Thebanginman Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Right in reply to tab1's challenge here we are The general outlook on the Islam religion as reported in the media seems to one of a subdued religion which is happy to go with the flow and is peaceful and moderate,this is contrary to the widespread reports of atrocities,subjugation of women,anti Semitism etc that actually by its actions is the true face of Islam.Im sure we are all intelligent enough to learn which is the true face and Im also sure that questions need answering if Islam is going to be accepted in this country as a alternative or equal religion to our Christian background Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadingNorth Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Widespread reports doesn't prove widespread practice; besides which, most of the stuff about beheadings, ill-treatment of women and so on, is cultural, and existed long before Islam and would still exist if Islam were wiped out. Britain is a nominally Christian country, with widespread reports of youth crime, murders, vandalism, gang fights, football hooliganism ... ample proof, by your argument, that Christianity is an evil religion that should be exterminated.

Bloomdido Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Right, in reply to tab1's challenge here we are- The general outlook on Islam as reported in the media seems to be one of a subdued religion which is happy to go with the flow and is peaceful and moderate. This is contrary to the widespread reports of atrocities, subjugation of women, anti Semitism etc., that actually, by it's actions, is the true face of Islam. I'm sure we are all intelligent enough to learn which is the true face and I'm also sure that questions need answering if Islam is going to be accepted in this country as a alternative or equal religion to our Christian background. I have tried adding some punctuation and the odd missng word but it still reads like a 10 year-old Islamophobe has written it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retep Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 All religion is for the the weak minded they need a crutch and someone to guide them, they can't think for themselves and need to read instructions how to live life from outdated books, It seems that some are so weak minded they can't even find an up to date version.

Meem Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 There are good bits of every religion and bad parts of every culture. Its a really personal choice and you can't say weather everyone should be this religion, or atheist or whatever. If we were in a society were we were forced to be a certain religion or forbidden from chosing a religion the country would be in a very sorry state indeed.

Christian this country may be but the actual christian religion no longer governs the actions of the majority,unlike Islam where the followers base their entire way of life on the religion,the majority of christians in this country do not literally follow the wording of the Bible,indeed most of the christians in this country will only ever acknowledge their faith when pressed when filling in legal documents and such.I doubt if many so called christians could actually name the first three books of the Bible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem confused. You say the 'media' views Islam as moderate and peaceful, and then IN THE SAME SENTENCE refer to 'widespread reports' of atrocities. Presumably these 'widespread reports' are from the same 'media'. You can't even make your own argument make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is that many religion have an explicit aim of getting rid of other religions and atheists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
