Why deny that there's bad stuff about the Muslim faith?

Like the Jihad, for example. The word has multiple meanings but can also be translated into holy war/holy struggle against non-believers.

Thoughts?

theres obviously bad stuff in any religion

"bad-stuff' depends on one's interpretation.alexside1

Yes, because all Muslims are in a holy war against Christians.kdawg88

That is why I mentioned the Muslim religion and not Muslims specifically.

Give an example of these "bad stuff".Immortal--

There's bad stuff about most faiths. Anytime people put blind faith into something instead of reason, bad things can happen. I have no problem with religions. I just worry about the narrow minded zealots that seem to pop up with every major religion.

I also agree. They degrade women and such. Stanley09

Islam should be banished from Western countries.deleterguy

Jihad is simply a Muslim's holy duty to convert others to their religion. Some radicals/fundamentalists use it as an excuse to attack other countries. You must realize that their are crazy people in every religion who will take one phrase out of the Qu'ran/Bible/Torah and use it as an excuse to hurt others. The Qu'ran also says that you must not fight unless others fight you first, and that peace is important. Besides, many Christian groups have similar ideas, (eg. Mormon, Jehovah's Witness). All these groups must also try to convert others to their religion as well.yoba333

It did at first, but in fact many countries accepted Islam. Forced conversions were rare, and Muslims of the time were extremely tolerant of Christianity and Judaism. I'm not denying that they did take over countries at first, but after the Battle of Tours in 732 they more or less stopped. Now, you don't find them running around conquering countries right?

Islamic terrorism is the result of civil intolerance? So if we are more tolerant, then the terrorists won't attack us?

All religions are bad.Artosa

In Quaran it also says "Do not fight with them, unless they fight with with you", Dont show us al qaeda or taliban as a example, they kill innocent people and use God's name for violence... If you look at Turki States you wont see something like that...

Good thing I'm not Christian either, but atleast Christianity belongs in Europe...unlike Islam.deleterguy

No, no no. Christianity crawled from the desert as well.

[QUOTE="yoba333"] I find that incredibly intolerant, which is unfortunately why a lot of Muslim terrorists attack us. Also, you do realize that Christianity's "God" and Islam's "Allah" are the same god under different names, right? Islam and Christianity are extremely similar, if you would actually take the time to learn about both of themyoba333

Well unfortunately there are many people who will still react violently to intolerance or hatred.
