I believe Risky Thisket posted a chart showing that most religions preach the golden rule. This is really based on you jumping to prove the christianity is somehow superior to islam.

"Somehow superior to Islam"?

In fact it us hugely superior to Islam. I know of no area where Islam excels or where its adherents do better than those in Christian countries.

Islam is a backward religion and we can see the evidence that all around us.

How much aid do Muslim nations ever send Christian nations? Are we now, out of political correctness or sensitivity training, forced to ignore the obvious?

<<<In Indonesia, about nine-in-ten Muslims (91%) either say that their religion plays a large role in politics and that this is a good thing or that Islam plays a small role and that this is a bad thing. Similarly, at least three-quarters of Muslims in Egypt (85%), Nigeria (82%) and Jordan (76%) consider Islamic influence over political life to be a positive thing for their country, as do 69% of Muslims in Pakistan and 58% in Lebanon.>>>

<<<In Lebanon, Turkey and Indonesia, majorities of Muslims reject legalized gender segregation in the workplace. More than eight-in-ten in Lebanon (89%) and Turkey (84%) express this opinion, as do 59% of Muslims in Indonesia.[>>>


<<<When asked about the death penalty for those who leave the Muslim religion, at least three-quarters of Muslims in Jordan (86%), Egypt (84%) and Pakistan (76%) say they would favor making it the law; in Nigeria, 51% of Muslims favor and 46% oppose it. In contrast, Muslims in Lebanon, Turkey and Indonesia largely reject the notion that harsh punishments should be the law in their countries. About three-quarters of Turkish and Lebanese Muslims oppose the stoning of people who commit adultery (77% and 76%, respectively), as does a narrower majority (55%) of Muslims in Indonesia.>>>

Lol, this is why I find you christians so ridiculous. I see you the same way you see them. Despite having near identical holy texts, and having terrorized humanity for hundreds of years, you proclaim christianity to be a religion of peace, while islam is clearly wrong.

If people of a religion are to be held responsible for others of the same religion, I want you to apologize publicly for the hundreds of years that christianity ran around murdering people.
 
Christianity terrorized humanity?

Yeah, you should read up on europe between 500 AD and about 1600 AD, you wouldn't believe the atrocities the christians committed in the name of god.

In 2013 they're not. Does that excuse the hundreds of years that they did do that?

Why would I apologize for Christians? If Christians were behaving like Muslims I certainly would condemn them.

But they are not.

I gave evidence of why Islam is a backward religion and will hold that opinion until you are able to convince me otherwise.

Of course you are free to say anything you want abut the Bible and no one will kill you if you offer a negative view.

The point is that they are not doing that now while Muslims are still at it. See the difference?

Well that's just great, Grant. LOL! :roll:

According to you "the Christian religion is superior to Islam, with The Golden Rule probably being chief among them" because "The Golden Rule is something many, obviously, want to live by but it is sometimes a struggle to achieve" and you know this to be true because "Christians are not attacking their neighbors and burning down their houses". That then is the reason that Christianity is superior to Islam.

That's just feckin brilliant, Grant. Really. :blink:

Would you spend your time debating with someone who you thought was closed minded about what you were debating?

Especially someone whom you have little respect for?

Well, I would not.


Have a nice day.

There are other reasons as well, of course. Brilliant? Perhaps not. Accurate? Certainly.

Let me make this clear...I do not respect you on this subject and I could care less what your anti-Islamic opinions are of it.

I claimed no such thing and you missed my point ENTIRELY.

While I am unsure how a factual based measurement of views among Islamic population can be "anti-islamic", I too, wish you a good day

Actually I got your point but had already addressed it in another post.

Yes, we can certainly judge someone by their religious affiliation (as well as their beliefs). Why the hell not???

In fact, in America mosques are burned and people who are Islamic or perceived to be Islamic are attacked.

Mosque burned to the ground in Missouri.

Man arrested for arson of Ohio Islamic Center

Violent Attacks Since August 5 2012

As you might imagine we, unfortunately, we could post similar acts all day.

You are, again, making a false equivalency: the Pakistan violence involves large mobs rioting, is a semi frequent occurrence, and is rarely punished, unless its in response to international pressure. Clearly this is different than rare incidents of arson, which are carried out in secret, and that are heavily prosecuted under the law.

Okaaaaaaay....well, I admire that you actually admit it.

Funny I seem to recall a noteworthy man in history who also judged people by their religious affiliation.

Oh what was his name?

Oh yes...Adolf Hitler.

Sorry, Grant. It isn't correct and it isn't accurate. Religious violence does happen in America and a lot of the religious violence is perpetrated by Christians. Your whole premise built on greater Christian adherence to the Golden Rule is shot fatally in the butt. Your argument fails as it gasps one last breath, shudders and dies.

Do you read what you post? A man was charged with the fire in a Mosque, Churches were also being attacked, and no one was ever injured.

How does that compare with the topic of this thread?

But let's just add that as the international assaults from Muslims increase so will the response from those who will want revenge. That is inevitable.
