People justifying ignorant behavior based on hatred and fear because of religious teaching.

etc. so on and so forth
Just like the Sunni/Shia debacle which is largely the cause of us having to STAY in Iraq much.

Religion is just a for-prophet busine$$.

Maybe I $should $tart my own religion!? I could use a few more bucks.

It can also increase one's SEXUAL power:
*Mohammad said a man can have 4 wives, but a woman only 1 husband. But the Quran conveniently exempted MOHAMMAD from this limit….Mohammad had 12 wives, and many mistresses: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad's_marriages

*Mohammad forbade HIS widows from re-marrying after his death: http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/033.qmt.html

*Mohammad actually ordered Muslims to give some of the booty they plunder to HIM: http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/008.qmt.html
...wait, am I translating "booty" correctly here?

You know, it just keeps getting weirder and weirder in Islam...read this recent example of Islam getting in the way of true love!


Morocco: Women must not marry non-Muslim European men, says imam.
From http://www.adnkronos.com/AKI/English...1.0.2284553321
Morocco: Women must not marry non-Muslim European men, says imam
Rabat, 25 June (AKI) - An imam in Morocco's eastern city of Fez has said that marriages between Moroccan women and European men who are not Muslims are forbidden under Islam. [....]



I also recommend SecularIslam.org for a positive alternative to all the supremacism over the Infidel that exists under Sharia Law.

Yes. I believe Islam, along with all other religions, is just a made up story. That much is obvious from the irrational, human-like behavior god is described as having in any religious text. In a way, we know the mind of god too well.

It's funny how the "prophets" Mohammad and the Mormon "prophet" were the ONLY ones, at that particular time, that god happened to give his vital messages too! There was no corroberation (sp?).

It's like, "uh, yeah, believe me that god only spoke to me, and didn't tell, uh, anybody else basically at that time, cause I'm, uh, so special...no really, he did just speak just to me, no really..."

Channelling John Luvit's SNL chronic-liar character: "god only spoke to me...yeah, yeah, THAT'S the ticket!"

Mohammad also tried to pass off on Muslims the belief that god said ONLY MOHAMMAD could have more than 4 wives at once....yeah, (channeling Dr. Evil riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!

I would argue that Christianity can stand in the way of true love also.

I agree, yet there are no Christian bashing threads.

Wonder why that is...oh yeah - because it's so much more fun to indulge in a little Islam bashing.
