    The term islamophobia is fraudulent in and of itself. Seeing there is no rational reason to fear Islam is ridiculous. We can look at places where Islam as the majority and these places have backward laws and bizarre punishments for things that aren't even considered crimes in the West.

    I think it's very rational and very reasonable to fear Islamic expansion in any way.

    Really. Please show us the passages from the NT that you are using as evidence for your contention. I must have missed that evidence. You must be getting this from the OT? Perhaps you should read the NT, while understanding it is the rule book for christianity, while the OT is the rule book of the Jews.

    Christ, unlike Mohammed, did not lead an army, bent on conquest and subjegation of non believers. I think that difference is very relevant.

    Anytime I've ever pointed this out to anybody who makes this type of argument they always say "but the Bible..." or "But Christianity..." and then carry on about something that happened five hundred years ago.

    I don't think people who say these things are speaking from any particular knowledge per se but I really think it's more about dishonesty then it is about the knowledge of the religion involved.

    Another thing I've often witnessed in discussions like this when you mention Islam and it's practices and dogma, people accuse you of hating Muslims. Because you took the time to learn about their religion and how it's practiced you hate them.

    None of this is honest discussion, it's personal attacks and demonizing in order to discredit anyone who criticizes Islam because of the things it practices without criticizing Christianity.

    The interesting thing about the whole deal is that Islam is what they think being conservative is. Islam is absolutely misogynistic it absolutely professors an enforced patriarchy, they do want their religion to rule everyone. They do intend on forcing it on you whether you like it or not.

    I don’t disagree with you. However I do think that you underestimate the power of these religious beliefs on peoples behavior. When an ideology that is founded on a book that was clearly to be interpreted as the truth, contains the promotion of violence against others, it is a dangerous system of beliefs. Just because a majority of people may not follow it by the letter and interpret it differently doesn’t mean that ideas itself are not dangerous. This is not exclusive to just Islam but Christianity as well and I am not one to shy away from critizing it just as harshly. However the reality is that Islam has not experienced a reformation like Christianity has. And because if this we see in many Islamic majority countries the amount of violence and discrimination against women and people who do not follow they’re own beliefs. This is not because of western culture or interventionism (granted it has helped) but because of the tenets of Islam interpreted as they were intended.

    So, we have a couple verses in the New testament, that may be traced to violence, and that compares with many, many, hundreds in Islam that relate to violence, and that makes it even.....MMMM>>>KK

    The entire storyline of Muhammed is violence, murder, rape, thievery.

    And Jesus never did any of these things.

    Just a couple verses where he didn't actually do anything

    It's not a mater of being God or not. Muhammed is the main character in a religion followed by over a billion people.
    He is the person people are supposed to pattern their lives after.
    He was a liar, thief, murderer, rapist, terrorist, slave trader, and a slew of other adjectives, none good.

    Jesus for example, was none of these.

    I'll give you folks an example.

    One of you Muslim wanabees, post a couple verses by Muhammed that are good.

    I'll give you a hint, there are a couple, but you really have to cherry pick, and look hard to find them.

    O Messenger of Allah! It is a great Mercy of God that you are gentle and kind towards them; for, had you been harsh and hard-hearted, they would all have broken away from you" (Quran 3:159).

    Sahih International:(3:159) So by mercy from Allah , [O Muhammad], you were lenient with them. And if you had been rude [in speech] and harsh in heart, they would have disbanded from about you. So pardon them and ask forgiveness for them and consult them in the matter. And when you have decided, then rely upon Allah. Indeed, Allah loves those who rely [upon Him].


    LOLOL

    I asked for one by him, not about him.

    And the Qur'an is not the source for one, just to make your looking easier.
    The one you posted for example has 2 speakers..



    still looking for a verse by Muhammed of goodness.

    All those wanabee Muslims out there, and you can't find a couple verses by Muhammed, that are good.
    There is about 1500 pages of fine print, devoted to Muhammed.

    What's the matter.

    This is really important to you. Its really quite sad. You have a mission on here and it is to bash Islam despite all the evidence to the contrary.

    You are talking about a fraction of one percent. Do the math.

    NO,, what is sad is your response, lie after lie, after lie.
    I am discussing Islamic text.
    I am not bashing Muslims, I am bashing Islam.
    People in the west need to know what it is about.

    and what is this evidence to the contrary.
    I'll wait

    LOLOL


    so you can't come up with one thing by Muhammed, and it's my fault.
