Christianity is the religion of peace. Hinduism is the religion of peace, etc etc etc

All religions advocate peace but SOME of the individuals who claim to practice them are actually practicing one and the same single religion of hatred. They may be using different words but their hateful actions speak louder....

So they're all morally equivalent in 2009? I suggest you stop listening to George Bush and actually read the Koran.

You obviously know nothing about Islam or world history. So why make pronouncements about it? Why not read some books?

Kati -

Methinks you have bought CAIR's line... there is only one religion today which contains any theologically-sound grounds for deliberate slaughter of non-believers.

Why don't you explain why it appears to you as if Kati doesn't know anything bout Islam or world history?

You probably can't, actually, because you're an idiot.

KatherineKatherine -

The notion that there is some kind of moral equivalence between the ideology of islam and the theology of Christianty or Buddhism is absurd. If you need to know more, consider just these two illustrations:

  1. Look at the treatment of women under sharia - both empirically, around the world, and theologically/"juristically" (e.g. lesser standing as a source of evidence...).
  2. Look at the approach to apostates or blasphemers between these three religions. Only one entails pronouncements of death - still noisily demanded around the world for apostates (recall the poor soul who converted to Christianity soon after the initial overthrow of the Taliban in Afghanistan?).

There's more, but maybe I am an idiot too. Perhaps you will enlighten me. But, please don't suggest that Christianity has a bad history - I've noted in these threads before, the fact that Christianity behaved in a mediaeval manner in mediaeval times does not justify tolerance for islam behaving in a mediaeval manner in modern times.

Nick Banglo did a good job explaining why Islam wasn't really a "religion of peace" the way Kati and George W. Bush say it is.

Obviously, there's a lot more to it than that, but you may have to turn off Jerry Springer and pick up a book to find out.
