Muslim Brotherhood declares that its goal is to create a global Islamic state

[QUOTE="Ace6301"][QUOTE="PWSteal_Ldpinch"] You came into my thread. Trust me, I would never seek out what you have to say outside of my own threads. You are honestly one of the most ignorant people on a forum full of teenagers. You don't know the most basic differences between religions yet you post in religious threads all the time. Answer this question without looking it up. Which came first, hinduism or buddhism?PWSteal_Ldpinch

I wish islam wasn't so violent or oppressive.

If this was Buddhism spreading rapidly I really wouldn't care.

Every era has a religion that tries to take over the Earth. This era's just happens to be radical Islam. I doubt it'll go anwhere. The more it tries to push it's ideals by oppressing and killing people, the more ferociously people fight back.

[QUOTE="sSubZerOo"][QUOTE="PWSteal_Ldpinch"] I know for a fact that it is illegal to be atheist in Malaysia and other Muslim countries. PWSteal_Ldpinch

[QUOTE="sSubZerOo"] ............. Can't I get this through your thick skull, a THEOCRACY of any kind is bad.. Christians do not control the United STates or the west, they are SECULARIZED countries.. Do people even understand what they are talking about.. a Theocracy of ANY kind be it Christian, Muslim etc etc and I would be screwed for my beliefs and ideas.. sSubZerOo

Vatican City is a city state ruled by a non-hereditary theocracy.

The theocracy controls the borders and the politics of its ~832-man population.

How else do you want me to react? Side with them or try to kill them?

[QUOTE="sSubZerOo"][QUOTE="PWSteal_Ldpinch"] Are you sure about that? I'm pretty sure the Vatican is a theocracy. And yet they don't execute atheists in the Vatican. You didn't think about that did you.

[QUOTE="sSubZerOo"] ..................... Wha what? The Vatican literally governs NOTHING any more.. Italy has its own secular government.. And funny you should say that because the Catholic Church has quite a history of killing disbelievers and persecuting.. The Vatican church by the current pope also purposelly opposed the UN law that would outlaw countries from imprisoning people for being homosexual.. People seem not to get that religions in power of any kind is bad news.. Or shoudl I start tallying off the history of any religion out there when it was in power as a theocracy?sSubZerOo

An ~832-man city state is still more than nothing...and the Catholic Church has over a billion members worldwide.

The Pope still has incredible power and influence in the world, but you're right that the actual territory the Catholic theocracy directly controls is extremely small.

Oh, I completely agree.

Religion should never, ever, ever interfere with government on any level whatsoever.

And a government controlled by religion is a fundamentally backwards one, regardless of what the religion actually is.

I was just saying that the Pope still has a ton of influence.

He goes to countries and people cheer at him in the streets.

Every comment he makes is reported on all major news sources.

-

American news organizations spent weeks talking about that American who became a Catholic cardinal.

Whether you like it or not, the Catholic Church still has tremendous influence, even if they can't directly control people or make laws outside of Vatican City.

I agree. It's sad how, ad nauseam, the most talkative people are often the most ignorant.

We have better things to do than pander to xenophobes like the TC who try and make their deluded views seem like the norm through forums like this, just so they can rationalize their paranoia. They act like they are scholars on subjects like scripture, when they are in fact nothing more than sanctimonious fear-mongerers who use religion, not as a tool of self-enlightenment and purification, but as a tool of oppression.

Sooooo... this is like the Vatican of Islam? Haven't they said the same things.... sorta.....

All that needed was a cliff hanger.

Well I hear that the birthrate of Muslims is about 8.5 or something and the birthrate of other groups of people is usually around 1.5-2. So really Muslims will be the dominant race here. Sounds alright to me.metroidprime55
