Without bashing any other religion can someone sing the praises of Islam and Muslims? Saying crap like "what about the Crusades?" or making fun of fundamentalist Christians who think the earth is 5000 years old is not a defense of Islam. I have studied Islam in some depth and so far I have been unable to find any redeeming values in Islam or the history of Islam. All I can find is evil.
Does Islam have any redeeming value? If so what?
Not really. I don't like Islam. Then again I don't like Christianity, Judaism or any of the other fantasy story religion things. Some are better than others.
However it's not really the point.
I don't like basketball or football either. Does that mean they should be banned? Does it mean people shouldn't play them because I DON'T LIKE THEM?
Not really.
Freedom of religion is part of the Constitution, I stand by the Constitution, more than that I stand by the theory of Human Rights which says people should be able to do whatever they like as long as it doesn't infringe on the rights of others.
So, as long as Muslim doesn't go around infringing on my rights or the rights of others, I couldn't give a damn what fairy story they believe in, I don't care what they do, I don't care what they believe or what they say.
How about we call Nazism a religion? Islam is far worse than Nazism. Do you think putting a religious label should give it protection?
No where, not in one word I said, did I say we should give it any protection. I said individuals are individuals and they should be treated as so. A religion doesn't mean anything. Someone who is intolerant is intolerant, take them on this.
A Nazi would almost certainly try and take away people's rights. I know of various far right groups and some of their main policies include taking away people's rights. Therefore they do not get protection for being the individuals.
If a Muslim is into taking away people's rights, then they have no protection.
A religion is nothing, it's a label, a meaningless label. You can't say everyone in a religion is like this or that, unless of course there is only one person in the religion.
