Yes I do, and many X muslims, However "Muslims" per say, are a bad source of information if you have serious questions about Islam, and I can get into this. I have often made the statement, "I know more about Islam than most muslims do, and am prepared to back that up. And I have also said. Muslims and Islam, are two different things.
Well then you're judging Islam the same way as those who judge Christianity by the KKK. I however, chose not to do that and believe what a Muslim says about their religion.
BTW, I am familiar with both Christianity and the KKK, and I judge them differently from each other and Islam.
Have you or anyone the world over, ever heard of religious freedom? I would say tolerance, but I don't like that word 'tolerance', like 'we tolerate it' - No, I say freedom. Freedom to believe in whatever you believe, whatever gets you through the night, as long as it's not hurting anybody.
And something to point out, the KKK calls for the separation of its nemesis. Islam calls for the killing of them,
The Islamic doctrine is written around robbing and killing people. Perhaps you are getting false info from your muslim friends. Of course, they are ordered to give you false information. )Taquyya)
There are lots of Nazi's and KKK members who are fine people, never hurt anyone. This does not mean I will not condemn their doctrine.
There were 9 crusades 4 major ones, into an area the size of New Jersey. There were over 550 jihads into Europe, mostly coastal slave runs, but into all of Spain, For booty. Blond haired virgins were a prize.
Does it not also say forgive thy enemy? Maybe Islamphobia can be cured by good new testament Christianity. Believe in the righteousness of God against all evil, and you shall be alright my friend. No matter what a doctrine says, another doctrine'll always say something else. So you propose to deal with Islam by becoming The Ultimate Muslim and follow your Jihadist/Crusade ? Or you want to believe in God? Good over evil? And not let hate consume.
I prefer education over blind hatred. Islam preaches hate, turn the other cheek and get your whole head knocked off.
I'm not saying sending lambs to the slaughter in God's name... Make a Christian soldier when need be to defend God as well as believe in God. But I'm not agreeing that Muslims in the occident are the same as ISIS. There's a war going on with Russia and Syria and Iran's getting hot. ISIS is the threat, not the Mosque in the west.
The threat is the written doctrine of the religion. None of this is addressed when muslims speak to the west, it is covered up, however more and more westerns are learning about the religion to accept a coverup. I'll give you an example.
He can't, if he speaks the truth, he will be met with resistance from the westerners. If he lies, the muslims will reject him.
I am especially upset with muslims in a free country, they do not have to be in the religion, it is their free will. These people should be speaking out against it.
Western cultures and society place value on the rights and opinions of women, Islam tends to do the opposite and most Americans have sisters, mothers and wives they love and respect which makes us consider what would happen to them under Islam.
Bukari: “”the prophet said, "isn't the witness of a woman equal to half of that of a man?" the women said, "yes." he said, ";this is because of the deficiency of a womans brain.”
Muslims are people - so what. Hitler was a person, Stalin was a person, Jeffrey Dahmer was a person. The muslim who lit this fire was a person: This Muslim about to behead British humanitarian aid worker David Haines was a person: The muslim about to lower this cage under water was a person: So, muslims are people, just the worst kind of people, people who live in depravity. People who enjoy torturing, raping, murdering.
I use examples of when there is a stoning, and there are many videos online, I chose not to post them. All eyes are usually on the person getting stoned, but look at the people participating, picking rocks, comparing them, smiling like they are at a grand event, patting each other on the back. They are murdering someone, usually a woman, for some stupid reason, and enjoying the day, like they are at a party.
