The ones that are actually religious? Yes People who happen to come from Muslim countries and are not religious? No Problem: We have to distinguish the two for proper immigration. True Islam is not compatible with the West. |

I find it strange how you got to connect those two? Yeah, I guess we kind of are in the same shoes. :) I've been researching a lot on Islam lately too. It has a lot of good in it. How come you're not content with Hinduism? |

I was arguing with the other guy cause he was saying it didn't happen.The Jews of banu qurayza were totally innocent weren't they? Wrong. They plotted with the quraysh(makkan tribe attacking Madinah) during the battle of the trench and violated the charter of Madinah. After the battle they chose their own arbitrator from the Muslims who gave them the punishment according to the Torah. |

I have no problem with honest, hard-working Muslims, who behave and try their best to integrate into Western society. Heck, I've worked with quite a few in the past few years without much, if any trouble. However, I do have a problem with the ones that come here to cause trouble and make no effort to get along with Westerners, especially if they support terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda or ISIS . Those people should be kicked out of the country asap. |

traed said: khunter said: traed said: Dont be ridiculous. Movies dont use only Muslims They use things relevant to current events or events relevant to the themes or time period presented. They still use German and Russian villains but that doesnt mean people hate germans or russians. They use Italian mobsters but that doest men people hate Italians. They also use the US's own government as a villain in movies. Anything foreign is considred more threatening feeling to people because its less familiar. Films play into this common pssychological aspect people exhibit. I feel nothing about Muslims as a whole, it depends on the individual or specific types of Muslims. I certainly am disgusted by extremist muslims and they make up a large percentage of Muslims. Please note that to be an extremist one does not have to be a terrorist, only having extreme beliefs. Disliking Islamic terrorism or disliking Islam is not the same as disliking Muslims as a whole. Never said they only used muslims. They do use them as the bad guy quite a bit. Germans are used as the bad guy in movies when they were the bad guys. Russians and north koreans are also used. Media and entertainment clearly affects certain people's attitudes towards things, so a group of people is no different. What I said wasn't ridiculous at all. They still use Germans sometimes but usually they are a neo-nazi or part of a crime syndicate or something. Only if they are stupid people to begin with.

I will profile every single one of them. It's nothing personal, I will never falsely accuse or impose suspicions on them blindly. But I will never be surprised by suspicious behavior from a Muslim and am prepared to take action the moment I see it. I have naively interacted with sleeper cells in the past and it gave me a wake up call when they were arrested for plans to bomb the AFB I was living at. |

These are the people that truly need and deserve help, it's a shame that there needs to be measures taken to defend people leaving Islam or "blaspheming". That will never be taken in the west without violent opposition. We've already had people killed, death threats issued, terrorists released back in our countries and lost, and people having to go into hiding. Even Muslims that speak out and form charities to try and help Muslim apostates get attacked in the west, I could list so much but it would just get off topic and take up the whole post. Masked_Mantis said: k0k0 said: By suspended doesn't that mean it's just on hold? That's what I've read from all the articles. They're reviewing her case that's all. Masked_Mantis said: k0k0 said: Masked_Mantis said: In Pakistan someone's on death row at the moment for an apparent criticism of Muhammad. Her family are in hiding because most of the country want her dead, an if she is released even local imams say they'll make her pay for what they think she did. It's hard to have faith that they'll show mercy. I think you might be confusing Raef Badawi of Saudi Arabia. Is there a way I can be linked to this news? I'd appreciate it. She's been on death row for a few years now, and they've suspended her execution until they decide whether to execute her or not. But as you can see it's not looking good for her even if she is released. If violence against criticising Islam becomes normal in the west, the threat of sharia and death for blasphemy becomes very real. You can't rely on the police or politicians to protect you when they know Muslims will riot if they release you. Their lives will be in danger too. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-33617186 Ah, it's the Asiya Noreen case. Reigned by a Judge of Sheikhpura, which happens to be among the more illiterate parts of the country, and taken to the Court of Lahore, Punjab, the province where much of the poverty-stricken and uneducated religious groups reside. The Supreme Court has suspended the case, and two prominent political muslim figures had fought for Asiya's rights (and paid with their lives for it), and huge movements and outcries were forged for her protection by the educated minority of the country. So, you see, while I cannot say that you cannot pin the blame on Islam, I can definitely say that you can pin the blame on illiteracy. Pakistan, as one country, should not be seen justifying this act. God knows how many riots broke out between the classes of Muslims which reside in it. If there is a side which caters to extremism, there is a side that exists which opposes it. Just thought I'd clarify the details for you, since I was among the protestants myself and I do not consider the literate population of Pakistan to fall under the category of extremist muslims. As for whether it's to do with an educated view of Islam or not that's still a rational fear. In the west nothing like this has happened, but we feel our freedom slipping away with how corrupt the police are in covering up Muslim scandals. Muslims in the west haven't experienced a case like Asiya's but they definitely still have the same views as the illiterate Muslims in Pakistan. We have Muslims in the government who say you shouldn't be able to criticise Islam, then people are shocked when Muslims protest demanding blasphemy laws. People in the west are scared of how politically correct their leaders are, and of course of islamists. They can't be called islamaphobic because even Hindus and Sikhs fear Islamic issues. When Muslims in other countries are encouraging Muslims in the west to kill people for drawing cartoons then how are they really any different from the illiterate Pakistani Muslims you mentioned? They hold the exact same views in an increasingly insecure country. It is on hold. There's an appeal just this month, and I'm pretty sure she'll make it and be taken under protection after all the effort the human rights groups here have put in. There's no guarantee, but her situation has been flowing in hopeful waters. 'Educated view of Islam' isn't really an accurate phrase to use, in my opinion. You see, as a Muslim who's lived in both developed and developing countries (including Pakistan), there's a very prominent pattern I've noticed: extremism is highly linked with illiteracy. The West has probably not seen much radical raids owing to its advantageous progression in the global village. It is, in the bigger picture, not about Muslims against Non-Muslims. Trust me when I say that the obscene number of Muslims attacked by Muslims themselves is more alarming. This is a strong indicator of how extremism isn't employed solely against a differing ideology, rather, it blurs all boundaries and simply targets anything that does not condone the extremist individual/party's beliefs, even if the religion they shared was the same. I cannot speak on behalf of all the Muslims in the West. I know that there are those who have refused to Westernize themselves while demanding a place within your communities, but I also know that there's a good portion that fits in readily and accepts the norms and culture of the local residents. Having views and acting on said views are two very different things; you cannot demand a person to remove their preferences (regardless of whether they stem from religious notions or personal ones), but you can definitely demand for them to apply tolerance. This is the difference between radicals and 'normal' Muslims--the former makes no distinction between notion and action. When you say 'West', I hope you aren't generalizing. I don't think, and I'm sure you'd agree, that the entire of West itself cannot be grouped together to share a view, just like the entire Muslim world (and believe me, Sir, it's massive and diverse) cannot be subjected to similarly. Therefore, I would politely disagree when you say that Muslims in other countries have encouraged Muslims in the West to kill people for drawing cartoons. This is pure generalization, I assure you, because your news may tell you the gist of reactions, they fail to deliver the other side. Always. Not to mention the fact that Islam in different countries is followed differently (not the religion itself, but the societal leniency and stigmas which prevail) and many of those countries tend to mix their culture with the religion. It is more prudent for you, then, to understand that Muslims of all colours and vibrancy exist--it's just that the bad ones always tend to stick out more and the good ones are pushed behind because, somehow, goodness is always considered overrated. I'd say your second point depends on the country. There are countries where Muslims are a victim of violent Muslims, but then there are also still quite a lot that are under islamic law that Muslims live under fine. That's not good news for apostates and other religions. They're definitely kafir and countries like that that have money are probably using the Quran for their own purposes. "Don't take Jews or Christians as friends". These islamic laws shouldn't exist but they do. I do agree that it blurs all boundaries, and that's why people should be scared of islamists in all countries. It's like communism. As for your third point that's true, unfortunately. Crossing a border doesn't change someones literal view of Islam. But that's what the west fear, it's our leaders we fear. We actually can't demand tolerance anymore without the left saying "the bibles violent" or "it's not all Muslims". Our leaders tell us when the refugees came that they don't know who is raping women, but it's a fact that it's not Muslims. It's more serious in Islam than any other religion when you know you can't remove their preferences. Even "scholars" in the west promote extreme views and we tolerate it. When I say west I mean a few western countries yes. Germany, Sweden, UK, Denmark etc. There are some sensible ones. As for Muslims encouraging others, you had ayatollah Khomeinei who issued the fatwa against Salman Rushdie for writing the satanic verses. You had Junaid Hussain who encouraged the Texas Islamic shooting. You had Geert Wilders film "fitna" cause a fatwa from Australian Muslims, you had Denmark cartoonists killed and the Hebdo attacks, which also caused riots and deaths in other Muslim countries, you can just google any fatwas. This is the only religion you have an issue like this. Giving death threats to people for criticism of Islam isn't normal. And it shouldn't even be an issue of discussion and reasoning with Muslims but it still is. That shows a serious flaw with islam. I've watched this guy from when he was just in a "racist" group, but he's written a book about what he's went through from the police just through criticising Islam. Now everyone pretty much accepts what he's been saying. I link it to show what he's gone through, and it's related because at about 18:40 he pretty much shows what we've got an issue with. "You can't go to London because we've let 450 isis fighters come back who want you dead" ~ the police. Believe me when I tell you that all types of violent oppositions have been, and are, taken here in order to protect the rights of the minority. Apostasy may or may not be punishable by death in Islam (depending on the school of Islamic thought you follow), but no such punishment forms the constitution of Pakistani Law. The Supreme Court will have no choice but to release her under protection. And if it fails.. well, that's the day the entire nation definitely will fail. "Even Muslims that speak out and form charities to try and help Muslim apostates get attacked in the west." Not only in the West. I think such back lashes, inclusive of charges as strong as assassination, are more common in Muslim countries. So I know where you're coming from, except I desperately want you to realize that it is so much more worse to the preexisting Muslims in their Islamic countries. Which brings me to the point of how you say some countries operate without any hitches under the Islamic Law: it is because they do not confuse law with theocracy. Saudi Arabia (I've lived there as well) is the only Islamic country to impose Shariah Law and make it synonymous to political law. The reason why its citizens are 'fine' (they're not, really) with the way things are running is because it's a Kingdom and no riots are tolerated and it dishes out sentences without any forms of other consideration. And its best skill: being best friends with America allows it to 'hush up' all barbarism and rebellions that does take place within the country. Much of the Islamic World, not without good reason, considers the Arabian peninsula a pretty huge pain in the arse and think its portrayal of the super religion as false and exaggerated. "Don't take Jews or Christians as friends". I come from a background which encourages diversity of beliefs, but I know what you mean by this. However, these are not laws of any Islamic country, it's simply damaging preaching inculcated in children by underexposed, racist and feeble-minded Muslim parents. It is the same as the many Islamophobes of the West warning their children against making Muslims as friends or, at least, worrying about the quality of such a company among their offspring. This bias is shared equally between our worlds. Those names of Muslims you mentioned who issued such ridiculous fatwas; an equal number, or perhaps greater, stand up to speak against such fatwas. As I mention intermittently--there is always opposition to such claims and demands. It's a tragedy they're often overshadowed. The media plays its pieces rather cleverly. Both with you and I. Good man, I never intended to and nor do I still intend to counter you about Islam. You'll find me agreeing with you on some cold, hard facts that you've listed in your posts and which cannot be ignored. There are problems present somewhere which associate themselves with the religion, but they're quite exacerbated and their faithful rebels often cut out. I also know there are many holes in your knowledge and awareness (and in mine) and I can only tell you of that which is going on in the other side of the world. It would probably be hard for you to believe me, and I wouldn't force you to either, that there are many, many Muslims here who want that shredded peace with the West back. I agree that Muslims are the sufferers of it (alongside other religions, Hindus in Pakistan also suffer) after seeing Asia's case. That shows the power of the religion. Whereas in the west we have governments who can't answer the apostacy question, and are too afraid of Muslims, we also see Pakistan implementing that blasphemy law when it shouldn't have. The damage that one act caused is horrible, and partly it could have been from fear of the back lash since Pakistani politicans died in that case. I know Saudi Arabias influence, and by "fine" with it I also meant just tolerating it. Then again it's hard to say just how much of sharia law they do want. From what I've been hearing about Islam and the Quran there shouldn't be any sharia due to the amount of Muslims instisting it's un islamic. Instead they've wanted it or demanded it for so long that it's ingrained in Islam now. Btw I think Qatar has the death penalty for apostacy as well. Whereas you said only Saudi Arabia and possibly Qatar have Islamic law, I've looked at what other laws they have and pretty much all Muslim countries punish trying to convert a Muslim, and not the other way around. There's one link of each Islamic countries apostacy laws, but you need to google each seperate country with "proselytizing" next to the country. Muslims aren't the victims then, it's always atheists, Christians, Bahai etc that get persecuted. Here's Egypts for example. As long as any country is arresting or killling people for different beliefs, or criticism then there will always be islamists and extreme views in Islam. And if they don't go, it gets harder and harder to say it's only a minority of Muslims that are extreme. Not to mention any country that has laws where Muslims are held higher in any way shape or form is completely fascist. I've never been to an Islamic country, but with how easily we tolerate extreme views from supposedly the most educated Muslims in my country it is fair to criticise them. It's also worrying that Islam can be used and manipulated in such a way. We haven't seen the same done with Christianity, and it's a shame because I know it's put a lot of people off from visiting Islamic countries, like Morroco or Egypt etc. Asiya's case was just one of the many which have happened throughout the history of Pakistan. The only difference is, hers was highlighted, and with bias. The problem that I see with Pakistan and these blasphemous occurrences, I've attributed to a combination of religious extremism sprouting from a severe lack of exposure, knowledge, misinformation and ignorance of the said folks by their governments and fellow citizens who are more able. And you present a logical view. A fair criticism of not only Islam but any religion would be the followers not knowing where they stand. You're probably not aware of the extent of sectarianism that exists in Islam itself; the division of Islamic schools; the different perspectives of scholars; the cherry picking that has spread itself to divide the religion's nature in different Islamic countries as well as its pollution and wrong mingling with culture. In fact, cultures which 'borrow' from religion are more harmful than the religion itself--I personally vouch for this. I peg this a root cause of mislabeling of Islam when it comes to certain blame games. Shariah isn't un-Islamic, but it is pretty much considered to be set in stone by countries like Saudi Arabia, which choose to interpret it in the most restricted senses of judgement. Qatar is listed to have apostasy as a crime, but it's probable that it doesn't strictly follow through with this particular branch of law, or, if it does, then it chooses to do so very careful and keep its media and poopulation tightened on the leash. Likewise, countries who don't have apostasy listed as unlawful in their courts may see hangings and death sentences (usually owing to the people, rather than the lawmakers). What I'm trying to convince you of is to not put your faith completely into a stated apostasy law of a nation. When religion blinds its followers, the law seems to evaporate. Muslims are always the victims, along with the other followers of faiths. I will continuously make this amend--I believe that everything related to extremism here that we've discussed so far is harming humans. I would not agree with someone who groups the Muslims separately in this case. It is, of course, a misfortune that Muslims seemingly share a notion with the radicals, and that alone is tightening the leashes aroud their necks. After having many such conversations with many such people, I've realized, Mantis, that there is one meaningful step that can be taken to begin an opposition against this plague of the world: communication between the two sides. Between my side and your side. I'm quite sure that you, too, have realized by now that there are many things that we both do not know about each other, many hind sights that we're trapped in, much bias that has caused us to pick out swords and not really think about why we're attacking what we're attacking. This lack of communication is one of the more bigger reasons of why things have reached such a detrimental stage. And, of course, when England and America decide to sit on the table, with their cups of tea, and discuss certain important matters about their futures, I doubt they'd also extend the invitation to Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Syria or the likes. You see, these mongers aren't fit to be in their company. Their futures can be decided without their participation. A good colleague and friend of mine likes to say, "When two members fight, there's always a third which benefits", and I trust that. |

The Muslims in Myanmar are trying to carve out their own Islamic State. They are trying to destabilize the country and are carrying out assassinations. The Muslim groups you see operating in Myanmar have connections with Al-Qaeda. Buddhist monks are retaliating from what the Muslims are doing to their people and country. Buddhist monks were originally some of the most peaceful people on earth until the presence of Islam showed up. If you are a peaceful Muslim you shouldn't be anywhere near Myanmar. |

i don't approve of a lot of islam's ideologies like the sharia law, so those muslims that are in side with them, i am obviously going to oppose. And it's not even the case of distinguishing between their religion and what they are outside of religion, because at the end of the day their belief is part of them, so I just avoid those kinds of muslims entirely. Those that are moderate generally will get along with me, even if they play ignorant for the sake of blending with western society. But then again the latter goes for anyone, you could be a serial killer pretending to be a saint. |

Likewise, countries who don't have apostasy listed as unlawful in their courts may see hangings and death sentences (usually owing to the people, rather than the lawmakers). What I'm trying to convince you of is to not put your faith completely into a stated apostasy law of a nation. When religion blinds its followers, the law seems to evaporate. This is the reason I distrust Islam really. I do see where you're coming from when you explain the Asiya Bibi case in further detail, but it's also clear that the issues with Islam should have been cleared up by now. The damage interpretations of Islam has caused is irreversible. Even with Saudi Arabia having the death penalty for apostasy, not all receive it. They are however lashed and sentenced to jail still. All countries may still have their problems, including islamic ones, but arresting someone for non threatining "crimes" is a serious problem. Proselytizing I think is one of the worst laws as well. The act of tring to convert someone to another religion. I know I've seen that Muslims love to talk about their religion, and so does everyone else, so if you can't do it, that law needs to be criticised. Then again it's a difficult question to answer "do you distrust Muslims". As you said Muslims are at threat a lot of the time, so even they distrust other Muslims. I can't be honest and say I'd ever feel comfortable (if I were Muslim) leaving Islam. I even googled the most peaceful Muslim countries like the Maldives and it didn't take long to find Muslims who fear for their safety. They certainly wouldn't be islamists, I mean the Maldives is a hot spot for tourism still, but if normal everyday Muslims can still feel like you shouldn't announce that you're leaving Islam then I just want to know why. We shouldn't live in a world where you could one day accidentally fear that saying something could get you attacked, and it's these laws and rules that don't help. I've lost count of the amount of Muslims who say you just shouldn't announce that you're no longer Muslim because it could provoke something. How do so many Muslims in my secular democratic country have the same views as Muslims in Islamic countries? What makes them so infuriated whenever someone has an opposing opinion of Islam? Another way to look at it is with Christianity. If I were a homosexual I'd feel more comfortable in any country if Christians found out I was gay. Christians have a clear narrative of how Jesus acted. Muslims believe the bible is corrupted so they don't take any knowledge or values from Jesus, despite apparantly being a highly worshipped prophet. |

That Islam has interspersed between its followers, along with its law. Imagine if the religion was perfectly accepted in identical interpretation (be it wrong or right) and obeyed with utter zeal and no exceptions. Imagine 1.6 billion Muslims of a hive-mind, supporting all forms of Non-Muslim fears. The rest of the world wouldn't have survived it. It is fortunate for the differences to exist, because this keeps the balance in the religion, if I am allowed to say so. If a Muslim does you wrong in his ideology, there will currently be another one to stop him or protect you, using the same ideology differently. It is lucky for everyone that Islam is not followed to its nook and crannies with drones. It is a good fate that damaged interpretations have scored interreligious wars because, otherwise, all those wars would've been waged against the West, in much probability. Religion and spirituality is not so simple. I'd always viewed it as more of a personal matter, so even if there was a hive-mind of modernism in Islam, rather than traditionalism, it would've still sparked hostility. Wouldn't you agree? As for arresting someone for non threatening 'crimes', that's solely Saudi Arab's problem, really. They're some hard-to-reason-with people. "Proselytizing I think is one of the worst laws as well." You'd think rightly had it actually been a law. Proselytizing is not a law of Islam, thank fully. That would be ridiculous, I know. And about your narration regarding this... I am going to be completely honest with you: it's alien to me. I promise you I haven't ever heard of proselytizing being enforced anywhere near my part of the world, and I personally know a few reverts myself. Actively hiding reversion may or may not be practiced, depending on, not Islamic rules, but on societal stigma of a particular country. One can be loud about it, but it's wiser to not throw a party about you not being Muslim anymore if you're living in a Muslim republic and come from a Muslim background. This, by no means, indicates that the next day your head will be on a pike. No no. Fairy tales, Mantis. The most you'd get is "What a cursed family" or "How tragic. He's strayed off the rightful path". Yeah. That's about it. Of course, Saudi Arab is the exception to every case. But I even know Saudi reverts. Contrary to what you said, while we believe that the Bible has been corrupted, Jesus remains a Prophet for us and his teachings are definitely used to derive Islamic values. No doubt there. |

Contrary to what you said, while we believe that the Bible has been corrupted, Jesus remains a Prophet for us and his teachings are definitely used to derive Islamic values. No doubt there. What I mean is there isn't really any or enough detail of Jesus's message in the Quran. It seems we're traversing towards personal opinions now. So far, all I'd wanted to do was create factual awareness. But now that you've touched on questions that probe me for my views--something I don't like handing out so freely on a subject so sensitive. Interpretations cannot be eradicated, they can only be interpreted differently, which they are. To actually eradicate an interpretation means to eradicate that part of the Quran or hadith--something that cannot happen. I haven't heard of any interpretation that calls Non-Muslims scum in the Quran; unless you're referring to the narrations from the Prophet's life time which tells us of the violence he had to endure at the hands of the idol worshipers in his quest to spread Islam, in which case they were the ones who viewed the last Prophet and his people as scum. The Quran does warn against Jews, however and it refers to the rest as 'unbelievers' which is a term used literally, and not offensively. The religion itself cannot be reformed. Its following can. People probably criticize Salafists/Wahhabis because they're usually puritans and happen to blur the line between acceptably personal ultraconservatism and radicalism. Saudi Arabia is a prime example of people who promote Wahhabism. I haven't had much experience with Salafists/Wahhabis otherwise. Their derivations of Quran has little flexibility and is accused, often, to be too literal. It is in the Quran to actually not enforce proselytizing. There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion. The right course has become clear from the wrong. So whoever disbelieves in Taghut and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handhold with no break in it. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing. Al-Baqarah, 2:256 And say, The truth is from your Lord, so whoever wills - let him believe; and whoever wills - let him disbelieve. (Surat Al-Kahf 18:29) So yes. The Quran definitely opposes proselytism. And no, not 'pretty much every Islamic country' has it as a crime. You've been misinformed, I believe. "If every Islamic country has always got away with having these laws then Muslims must like having them." That is a dangerously generalized statement, Mantis. As for seeing problems with the differences... it's a little too late for that now, don't you think? The difficulty lies in the notion of the differences themselves. One group cannot out win the other in a matter of faith. It's faith. "But that would require reading the gospel as well as the Quran, whereas a lot of Muslims I've met don't agree that the events of the gospel played out how they did at all. The injeel isn't with humans. What I mean is there isn't really any or enough detail of Jesus's message in the Quran." Even stories of our Prophets hold inconclusive or warped sects. There is a basic plot that is accepted by all; the disagreements erupt when it comes to the finer details, which, in my opinion, can be deemed irrelevant or taken in the best form. The Quran is not the only source of knowledge for Islam. Hadiths make up a huge part, as well as historical texts from scribes from the Prophet's time (sahabas). Have you read the Quran? |

Leaving Islam is the perfect example. In any country time after time again people say leaving islam was the most nerve racking thing they've experienced. I said earlier that Muhammad was also reported saying "whoever leaves their religion kill them". You mentioned there's no compulsion in religion so what I'm getting at is that there has to be a reason the stigma of leaving Islam hasn't faded away. As for proselityzing there's no specific website that lists it's laws like the one I gave before showing all the apostacy laws. So you need to just google each country unfortunately. I did already give you the Maldives as an example though.

Kind of a warped view of freedom of religion if people want proselytizing illegal. I've read about a quarter of the Quran. |

I distrust all communities like they have, also I dislike all foreigners and people who aren't from my county so take that how you will. They're everywhere in my home town now, walking around in gangs talking gibberish to each other while eye balling you as they walk past. I doubt any of them work either since they all hang around outside of their council houses smoking and drinking no matter what time you walk past on any day, and the ones with the bed sheets on their head are every where in the town too which should be banned for security, I can't wear my bike helmet into a petrol station but they can go into banks, airports and anywhere else with their entire body covered. |
