianity does not worship a "war god: Where on earth did you pick that up from ? Wow.

1. Christianity wiped out 90% of the people in the Americas. The Hindus invented suicide bombing. The Buddhists nearly conquered Europe and only the timely death of the Mongol Khan stopped them and they continue to murder Muslims and christians in SE Asia. In the grand scheme of things, Islam has done the least damage, only being an issue for the past 50 odd years.

2. Yahweh (the Abrahamic god) is a war/storm god. The fact that you don't know this proves that you're talking out of your ass.

Christianity did no such thing. That is one of most preposterous statements I've ever read in this forum. Talk about talking out of your ass. Pathogenic microbes wiped out most of the people in the Americas who died after European contact.. As for the conquistadores, they weren't religious. They came over for gold, wealth, and patriotism, and couldn't have cared less about religion. The ones who did push religion, got wiped out themselves by the indigenous people.

Yes, Islam is a religion. But personally, I think the proper question is, among the countless religions present today, which is the true religion?

None are including atheism since no human being is able to prove anything beyond the natural universe. We're all guessing.

My dictionary defines "religion" as a system of beliefs, with a code of ethics. Shouldn't this disqualify systems with codes of UNethics ? (ie. Islam)

I believe whatever practices a country uses for justice is that countries right too. Is it right to them it is, it may not be with us but we have no right to tell another country how to rule its people.

So you think 1940s Americans (et al) would have no right to tell Hitler and Nazi Germany that they shouldn't slaughter millions of Jews ? Or that we shouldn't tell Muslim countries to stop oppressing women so badly ?

but Islam does have a code of ethics, both codified (the 5 pillars) and not (the various morale lesions in the Quran and hadiths).

Though both Islam and Christianity have much the same problem in my eyes (the followers ignoring the parts that make religion good)....only one of them has taken it to the point of killing people en mass as a result.
