[QUOTE=Ganerumo;39219622]Considering I'm taking my info from a book written by a confirmed and professional Islamologist I think I'm right.
And even if the Arabic society of the time revered a female deity, it doesn't mean they took actual women in high esteem, and it doesn't mean they didn't have a ton of whores either.
[/QUOTE]
The problem here is that you are reading the story from one side (Islamologist's view), wearing the rose tinted glasses.
And your view of whores/prostitutes as some low life creature is kind of disappointing. This all prudishness is actually bullshit. You are one with the matter, in fact, you are the universe.
Kill the non-believers.
Do anything you can to destroy America and its freedom.

Not sure about the percent demographic on FP that are Islamic but seriously, I [del]expected better of FP[/del] really wish FP would quit with the overuse of religious stereotypes

Not my words, but someone actually told me that when I asked what the point of Islam was a long time ago... :l[/QUOTE]
Actually the Quran states that men and women are equal. Although it does state in 4:34: "Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has made one of them to excel the other, and because they spend from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient and guard in the husband's absence what Allah orders them to guard."
Pretty much it states that men have better strength then women, they just sorta take that a bit far. I don't think it has anything to do with Islam, it's just a commonly occurring law in the middle east. And the kill everyone that doesn't believe the same as them is just bullshit
[QUOTE=IPK;39213830]It's the same as Christianity,but with some changed names and events. Everything is to believe that the only true god is Allah and to be peaceful(which radical Muslims don't do,idiots)
The reason for extremism is because Islam is quite a young religion born much after Christianity,Christians did extremist shit too,remember the dark ages?[/QUOTE]
Thank goodness Christians are so reasonable and moderate nowadays right?

If it were not for the sarcasm that statement would be more correct
besides, its SUPER SMART to judge an entire demographic by a small concentrated sample, isn't it?

What small concentrated sample? I can't be the only one who finds transubstantiation batshit crazy right?
Islam originally preached that the true son of God (Allah) was Muhammad, and that all others before him (Abraham, David, Jesus) were the prophets, with Jesus being the Holiest prophet. Originally, they wished to preach peace through conquering other lands (where Muhammad actually allowed the conquered people to practice their own religions). However, the poor man could neither read nor write, so his soldiers and followers wrote down his stories for him, bastardizing and changing them as they went.
TLDR: Islam was about peace, now it's not.
It's about using a bunch of half-assed, poorly written stories to get everyone to have sex with you.

But is that the IDEAL of Christianity at all? That Jesus can turn water into wine? And I thought you were talking about extremist groups like WBC and that Mormon sect in the middle of no where.
What I'm saying is that extremism is a natural consequence of unquestioning faith, without which all religion would be impossible.
I don't want to sound like too much of an atheist wanker, but the primary 'ideal' of all religions are the same; "pass on these teachings to others, denounce the teachings [I]of[/I] others, and honour no teachings but these."

But I'm religious and I don't exactly denounce the beliefs of others
I just think what I want to think and if that guy thinks a little differently than me, I see no reason to give them a hard time for it

this is all true but the quran never changed (the only change was when omar order to put all the ayas in one book when muhammad died and people started bastardizing it) because many of Muhammad's loyal followers (abe-paker,omar,othman,ali) protected the quran from being changed

Exactly, you're accepting of others and content for them to worship whatever they like. Most religions aren't that understanding. But it's not because they're evil, it's because they're competition.
It's like memetics, competing ideas survive by developing defence mechanisms.
God is the Greatest, that's all you need to know.

It doesnt matter, its an unsubstantiated collection of bronze age myths, that should have no place in an age of technological and social progress. So is christianity by the way, along with every religion.

Technological and social progression in one place at the cost of regression in another.

This is probably the best answer in the thread. Mods could lock this now to prevent Fast Threads from somehow becoming even shittier.
