Staredit Network -> Serious Discussion -> Islam, really a tolerante Religion?
Report, edit, etc...Posted by TheDaddy0420 on 2006-10-30 at 03:24:57
I have heard a lot in school and from the news media and teachers that Islam is a religion of tolerance and peace and I have been doing some research and came up with these teachings from the Quran:

I want to talk about Islam, NOT CHRISTIANITY OR JUDIASM.
Saying "Well theres quotes from the bible too bla bla bla" is just proving Christianity is just as intolerant as Islam so lets keep this debate about Islam.

After reading these quotes give a response! What do you think?

Islam is based off Christianity. Muhammad thought he was :God's Last Prophet". With Jesus being the Christian prophet and Moses being the Jewish prophet. And this is why Atheism wins, no drama.

Well you can't simply expect people to discuss the islamic religion without looking outside to other religions for comparison.. Thats just secluding and therefor reducing one religion.
If that was your purpose then I feel this topic should be closed, however I do not feel that this was your purpose.

This statement is false... Offering peace is whatever it means to the reader. Muhammed was a good strategist, you can't win a war if you depend for the most part on the defencive. (Looking at our "pre-emptive strikes" and the way we entered WW2, we were not on the defencive..)

Most of the other quotes are simply saying that unbelievers go to hell... It's not all that out of step with many other religions.

Even though I'm not Catholic, I still belive that the Pope went and said somthing that everyone else in a position of power was reluctent to say, he shed some light on the truth of Islam publicly and that is, "Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." See it here.

I'm Islamic, and I can truthfully say that the Koran is the Old Testament written in Arabic.

Additionally, there is no Islamic religion. Islam, practiced correctly, is a personal relationship with god, and therefore, there is no religious part, only belief. Islam as a religion may be intolerant, but those who follow Mohammed's teachings correctly and worship God, not Mohammed and not the Koran, are true Muslims.

A religion is only what you make it to be. Some Christians are extraordinarily violent in the name of their religion, others are quite peaceful and honest following Jesus's teachings. As such, some Muslims are violent in the name of their religion, and some are peaceful and honest.

Islam tolerates any religion that is somehow worshipping a single figure, which therefore includes most everyone, even Atheists, who can be said to worship the big bang, or evolution, or themselves.

Chris, I'd prefer it if you stopped flaming Islam constantly. I don't try to flame Christianity or Judaism, I try to reconcile with Christians and Jews who do not see that we worship the same God, and I try to reconcile with Athiests who do not see that I believe in science. The average Muslim is an average person. My religion does not affect my personality. Religions do not cause violence, or hate, or prejudice. Minds do

I'd also like some sources, Chris. Don't say "the Koran", because you know just as well as I do that there are dozens and hundreds of interpretations of the Koran written by those ranging from right-wing nutjobs like Ahmedinejad to liberalists like me to people with a vendetta against Islam.

This wasn't a flame lol

And my source IS the Quran and NOT a interpretation, its the text, every passage is cited man...

Unless you mean that there different translations from the arabic text then I haven't seen any other version of the translated text.

Ok so how should I repost this debate so that it is NOT Islam that Im talking about. Cause there is a massive trend of people who either directly follow the above passages or don't do anything to stop the people who follow the above text or many even support the above.

I would say there isn't many who actually follow the above text BUT there is a large amount of people who support those radicals and an even bigger group who sits idle and doesn't do anything to stop the radicals...

No, you're wrong. The Koran was not written in English, and no language can be literally translated into another, thus, different interpretations.

Plus, it's a flame, as you've not listed a source for your transliteration. I use a Koran translated into modern english. It's a liberal Koran, which is why I chose it.

The version of the Koran you've seen was either created by a nutty, extremist Christian, or by a terrorist group or neoconservative imam.

I would say a good third of Muslims, mostly Shi'ites and organized Sunnis, are very conservative. However, Muslims who do not participate in organized religion are very liberal. Those of use who are liberal can't get the word out, because the conservatives are unchanging. They're like slaves to their masters, and it's quite ridiculous and disgusting. The conservative Imams ought to be jailed for encouraging violence, but the problem is that the governments are controlled by conservatives because liberals aren't vocal enough, which means that the terrorism wont be stopped.

But, don't lose hope, it's likely that Islamic states that have not yet liberalized will face revolutions soon.

There is way too much to read on your first post so i will just say what i believe of islam.

1) You leave the religion and you face the death penalty, how tolerant is that.
2) They claim that all other religions are wrong and you should be islamic.
3) They also claim that Allah told them what will happen in the future, however they also mention Muhammed flying on a griffin.
4) They have said that other holy books are wrong because they were written by people, and the Qu'ran was written by god. However the story goes that the people wrote the prophecys that muhammed told them AFTER he died.

Some personal thoughts about islam.

1) They have their own sacred language for it, yet they abuse it to say stuff about people without them knowing what is going on -- cowards.
2) There is racism within their own religion (i've seen it happen in Religous Education class. Sunni and whatever the type is called) How stupid.

Personal stories.

On the bus one day there was a muslim and a white girl, they was arguing and then the muslim said "we are invading england and taking control." To many that may mean nothing but if you was there you would of known that he wasn't joking.

A Muslim girl in my class started drawing all over the desk saying "England Sucks" and making racial comments about white people.

I was walking with my best friend called Tashan, he is half cast (white mother, black father) and his mother. We just left the shops and then a group of 12 Muslims started shouting N***a at him.

I came from England which anybody that has visited or lived there will know, England is covered in Muslims and almost all of them i have met were racist to white people AND black people and would always claim that we were racist to them.

Basically i find them to be very intolerant of other religions and races, yet claim that we are intolerant of them because of their color -- all though in some cases people are racist, they are generally detestable human beinges towards other people and then when they get what they deserve, claim it is racism.

Islam when taken literally is a extremely intolerant religion.
Islam when opened up to liberal interpretation (ie. if they say you should cut off their fingers they don't really mean take a knife and actually cut of their fingers) is as tolerant as the believer wants it to be.

I believe the same holds true for other religions, but that's not what we're talking about.

Anyone who talks about how tolerant Islam is, is full of liberal PC bull.

I am not fairly familiar with the islam religion at all. Really, the main thing we learned about them in highschool world geography is that they have this five pillar thing. That's all i am really familiar with that dinstinguishes them pretty well.

There are idiot Muslims, however, they seem to be concentrated in Britain from what I know. American Muslims tend to be less outspoken until something directly affects them, such as placing surveillance cameras in all mosques.

As far as I have seen in this one thread alone.. is that most of you are as intolerant as you claim islam to be. Chris, your post can be taken as a flame on Islam.

Scwizard, shut up. 'Nuff said. You know what... thats not enough. Unless you are muslim, have read the Qua'ran in its entirety, you need to shut the F up. Islam is no more intolerant then Christianity is, or Judiaism is.

No, you're wrong. The Koran was not written in English, and no language can be literally translated into another, thus, different interpretations.

Plus, it's a flame, as you've not listed a source for your transliteration. I use a Koran translated into modern english. It's a liberal Koran, which is why I chose it.

The version of the Koran you've seen was either created by a nutty, extremist Christian, or by a terrorist group or neoconservative imam.

I would say a good third of Muslims, mostly Shi'ites and organized Sunnis, are very conservative. However, Muslims who do not participate in organized religion are very liberal. Those of use who are liberal can't get the word out, because the conservatives are unchanging. They're like slaves to their masters, and it's quite ridiculous and disgusting. The conservative Imams ought to be jailed for encouraging violence, but the problem is that the governments are controlled by conservatives because liberals aren't vocal enough, which means that the terrorism wont be stopped.

But, don't lose hope, it's likely that Islamic states that have not yet liberalized will face revolutions soon.

Where am I wrong? Point it out becuase you said the exact same thing I said, anyone else notice that?

What radical white conservative christians would know arabic?

Kashmir:
This is just a talk and Im sorry if it is seen as a flame, but we are just talking and we have the freedom to talk about it. You wouldn't be suggesting we close this talk would you? Also why are you defending Islam? I thought you hated all religion becuase it blinds people or something to that extent.

Islam's about as tolerant as any other organized religion. I don't know much about it, but from what I've seen, it says, like the others, that people that don't believe in Allah are going to Hell. However, I just skimmed over it, and it said that people of other faiths would go to Hell, but it never said to kill them or anything like that (I might have missed that part because I just skimmed over those passages).
