When we don't mock all religions, when instead we give them respect, we support fanatics. Fanatics have no foothold without the moderates.

So should we rid the world of islam somehow? Doesnt this type of rhetoric just prevent cultures coexisting and promote islamic extremism?

If something as simple as this sort of criticism can push moderate Muslims to support the killing of noncombatants, then that is telling

That's what the Judeo-Christian bibles say to do, so... They also tell you how to pimp your kids, buy slaves, and which babies to kill.

I don't get that when someone is critical of Islam, everyone jumps to WBC, 12 inbred fucks. There are millions that support radical Islam.

I think the religion is hateful and oppressive even without the extremists

I'd take a Westboro Baptist protesting a funeral over a Muslim burning and infidel to death.

I'd take a muslim burning a guy to death rather than a Christian minister torturing and raping 2 boys until one dies. Is this a contest?

No this argument cannot become a contest, that is self defeating.

I'd take the peaceful followers of any religion over the extremists of any other. Though, I've never seen an extremist buddhist.

Depends on the person, really. Coming from a Muslim background (I don't identify as such), I can tell you there are good people and cunts.

True, but it's not the people @OP is talking about. It's the religion itself. The things that it teaches. For example:

Well then every religion is shitty. Maybe people should follow the teachings of the one who introduced the religion (1/2)

(2/2) rather than the book they didn't write.

well to be fair, this pretty much applies to all religions. heck, there's even been massacres in the name of buddhism in the past.

You do realize that it's just as easy to cherry-pick negative messages from the Bible and Torah as well right?

Oh, absolutely. The difference being these are being acted on en masse in today's world, while most of the negative bible verses aren't.

Most Christians would be horrified if they actually read Leviticus.

While it seems fairly easy for a moslem to find koranic justification for despicable behavior, I don't understand how a buddhist could

reasonably justify those actions.
orangorilla
I think you just need to be obsessed with your ideology, people go to their religious texts to justify what they already think.
lGneousMlracIe
Everyone saying "that's true of every religion," just doesn't understand Islam. The goal of Islam is to destroy everything non-Islamic (1/3)
ravnicrasol
And Christians didn't want "Fake converts" and created the Inquisition, killing tens of thousands for false charges. Religion is the excuse.
josithefox
Every major religion is ultimately mutually exclusive
lGneousMlracIe
(2/3) Islam teaches non-proselytization. That means a Muslim may not convert a non-Muslim into Islam. While religions are based around
lGneousMlracIe
(3/3)bringing your neighbors "into the light," Islam is based around killing anyone in the dark. Jihad isn't radical Islam; it's just Islam.
skysailor93
Every religion has their shit, but I think its because people bastardized them. There are plenty of Muslims who respect other non-Muslims.

As a turk, trust me when I say those are the minority.
