Muslims are intolerant of other religions. As Christians, we should join together to eliminate Islam.
Wow this thread turned into a neckbeard/fat lady with tattoos circle jerk quickly...
quote:Josef Stalin and Mao Zedong say hi.quote:Perhaps you're correct to some extent, but seems that the source of the problem is religion in general.quote:quote:
Religion of peace?
You have your extremist in every religious group...
That line no longer works. It's tired and misleading. Apologists have blood on their hands now, too.
quote:it very likely could be argued that from the time man first walked this earth until now that religion has been the driving force behind most innovation. I am not much into history and such but for all the "bad" you associate to religion there is a crap ton of good.quote:Correct, but my point is not that your religion or someone else's is bad. My point/belief is that the concept and practice of religion (including converting others) has had a negative impact on the masses throughout history, including this. That isn't to say that there has not been good accomplished (helping the poor for one), but overall it seems that attacks such as this one, and in history, have been carried out in the name or practice of a religion.quote:well aware. religion didn't make bad people bad.
and you might want to look at history and what was done throughout time in the name of religion.
The attacks such as this are nothing more than radicals preying on uneducated fools under the guise that their religion will give them power, be that in this life or what they believe is in the next, they do not have or cannot themselves achieve.
Again, understand that islamic radicals feed off of the malleable nature of uneducated people from 3rd world countries.
I understand your POV and also agree.
quote:While this is true, this particular religion's extremists are currently sitting in first place for Worst Religious Extremists by a large margin. 1000 years from now Christians or Buddhists or followers of some religion that hasn't been invented yet could be in first, but in 2016 the Muslim extremists are the undisputed champs.quote:

quote:Maybe we could set up a nation-state that is void of religion to stop the violence. Like China during the cultural revolution. Then nobody would die senselessly.quote:All of it.
Islam as a religion? Or, all religion?

It's done much more good than bad. Hth
meanwhile, in Cuba..
Our limp wristed metrosexual ****** in charge is on it.
So how do you solve the problem?
Muslims are crazier than Scientologists.
And that's saying a LOT.
And that's saying a LOT.
The real trouble is that violent people will always be violent, no matter their cause or excuse.
The violence in Mexico has nothing to do with religion and it may be even more heinous than these whack jobs.

Religion is an important part of many cultures and is not in and of itself a bad thing. However, in my opinion, religious extremism of any kind is a form of mental illness.

Trump will solve. Don't worry about it. It'll be great.

Sounds fun. I took undergrad history classes too. But some people really need to focus on what's happening right now. Enlightened ambiguity is no consolation to the friends and family members of the victims who were murdered simply for stepping into an airport or subway station.
quote:I agree with this.

However, the extremists in the Muslim community seem to be in charge and are more vocal and much more violent and crazy than the extremists in other religions.
And that brings up another point. How many people in Mexico have been killed over drug violence. No one is yelling, "Those damn Catholic Terrorists! Let's nuke them."

Does anyone in Mexico claim to be killing in the name of the Catholic faith?
And the anti-Christian bigots pour out of the woodwork on this thread....

What if extremism is a core belief of a religion?
The problem with Muslim terrorists is that they welcome death.
It's hard to control terrorism when the threat of death is not a deterrence.
Most other terrorism can be controlled by shooting back.

Another problem is that this violence is also supported and encouraged by their book of faith and deity.

I'm warming to the idea that having a belief system is hard-coded into humanity. For much of history, it's taken the form of religion. For followers of Lenin or Mao, religion was replaced with belief in the state. For many today, it's worshiping at the altar of science or environmentalism or whatever.

People want to believe they have a purpose of some sort.

quote:Oh, so it only matters because they are claiming to do it based on religion. Those dummys should just stop saying that they are killing because of their religion and no one will be the wiserquote:
