| mrstickball said: I'd argue that when it comes to religious extremism 'The proof is in the pudding'. When was the last time a Christian took a gun and some hand grenades and blew a place in in the name of Jesus? Somehow, just somehow, I don't think its as often as Muslims do in the name of Allah. That's why there's a problem. You can argue that they are extremists doing this (and I agree), but it seems there are far more extremists in Islam than Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, or any other religion. |
I believe abortion clinic bombings and the like.
But it's true, Muslims do this more often but to squarely place it on religon is a misnomer and completely ignores the fact that most Muslim countries are poor and opressed. Usually with a dictatorial goverment supported by a foreign (usually western) power. It goes without saying that if you are prosperous and free you would turn away from extremism. Same reason places like Africa are fucked up.
Though a fun fact: The single group with the most suicide bombings isn't Muslim but the Tamil Tigers (who aren't a religous group btw)
Since Atheism wasn't all that prevalent, The Quran rarely if ever speaks about atheists.
I good, someone with an actual Quran. I'll leave the rest of this to you then.
HEY! Don't abadon me here! :(
