So you say, others may not agree. And I am not making a comparison between Islam and other religions, but I would agree with you in sentiment.

Who cares if others don't agree? Some people still believe the world is flat and others believe the God of Islam is not the God of Christianity or Judaism. Just because somebody doesn't agree with something doesn't make them right. The issue of Islam not being a religion of peace is mere hyperbole. If Islam wasn't a religion of piece, then closer to the billion of people that worship Islam would be committing crimes, than the small percentage of morons that are currently in Isis, etc.

Well, I would take the approach that Islam is poisonous to the mind, and would start or support a world wide human rights campaign to collect all Qurans and have them all burned, yes.

I would not strike Muslim services. They can go on worshipping as they wish. But I would stamp out their holy book and thus extinguish their 72 virgins mythology which has proved to be too dangerous for the world.

Really? That is exactly how a dictator would act.

The 72 virgins mythology isn't found in the Koran. Please enlighten me how burning Korans will extinguish this idea. :lamo

Using this logic, Hitler was a human rights advocate.

So, this thread has turned into what I had expected it to: a xenophobic rant.

A good book burning makes for a nice warm fire to dance around.

The world would be a better place without Islam.

It's in the Quran. You need to follow the scripture stream.

If you don't know where to find the 72 virgins in the Quran then you are not qualified to discuss the Quran -- just as I thought to begin with.

Really, where is it in the Koran? Please show me.

You're just dodging the point, because you cannot prove your very own claim.

So, that's it? The world would be better off without Islam? A book burning? That's all you have to offer to this debate? Just mindless xenophobia?

Have we gotten lots of defenses of the religion of peace from left wingers and atheists? OMG the Crusades, think of the Crusades!

Only the illiberal, authoritarian portion of the left.

which seems to outnumber actual liberals by at least 10-1 here.
 
Theres a video out there of two topless women interrupting am islamic speaker at a podium.

At first they turn their backs to the women like "eek"...but then they decide to start kicking and punching the women.

Haven't heard any lefties explain how peaceful that is.

Boobies and Islamists-a recipe for success. Truly a religion of peace! :roll:

Do you have a link to that.

As it is not in the Quran, what qualifies you to be an authority?

WATCH=> Muslims Drag, Beat and Kick Topless Femen Protesters Off Stage - The Gateway Pundit

The women stormed the stage and basically said nobody makes them submit, to which the "peaceful" muslims started screaming they were whores and to kill them.

Lefties wont touch this with a 12 foot pole-not sure if its because of the topless women or a two "protected" classes (feminists and muslims) fighting. :lol:

Both sides were wrong in their actions.

Drop the equivocation. There was nothing those topless leftists did to deserve being beaten.

This is whats known as the clash of Islamic values (openly beating women), and the aggressive in-your-face techniques of feminists.

Both are "protected" by lefties, allowed to do and say what they wish.


Only thing about that-if they get together its not so pretty.


Leftists will ignore this because it will bring up some uncomfortable conclusions, and its easier to ignore reality.

The women were idiots- Where did I state they should be beaten. The men should have been charged.

Which in your view was worse? (I know getting to the heart of the matter is difficult for leftists-to state the truth is seen as "hateful", despite it being obviously true)

Lemme guess, they are both "equally" bad. :lol:
 
How many people did Jesus kill, and how many people did Mohammed kill?

Why are the women idiots for demonstrating against Islamic sublimation of women?
