Islam , the religion of evil

  • glass houses

    Truth is Islam is no better or worse than other religions and every thing you said about Islam could be said about Christianity. You see all religions have the same problem they are made by men. While Islam converted parts of three continents by the sword Christianity did the same thing to the whole world. Btw it’s not Islam that drives converts away from Christianity it’s zealots no offence intended

  • I am always curious when I see a debate like this
    How many of us who would judge any religion have actually read and studied the basic text the religion was formed from in detail?

    By detail, I don't mean sitting in front of another human that we expect to interpret things for us because we are too lazy to read it ourselves from cover to cover more than once and make an intelligent decision.

  • How do you know?

    There are as many Christians that do immoral things as Muslims. Why do you have to categorize people based on their religious belief?

    JUST BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE IN SOMETHING, IT DOESN'T MAKE IT RIGHT. IT MAY BE RIGHT FOR YOU, BUT NOT FOR THE REST.

    And if you are an Islam-expert, then you have the right to give opinions like this. Christianity hasn't done anything for the world either . The only thing religions have done to us is bring conflicts and chaos.

  • Islam has done nothing for the world

    right from the beggining. ishmael the forced birth is technicaly the father of islam ,his birth was a mistake . at no point in the bible did anything good come from disobeyin god. mohamed a rapist murderer and dictator who used the qu'ran ( a badly plagerised bible) to justify his evil acts .Islam is one of the many tools of the devil , apears to be peaceful and loving but deceives away from the true lord christ . I mean no offence but the truth is not always complementary

  • What?

    Why do you think Islam is evil? It is not! Islam is a religion, with their own beliefs. They have the right to believe their own religion.

  • A red herring argument

    It is true that the Old Testament contains violence but the fact is neither Judaism or Christianity were ORIGINALLY spread by violence, (The Crusades came later, whereas Mohamed actually spread the faith by violence).

    The fact is, I agree there may be parts of Islam which are evil, but we cannot argue the point by suggesting terrorism, etc. because in the same way as the IRA are extreme and hypocritical followers of Christianity, these suicide groups etc. are extreme and hypocritical followers of Islam.

    If you seek to criticise a religion, do exactly that - criticise the religion and not the followers.

  • Read the Koran

    I am a christian, but under Mosaic law, we must be aware of other religons and respect them. The Koran follows much of the Judaic texts that we do excluding the prophetic books after the first 5 of Moses. In order to understand each other, we must stray from fundamentalism and dogmatic persecutions which lead to hatred which Jesus proffessed against. Becareful when smashing ones religon. Pray for your enemies and they will no longer be enemies

  • Islam and the Dark Ages

    Unfortunately, Islam has adopted some of the more violent and irrational parts of the Old Testament which Christians have replaced with the New Testament. The Koran and Shania laws prescribe the death penalty for adultery, disrespectful sons and daughters, leaving Islam for another religion, criticizing Islam, and a number of minor offenses. Islam is an aggressive religion that, in the past, converted infidels with force (become a Muslim or die). Islam opposes the separation of religion and the state and, consequently, is opposed to secular democracy. Its extensive laws affect every area of a person’s life and it doesn’t tolerate change. Because of this, Islam is stuck in the dark ages and is incompatible with the 21st century. The increasing gap between the modern age and a dark age’s religion exasperates the feelings of alienation among Muslims.

  • Right...
    Honestly, I don't think that any religion is TRULY evil; except the people that force it unto others that make the religion evil.

  • ?!?!?!
    Having read through all the comments here, I am appalled and disgusted, especially the comments from the usual christian fundamentalists (you know who you are). Christianity has committed so many acts of barbarism that far out weigh the evil acts a minority of muslims have done over the centuries. Let's see, witch burning, spanish inquisition, catholic protestant divide, crusades, bombing of abortion clinics, KKK and neo nazi groups.
    The whole reason that christians tend to have this pathetic superiority complex stems from the the old European Imperial attitude which is basically racism.
    I can't see why the abrahamic religion can't be a bit more like the eastern ways and be accepting of each other. But then i suppose thats like asking a child to be an adult!
    The abrahamic religion needs to learn it must grow and mature in order to accept the fact that there are many different paths to get to god. It must also accept that the different aspects of it all came from the same place but from slightly different cultures which will explain the differences between them.
    Do you honestly think christianity is as it was first envisioned? Of course it isn't. It became westernised and corrupted by power hungry men who saw the potential of having control of people through a religion.
    Jesus said love your neighbour and if christians are meant to obey this law to get to heaven well seems like most of you are going to burn!

  • You're wrong
    If you do beleive in god... You're wrong.

    My opinion on this cannot be better expressed than by a song by NOFX.

    Everybody (especially christians) should listen to "You're Wrong" by NOFX. You can find it on you tube.

  • Depends...
    In honest opinion, I think religious texts can give wonderful morale. I've been raised as Crhistian, and I've read much of the bible out of pure curiosity. Many of it is good morale, I mean out of date (the gender thing, for example) and some of it is just plain wrong (the real meaning of the word "demon", for example) but if you consider it evil then that's just because of your beleifs; what exactly is good and evil? It's outlined by what you believe in. Some people think not worshipping god is really bad; apparantly some don't think that at all. Really, it depends; if you think it's evil, then alright. If you don't think Islam is evil, then good for you; because obviously, Muslims don't think it's evil.
