That will come as a great surprise to the Irish Republican Army, the Tamil Tigers and the Shining Path guerillas, to name but three.

here’s a misconception i feel worthy of mention; that some of the practices in the more oppresive Islamic countries are condoned by Muslims. on the contrary, some of those practices are questioned and in some cases even condemned by other Muslims around the world. i have often heard criticisms of Islam in the form of arguments against the barbaric stoning of adulterors, misconceptions about the burkha, the lack of women’s rights in Islam, etc. it is however important to note that these are just ways that oppressive Islamic countries have CHOSEN to implement their beliefs.

in other words, there is a difference between what is stated in the Quran, and how people choose to interpret and practise the religion. i’m sure it is the same other religions too, and it is not uncommon to find disagreements between people of the same religion regarding a particular issue or a topic.

unfortunately, most people (the media, the West, some of you people here) have chosen to zero in on these negative aspects, cultivating the stereotype that these are common and widely-accepted practices of all Muslims the world over. this is of course not true. many Muslim countries (for example Malaysia and Brunei Darulsalam) do not practise the same oppression that many have taken to be commonplace in Islamic countries.

as a final thought, i’d just like to say that religion isn’t imperfect, as some have come to believe’; we are.

Regarding the list, I can’t believe ppl think things like that are true, it makes me go wait what THAT’s my religion? And than remember that humans are ignorant idiots, and tend to believe everything. On the Kur’an quotes, observe that you are writing in english, the book was written in a totally different language, correct translation is impossible and even if you know the original language we all interpret it the way we want. So for me I believe that as a woman I have the right to stomp on men and that they are slaves. But that’s just me. And I’m too nice of a person to actually do that.

On the history and wars. It’s ridiculous to compare historic wars and things going on now. As far as I remember my history, the Ottoman empire was a military country and conquered a lot of countries, to broaden it’s boarders. Just like Alexander did for Macedonia. On the other side the crusader wars were a pure religion thing. So are according to that, do all Christians stab you with a sword if you are not the same religion? As far as I know, not. When you look at the present, and tons of different sects, like a disturbing Christian one, where girls are live stock and are used for breeding, and a guy can have tons on wives ranging from 6 till I don’t know, and on the other side these idiots of ours that blow themselves up for some idiotic reasons, what conclusions do you get? That those are sects, simple idiotic sects that anyone with a common sense hates. But the problem with the western world is that they somehow reached the conclusion that That sect is Islam, and that there is nothing else.

A little things to think about. Did you know that while in Europe people were inventing perfumes to cover the stench, the Islamic world had normal modern baths. Oh and no math, for western world, the numbers 1,2 etc are for reason called arabic numbers.

And to conclude. From my perspective Christianity and Islam are one and the same religion, just with different names and the fact that we have Muhammed as the last prophet and you Jesus. Same shit different package.

For those who are quoting nonsense please make sure that your sources are credible lol, and no you do not count as a credible source. Hitler, Pac. Yeah.

Interesting well known Fact: Prophet Mohamed PBUH Celebrated special occasions with his Christian and Jewish Neighbors. That should set an example of accepting others.
Another fact is that Mohamed’s uncle who has raised him and was one of the dearest people to his heart, Abdul Motalib, was an atheist and died an atheist, however Muslims have respect for him for his ACTIONS and deeds.

Anyway, thanks for the list!
