there will be 10 people who will say, Muslims are terrorists, Islam is a death cult, any religion that condones violence is horrible, evil, bad.

then 10 other people will retort, they’re not all violent, the media portrays them as such, don’t believe everything you see on the news, people of other religions are violent too, what about them?

it’s really getting to be quite tired, for both sides of the camp.

and i agree that this list portrays a slightly biased view of Islam. there are many things he could have mentioned that would be interesting and informative without igniting any sparks, background information about the religion that are less likely to cause any controversy. some of the things like “A non-Muslim who insults Islam must be put to death, according to most schools of Islamic jurisprudence, or flogged and imprisoned, according to others” hardly constitutes a core belief in Islam OR shows the author’s impartiality.

I am a Buddhist and I must say that the comments are far more entertaining than the lists! Haha just kidding,I think. I find that those who vigorously and (judging by the harsh language) maliciously attack other faiths in defense of their own, lack the ideal of “faith” in their own beliefs. If one firmly and truly believes that what they believe is right, then one must assume they can take criticism with a smile without the need to constantly republish their obviously strong belief in their own faith. Instead of pointing out what is wrong and what you dislike with separate faiths try to find what you can understand and share between them. Extremists are abound in all religions (even Buddhists) and much of the turmoil in the middle east is more based on oppression, land rights, and a history of violence (from all). These people have been taught hatred from a young age as indoctrination for causes far different than my God is better than your Jesus. No different than many children are raised as anti-semetics in the US being force fed God’s will and the bible as a tool for their cause. In the majority of the world people of faith, of any faith, can sit down and be willful to each other. When you let extremist of any religion base you view of said faith then you are viewing them through a cloudy haze when you can go sit with your neighbor and actually see them in the sunshine. There are exponentially more muslims and christians or anything else in limitless numbers across all nations that are not running into your homes and declaring jihad or religious warfare, so to say that ALL are this or ALL are that is ALL wrong. Focus on what we all possess inside instead of what one decides to read or the actions of a small few. I respect you all and hopefully this receives no ill will, and if it does then I accept that. Gnight Everybody!

“…and a testimony of a non-Muslim is inadmissible against a Muslim. A non-Muslim who insults Islam must be put to death, according to most schools of Islamic jurisprudence, or flogged and imprisoned, according to other”
As a practicing Muslim, I’m advising you, Author Person, to check your sources and get your facts straight.
And, by the way, thanks a ton for making us “superiors” out as snobs…
We strongly believe that it’s our actions that God judges us by, and ANY HUMAN BEING is capable of choosing to act wrongly INCLUDING A MUSLIM. So, if a non-Muslim were to witness a Muslim acting illegally, then their testimony would most certainly be admissible against a Muslim’s. And, oh dear God, let me straighten this out: if a non-Muslim insults Islam, we are most certainly NOT supposed to put them to death, flog them, or imprison them. THAT is terrorism, not Islamic. In fact, it’s unlawful for us to do such a thing. The only time we can inflict physical harm upon someone else is in self-defense. And even then, we are not supposed to transgress our boundaries, as in, only do as much so you’re defending yourself and not harming the other person excessively.
Honestly, as if Muslims and Islam needs any more stereotypes and misconceptions.

Loved the list, very nice! Very inclusive and I love how unbiased it was.

I’m no religious expert, I won’t lie; but I do know a good chunk about many religions. I think this list portrayed them in a positive light and included many aspects of each instead of all the bias one can find on topics like these.

So, love the list! And love the site! Keeps me busy for hours! Ha!

154. Cybogen : You can’t claim that God is all powerful and then turn around and say that his “good” angels are locked in a battle against “evil” angels, it’s fallacious in itself.

Hi Mark- Let me try to explain the best I can: It is true in the fact that there is not as much the physical fight against themselves the (angels and demons ) that makes you wonder about Gods almight power to decide the battle to be won before it even starts. It is true that he is all powerful and nothing can overcome him. However because he gives us free will which allows us the choice to do right or wrong we have 2 groups of Angels: holy angels and demons that are trying to sway us to do Right or wrong in other words to help us make the right choice in our thoughts and deeds. Its ultimately our choice but we will either be tempted and lose or given grace to overcome temptation and win . It is outr decision to make that choice
