Islam: A Religion of Lies...

[shazeep]

Ps "Islam: a religion of lies" is simply a slur. It is an accusation, and we all know where those come from. Thus premises are revealed.

A waste of time looking at this thread.
Nothing changed here.
I might check back in about 4 weeks or so.

[shazeep]

well, be the change you seek. Change your mind, yes? You might examine why you would even want to view a thread titled by a slur, perhaps. Unfortunately, condemning others makes us feel superior. Don't we have anything better to do?

Thanks, Jason, for saving me the trouble of having to give a response.

and don't forget to ignore that radical Islam is rejected by virtually all Muslims...

The Pew polling shows that, aside from focusing on violence, the majority are still radicalized toward, Sharia Law. That would be 75% in Egypt alone.

Well, you characterize those living under Sharia as radicalized; why is this? I have lived among those submitting to Sharia, and found it very unobtrusive, Fox News reports notwithstanding. No one is forced to live under Sharia that I am aware of-even Muslim countries have civil courts. Yes, there might be consequences for this; one might be ostracized, etc., but the reports I see in the mainstream news are ridiculously exaggerated.

The true perspective is given here by Sam Harris when interviewed by Fareed Zakaria on radical Islam:

HARRIS: I'm telling you the only metric I have for that is I hear from people living in Pakistan, for instance, who say if a liberal like you can't even speak honestly about the link between ideology and violence, what hope is there for me?

I can't even tell my mother what I believe about God because I would be afraid of my own family or village killing me.
