Sweden, if we really can call it that anymore, yes.

The OP is as hateful and bigoted as it is factually incorrect.


Actually, there was nothing hatefull in the OP. It is CLEARLY speculation based on the facts that are out there for everybody to see...if they so choose. Lighten up and add something useful to the conversation, such as, why you think the OP is wrong. Otherwise, you really have no business posting.



"with great power, comes great responsibility."

Now im not being racist or anything of the nature but... Islam is the ONLY religion that i know of, that blows up the same relgion for minor belief differences. Think if Christans were suicide bombers blowing up Catholic churches and towns, that is where im getting at.

You're incorrect. Northern Ireland during the Troubles is a counter-example.

I was JUST about to say that.

The conflict between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland is a perfect example of that, let's not forget the good ol' crusades, back in the day..



Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.

But I have to say to some extent I do not like Islam due to the fact that it's not moving forward, there are modern Muslims, but they are relatively few and far inbetween. I find myself having decent conversations with those, and there are those that shun me for not believing in Allah, they're onto something in regards to Laws as I think the Western laws got a bit too lenient(See the release of paedophile under a new identity) as a perfect example, but there are cases when it's just taken to the extreme and stuns growth, I for one, completely disagree with the treatment of women as a "property".

In terms of religions, Islam is my least favourite. Tbh I don't have one that I do prefer hence my Agnostic-Atheist stance, but I do kind of like Buddhism, except I can't stop eating meat(Beef in particular) and meditation takes too much time, but I do appreciate the values that they preach.

Like pretty much everyone has said in the mod queue, intolerance without any purpose, locked

What are you trying proof here? Seriously you've just dumbfounded me, I also sense some islamaphobic under-tones in this thread.

*Lock please*


Im not trying to prove anything, I just wanna hear people's opinnion abut the text

"After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and genocide"

What do you expect me to say after seeing this?

I can see why people are looking into Islam in such a bad light in the western world, it doesn't help that more and more terrorist attacks are happening. Let me reiterate that Islam is a religion of peace and I try to advocate that message e.g. I really care if someone is gay or isn't it isn't my life we have free-will for a reason. I also tolerate that people have different faith to my own even then I don't give a rat's ass if your hindu, jew, christian or even a damn satanist if you don't restrict my freedoms why do I have the right to restrict yours.

Your posting is a pretty idealistic view and doesn't put things in the right perspective.

Whenever anybody says anything negative about Islam, somebody always leaps to its defence with the statement that if you just read the Qur'an, it's fine and dandy and peaceful and tolerant.

I'm sure, on paper, Islam is absolutely fine, and does not permit genocide, oppression, or terrorism. But seriously, look around you.

How many Christian dictatorships are there in the world? How many Jewish? Hindu? Buddhist? Zoroastrian? Now, how many Muslim? Which countries constantly have the highest corruption indices and the worst freedoms when these lists are compiled? Perhaps a handful of countries in Eastern Europe or sub-Saharan Africa, but the rest are in the Middle East.

Just look at the revolutions currently going on in the Middle East. The people don't want to be ruled like that. They don't like Islamism. They don't want to be oppressed and imprisoned and killed for violating Sharia law.

Bearing all of this in mind, is it really relevant whether the actions of Muslim dictators are permitted by the Qu'ran? The Qu'ran certainly hasn't stopped them from committing the atrocities that they have.

You cannot judge a religion based on its writings. You have to look at the actions of its followers. Yes, it's a small minority of Islam's followers that have done all of those horrible things in the name of the religion. That minority is, however, a lot larger than similar minorities in any other religion.

Is that because of the Qur'an? Probably not. Is it because of cultural attitudes? Maybe. But there is nothing incorrect or even offensive in the OP.
