This Vale Of Tears
Indian Papist
It's an important thing to understand. When I talk about the evils if Islam, I always get a retort from the sycophants that not all Muslims are bad (as if I claimed they were!) There can be good people in an evil religion, but that religion is still evil and has, throughout its 1300 year history and today, inflicted more suffering, bloodshed, and misery than any other religion in the history of man. Islamic nations are ruled by religion and fear. They execute people for all manner of offenses, real or imagined, and do so in the public square. Life in an Islamic country is a life of terror, anger, poverty, and despair. And wherever Islam spreads, like a metastasizing cancer, it brings death and misery.Arnie Manitoba said:Something needs to be said here
-- nobody disputes the fact that many Muslims are nice people
-- some atheists are even nicer ... so what ?
-- I do not think Americans have ever had an ingrained dislike for Muslims
-- rather it is the Muslims who tend to dislike Americans.
-- Muslims dislike the Son of God (they deny God even has a son)
-- Most Muslims usually hate Israel and the Jews ... the Jews do not hate the Muslims
--If a Muslim in a Muslim country coverts to Christianity they will likely be killed
--There is a limit to Muslim "niceness"
But when any of this is mentioned, the self-righteous retort comes back, "Well not all Muslims bomb people or believe in violence". Oh really? I would argue that silence is consent when it comes to the violence committed in the name of Islam. If any Christian committed these acts, they would be roundly condemned in every corner of Christianity. There is simply no fertile soil in the Church for bloodshed and terrorism in the name of God. Though a few Muslims do decry the violence, the silence among the majority of Muslims speaks volumes. And in countries dominated by Muslims, polls have found that the majority actually approve of suicide bombings and other acts of terror to advance the religion.
Another dunderheaded response I get is that Christians have had their scandals and misdeeds as well. It's almost as if to say that if any Christian does something wrong in the name of Christianity then Christianity is equal to Islam in offenses. In this argument there is no consideration for proportion, history, or the incalculable good that Christians have been to the whole world in bringing Western Civilization with all its blessings to every continent on earth. Muslims sent armies and Christians sent missionaries. Muslims carried the sword and Christians carried the gospel of peace. There's simply no comparison both today and historically between Christianity and Islam.
But the sycophants are stuck on stupid.
