ORIGINAL: PeonForHer That's it in a nutshell - it's *never* just a religion thing - not with Christians, nor with Muslims. It flabbergasts me constantly that so many people seem to assume that everything about what this or that group of Muslims does is entirely determined by their religion. Why would it be? It isn't for people who are Christian. Again here lies the problem. Treating Islam as the same as Christianity, leads to such conclusion. This is stem from very little understanding of Islam and just assuming, it's exactly like Christianity. The root of the problem is, you must compare how the bible was compiled, compared to how the Quran was compiled. Quran came directly from Muhammad himself as the source, it came from one source. Bible was compiled by multiple sources. So there is alot of questionable bits in the bible that can easily be allergorised or said to be inaccurate. But with the Quran, IF people fail to understand what Muhammad was trying to say in the Quran. There are Tafsir and Hadith, also considered Islamic authentic text to clarify and give clear examples of exactly what Muhammad means when he says anything in the Quran. Many moderate Muslims are horrified themselves about what's in the Tafsir and Hadith, it would lead to exactly what Terrorists believe in, and for them to feel comfortable with their own religion, they choose to believe those are not truth, and just make it like Christianity, just stick to the Quran and allegorise things. But true Islam includes the Hadith and the Tafsir. The combination of the Quran,Hadith and Tafsir brings a very violent and I call it old testament upgrade version 2 ideology. Some Muslims choose to ignore the bad stuffs to assimilate into modern societies, but there will always be those who will be religious and pious that will follow the exact text, AS LONG as we keep encouraging it by blanketing it as the Religion of Peace. Sometimes, what is amazing is, there is so much hateful content in that religion, yet we blindly choose to ignore it. We think KKK is bad, Nazism is bad, as those are evil ideology preaching hate to a particular group of people, yet Islam gets special treatment and have the whole world support their stance that despite preaching hate in their holy text, they are apparently still peaceful. Is by default of defining their ideology as a Religion, automatically makes it peaceful? Time for KKK and Nazis to call themselves a Religion too to be branded peaceful. Scientology managed to.
