The problem with the useful idiot portion of the left is their multiculturalist dogmatism where they support feminism if it concerns white women of their own culture, but support the hideous misogyny if it arises from a person of color. They lack the intelligence necessary to see the double standards, and their indoctrination overrides all else.

In their hierarchy of isms, sexism takes a back seat to racism, and they are so terrified of being called racist that they will allow all manner of atrocities to be committed against women to prove it. The rape scandal in Rotherham and other ares in Britain are a perfect example, where authorities turned a blind eye to Muslims raping underage British girls (and following Mohammad's example there) because they had so been brow beaten into submission by political correctness that they would rather sacrifice their own children than criticize Islam.

True,

No one should be above the law, and multiculturalism is not an exception.
 
We should start a human rights campaign and collect up all the Qurans and burn them.

Just so long as we do the same with Bibles.
 
Has nothing to do with any of the other books.

The other books of the other religions are not violent and murderous like the Quran.

I would beg to disagree. You just have an irrational bias toward the Bible.

Still waiting for a reply on my post to you.

Look at Buddhists.
Then look at how they are murdering Muslims.
it is not the book, it is how it is used by believers.

There is nothing there you could not claim about Christianity.

If Islam itself is the problem how is it possible the more than 2.5 million Muslims in the US have committed the least amount of attacks in the US?
Breathtakingly Disingenuous Attempt narrowing/Twisting the Universe of Islam (Instead of what we ARE talking about), to 1/6 of 1% of the planet's Muslims.
The [Subjugated] USA population.
"Inherent" doesn't mean ALL Muslims, in ALL locations, are more violent EVERY day.
It does mean, that because of what's Stated/INHERENT in their scripture, they ARE More Prone to Violence.


I had already conceded there are (Much 'Larger') 1-2% sects (Sufis etc) that are generally peaceful.

That does NOT change the fact that Islam is Inordinately (I use that adjective 95% of the time) but also, due to it's scripture, Inherently Violent.. AND intolerant.

The worldwide stats, you don't even want to get into, bear that out.
And as to what you Thought was your Best/bullet-proof claim, you are WRONG too.
And What does this mean?
Brischera: "..how is it possible the more than 2.5 million Muslims in the US have committed the LEAST amount of attacks in the US?"

Less than WHO?
Less than anyone/everyone else?
Less than their share?
"Least", no less, (3 or more groups) is wrong in ANY case.
They have committed less than Christians, but have committed an INORDINATELY Large amount of attacks for 1% of the USA population they are.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism_in_the_United_States#1990s

That's about 20% of the attacks in the last 25 Years.
Again, INORDINATELY Violent.

Of course, if you include Foiled Terror attacks, they/the 1% USA Muslim pop, probably even have an absolute Majority of them.
50 Foiled plots - and perhaps 200 arrests - in/against America since 9/11
Heritage.org
50 Terror Attacks Foiled Since 9/11
and that was JUST 2001-2011

So even in your Cherry-picked Mini-population of 1/6th of 1% that constitute USA Muslims, you got Shredded.
Islam IS Inordinately and Inherently Violent.

They're much more dangerous.. even here.

That goes for Cephus, Janfu, and few more "all religions are the samers".

I have never read any Buddhist texts that encourage its followers to wage war until the entire world is Buddhist, give instructions for the proper method for decapitating one's foes, or where Buddha told his followers to rape women in front of their Husbands.

Could you do me a solid and point me in the right direction? THanks.

You made the claims, you make the posts and links.

Why are you even discussing this issue if you know nothing whatsoever about it?
 
Good luck getting one.
I learned this from a good Army buddy.
And I generally learned to have the patience of a vulture.
Not always, but loved the meaning of it and how it works in life.

Oh I do.
Not interested in non answers. Now as you cannot answer. i will take that into consideration on your future posts regarding Islam.
Grasshopper, do not be afraid of ignorance of an issue.
The loss is yours if you refuse the opportunity to learn.
Google, not myself is your friend.

I don't think the Buddhists even have a book of their own. With them everything seems to be oral tradition.

Which by analogy suggests that if all the Qurans in the world were burned, then similarly the Islamists would still go on murdering, beheading, and setting on fire people even though the notion of 72 virgins in Valhalla is taken away from them.

Buddhists opposed the French in Indochina -- and rightly so -- as well as opposing the USA in Indochina -- and also rightly so. They are not adverse to preach the killing of their opponents. But in their case there is nothing to burn.

Actually, like I have told you and others here before, you need to chop up the "Bible" in two when you talk about it because only the latter half of it (written from 60 A.D. to 100 A.D.) is applicable to Christianity, and it is all pacifist.

The early part of it (written from 1450 BCE through 125 BCE) is Jewish not Christian, and there are some fairly strict if not violent rules in that part. Even so the Jews have been a fairly tolerant people since about 120 A.D. and especially since 1948 as well. They don't go around murdering people, setting them on fire, or beheading them like Muslims do in the name of Allah Akbar.

Most people who are totally ignorant of Judaism and of Christianity simply do not know the difference in these two totally unrelated parts of the Bible.

It became fashionable for the Holy Catholic Church (even prior to the schism with the Eastern Orthodox Church) to print Bibles with the Jewish section and the Christian section combined.

This fashion was then followed by the Protestants starting with King Henry 8th and Martin Luther.

Thus everyone Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant, atheist, agnostic, and anti-theist was brainwashed into thinking it is one big book written by the Hand Of God reaching down from the Heavens with pen and ink.

Your comment reflects that absurdity as well.

Not true. Buddhists have a body of scriptures called the Sutras (in Sanskrit) or the Suttas (in Pali), in the Mahayana and Theravada traditions, respectively.

And do these tell you that you will get 72 virgins in Valhalla for murdering, burning, and beheading people like the Quran does?
 
In its proper format it is of peace... the holy Quran is like a detailed report of what happened in the new and old testaments. Just read the book with an open mind kinda like a jury and come to know that Allah and God are the same...

The Quran doesn't say anything at all about Valhalla.
