Islam is bad blah blahparatheos
Putting aside the fact that you got this from Urban Dictionary, you went on to tar everyone with the same brush. This is the only time I will EVER pay attention to you. Ever.
Oh, and TC, it does concern me that you avoided the main issue people have (which was highlighted in RA's post, the one I quoted); it's just not acceptable to punish adultery with violence or numerous other crimes with violence. This also has nothing to do with the fact that you're muslim either. Just failing to address the issue, s'all.
At the end of the day, its down to one person or an elite group's discretion. In a perfect world, people would follow the peaceful sentiments, but to be honest, the Pope tells Catholics to bomb abortion clinics, they would.
One person has more power than the basis of the religion.

Agreed.
In addition, the brainwashing that typically leads to bad acts isn't done by the book but by other people. A lot of wars in history were over resources and religion played a small part in it. I don't think it's really the issue. If religion was gone, there would be fewer wars... in the short term. As the absence of religion brings forth the absence of both religious fundamentalists and militant atheists, humanity would be much more bearable.
I still have my own issues with Islam.
