Islam teaches peace, respect, and coexistence. Please don't judge an entire faith by the actions of individuals. Let's build understanding, not division.

#2 Actually it teaches a demand for universal conversion and to say anything and do anything until that goal is reached.

No lie too egregious, no act too foul or degenerate.

#4 All it takes to prove that statement a lie. Is to point to their leadership sponsoring, invading and demanding the genocide, rape and murder of non islamics. All just in in the last 2,000+ years.

#5 Only George W. Bush was dumb enough to believe that
"Islam is a religion of peace".

1400 years of bloody conquest and enslavement say otherwise.

#6 ...then again. It does seem an antidote to toxic feminism.

#7 Great discussion early today in the comment section of AoS. One poster there pointed out that there were practically ZERO contemporary mentions of Muhammad during the period he was alleged to have lived, suggesting that he was a made-up character.

Yes, I get it that its a made-up religion, but that's the first time I've come across the idea that Mo himself may not have existed.

#9 Ref #7 above

"In 610, an Arab salesman with a charismatic personality attracted a small cult of credulous fanatics by claiming to be a prophet. Though his "revelations" were self-referential and occasionally contradicting, he was successful in manipulating his followers with promises of heavenly reward and threat of divine wrath. The god heard only by him told them to lie and steal for him, to give their children to him for sexual pleasure and, eventually, to gruesomely murder his detractors..."

"There are two ways to approach a study of Muhammad. One is with reverence. The other is with skepticism. Thinking persons choose the latter. They are not influenced by the number of Muslim believers in the world today or by their force of belief because these are meaningless in determining truth. Thinking persons care about fact."

"The facts presented here about the life of Muhammad and the origins of Islam are fully supported by the works of early Muslim biographers upon which all later scholars rely. References can usually be found in the secondary articles cited, if they are not provided directly."

#10 Ye merry monthe yclept al-Haj
When Moslems maken pilgrimage
To Mecca, mill about and stare
At everywhere He isn't, there
He also wasn't, poor Mahound,
Nor yet the faith he didn't found,
For filthy infidels and such
Preferred a prophet they could touch...
